Ultimate XT600???
What are the best mods for the XT600???
I mean engine, carb, gearing, etc..... I am refering to the early kick/kick and electric models. I've heard of these motors knocking out nearly 100 bhp (Check out Slipstream Engineering). I'm just in the middle of having a play about (again.....) |
Dear God
Really!? 100BHP?
The most I've heard of is 70BHP, and that's with the 101mm Piston, ported/polished head, and dual Mikuni FCRs. |

more power?
does slipstream engineering have a website?
I have a xt600e 1990 that could do with a bit more oomph on the green lanes. |

I had a crazy thought yesterday in that why not just get X2 XT600 engines, take the crank case off on the left and right side of separate engines and JOIN the crank... removing an entire clutch assembly and putting a beefier clutch on it.
Seal up all the holes and stick a bigger oil tank on it and voila! , an XT1200EE with 84bhp as stock and more than enough torque to not require a front wheel at all. With a cost of an extra 40 kilos for the engine half. Stick the XTZ660 barrels on it with water jacket and rads and you have a BMW killing XT1320EE super super super super tenere Stick the 90bhp pistons in it and you have 150+ bhp. Use the TT600R alloy bits to save more weight, and a kicker to save more weight and there you have it a super super super super tenere XT1320EE and it'd still do 30mpg. And as a bonus if you get the firing order right it will suddenly not be vibey at all. BMW would be buried forever and unsuspecting 600/1000cc sports bikes owners would be shocked to see what looks like a fat XT600E destroy them at the traffic light races. |

I will lend you my CT90. after that, EVERYTHING will feel FAST!! :mchappy: |

This could be fun. |

yeh those guys talk a good project but the whole thing they described would never work transmition, balance shafts, lubrication sytem etc.
be simpler to put off road bits on a virago 1200 i'm hoping that i get about 55bhp out of my xt600 project high comp oversize piston with a ported and polished head, diff carbs and exhuast etc. i got rid of some weight too so it should rip |

PM me for details if you are intrested. It has one off aluminium inlets too!!! |
damn tom i've already done all the engine i work could have done with that a few months ago.
i just got to make some caliper mounts for my very moddified rear end and a few other little bits and shes ready to go :mchappy: |
What's the engine spec???
PM me with details - Also what carbs you are using??? Cheers |
wossner high comp 98mm piston did the head work myself opened the inlet and ex ports slightly smoothed and polished the combustion chamber the carbs are 2 bcr32's still working on the jetting i use my arse dyno so untill the r6 swingarm is fitted properly and the rear brake is spot on i cant road test it.

I've tried doing a search and couldn't find them. I'd be running 36mm carbs due to the inlets on the head I have. The problem I had was trying to make them fit within the frame:(. I just gave up. The former owner of the head used Amals but they are mega bucks!!! |

mikuni they are the same as used by suzuki on the freewind 650 and the ccm r30 bikes fitted with the suzuki engine
i had to modify the standard inlet stubs, the throttle cable assy and the tubes to the air box |
Please keep us updated =)

Results from a dynorun to see if the effort pays of :)

dyno's dont give the whole story though its more about how the power is delivered.i upped the power with the new carbs, airbox mod and exhaust system prior to the strip down of the bike to powder coat the frame and noticed that the increase in power and supermoto conversion had compromised the capabilities of the standard braking system and there were handling issues, its hard to steer when the front wheel's lifting mid corner.i have now changed the weight of the bike using a longer swingarm different gearing and wheels complete with uprated brakes.so if the dyno gave a figure at the lower end of my estimate of around 55bhp it will not give a proper indication of this bikes capabilities.

No, 'course not.
But the HP and the torque curve could be wery interesting to see. A lot of tuneup's on single cylinder bikes gives more effeect, but at higher rpms. |
tuning tends to be more top end of the rev range as this is where most engines can be improved upon with the standard displacement.
tuning is simply just what it is, the fine tuning of the materials available there is no replacement for displacement if you want more power at the lower end of the rev range. |
