blazer you got your p.m. turned off i cant send it out

but anyways  i was reading up about the electrical on my clymers manual and talked to a electrician here at work tonight and aparently the tt600 has a 6v dc magneto with a voltage regulator. The xt600 has a ac alternator 12v system with the rectifier/ regulater after the alternator with the lighting system in parallel with the battery. So it seems that for what i need to do Ill have to buy a alternator rotor and windings (12v from the xt600) as well as a rectifier regulator that you showed me and battery. Ill also have to remove the dc regulator as it will carry an under voltage with two of them.

The only issue (I hope) i have now is that will the CDI and ignition coil work with this new 12V ac system? Opposed to the old tt600 dc 6V?

As for the voltage testing I will do that, Ill also check how many wires there are.

Thanks for the help!

This is an excellent thread.


I'm restoring my 1984 TT600 and would like to ask for a few recommendations...

• Has anyone found a satin paint or coating that makes the cases, head and cylinder look good?  Something that sticks?
  
• Carb Parts - My bike's YDIS is in bad shape from an elastomeric point of view.  I bought another carb set-up off ebay but it is in even worse shape.
  
• Stock Shock rebuild -- MX-Tech is one place I've found.  Any others?
  
• Brake pads for the double-leading show front brake?

I have a 20" reverse cone megaphone exhaust as well as the SuperTrapp and stocker.  The White Brother's head pipe is also there.

I really like this bike even though a modern four-stroke 250 would run circles around it!  Thanks for the great post!

P.S. - Does anyone have a proven single-carb mod for this bike?  Maybe a 41 Mikuni pumper?

If anyone needs some TT600 parts I have two sets of wheels with axles and brakes, two seats may need recovered (stiff), oil tank, XT passenger pegs I never got around to installing, carbs, new cam chain and some other stuff..

I do not want to scrap this stuff if you can use it PAY SHIPPING ONLY...

This is not a for sale add......

Will you do shipping to 14485? ED

Thats one sweet looking bike Warrlac..Check with TheSkyboy for a carb fix (this thread) he had an isue and figured it out..As far as paint..it's aluminum, so and epoxy based paint and primer will stick..clean the metal really well..

GrayRider..I sent you a P.M.

I don't know how this will apply to your bikes, but you might not have to swap the magneto:

Found it searching for answers for a similar issue on a different bike. Hope it helps. If the Wayne fellow in that thread is still active here, he might have all the answers you need.

Some really cool builds here! Hope my bike comes out half as nice.

You know, I always hated the gas tank design/style on the TT600, I wonder if one of the HL style YZ125 tanks would fit with some work on the seat?  Anybody ever tried one?

cubo - I forgot to give you my Jetting numbers (I think it was you that I promised them too ).

Primary Carb - Main 135, Pilot 48
Secondary - Main 90

Alright, back from vacation, now its time to get this puppy on the road.

On the list is:
Shinko 244's or Kenda 270s front and back
Vapor Trail tech computer
520 master link
Front drive sprocket (15T)
Front brake pads
Clutch cable
Licensing/Insurance/Reg

I'm going to be poor

[quote name=' I'm going to be poor [/QUOTE']

I feel your pain..If I had money, I'd have four running bikes insead of two..

Did you look at those Shinko 700's? (tires) They have good reveiws..

I have been flopping back and fourth between the 244s & 700s.
I will likely be doing some commuting on the bike in the short term so thats why I was looking at the 244.

Once I'm not poor I will get a set of bearings for my other rear, another sprocket and then mount a "Road" tire like a trailwing.

What do you need?



Blazer I received your PM but could not reply, it says you cannot receive PM's.

timbucket's is the postal strike over up there? my wife makes aprons and shipped one to canada (don't remember where) cust did not receive it.

I ran some irc 110's on my dr650 and really liked them, but $$$. we put some chang shin (golden boy's) on my buddy's husky,they look like k-270's and both were about $77 shipped.

Yeah the government told them all to go back to work. $32/hr, 7 wks vacation and they are complaining.

I figure I will invest in some better tires once I know I like the bike...I still have only ridden it around the block a few times.

I found out that the front end of the bike is from a 84 CR500 so I can finally get my brake pads.  :ride:Soon

TheGrayRider said:

I'll shoot you my email.. Thanks Gray..

The CR front ends fit? How cool is that? Sounds like a great winter time project for the TT in my life..My bike has been on the back burner while I get the girlfriend DR up and going..Anybody been riding?

Good read.

Hey guys,

I found this today and I think I may try it on the my tank when I get a chance:
Tank Dye 1

Tank Dye 2

Hey gang, had to take a hiatus for a while and get my head cleared. I was spending WAY too much time on my bike. However, in the last work I did, I was forced to replace the intake manifolds (plasti-dip broke down quickly under the heat) and I reupholstered the seat using some "gripper" stuff I got on eBay. Problem is, though I seem to have the rev of the bike smoother than I had it before, I still don't think it's as seamless as it should be. So I'm still trying to get the sync squared away.

Any ideas?

Hi all..Rode the TT today for the first "real" ride..She did great..ran strong and no "burp" when the secondary opened up..only thing, it got a little warm..warm enough that when I went back to the jeep, water I dumped over my head dripped onto the oil tank and it sizzled! That's a little warm, right? I've never owned a bike that wasn't water cooled until this one. So what's the deal? A new set of jets? Still need to pull carb off and see what ones are in there.  Got that oil out of the engine too.


Shyboy..you're up higher than I am..ever checked your ignition timing? A small advance, I bet might help..just a thought.

I thunk the heat is just a byproduct of being old school. Not much can be done short of not riding it... Though heavier old may help a bit I think. As for my timing, unless I'm missing something, I don't see how the timing can be adjusted short of a new custOm CDI. I know the problem is in the carb adjustment, I am just getting sick of adjusting without feeling like I'm on the right track or something.
