calling all TT600RE owners past n present
 

Hi all

This is my new to me bike, which over the next few months will be getting prepped for a RTW trip starting May 2012

So having spent many nights googling n searching and lots of reading I would still like to hear from owners

1. Best mods

2. best UK parts supplier

3. aftermarket parts ie Acerbis tank

Cheers

just a couple basic things i appreciate during longer trips, ceterstand as apposed to the side stand aids in maitnance. i would recomend a shorter fender i see theres vents in the rear but having it shorter in the front will have better air flow to the eng. i do like the acerbis tank as it is a fair bit larger and less need to fill up as often. i do very much enjoy yoshimura pipes and feel they work very well with yamahas. good luck with the trip

thanks for the reply

Yes Acerbis tank is top of the list


List of many !

Cheers

WeMoto are good for parts and they won't dick you about if they haven't got what you're after. There aren't really a great deal of parts available for TT600REs, probably because it doesn't need a great deal doing to it. A bigger tank, Acerbis' 20litre tank will give you a 250+ mile range. Metal mule do a rack, expensive but well made. I put a cheap generic screen on mine and 30,000 kms later haven't needed to do more than that.

Here's mine cooling off in the Alps this summer:

Cheers all for the help :helpsmilie:

Ive had a fair bit of stuff from Wemoto so happy to use them

Im probably going to get an acerbis tank from racespec.. unless someone knows a cheaper place.

Going to get a local guy to fabricate some racks to hold my trusty pelican cases (also get a small ali box as a topbox for charging laptop, phone etc)

The I will strip her down and replace anything remotely worn and more :cool4:

Will post some pics when the works all done... I must admit coming from a Wee strom Im starting to fall in love with the old thump thump thumper :thumbup1:

Hi Geordie,
Definitely recommend a acerbis tank as well as increasing the fuel range it makes the bike a lot more stable in cross winds. I fitted a metal mule rack to mine but i wasn't happy with the fit, it needs a lot of persuading to fit. I would also recommend you do something with the seat, I found on long journeys it was like sitting on a plank.

Got a larger tank coming :thumbup1:

along with few more bits n pieces

as for the seat I have bought a gel slab and will soon be performing a bottomely on my seat (did it on my vstrom and it makes a world of difference)

Im having my racks locally fabricated.. will post pics when all done :scooter:

Cheers

Hope to see pics from youre seat-mod =)

In this bike is very important to grease the rear arm frequently, I´ve broke two of them.
