Yamaha XT 600 1992 - Motorcycle specifications, reviews

presentation of the XT 600 1992

the origins of the XT go back to the dawn of time. It is estimated to have appeared long after Jesus Christ. evolving with the moods and changes of the times, it has retained what has made it so successful: simplicity and ease. The 600 isn't the most powerful in its class, but it's alert and lively... 4-valve, air-cooled, tried and tested techniques make the XT's engine a puncture-proof single. A trail bike at heart, this Yam best-seller doesn't hesitate to take to the trails. It's not an enduro machine, but it's the queen of Corsican roads. However, it will spend most of its time in town. Its user-friendliness makes it very appealing. Electric starter, easy access to the seat, excellent handling and agility, flexible engine and accommodating gearbox... The XT has everything to please, except for 2 main false notes. The braking, which isn't very convincing, and the protection, which is rather symbolic. With the exception of these hiccups, this gromono is on the whole convincing. Anyone looking for an economical, playful and easy-to-ride machine will easily opt for it. In this segment, the Honda 650 FX is trying to cut down on the competition. No easy task, since the XT is more than just a motorcycle: it's a spirit, a lineage both popular and honored since the 500, which was in........

JPO Model 1996

Great bike for getting back into the swing of things on Corsican back roads. I rode a DJEBEL 650 in Corsica for a long time. Also a great bike, but less supple than the XTE 600. The XTE 600 is a robust, simple and efficient bike, a real bike. To be ridden without moderation. 04/15/2024 23:40 Rating : 5/5 Respond to JPO

terehau Model 2003

i bought my XTE 600 in 2003, the last year it was manufactured. what a pleasure to ride on the small roads of the south of france, maneuverability, lightness, sobriety. i sometimes make the two-day trip between marseille and bourges on the secondary roads. happiness diges you! unfortunately, after 25,000 kms, i had an electrical breakdown.no contact? battery checked, charged, starter relay and fuse changed, neiman contact checked, electrical circuits tested, nothing! is there a hidden fuse? as they say, i'm at a loss. does anyone have a solution before going to the dealership? it seems that the electrical circuit was a weakness on this model. best regards to all. 12/20/2023 12:37 Rating : 4/5 Respond to terehau

Marcello bikou Model 2003

I had a brand new xtk from '91, the blue and yellow one (I was an xt500 fan) they didn't make them anymore, so out of nostalgia I took the k ...
Great bike, but when you start out, well, it doesn't go too far ..
And then life went by and so did the bikes (about thirty of them)
5 years ago, I bought a 2000 e...very good but quite tired
So I traded it in for a gs 650 (the other very good trail bike)
And then in early 2022, I was looking for a nickel xt500 and there 9000 roros!
And not so nickel as that and there I see an xte of 1995 with 1300 bornes...
After thinking about it, go my boy!
Frankly, it's perfect for an old man, and when all's said and done, you can't get more than 4,000 revs out of it. This bike is a cruise trail (rarely does it feel like a serinity with other bikes)
In the Landes, it's the perfect bike, smooth and torquey
And of course, at home in the 06 in the summer, it's the best!
So yes, it's not a gs 12, damn it guys, it cost 4500 eur max back then and that was enough ... monos were my 1st passion and well rebelotes

kawaboy45 Model 1998

A puncture-proof motorcycle, economical in terms of maintenance and worn parts, a little less so in terms of fuel, but you soon forget this shortcoming as it's always operational, very pleasant for touring and commuting. After a few years without a bike, perfect for a trade-in. 08/02/2016 00:08 Rating : 4/5 Respond to kawaboy45

Titan Model 1992

Top! I've always had xt's and nothing to say... 43 horsepower at the wheel and demented torque... For those looking for "big" braking, a 1300 fjr (320mm) disc and a little offset bracket, and let's go to the music! 08/26/2012 21:05 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Titan

steph138 Model 1992

Excellent value for money. Keep an eye out when buying second-hand: its goodwill often makes it a machine you only have to worry about when it finally breaks down. Yes, it does happen.

Ideal for beginners, those returning to motorcycling after a period of absence, and those who just want to go for a ride.
For long trips, it's possible if you're not a fan of comfort and speed. Just let the single-cylinder "suck up" the road at its own pace.

Used parts are easy to find, and new ones are still in the Yamaha catalogs.

Nice mechanics, reliable, great looks. A real motorcycle, with all the simplicity that makes riding a pleasure.

Nico's Model 1992

Having cut my teeth on a 125sr, the 600xt was my first large-displacement bike. Bought from a real biker in his 70s (my God), this XT had been prepared for use as a back-up vehicle during the Raid de l'amitié, but replaced at the last minute. It had only 5600km on the clock and dated from 1991. After 10 years of loyal service, it now boasts well over 100,000 km. I've only had to deal with a clogged carburettor filter on two occasions. the distri' has never been changed (some garages even find that the chain doesn't make too much noise!). Today, it sleeps in my garage; the rear brakes are out, the shock absorber too, and the engine frankly needs a fresh coat of paint to regain some health... With a little patience and money, it'll be back on the road one of these days..
My opinion of this bike. Well, I think it's a great bike! It doesn't cost much to maintain, you can fix almost everything yourself, and it's got very low fuel consumption (400km on a 23-liter Acerbis tank). The tires last a long time (Michelin Sirac, the best!). It holds the road well, it's quite comfortable and quite long-lasting... I've often ridden it for kilometers loaded like a mule without any problem. The engine's torque is very nice, and performance is right in the middle of the range
on the downside, there's not much to complain about. Braking is average. The lighting is a bit limited (but still okay!). Protection is non-existent..
In the end, my XT never let me down. It's been with me in all weathers without flinching. I highly recommend this bike. It's simple, efficient and good for everything. If you're looking for a bargain, don't hesitate for a minute! 04/08/2010 00:59 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nico's

goose Model 1992

I live in Africa and I can assure you that this bike is "THE" machine for all types of trails and tracks. It's not afraid of laterite or sand. Easy and efficient mechanics. It's a pity that so many other manufacturers have abandoned this type of machine. 11/01/2009 14:49 Rating : 5/5 Respond to goose

bof Model 1992

Frankly, I don't really think so. I own a 600 XTE equipped as a supermotard, from '96 with just over 50,000km. Only a few months ago, a "complete(?)" 50000km overhaul cost me 700eur at Yamaha. Now, for a few weeks, I'm constantly on 2 batteries, one that I recharge at home and the other in the bike. It's a bike that doesn't start, that takes 5 years to wear out and age after a few months. In short; very disappointed, I had a 1989 BMW K75 that was as solid as a rock and that started like clockwork with over 90,000 km before I was unintentionally destroyed (a dirty cement truck), since I have to move every day, I was eager to find another used bike and so I took this m.... this is the 1st and last time I'll be looking at YAm. 10/25/2007 13:04 Rating : 5/5 Respond to bof

55,000 kms, including a 22,000 km tour of Europe in 3 months, indestructible

i'm still looking for what's wrong with it for a bike in this category..

leplaisirs Model 1992

I had a sports bike, then a big road bike. Today I'm back on a 600XT, which is the bike I took my driving test on
It's not very young (1990), lacks a bit of power for overtaking, and the fuel tank is a bit short (about 110km), but it's very practical for going to work and around town for short trips (100km), and costs next to nothing for maintenance and insurance. I've already had a few breakdowns with it, but as it's not packed with electronics, it's very easy to repair.
I've kept it in its original configuration, which is very practical, with a big wheel at the front for overcoming obstacles
In short, a good bike
