Thumbs up

Neil kindly made a bunch of them available from the XT600 Parts Manuals (1990 - 2002) thread at URL = http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...0-2002-a-48399. There's copies there for 4PT (model-number) models from 1995, 1999, 2000 and 2002. I downloaded the 2002 one for myself some time ago, which does have "4PT" on its front page - which is how I knew mine was a 4PT (model number) - so I'd guess the others do too. It also has the aforementioned 4SL7 there. And yes - my 4PT does have a "DJ021..." frame-number. It also has "4PTB" on its model label affixed to the frame under the seat. 4PT does not seem to be any kind of engine number, though - it is the model number. The engine number on mine does not have a "4PT" prefix (according to the logbook), but I might have got the wrong idea there about what you were suggesting. Engine and other parts numbers/references will often have a "4PT" prefix, though - or "3TB" or presumably other non-XT model codes - if they were introduced for that model and used in the overall development of the bike.

I think the 4PT was 'officially' imported to South Africa and a lot of Western Europe.

Hope that helps.

This doesn't:-
"You pointed out first that the list has an error.So show us why.Simple as that.And don´t play with words,things i didn´t write."

Well, we can trace most of those qualms back to me querying the lack of an entry for the 4PT model within the Model Codes list (which is clearly what had confused Neil, by the way) and asking whatever a DJ021 model was. After being a tad rude, you pointed out that these were frame codes not engine codes (nor model numbers?) and that I had got the codes mixed up. Well, it seems - and I say again - that it was you who mixed up codes: DJ021 is the frame-code prefix for the 4PT -model-, isn't it? Having said that, it seems I did misconstrue the whole list to be actual model codes - and I think they mostly are, it's just that the only one that I could be completely certain about (that of my own bike) had a code listed for it that is not its model code.

As for 'playing with words, things you didn´t write ', I don't understand that one and you may need to check what you actually did write.

In the interests of world peace an' all that, I hope the info' at the top of this was useful to you and I sincerely apologise for any offence, but would qualify that...:-
- the original point was in answer to Neil's apparent confusion in relation to the list that he had sourced from the Tenere site;
- I hadn't expected to directly answer to the original compiler of the data in question, on this site (lesson learned! );
- there was a certain nonsense in being told that they were frame-codes, not model-codes as listed, and that I was wrong in questioning that they didn't all seem correct as model codes.

Anyway, I trust the above info' is useful to you (and maybe to Neil, in identifying his later bike), and that we can all be friends again.

Bring me an parts catalogue from your dealer where that 1996 XT 600E is printed as 4PT on the first page then i change it on that list,have no problem in update it.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
