Even though I'm not doing everything you did... These videos are still indispensable to me getting my new 82 xj650 running. Having never wrenched on a bike before, you're getting me through the hard parts better than any written manual

Nice job mate can't Waite to see the final results

My engine was something around 50kg.....I tipped it sideways onto tyres....then dismantled the engine ....every bolt....going to rebuild...new bearings...bolts etc....my barrel was a nightmare to separate....it’s a 97

Always good to watch your videos but this one scares the hell out of me with all those parts. This is not for the faint hearted :)

Keep making these videos please.

Coming along nicely, really makes you wonder why the chain is so loose, awesome video, 👌🏼

These videos are awesome!

I got to do this to fix my starter clutch bearings but I really don't want to

👍👍👍

Hi there. Nice series you have here, and I stumbled into. I wonder, why aren't you just going to try to use the 750 engine? Boring a 650 to what, 690? 700? why not just use the 750 now that you know this one has some issues? And why YICS? I am working with a 550 vision and its one of the first things they recommend you remove, as how much it helps is debatable, and often another thing to leak and cause run issues. VS what YICS does is supposedly spread the gas atoms out for more thorough combustion. Not sure if that really gives more HP, though it might make the exhaust a bit cooler considering there will be less burning gas in the exhaust. Though the YICS system looks completely different on how it is set up on the 4 cyl. Best of luck!

Did you have to taer down the top end to split the cases?

Do you need to remove the head and jugs to split the case.

Gee 110k an still looks pretty good inside, was there anything else that puts tension on that chain and might have let go over the years? You will make a awesome motor with all those parts an skills 😁👍

your bolt organization gives me anxiety. Id never be able to figure out hwich one went where

XJ600 engine was around 50kg

how did you get the airbox assembly out of the frame with the starter and alt still installed on the engine?
