supermono rgv project: The Heart Donor
http://supermono-rgv.blogspot.com/2007/10/heart-donor.html
Friday, October 12, 2007. So our engine is going to be 4-stroke, in this case a 86 model XT600 tenere. this is an air cooled 598cc, SOHC, 4 valve, single cylinder thumper. I bought the bike in pieces for $500. There is some wear around the cam journal closest to the cam sprocket. The engine has done a lot of Km's and hopefully will do a lot more yet before it becomes an issue. I should note we are on a extremaly tight buget (mostly weekend beer money!

supermono rgv project: Finding a bike...
http://supermono-rgv.blogspot.com/2006/07/finding-bike.html
Wednesday, July 05, 2006. So the first step was to find some info and see if this really was the conversion for me. but I skipped that part. So off to ebay to find a bike. If your wondering why i went straight to ebay it's cause there's a general lack of RGV's in the state in which I live, and those that are here are very, very over priced. 275 km's, a bog stop and a slash in front of a servo later we made it to the dock, only to be informed they have a lot of frieght today and there was an unloading del...

supermono rgv project: October 2007

Friday, October 12, 2007. After a year long delay I'm happy to say the project is back on track. Earlier in the year I bought a head and barrel off a later model TT 600. The other head had just about had it and this addresses the head gasket issue older XT's seem to be prone to. With the engine in pieces and ideas of dressing it up a bit I thought it a good idea to fix it before it broke. The bike shops down here are a total joke. After over a month I was still waiting to order. Aren't you a bike shop?
