Thanks jjrider, I already took it apart, and like you said, nothing special in there...

I am still waiting for gaskets and some other parts to arrive, so I guess I will be working on the bike after the vacation wich I start this friday, and than we are off to Brno GP :mchappy:

If anyone from the hubb is going, we can meet for a beer or twobeer

Just a short question. Will an Aprilia pegaso 650 Mikuni double carb, fit on xt600?

Got it for free, so was thinking of swaping. If not, then the carb is for sale ;)

Dont think so, the xtz660 is also slightly different (different bore in one of the carbs) as I recall... But not totally sure.

The only dual carb setups that I've found to fit (with mods) the XT600 are the Raptor 660's (barely fit and need to cobble air intakes) and the Kawasaki Ninja 250's, which are a good option. For fuel injection the Ninja 300 dual throttle bodies fit nicely but of course there's the wiring and sensors stuff needed to be added.

Ok, thanks.

I just did a search on those carbs and they look awfully similar to the Raptor carbs , dual BSR Mikuni's . They are are 31 mm so they may fit better than the Raptors which are 33mm and don't fit very good in the boots bolted to the engine because they are bigger than the originals , fitment would be depending on the width between the 2 for fitting the ports on the XT.

If you can measure the outside diameters of the "snouts" and the distance between the 2 carbs , even outside to outside of the snouts that go into the engine side boots . You may have found another carb option . It looks like there's plenty of material there to turn the od of those snouts to fit perfect , could even turn them a little offset to fit the head port spacing better if needed. They will be a little better than the stock ones with more air flow and actual tuning options , won't be a huge performance gain but some . I see they will fit the frame much better than the Raptor carbs because they don't have the vacuum ports for the slide diaphragms coming out the back up top like the 660's which actually runs right into the bikes frame gusset and requires cutting the frame plus some modding to the vacuum ports to make a 90deg corner right there.

The worst part with them that is the same as the Raptors carbs is the airbox to carb boots . The stock may not fit (again need to get this dia to know), so a person would need to find some hoses to go around the shock and curve back in to the airbox then somehow mount with an adapter , but could easily be machined . The hose is the hard part to fit and other use pod filter on the Raptor carbs because of this.

Due to lack of time, the project is getting along very slowly...

Had to split the cases, change out some bearings an oil seals, but the cases are going back together today, so hopefully it finally starts this week :funmeteryes:

So, the bike is all back together an starts and runs like it should. No more oil leaks, and the clutch and gearbox work great.

thanks for all the input :clap:

ps: the bike is for sale for 600€
