how involved is the m10 swap?
other than buying a used m10, any other significant parts needed?
 
wow, never seen anyone that didnt like the stock suspension on an xt :) is that electron blue pearl? looks good. but the low vmax-4 windshield would look amazing on it. cold as heck though, used to have a 96 vmax-4
 
Yea you need to get the mount kit for the m10 for the sled thats about it. its not hard to do just measure very good and recheck your measurements. I was wondering if a vmax4 windshield would fit on mine glad ya mentioned it.
 
kewl lookin 600, I just picked up a 1995 vmax 4 800 myself, here are a few pictures, its pushing 192hp, but still retains the stock look.

mods:

Bender Quads
decked heads
trail ported

My 96' 600

Here is a pic of my girlfriends 96' V-Max 600. It started out as a 500 and now has 600 cylinders ,heads, and twin pipes! I always liked the looks of these old pogo sleds.

Here are the pair of oldie's that the wife and i ride. The XT runs much better with a 95 head gasket, reclutched and jetted.
Darkstar31 Do you have the old suspension out of your 96 XT? I could use the rails.

She said she wouldn't ride unless she had a purple and pink sled. The hood was broke into 2 pieces when I got it. I fixed the SMC and painted it ford escort purple. After that I found 600 cylinders, heads, pistons, and twin pipes used for $150, so I said what the hell. The I put on a 1 inch camo predator, rebuilt the skid from top to bottom, and replaced all the bearings on the drive and jackshaft.
She rode it about 180 miles and then I found a leftover 05' RX-1 this spring for a good price and now this sled just sits in the barn covered up. Figures!
 
I had a nice old one once, here she is.
Piped, clutched. 192 studs. This sled really moved, for what it was. Ahh, the memories......

so the top end from a 600 is a "bolt on"?

I'll have to see how the 500 goes this yr and it under powered I may step it up.

I did a 700 wildcat motor into my 580 zr, (little bit of a sleeper now)
