xt 600 1j 1985

[RodYork]

just bought the above!- sorry its a 1vj model

could any of my learned friends advise on

1. potential problems (mechanical) with the bike- im aware of the 5th gear problems
2. parts- where to get & are they interchangeable with any other bikes ie 600 tenere?
3. suitable forums that specialise in the bike type
4. suitable places to get spares- are they readily available?

Thanks in advance

Regards
