Newbie to the site and the XT600
Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie to the site, just bought a 2002 XT600E with 8300 miles on the clock and FSH. I suspect I'll be asking a lot of questions as I start to work on the bike and get familiar with it, so any help you can give will be much appreciated.
First question is my model no? My vehicle identification no starts JYADJ02. Is this my model no, or is there a three letter abbreviation of this more commonly used, such as JYA or J02? (ie: bubbla's bike is a "3AJ")
I will be kitting it out with hard aluminium panniers, a top box to match and a sump guard and taking it down to Portugal via the Plymouth - Santander ferry in around March time and doing a few days riding mountain trails with a mate. Plan to make that at least an annual trip, if not twice a year and do different parts of Portugal, Spain and France. I did a similar holiday in the Sierra Gorda region of Mexico a couple of years ago.
Otherwise it's going to be my everyday bike for commuting and trips into town and some green-laning.
Anyway, here's the bike.
