Thanks mate! This will probably help me figure out why my gear can't turn more than one half round. I've changed the 3th gear because previous owner cracked it.
A bit blurry at the point where you were showing the wrong undercut,. However, very interesting. Why would the gear have been miscut? Wrong model of XS650??
Nice video, well explained. What do you think of the tires you have on that bike? I’ve been considering them, they seem to have allot of positive reviews. Thanks
About to rip mine apart so thanks for the in depth walk through of everything. I’m from NZ and the shipping I’m gonna have to pay for any parts I need is almost as much as the parts. You have any places over the ditch there that are good for parts before I pull trigger on parts from the states?
If you know which parts you need it will make it cheaper than replacing both gear clusters. I may even have some bits lying around. I just don't have a complete set spare.
😊

No worries mate. Good luck
You have good diagnostic skills
Thanks mate
good to hear it is all sorted now.
Can't wait to see the next build.
sounds good @@2wheelworkshop it will be interesting to see if the bores can be saved
good way to look at it.

Great info...but hope I never have to do😁
Those 3rd gear cogs are not the same, of course. One has a longitudinal groove which the other did not

Good work! Any idea where I can source a gearbox for an 1980 650 special?
Are you in Australia?
@@2wheelworkshop Yes mate, in Whyalla SA, I found one on ebay but the seller cant tell what year its from.
Give Geoff at Geoff'sXS a call. 0412677739.

@@2wheelworkshop I do need both shafts and all gears. I have an engine in boxes and the gearbox is missing!
