Xt600e 1998
 

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post here ... but I have been lurking a little while. I'm in the process of purchasing an XT600E from overseas; I believe it's a 1997/1998 model although the owner is passing is as a 1999 model. I have two questions:

1) I think the model is a 3TB, what are the difference to the models that came later?

2) There is a kink on the left hand side of the down tube close to the header. The owner is saying that it's there to screw / unscrew the header pipe (see pic). Can someone confirm? Should there be another on the right hand side?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi welcome in the forum! You got the 4PT http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...b-vs-4pt-70853

2. Dont know what kink is, but yes there is a nut on each side of pipe to remove them, one down one up.

Thank you for the response. Kink is dent, I marked it in the photo. Is this as it should be?

Hi Kukku and welcome!

I have a 2003 model and that kink is supposed to be there.
