Heres a pic of my XR600.Ive never really liked them but when my neighbor had this for sale with the gold excell rims I couldnt resist.I fitted CR500 number plates and front guard and a ne old stock stillmotor rear and the doma mufler all of which I had lying around.I rode it in practice at Bidabadaba and it went great but striped 3 gear levers and eventually 2nd let go.Can wait to get it running again.

Im just using the stock SP ones,would the 30mm ones be better?Does that mean my front wheel will be 5mm further forward?

Less off set equals more trail, slower, heavier steering, more steering effort required

He really loves it for some reason but I just love riding with him,he really pushes that old thing round and round till he cant hold on any longer.
I pulled the main jet and it has a 160 in it.Im not sure of the size of this PWK but it has a 160 main so saying it maybe a 35mm?Im thinking a 140 main maybe more suited?The needle was on the bottom clip so someone was trying to feed it some data.
the numbers on the carb are G491 AMK2.
Im going to see the shop for a smaller jet tomorrow,any suggestions?

34mm carbs off tt500's were a good swap over carb for sp370's or if you like pumper carbs a sr500 34mm carb would do and both use the twin cable setup.

Great to see you running the old girl in James. Looks like you're enjoying your handywork  8)

There are pics of the XL on here somewhere, but here's some more.







Since these pics I've modified the brake pedal to run over the footpeg. I've also made a new airbox along with the tail pipe and muffler as I felt the original way I had it was a bit too restrictive.
