Just bought a xt600k-questions
hello, i just bought my first bike, a 1991 xt600 k. its in ok kondition, but there is some minor issues to attend.
1. The rear brake is not good, there is a new calipper, but it has low effect. 2. The front brake has good effect bus has old brake fluid that i want to replace. 3. i am thinking about replacing the brake pads on both front and rear brakes, whitch brakepads should i buy? the bike is used for commuting mostly in rainy weather. 4. im planning to change the fork oil. is there any pointers or typiccal faults to do that i should know of? is there a "how to cange fork oil" explenation somwere? thanks for all help i have only driven the bike for 4-5 miles, but i think i love it already

Fork oil change:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...shimming-51603 Scroll down a bit, i tried to explayn it a little year ago, nothing has changed, and your bike is the same. The other jobs are fairly simple aswell, I bet people will chime in. If not, and perhaps anyway, I'll give it a shot at explaining it in a few days when the time is better ![]() Now...Lets see the bike. |
