1984 Yamaha XT600 review from Canada
"It's a road warrior bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Stolen many years back - ran hard by thieves. Got it back - never started easily again. Hard starter now - used to start 2-3 kicks in the middle of winter. No other problems.
General comments?
Otherwise great bike - tough as nails - lots of balls.
Fun to ride, but the seating position is not optimal for a tall guy.
