TT600RE Questions

Considering a new one of these and have a few questions:

1. Does the Acerbis tank for TT600R fit?
2. Do they have a cush drive rear wheel?
3. Any decent aftermarket pipes available?
4. Any off-the-shelf comfortable seats available?
5. Any known glitches or 'must-do' mods?

Thanks in Advance,

Ian.

1. yes it will
2. yes
3. leo vince has several available including a straight through race can VERY LOUD !
4. the stock seat isnt half bad once you get used to it
5. glitch.. 5th gear cogs are prone to failure if you lug it, keep your revs up! i rarely use 5th gear unless i am on a motorway
must do mods: snorklectomy,bigger main jet (mine is #158) raising the jet needle is recomended by some to cure low throttle stumble.
i have had mine about a year now and i am very pleased with it. Very good off road, and much better on road than my previous XT600E
