"Slow" XT600 ??
Hiya, firstly thanks to all of you that answer my many questions and panic calls for help.
Here is a strange problem I have with my XT and the steps I have taken to overcome it.
Flat out is 120kmh. 4500 rpm no more. engine revs freely to redline through gears, but not in top.
stripped carbs off and replaced the Diaphraghm as it was a bit floppy looking, also the needle valve assembly as that was leaking and causing carbs to overflow.
Now the bike is MUCH more responsive through the gears, a lot more fun to ride, but still 120kmh (75mph) flat out!!
I was wondering if maybe the gearing was wrong? the rear sprocket is 39 teeth the gearbox is 15? is this correct?(parts supplied by wemoto ) it is a 1987 2KF XT600.......
Im not a speed merchant, but overtaking power at 100kmh is handy and also the parts guy at Flitwick motorcycles says it SHOULD do 150kmh or 95mph.
your thoughts please.....
