:omg:
This is exactly what I have been thinking of lately, to maybe put TT600 suspension on my 3AJ (when I have it done some year....)
:shades:
SO can you tell me closer what year TT600 fork did you use? ANd shock, just a bolt on mod? :book:

:goodjob:

That's complete front and rear suspension from TT600S (I don't know from what year, I think 94-97).

Also I bought front suspension from YZF426 and I'm going tomount it to my 43F.
There is simple conversion for XT600 15mm axle, but there will be more work to do with caliper and install it to XT600 frame head.
Work in progress.. :-)

Hi
I must ask, what is the benefit of using a TT600s suspension? (i understand it is the rear shock?)
I am thinking what to do about my standard 3AJ rear shock - to put a hyperpro spring on it.

But is the TT600s lower than stock - better springrate?

Just replacing the rear spring with a heavier one will over power your standard shock dampening unless it has adjustments. I made the mistake on my XT600, certainly holds the load but is like riding a pogo stick, not enough dampening. It has pitched me off a couple of times on rough Colorado mountain roads. I am looking at other options, like a complete Wilbers shock made to my bike and my weight. Has both compression and rebound dampening. :star: :star:

Hi!

I have a 3AJ and would like to add a TT600R front fork I found lying around...

I have a lot of different bearing size issues...

Did you have any of those in your fit?

Hello guys!
The TTR front implant to the 3AJ is done.
By the fellow tenere rider's suggestion (mazi) from tis forum we did a custom axle.
The original 3AJ bearings are used, swapping back the original front forks is easy.
The Brembo brake is really good!
I will try to attach some pictures.

It is OK to buy a new front tire! :lol:
"Don't worry," he said, "things could be worse ........."
So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!
