Looking for an Airscoop

**Sparkdaddy** · #1 10 Oct 2006

I'm looking for a 1990 XT600 airscoop for the left side. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Does anyone know if the side vents are still used when a larger tank is fitted? I just picked up a 5 gal Acerbis tank and will be putting it on in the next few weeks. If they are no longer used, I'd probaby be open to letting mine go.

As long I know you can’t fit the airscoops with the bigger Acerbis tank. Is your bike ’90 like Sparkdaddys??? Because not all models are the same….

Yes, it is a 1990, I would guess same as his.

Wow!! For me that is the XT600E and only come here as ’91 or ‘92
If that is yours the Acerbis goes alone…
Hope the Sparkdaddys are the same!!!

Our ’90s are more like this one:

I have a 1990 xt600 with the large Acerbis tank and the air scoops can't be fitted since it extends over the area normally occupied by the scoops.I've only had the bike a short while so I can't for sure say as to the capacity of the tank but it's much larger than stock. From reading the Acerbis website it's probably a 20L tank.

Yep, my tank looks exactly like that, blue and big.

I guess I will be having some air scoops that I have no use for in a couple of weeks.

Damn, I just ordered one from Yamaha but if they don't come in I want them. Unless of course I can find the same big blue tank like yours? Where did you get it and how much can I expect to pay? Model #?

ps. My bike is a 90 and it's identical to the photo of the blue and grey one.

I got my tank from ebay. The gentleman I purchased it from said that he had to have it imported from Italy via Canada and it ran him about $400 to do. I picked it up for $275 from him. I have seen a tank advertised through Touratech USA, for $339, but I don't know if they actually have any in stock or if it'll have to go on the boat and take forever. Here's a link to it: http://www.touratech-usa.com/shop/sh...o?sku=100-1040
I personally like the look of the black one better, but I guess you take what you can get when it comes to accessories for these bikes in the US.

I'll see if I can find a model number on mine when I get home later this evening.

Try asking any Acerbis dealer by the ITEM number on worldwide catalog

http://www.acerbis.it/images/cat/pdf..._fueltanks.pdf Page 6.

All tanks in US catalog don’t exceed the +/-U$ 250.- can’t be +50% or more
