Xt600 Air Filter

Hey all! I have a Twin Air air filter for a Yamaha XT600, it says Tenere Z 1984/1986. If this fits your bike you can have it. I ordered an air filter for my 1990 XT600 and they sent me this which won't fit mine.

The picture is exactly what it looks like. I'll ship it for free because I have no use for it and couldn't sell it on EBay. Thanks guys!

Wow that filter looks nothing like the filter they put into the XT600E! Both mine have Pippercross foam replacements. I have heard that Pipercross filters don't always fit properly but mine surely do.

Am I right in understanding the Yamaha XT600 was never imported into the USA? Pity.

I was told that the Kawasaki KLR650 and Honda XR650 became the XT600 you never got?

Kentfallen.. XT600E was sold until 1995 in the US before they changed to the 4PT!
My 1990 XT600E was imported from the US to the Azores

They changed the airbox/airfilter.

This is how a twinair looks for the more modern xt600's.

Hello folks

I know I'm digging up an old thread, and apologize for this.

I am looking for a twin air filter for a 3TB/DJ02 XT600 like the one Jens has (had?)

I have looked everywhere on the internet, I think, but could not find one anywhere. All I could find was the replacement foam, which has reference 794150, but not the complete filter with the alu box.

Does anyone remember where those could be purchased, or would have one available somewhere?

Thanks

Thanks a lot Jens. If you want to sell yours, let me know, I'm interested

If not, I'll contact Zupin

Out of curiosity, what filter are you using? I think you do a lot of offroading, so your feedback is of interest to me.

Result after a couple days of searching

I got a chance to discuss with a friendly danish guy

After going through his old papers, Jens found the reference for this filter. It is not a traditional "air filter" but a "twin air powerflow kit"

The Twin Air reference is 152607C or 152 607C


So they can still be found on the net, but it's a bit pricey. Plan an hundred euros at least, plus shipping

Can be found for sale for example here:
TWIN AIR POWERFLOW KIT XT600E 91/..XT660E - Schrems Racing Parts
here:
Twin Air Powerflow Kit XT600E 91-.. XT660E, 112,53 &euro;
or here:
Twin Air Powerflow Kit XT600E 91-.. XT660E - Yamaha - Luchtfilters - Motorfiets delen | MotoXshop, de #1 motocrossshop van Nederland

Thanks a lot to Jens for his help on this!
