Yamaha TT600R DJ01– a 90s thumer that still dominates every slope
Anyone who dreamed of endurales à la Paris - dakar in the 1990s inevitably stumbled across the Yamaha TT600R (Type DJ01). Presented in 1998 as a homologation model for European desert rallies, it combined robust 80s - DNA of the TT series with more modern components: 43 mm -USD fork, wave disc, aluminum swing and an air -cooled 595 -SOHC single -cylinder, which licks 42PS to just 143 kilogram dry weight. The result was an uncompromising off -road device that also had a legal license plate carrier. Today, the TT600R is considered an insider tip for screwdrivers who are looking for a permanent Adventure - gumper without electronics overkill. With the correct maintenance intervals and spare parts, mileage beyond 8000 kilometers are not uncommon. This text provides well -founded background knowledge, concrete technology facts and practical tips so that your TT600R DJ01 will continue to master every gravel pit and gravel pass in the future.
Historical context: TT tradition and single -cylinder evolution
The TT series ("Trail and Track") started in 1976 with 500cm³, became TT600 (43f) in 1983 and received the water -cooled TT600 S/e -engine (3SW) in 1993. However, Yamaha's European Rally Department called for an easier, air -cooled concept for private drivers. Result: the kick -off end TT600R DJ01 with 5 -speed transmission, frame oil tank and 9 -liter plastic tank. It was built by Belgarda -Yamaha in Italy, which simplified many European homologation regulations. The production period from 1998 to 2003 is short, but the spare parts position remains stable thanks to XT -600 relatives and aftermarket support.

143kg dry, 156kg ready to drive. 9 -liter plastic container (including 3L reserve). Range ≈ 200km at 4.5l/100km.
Maintenance: regular care for endless trails
- ✓ Motor oil 10W - 40 + filter - every 3000 km (off -road → 2000km).
- ✓ Valve game - 6000km (E 0.05 mm/ A 0.12 mm).
- ✓ Oil pump sieve - Clean 12000km.
- ✓ Air filter foam - depending on the dust, otherwise 3000km.
- ✓ Tax chain & tensioner - 20,000 km visual inspection.
- ✓ Fork oil 5W - 15000km or annually at enduro operation.
- ✓ Umlenk & wing camp - Install 10000km fats or PU kit.
Typical weaknesses and their remedies
✓ Kickstarter - scratch - Material fatigue through false start. Exchange against reinforced 4PT gear + spring, correct starting technology (OT + 1 cm).
✓ Intake - Highlights create lean run. New rubber (4pt - 13555-00) + thermal protection film.
✓ Course wave bearing shell - Rare, but critical in the event of a lack of oil. Prevention → Clean oil & pump check every 30000km.
✓ Speedometer - Aluminum housing mills snail. Exchange wheel (JMP steel) + lithium fat.
Tuning potential - more punch, less weight
- ✓ Mikuni TM40 Flatslide - Direct gas train, +3PS, requires main nozzle#150, pilot#25.
- ✓ Full -Titan - exhaust (HP Corse) - 4kg lighter, DB killer with e -test mark; vote again.

- ✓ Öhlins TTX -Shock - High/low -speed printing & train, custom spring rate.
- ✓ Excel -Felgen & Talon -Haben - Save 1.5kg rotating mass.
Electrics and lighting - modern upgrades
The series controller (SH 640) sits unauthorized under the seat. One Shindengen FH020AA MOSFET control Eliminated tension tips and extends the battery life. LED - H4 inserts such as that Acerbi's vision Increase light output by 200% with halved electricity loss - effective, since the DJ01 light machine only delivers approx. 200W.
Brake upgrade: check for gravel and asphalt
The Nissin -two piston saddles are increasing, but coverings from 90s mixtures have long been outdated. EBC MX Sinter or Galfer HH deliver more bite without fading. A 320 mm -oversize disc with relocation adapter improves dosage for supermoto conversions. Steel flex lines (Hel) are mandatory - they were a series, but are often porous after 20 years.
Off - road vs. Supermoto setup
Off -road
90/90-21 & 120/90-18, Metzeler Six Days, fork oil 5W, damper preload +2 mm, handlebar in forward position.

Spare parts supply: OEM -Backbone & Aftermarket fullness
Yamaha's European central warehouse continues to lead crankcase seals, ignition control unit (4PT - 85540-00), piston rings Ø 95 mm (4PT - 11610-00) and coupling deposits. Aftermarket providers such as Wössner (blacksmith pistons), Athena (top - end kits), Allballs (warehouse) and HP Corse (exhaust) secure the rest. In the TT - 600 -forum (tt600r.de) exchange drivers tips, sources of supply and 3D printed small parts such as speedometer holder or side paneling.
Practice: starting procedure and everyday tricks
- ✓ Cold start - Petrol tap on on on, choke full, ot find, Kickstarter gently to resistance, 5cm back, resolutely step through - no gas!
- ✓ Check the oil level - 60sec after the engine stop, do not screw in the measurement rod, level ≈ ½ --ter.
- ✓ Chain maintenance - 35–45mm through slope, strain relieved. Pu - slider extends lifespan.
- ✓ Winter break - drain the tank, carban, pistons, pistons on compression, cylinder with fog oil preserved.
Replacement and collective status
While XT -600 E -models are massive, the TT600R remains rare. Original states with yellow Öhlin spring legs, unpaved swingows and series wave slices already achieve> € 4000. Restored specimens with OEM -Plastics (3.5kg total) and original exhaust (unfortunately difficult) are popular with collectors. A complete maintenance book, invoices for Qualitative spare parts And demonstrable oil changes significantly increase the value.
