So it runs and shifts good, i set the valves and changed the rear chain, the timing chain, those two gears for the kicker, and also the one bearing kinda thing on the cam, look at the gear that had the most damage, three shaved down teeth and two missing cheers !

got it figured out boys ! so yea after taking this thing apart three times, and cursing alot trying to get the gears to mesh, the shifting forks in, the shift barel lined up,trying to hold the kicker in place with spring pressure on it, and many other little things, the motor is now in the...

Update ! so after two weeks of waiting for parts and finding time to work on the bike i started to put it back together, this was the motor apart it took me a while to get the two gear spindles together, i got it shifting and everything, i got the case and cylinder together and...

Sounds like fun, ive done a bunch of stuff like that all to save money and do it myself, etc.. gotta love it ! and now ill know how loads of stuff works because il have work on them all ! so i found a gasket kit like you said for 35 $ and now to pull the motor, take loads of photos and see...

yea i took the cover off and the main gear is good, I thought it was maybe the ratchet gear or something but the entire spindle seams to be fine, # 2 spins as the motor doesn't turn over. so that's not the problem look here's the spindle Lowest price guarantee on parts / accessories for Honda...

Sounds good, So i had it running all weekend ! there was missing a idle control screw, i cleaned the carb and it was good to go, loads of power, love it, except for the kickstart is stripped, but only at a certain spot, and by turning the rear tire and moving it past that stripped spot i can...

now to enjoy the bike ! not bad for 30 years old !

Well everybody ! good news, i got that piece welded check it out ! tig, Put it back together took a little while, It was hard to tell if the timing mark was perfect on the cam, it looked one tooth off, so i went to move it and it slipped off the sprocket, so i had to start from...

any idea if the flywheel case is supposed to have some oil in it ? right, for the timing chain ?, i found a oil circulation diagram and looks like it does, thanks !

perfect thanks ! will do

yea, i bought a new timing chain for 40 $ and going to order a new timing advance peice, I figured out how it works, my timing coulda been 180 degreed off since thoes two tabs broke off, I coulda got it welded back maybe at work, and the bike should start and run like a champ ! thanks

allrighty ! so opened the trans, looked around, the kicker main gear is good, and it does come back up, so should be fine, now i opened the cdi box on top and found a little peice of steel that has broken off, i further took apart the cdi pulser and found another of the same peice and found...

sounds good to me ! perfect, i think the motor is 10:1 so that would be 147 psi tho, but not bad for and older bike foresure

I was just reading and i didnt check compression with the throttle full, but i did have all 4 plugs out, and i just learnt about the oil in cylinder to check if its rings or valves, sounds like a good test, check what these guys are talking about XJBikes.com › Forums › XJBikes Talk › XJ...

Hey yea so they're okay, I cleaned the carbs, and very clean, and then checked compression and 120, 118,110, 120 the one that was darkest was 110, reason being ( i think) the carb boot behind the carb was leaking bad, it was folded inside, maybe il do a ring job durring next winter, i dont like...

Hey guys, so up here in Ontario spring came early ! fz 600 86' I took the bike out twice for about 150 klms, and noticed there's like a powerband at 4 k but remeber it being like that last year ( first year i got it) I was going to change the plugs, so i pulled the plugs off and they seamed...

Hi guys, So I noticed this when I bought the bike and seamed like it was made like this, but now I'm wondering, The rear sprocket is mounted to a separate piece than the actual rim and there is alot of play, there is 4-5 hex bolts that hold the sprocket on that turn both ways, but dont tighten...
