DAS Forum für Yamaha XT600 und XT600Z

Hello,

I am Simon from Essex in the UK. I take delivery of a XT600 2KF 1989 today. The bike is a little tired and it is my intention to do a comprehensive restoration. I hope that the members here can help me solve some problems and help with my lack of knowledge. I have had bikes since I was a teenager (1980s) so that gives you a little clue to my age...eeek
Looking forward to the restoration journey and touring Europe as soon as I can.
Regards Simon

P.S.
Sorry for typing in English! Would it be better and polite to translate my posts?

Welcome Simon! Nice 2KF.

Post in your native language rather than a poorly translated post.
Maybe put a german translation below.
However, it's possible that you'll receive answers in german.

There are many good translation tools avaiable, e.g. deepl.com

Ich finde es ok, englische posts auf deutsch zu beantworten.
Unter die Antwort könnte man netterweise eine englische Übersetzung hängen.
deepl.com hilft da sehr.

Hello Simon,

welcome to the forum and have much fun and input with your XT and the restauration. But does it need? Seems to be complete and useful first of all.
