The XT600 has a really nice, waterproof plug cap, But if the bike is run hard and gets really hot, the engine could start misfiring. A small resistor in the cap causes the problem. The resistor's function is to keep the bike's ignition from messing up TV reception. The fix is simple and cheap. Pull the plug cap from the spark plug, take a flat blade screwdriver, poke it inside the plug cap (where the top of the plug usually is) and turn the threaded screw counterclockwise until it falls out of the cap. The resistor will fall out with it. Be careful, there is a small spring above the resistor. Get a piece of brass rod the same approximate diameter and cut it to match the length of the resistor. Replace the spring, brass piece and screw. End of problem.
