Hello!
I am a proud owner of 2 bikes, XT600-2KF from 1989, and 1990, with total rebuilt engines. My bikes should have about 45hp and with a slipon silencer(as i have on the first bike) there should be about 2-3hp more, i hope. Secondary reduction ratio (Chain drive): 39/15 = 2.600 (2KF).
My eldest bike lifts the front wheel rather easily when I drop the clutch after shifted from 1st gear to 2nd gear. IF Im sitting as straight as possible and rev it rather high in 1st. My wheight is about 75kg. The bike is about 150kg. It does the same after im shifting down from 3rd gear to 2nd again, when I give full throttle and drop the clutch after a little practice! When thinking of the engines lengt of life this last manoeuvre maybe isnt just the best thing to do..
But there isnt enough power to lift when its shifted from 2nd to 3rd gear.
/ Henrik
