kenymact that all looks normal :thumbup1:

those "ripples" in the front down tube are there because the bend required is not big enough for a mandrel pipe bender to smooth the radius surfaces :innocent:

looks like you dont get to go smack the seller :rofl:

OK, I've just been to have a look at mine (1994 3TB) and the dents in the downtube and the ripples below the headstock are identical to the photographs. So you can sleep easy, and the seller can too.

Thanks for sorting my pictures out and it sounds like my bike is fine so no worries:D....all I have to do now is split the cases and change the fifth gear cogs.......:thumbdown:

Just looked at my xt600e, 2 dents just where the inner exhaust nuts are and a slight ripple on the down tube just below the headstock, don't panic.

All good.
 

:palm:The bastards even put dents on my XT600E, in the same place as yours.And I'm in Melbourne, Australia.
All cool, although looking at your photo's she could do with some TLC.

good Luck Baloffski.

Its had a hard life but it s all been road riding and thats why the fifth gear is on its way out.....
