Glad I found this channel, as I just got home a 1986 XL600, it came in boxes just like Yours. Have never done any work on Hondas, only veteran Triumph and BSAs :)
As long as it’s complete, you’ll be fine. Honda is very smart about how they built these bikes. There’s really only one way that things can go back together. Find a free copy of the service manual and get exploded parts diagrams, then take your time, make sure you have everything and put it all back together. It’s almost certainly going to need top end parts
Hey Man. Whats the ods of me finding your recent overhaul video the same time im doing mine😊. Im from South Africa. I have an old 83 xl600 farm bike that has been standing for 10 years. Was running. missing some parts to get back to origional. Your video is a mayor help. Wil get to part 2 and 3 later.
Great videos Jason. Have seen part 1 & 2 on the XL600R motors. Your effort here is going to encourage a lot of people who are "borderline" mechanically inclined to jump into the deep end and get er done! I was looking for something specific but didn't quite find it. (comment above still stands) Am on my second complete teardown of my 87. There's a particular washer (90452-VM0-000) on the kickshaft that doesn't seem the least bit interested in coming off, and I can't remember what's the deal with that washer. Circlip removed, but the washer seems to be in some kind of groove on the shaft and it's got me stumped. Or does it ONLY slide off the port side of that shaft? Apparently I'll be curling up with a good book (service manual) this evening to see what's the deal. BTW, where in Canada? I'm in toontown.
Thanks for the comment! It has been a while since I’ve been inside a case, but I think you will find that it will only come off from one side. Honda has a way of baking things fool or of when it comes to reassembling things. There must be a reason it wants it on that side, probably to align the gear beside it with the rest of the transmission. I’m located in Pelham, Ontario in the Niagara peninsula.
Great video. Lots of information to use for my own project 👍🏼thanx

Hi, Jason, where is the best place to find the exploded diagrams ? thanks.
There’s a few of them. Try cmsnl.com or babbittsonline.com
