Separately, the more I recall it, the more I think the whole of the speedo system, for the kicker TTR600 anyway, is a pile of junk.
IIRC, the innards of the speedo head also consist of gears made of nylon.

Not sure I believe it... The bike looks in good nick though.

A lot of people sit on bikes and only ride them twice a year though.

Or just a couple of trail rides a year.

We'll see when it gets here..

The TTR600 is fully road legal in UK/Europe.
Then along came the RE model to make it a bit more civilised.

Yup... 250 miles away and cheap enough to take a gamble on.

Waiting for my courier to find a window so should have it end of next week..

Often.. Mostly through nostalgia and it's refusal to ever let me down.

I don't miss it's terrible suspension and lack of power though. ;)

Hahah, yeah they ain't perfect that's for sure!
But I can't phantom ever letting mine go.. although I haven't ridden her in almost 3 years..

And she's sitting inside the garage mostly disassembled...plastics off, fuel tank off, chain off in a plastic container filled with oil..
Just the engine sitting on the frame with full suspensions, wheels, downpipes and air filter ports plugged so it won't rust inside...

I need to get it up to tiptop shape but probably only by winter if I do get my work visa papers and go off to work in the US..
If not, I'll fix her up this summer for sure!
