XT600E caliper won't fit
Hi,
I have a 1990 3AJ tenere and my girlfriend has a 1991 XT600E. I have considered improving my brake too, but comparison of the front brake mounting points on the front forks are spaced differently.
You could probably easily get a an adaptor bracket made to allow the 600E twin piston caliper to be fitted, but if I go to that trouble I will look into fitting somethig different again, as I don't think the 600E caliper has aged well. Even at moderate milage it had enough free play on the slider pins to cause a lot of lever movement before the brake starts to come on, and these parts are not available seperatly. Also at very low speeds it makes a strange clunking / rattling noise despite changing the anti-rattle springs. It is noticably more powerful though!
