Hi Vando
New here and VERY curious about your thoughts and transformations on the single carb on XT 600, as I'm about to do it on my own 1993 XT600. I got the manifold and a Keihin FCR 39 carbie. I'm determined on doing this just for the challenge. What vas your experience with the damper and behavior?
Best Regards
Jakob

Hi Jakob... Been away from the HUBB for a while now.
In order for you to get this to work you will have to change the rear shock mount position so you can SAFELY accomodate the rear shock and avoid it hitting the carburetor!
You might know already that you will need to either modify or remove the stock airbox in order to work with the single carburetor.
I've got a brand new 2-into-1 carburetor intake that you will need to make the exchange. If you want it, send me a PM!
On the pictures I showed, I actually effectively repaired the carburetor cap with JB-weld! I also used JB-weld to repair both my engine casings and it has been holding for over 3k km without any leaks or cracks whatsoever.

Hi Vando
Long Time and old thread. Just want to Say That I finally succeded and my XT is now equpped with a FCR 39 carb. This is in general what I did:
- removed old carb setup and airbox
- grinded out part of the frame as you did on your picture.
- relocated the rear shockmount approx. 6 cm back.
-altered the lower shockmount/linkarm to accomodate a ktm lc4 rear shock.
- fabricated a 2 in 1 manifold for the carb which is 4 cm shorter than the grizzly. Otherwise the carb would hit the starter.
Bottomline - the shit is working perfectly. Suspension is working and so is the fcr.

Best Regards
Jakob

So much want right now... Damn you, wallet!
But my question would be: isn't Keihin FCR 35 dual carb setup (like the ones "Performance for raptor 660") better or the same like 39 single?
I don't know if they would fit an XT or not, but I think they should.

Cutting frame and changing place for shock? No this is to much, if bike is that bad in the beginning i recomend buying a KTM 75Hp, you will never get enough hp from the XT...

Why you need it to be 25+ years old? The price here on the models around 2000 is so low that you can compare with old XT.

Actually it was just to Challenge myself as og it could be done. The lower rpm torgue has definately improved, but i'm not sure I have gained any hp.
Also i'm not sure I Can Call it a Yamaha anymore so now i'm calling it YamaKTM. Reason is this:
- Carb (fcr39) from a ktm exc 450
- rear shock from a ktm lc4
- rear wheel from a ktm lc4
- front fork is a 48mm WP USD from a ktm lc4
- front wheel with 300mm disc and Brembo caliper also from ktm lc4.
Also for me I like the simplicity of one carb in terms tuning and adjusting

I've just got a dellorto phm 38mm with the cables and the throttle just so I can convert mine too... I have ordered a grizzly manifold from eBay and I'm anxiously waiting for the part to come to Greece so I can do that too... I'm not gonna cut the frame though... I'm gonna put a high flow tube with a conic air filter that's gonna go around the rear suspension... will that work?

I think your manifold and the Carb is too small... will check it further(I think I did the same mistake) but it has to do with cccm (cubic cm per min) and the flow of the intake into the engine... will check the cccm from the guy who made me my handmade exhaust... he was at school with me and I remember he had a book with all that equations about flow etc
