- The Yamaha TT600 was considered a fantastic bike back at its launch in 1983. The question is however, can the Yamaha TT600 make a good weekend adv bike today, especially when being rebuilt on a budget

This is going to be good...........👌
Fingers crossed, eh 😎. Thanks man 👍🏻
Excellent! Look forward to seeing more of this, Marc!
Thanks! I'm really excited for it 😬👍🏻
Great diversification for the channel. Looking forward to the rebuild.
Thank you 😎, can't wait to see if it starts 🤞🏻
Good luck with your project, I will watch with interest as I don’t have the time or ability/patience to undertake my own. Good luck.
Thanks! I might have the time and patience, but I might also lack the ability 😅. We shall see. Cheers 👊🏻😎
Love it, looking forward to this series!
Wicked 😎, can't wait to get stuck into it to be honest 👍🏻
Looking forward to this, Marc...hoping it'll kickstart😉 my thumper project currently languishing at the back of my garage🙄
Ah man, it's gonna be a nerve wracking day. Hopefully I'll not have to wait too long to see 😎
@@lightweightadv I reckon getting that twin carb set up correctly will be the biggest challenge, thankfully my XR has a single carb.
I suspect you're going to be right mate
Proper excited. :)
Haha, you and me both!
Awesome
Haha, I hope so!
This is a great idea :)
Ha, I hope so. Really excited to get this thing running
Great change of direction for the channel. I bought an old kick start WR, with idea of doing the same, but limited spare spare part availibility, my lack of knowledge and expensive parts made it a non-starter - LITERALLY! However, best of luck with your project and I will watch it with interest and still stays with lightweight adventure theme.
I really hope this doesn't go the same way! Parts are sparse, but I'm also hoping I won't need too much 👌🏻
Great bike had one in the early 90s lovely engine loads of torque . Best luck with rebuild, very interesting project..
Thanks Andy, can't wait to see it roadworthy one day 😎
Yeessssss. Love it. Following this one 😎
Ah man, now I need to do it proud. Pressure!
We are well overdue an update on this!
Awesome Bikes, well worth the time and effort ! Would love to see you tackle a TT500 also.
Hey Sam, maybe one day! The work on the TT is enough for me at the moment though 😅
Looking forward to this resto mod 😉
Me too 🙋🏻♂️
David lambeth is a xt/tt/tenere guru and host of spares and upgrades
I have an 83 TT600K that's I've been bringing back to life UFO rear side panels,Clarke tank in black, fork boots, a headlight out of Italy, timing chain, XT stator, rotor(12V upgrade for us in the states)cdi, coil, Vreg, chain, sprockets, brake shoes, wheel bearings, headstock bearings, wiesco rings, Vinton vavle seals, valve guides, valve grind, and she runs like a top
Ah man, she sounds like a beaut! I'm not sure mine will be to that standard any time soon, but I'll get there 😎
@@lightweightadv if I can help....Is there a way to contact non publicly??
Ah, that would be ace. Thank you. Lightweightadv@gmail.com 👍🏻
@@lightweightadv email sent my friend
Now this will be my kind of video series! I’ll be watching each week with interest. Your efforts will sit nicely alongside Michael Waller (Britannia Motorcycles) trials bike build videos. I’m trying to get a (very small) bike for my own build. Will we see the renewed machine at the next LWA Rally in 2023? Les
Hi Les, I hope it lives up to expectations now 😅. Time and energy will no doubt be big players in this rebuild, but so will sourcing hard to find spares. The expectation is it will be at LWA Fest 2023 😎
Love a project. Good time for it too with the days getting darker and colder. Have you got a good blow torch for heating stuck bolts etc? An impact screwdriver saved the bolts on my DRZ carb too.
Hey Adam, yeah, I have all of the tools. Knowledge might be limited, but I have tools 👌🏻. Need to pick up a workshop manual soon though, that might prove useful.
I had a ttr600e, by far the best bike I've ever owned. Only got rid due to attempted theft and storage issues. Now replaced by a crf250l, as close as you can get in every respect, its just lacking a few horses.
This is really good to hear! It's a bit of a long way off me trying it out, but man, I'm so excited to get it on the trails 😎
Good luck for the project, very curious to see how it turns out.
Thanks man, can't wait to see it myself!
This is going to be interesting, looking into buying one of fb marketplace that needs work, curious if itll be a doable project for me
The Acerbis tank you spoke of is a couple of hundred quid but given what you are trying to achieve it's probably where the money would be best spent and it adds capacity and safety of that old knacker.
Hey, yeah, you're most likely right, but not straight away. If the motor runs snd doesn't need extensive work, then I'll catch the new tank when I go through the rest of the bike. At the moment, I just need to hold fuel to see if its all worth it 👍🏻
Have you managed to progress your TT600project?
Would love to hear more about this
I want an overview of the Rover I saw in the first garage footage!!!!
Haha, thats coming mate! She's not running at the moment, a small gearbox issue, but will film a vid soon 😎
How are you coming along with the TT600?
What came of this project, am I missing videos?
Hey Troy, I refurbished the carbs got the motor running. It's now stripped down to its frame. I need to get back out and rebuild it, but it's all time I don't have at the moment 🤦🏻♂️. I'll get there 😅
I did email you. If you need anything let me know. Happy to see another one back in action.
Ah man, I didn't see it! Thanks for the heads up, I'll go hunt out the email now 👍🏻
Even today this bike will do as much as any brand new water cooled or air cooled single cylinder bikes today that ole thumper will walk strait up a brick wall 🧱 😂per say lol but they literally will climb the steepest of step hills /mountain and rugged terrain they are pretty much bullet proof bikes as long as you keep good clean oil in then regularly she will last another 40 years like she has come from so far that in its self shows you they were very reliable bikes and almost to much power 😂or let's just say more than enough power for pavement or off road or desert 🏜 riding but if one goes to such an exstream he may want a big desert gas tank yes they 😂lol are ugly looking gas tanks but you would be great fool to have one in the case of supper long distance as I say my 1989 xt 600 is a massive game changer when it comes to big bore thumper bikes I have a super trap exsust I love it my bike has 3,800 miles lol not even broke in yet 😂but yes when I let off the throttle you can just hear that compression back pressure thru the exsust pipe massive torque and down shifting from the highest gear down to 4th gear just one gear down the bike slow way down because of massive compression I will keep my bike for ever as long as I'm alive I'm 59 years old so my bike motor and transmission should last other 45 years well boys happy riding stay safe and always keep your eyes 👀 peeled when riding for your safety
