1993 xt600 Needs bigger tank
I have a 1993 xt600 ea or eac and I live in the US, and I need an oversized fuel tank, can't find one at internet retail site or ebay for a 1993. Assistance would be appreciated.

So, I realize that thread is related, but I would like some clarification. Would an Acerbis tank from 95-02 work on the 93 with just minor fitting? I am also not real clear on the differences between the xt600e, xt600ea, and xt600eac.
|
No....sorry.
|
So... again, anyone with suggestions as to where I might find a larger fuel tank for the 93 in th US, please help.

Lambeth says: Can also fit 1989-1995 XT600E 3TB model with simple modifications to bike - please email or phone for details. Send mail and ask what to do Yamaha XT600E 4PT DJ02 96-06 Acerbis 23Litre Long Range Overland Expedition Tank | eBay |
Seat, tank, sidecovers, and rear fender is different on 4pt....Please post detaisl regarding how to modify the bike to suit the newer style tank. I think it would help a lot of folks out there...

US models are quite different than European models, I doubt Lambeth has even tried to fit on US models so I wouldn't trust it. He will gladly sell one though, don't bother trying to return it though.

He is an honest man and is very knowledgable of the xt so Im sure he is aware of the 'US version' if there is one. He wouldnt sell you parts that may not fit your vehicle and is very helpful with any questions you may have. He has a reputation to uphold why would he sell you things that wont work?? |
Actually I did deal with him , I can't say anything good about him, thus my words. It involved selling stuff that didn't fit US bikes and he wouldn't stand behind them. Lets just say international sales are not a concern of his. I won't go into it any farther here.

The thing I'd be concerned with is any frame changes between countries. I have a German 3tb wiring harness and a US harness and quite a few of the locations for parts are at a different place between the two so mounting locations are different. Makes me wonder if parts of the frame is also. I think the US would be closest to the 2NK (or 2NF, whichever one was Europe's first e-start model)

Well, Walter does the 95 and up tank fit the 90-94 XT? We have inquiring minds and want to know. And maybe do the same thing. THUMPTHUMP
