Hello I am Mauro and I am from Naples. An excellent job just for people who love this bike the 2KF. I've got two and a TW200. they are spectacular and unique bike. Congratulations for this work of art. Very good.
Nice bike. I own a Yamaha XT600E 2001 and in my part of the UK i have only ever seen one other XT600 in 13 years of ownership. I recently took mine apart to paint the frame and install another used swingarm which i painted as old swingarm was badly rusted. In the process of trying to remove the engine i managed to break an exhaust stud, which i tried to take out with easy-outs and they broke too and drilling the stud made a mess. So i found a good used cylinder head on ebay in Italy which i ordered and fitted to replace the one with the broken exhaust stud mess which i had created. Engine seems to run fine and have only took it out once for a ride so far as weather has been rubbish and don't really want to get it mucky after spending time renovating it, haha. I love old thumpers, although i do also own a Suzuki SV650 2001 which i converted to naked version recently, gotta love the sound of a v-twin too.
Man that's a beautiful bike. I'm hopeing to get my 89 running as we speak. I'll toss a video up if I'm successful but I have a feeling the carbs need to be ran through by a professional, not me. I like those tires too, did u purchase locally or online?
Panos Smyrnios thanks for watching mate, the tyres are AVON RoadRiders and there on the stock rims. I wanted the bike to be original but I don't really go off road on it anymore so just wanted a comfy/quieter ride.
I have the same bike were can i buy the gas tank and seat i have been having a hard time locating any parts for this bike love what u did with the bike
Hi you want to look at eBay but not your countries eBay. So like for Germany goto eBay.de and search there. I found my tank in South Africa Vis gumtree. I also have a spare tank but it is in bad shape.
Hi, I recently got the same bike. It has been sitting outside in spain for the last 6 years with a full tank of petrol. I'm trying to repair it myself and I wondered if I could have your email to ask you a few questions. Thanks
Oooh that's perrrty, but I'm glad to hear yours Rattling...I thought mine was about to throw a Tappet out the cover. Obviously that much rattle is normal yeah? Nice Resto too btw! TFS & RSOT >:) (RideSafeOutThere)
Eventually I have to prep my engine for a 3500klm Charity ride. Tappets are on the list, keep n eye out for if it helps. Hopefully it's not the cam or drive chain slapping about...?
MrFalloffalot CrashTestDummy TV the reason the engine sounds tappy a side from my phones mic, is mainly due to the tolerance preset into the valves, once warmed up its pretty smooth for a thumper. another sound they are well known for is piston slap, glad to say I dont have that. Thanks for watching.
New-Retro Motorcycles that looks better than show room mate I'm a little envious my friend and I done resto on xl 600r from bottom up but I think you got us beat hands down
What is the knocking sound a rod I don't know something bis wrong they tell me there is a nut and a key way that gets lose and sounds like just that I can here on yours so I hope it's not a rod for these bikes are pretty much bullet proof

Wonderful machine in a outstanding good condition. My respect!!!

supra shirt and an XT this guy
Best bike ever XT800 motar love it
very good looking, i wonder if it still looks the same after all thouse years
Yep, still looking as good. Had to repaint the engine covers last year, after a tour up to Scotland.
Awesome build. I have an 1987 2kf that I would love to put some supermoto tires on. What tires are they, and are those the stock wheels?
Panos Smyrnios thanks for watching mate, the tyres are AVON RoadRiders and there on the stock rims. I wanted the bike to be original but I don't really go off road on it anymore so just wanted a comfy/quieter ride.
Pięknie zrobiona 😉😉
What handlebars are on that? I want something nicer to replace my stock ones but I also want them to be comfortable also.
They are Renthal bars !
So nice motorycle and you put AVON tyre on it. :-(
I have the same bike were can i buy the gas tank and seat i have been having a hard time locating any parts for this bike love what u did with the bike
Hi you want to look at eBay but not your countries eBay. So like for Germany goto eBay.de and search there. I found my tank in South Africa Vis gumtree. I also have a spare tank but it is in bad shape.
What size of tyres?
Greetings from Spain!!
Where can you find some replacement plastics for the bike?
Good luck
👍
i want a bike like that but im only 5'8"
dope bike man how did you convert your rear brakes?
grandk189 thanks pal, the 2kf came with a disc as standard, you might be thinking of the earlier 43f model.
i have and 85 with drum been doing some research for the convert

Freddzie sure you can message me through Google+, there's a link on the 'about' section of the channel.
What size are those tires you have on there?
Xt600 drive
Do you also sell your bikes?
Josef A. Hi mate, yes I have sold them in the past, the XT was my own personal project though, and I'll probably take it to the grave with me 😂
Honda colors, Yamaha competition color is blue. It's interesting to have something different, not many Yamaha's in red and white color
Starting these from cold is not the problem, it's easy ! the problem is starting the bastards once they are hot.
Yea, either it starts istantly or you get the dreded phfff..! And it floods. A new cdi made mine much better
How the hell did anyone start it to steal it. I have a 43F and it’s a cow! Lovely job, by-the-way, well done
Stupenda!!!
It looks as if it stayed frozen in time until now. I wish I had your skills.
Oooh that's perrrty, but I'm glad to hear yours Rattling...I thought mine was about to throw a Tappet out the cover.
Obviously that much rattle is normal yeah?
Nice Resto too btw!
TFS & RSOT >:)

I was thinking the exact same thing! I've been convinced there was something wrong with my '86 for years!
Eventually I have to prep my engine for a 3500klm Charity ride.
Tappets are on the list, keep n eye out for if it helps.

Got mine rebuild a few years ago (haven't raced/ridden since then(flat-track)), so I'm hoping it'll hold up.
Hopefully its just tappets.

What tires do you mount? I also have this bike and i want to turn it from enduro to motard
They were AVON road riders pal
@@NewRetroMotorcycles thanks a lot , do they work well on the road?
@@NewRetroMotorcycles sensible option if you’re doing more roads than tracks
