Hi,
Thanks for ur comment
I found a nice but used loom from a portuguese Xt, so virtually no rust. New loom were quoted 400 euros form Yamaha, this one was 50 euros.
As for SS steel an aluminium i remember vaguely from my youth learning about metal imcompatibilty..and corrosion. But the cylinder alyminium sleeve nut were so corroded they disolved as i was trying to remove. I ended up cutting off the original cylinder with a grinder...
The sleeve nuts i sourced were recommended by KEDO and i thought this would be a good investment in the long run...
Some part were from Germany other from France. I recommend one to visit " leboncoin.fr:. The french loved the Xt back in the 90 s...a lot were in Paris commuter and courrier bike...
So Im now off to France myself, need to break in the engine...then Spain Portugal and maybe Morocco...keep posted..
