similar engines
 

Are srx engines any better than xt's for power? eg bigger valves, better porting etc.
Thanks Neil

same as it ever was
 

The engine is the same.. no diff

Thanks, just wondered, with them being 608cc, if anything else was different.
Thanks anyway, Neil

I've have had an SRX6 (608cc, although some models were 598cc just like the XT) for around the last 18 months, and just got myself an XT6. basically the same engine, with a few differences in the bottom end that i could see.

in my limited experience (n = 1) the XT engine is smoother and revs a bit more freely (both bikes are completely stock), although this could just be because the SRX6 is getting a little worn (32k kms on the SRX6 vs 10k kms on the XT6)

Cheers,
Phil

Does anybody know what other engines from the XT range will fit in my 1VJ ?

I want a spare engine.

www.xt600.de has the info you need. All you need is babelfish and a bit of imagination. Try searching previous posts in this forum.
My 1vj has a late model 3aj engine with the better engine mods, ie barrel, head, oil pump, gearbox oil feed etc. Went straight in. Later engines need either alternator case swap from 1vj engine or wiring mods.
Hope this helps, Neil

Do XT and SRX series use the same carburetor?

As far as I know, they are all variations of the Tekei 27 double carb.
