Enduro long-term project becomes Supermoto

With the word “actually” many renovation projects begin. Mainly widespread: “Actually, I didn’t want to do that much.” Or, as in this case: “Actually, everything was planned differently.”

Actually, everything was planned differently

86 Gears in Warsaw was supposed to be one Yamaha XT 600 from the year 2000 from the standard dailydriver, using parts of a TT 600 S, turn it into an off-road sling. The TT bought for this is in such good condition that the project is simply turned 180 degrees: the XT is to become a supermoto.

Actually, an enduro should be built. But then it turned out to be a supermoto.

To do this, 86 gears adapt the frame and shorten it here and there to mount the cult tank of an XT 500. The Bratstyle bench towards the rear and a new cockpit towards the front are then adapted to the new tank shape. A Motocscope from Motogadget now serves as a multi-instrument.

Enduro becomes a supermoto

Supermoto and the enduro rims don’t go together for so many reasons. New 17th”-The specialists at SMPro from England supply rims. Mounted on it: a larger brake disc at the front and a set of Dunlop Mutant in 120/70 at the front and 150/60 at the rear. A YSS damper now works in the rear, while the fork is more progressively tuned with Wirth springs. The colleagues produce a suitable adapter to mount the larger brake disc and the original brake caliper.

Stew with seasoning

86 Gears season the blissful stew with 595 cubic tons. The camshaft of the TT, a higher compression piston, polished channels in the cylinder head, polished connecting rods and TM34 double carburetors with open filters help the stew on the jumps. The self-made exhaust system should also bring horses.
