Hey tossers, Was rambling around ukgser on my day off and found this forum - never knew it was there!
I bought an XL600 bout 2 years ago as a winter hack, got it for a very reasonable 480quid, taxed and tested, running ok but a bit rattly in the top end, did an oil change and topped up to the correct level, now it runs much more quietly.
Changed other bits and bobs to keep it moving and stopping proper.
Now the question:- the bike was imported from Italy around 2002, established as a 1985 bike by 'classic services' Manchester and as such given a 'B' reg by dvla.
Problem is I don't know which derivative the bike is, the guy I bought it off had it as an LM but I'd like some confirmation from someone who knows these bikes.
I have other questions about starter motor among others (I have to kick start it, not a problem but would love it to be fixed) that Question along with others can be addressed later.
I know a picture is best but I'll have to wait a day or two for that.
The bike has a single rectangle shaped headlight with a small cowl fairing, has electric and kick starter, disc front and drum rear brake. Natural colour alloy wheel rims with spokes on a circular web so the tyres are I think tubeless.
Any ideas guys and gals. Thanks in anticipation
