XT600z 1VJ 1988
 

Hi out there,
Bought XT600z 1VJ 1988.
I own it a year I want to replace the tyres, what would you recommend 70% road 30% offroad use and what size?
Also the battery fluid has evaporated twice what would cause this?
Whats the right spec battery.

Tyres: Continental TKC80
Theres not much difference between them on road, but off road its a whole different ball game.
Front - 90/90 - 21 M/C 54 S
Rear - 120/90 - 17 M/C 64 S

But with the ludicrously low price of spare XT600 wheels you may a s well buy a second set and run two sets of wheels, one on road one off road!
There is also the Pirelli Mt21 which are widely used and great for a slightly more off road biast tyre than the Tkc80's


Correct battery = YB12AL-A2 12V 12AH
The battery fluid sounds like your rectifier/regulator is running amok and over charging. Probably need to buy a new one or your aging wiring is not happy!
