Not sure - is anybody else having the same problems? I've checked the link and it's working for me, but I'll have a look into it. If you can't download it we'll find another way to get it to you.

I have had no problem with this download. Checked again today to make sure nothing had changed.

Pol, two things:

1) Try right hand clicking on the download link and select "Save target as" to download the file direct to disk. (The default is to open the file in the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin to Internet Explorer)

2) You do have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed?

It won't be possible to email it as it's 140mb. The only thing I can suggest if you can't download it is that we copy it onto a disc and post it to you.

Dakota - thank you!

I bought my first Xt600E today and discovering your site was a very lucky move. I've already downloaded the manual and am gradually ploughing through, it page by page.

Can't wait to put some miles under its wheels.

If you have a workshop manual (preferably with Yamaha part numbers) for a 2001 TT600R you can have a bottle of red wine!!

Big K - you're welcome and enjoy your bike.

Walkabout - soz can't help you as I don't have one, but when you only pay a couple of euros for a bottle of wine here in sunny Spain, it wouldn't be a very good deal anyway (just kidding).

Hope to see some of you on the road down here.

The manuals for the Parts Catalogue (Exploded) for XT600E, Factory Workshop Manual for XT600 (351 pages/140Mb) and the Service Manual for TT600 are still available on Smokin' Lizard and Moto Andalucia.

I've just uploaded the Parts Catalogue in Spanish and Portuguese, and the Owners Manual to the Moto Andalucia site. If you have any problems downloading, PM or email me as we only have a 10Gb per month download limit.

I hate when that happens. The car wash people with those high pressure sprayers have killed my bike twice, took me about 20-30 minutes each time to get it started. My XT600E runs great, starts easily and I can ride it all day in the rain but for some reason the pressure sprayers can kill it. I will have to quit being lazy and wash it by hand from now on.

BTW, glad you fixed your problem. Not good to be without an XT!
