Do you have an idea which tenere your after? e.g. xt600 tenere, xtz660 tenere 3yf/4my. etc...
I don't know much about the xt600, but if you go for a xtz660 pre 94 make sure it has a finned type Regulator/Rectifier. You can find this on the right hand side of the dash bracket behind the front light. The finned one would look like this:- Have a good look through the Yamaha tec. and you will find all the info you need on here. Cheers Gav. |
