TT600RE the same engine as XT600?

Hi all

Currently re-building a 2004 TT600RE and was wondering if the XT shares the same engine when it comes to gaskets ?

Is there anything else in common ? because it seems theres a lot more consumables available for the XT than the TT

Cheers
Geordie aka Will

Yes, I’m not an expert, but it is my understanding that the TT600RE has the exact same engine as 1990-1995 XT600.

Most things are different (except for the engine), I had to get lots of parts from Yamaha but wemoto has some bits. You can use the clutch cable from 1990-1995 XT600 with small modifications.

Hi again Will

The only difference I know of is the RH carb and inlet rubber are both larger diameter.

If you are not sure, compare the part numbers here Yamaha TT600RE Service Manual

Hows the preparation coming on?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
