 Picked this up for a first bike. Doesn't need much, but the the carbs need work. Im not sure if Im going to replace them with a better used set, bring it to a shop, or do a carb swap of some sort. What do you guys think? |

I did not mention this spacer but you need one on the rear mount about 1 1/4 long

TT600 oil Tank On 86 Xt600
Hey, Thanks for the pics. Nice to see in place and working. Do you have to go with the pods or will the stock airbox work with the TT600 oil tank?

I am not sure. I looked at a parts schematic and there are differences in the filter element and the inlet. The rest looks very simular. Push comes to shove get an air box from a tt.

Tank stickers
Looks like the '86 XT tank graphics are on the wrong sides. Still looks good. I just put new graphics on my '86 is why it caught my eye.

Someone not too far away has a 1994 XT600 for sale, asking $1800. Says it's in good shape. Anything I should be concerned with on this year/model or XT's in general?
Thanks.
