Diagnose and replace clutch Yamaha 600 Diversion SECA /

[@w09374]

Amazing video, solved my problem a treat. Ended up using the end of a 5.5mm drill bit ground down to fit both the basket and drive gear perfectly. No more clutch noise! Thanks RB! ♥

Brilliant, glad my video helped. That is the best thing I can hear from viewers. Enjoy your riding.

[@matejtokoly5713]

Wow, what a video, fantastic job , one of the best explanation I have ever seen. I just bought one of these and I am going to restore it. Thanks again and keep making videos like this

[@RestorationBiker]

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am glad it helped you. I love doing videos like this, so it makes it really worth while when I get comments like yours. thank you.

Great video - thanks for explaining I was looking for a video for the later 09 divi - as mine needs looking at - its getting a bit sticky when changing gear or going into netural when the engine is warm, ive changed the oil/filter but no difference.

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi If it is a bit 'sticky' when engaging gears or neutral, then the problem is that the clutch isn't fully disengaging. This could be for a number of reasons. I would totally strip the clutch and fit new friction and plain plates, as you may have a warped plate. Check the whole set up when it is out and I am sure that you will cure the fault..

[@overlandmotorcycletours4785]

@@RestorationBiker thanks for your reply - I will take it apart and have a look its done a few miles now 75,000 but im reluctant to get rid of it as its so nice to ride / im not sure what I would replace it with. I might have to have a look for a spare one.

@@overlandmotorcycletours4785 Hi, yes there isn't a lot out there that is as good as the diversion for reliability, and fun to ride etc. Let me know how you get on. I will help as much as I can. Take plenty of pics. Send some over to me.

Cracking vid, im about to strip down the clutch on a 92 600s i bought a few years ago but just left standing in garage, done a few jobs lately ready to take for mot but found engaging 1st, nuetral and 2nd gear difficult, ive tied back the lever and left for a few days but need to do the rattle pin anyway so will inspect clutch and change if necessary. This vid will be a huge help cheers

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, Thanks for the comments. It sounds as if you have a couple of plates sticking together. A good strip down and clean of all the plates will probably get it working perfectly again.

Hi, nice and tidy job !! Thanks , Gus

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi Thanks, the bike is a totally different bike to ride with a new clutch in it.

Hi. Great video. Any idea if the FZS600 Fazer clutch rattle is the same problem?

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi Chris, thanks for the nice comments. I love the Fazer. I very nearly bought a new one when they first come out. I have owned a couple of them since but they were secondhand. Great bikes. I love the gold paint scheme. The clutch is different on the Fazer. They do suffer from a clutch 'rattle' Normally this can be improved by doing a proper carb balance, as the clutch rattles if the carbs are out. If that doesn't cure it, then you need to dis-assemble the clutch and check the condition of the clutch basket and the clutch plates (the ears of the plates especially) Make sure that there are no 'burrs' on the basket where the plates contact the basket. If you strip it and want any other help, feel free to contact me and I will help if I can.

Hi i have same noise with pin What you use for made pin ??? Thanks a lot. Welding wire can be 3mm?

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, you can use anything for the replacement pin, it just has to be the right size. I have seen bolts cut and used, I used a roll pin. That allows you to knock it it and keeps it from rattling around

[@booda2552]

I used a 3mm Alan key, cut and rounded it with a file then hammered it straight into the pin.

[@RestorationBiker]

@@booda2552 Hi, thats great. so long as it gets rid of the rattle eh!

[@garry9999]

Nothing like an old bit of mat for the workshop

[@RestorationBiker]

Yes, indeed. It is now a 'minimum requirement' for me now

[@danielhancock3499]

Good video pal just wondering what u used for the new pin

[@RestorationBiker]

Glad you enjoyed it. I had a length of steel bar the right diameter for the pin. The only problem was I forgot to film me doing it, so I had to 'skip' over it. The bike runs superbly now with no more noise from the clutch basket.

[@giuseppebenelli8801]

good morning, does anyone have a video that explains how to disassemble the gearbox of the yamaha xj 600 s 1994?

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, I have never had to strip a 600 diversion engine down that far. They are bullet proof engines. If you have a problem with your one it may be easier to replace the complete engine assy.

[@giuseppebenelli8801]

@RestorationBiker thanks for the reply; in reality I don't know if the real problem is the gearbox, in reality I changed the chain, crown and sprocket, but I noticed that the bike jerks in second gear when I give gas, I can't understand what it is, everything is adjusted well

[@RestorationBiker]

@@giuseppebenelli8801 Does it only happen in 2nd gear?

[@giuseppebenelli8801]

@@RestorationBiker hi, yes today I checked with a mechanic, and he confirmed that it is the front engagement gear of the second gear... only him; given the cost, I'm thinking of doing this job with a friend, numbering all the parts, and making sure to put everything back in order

[@RestorationBiker]

@@giuseppebenelli8801 Yes, sounds feasible. All you must do is take your time, and take lots of pictures to help with the rebuild. Do a video and put it on here.

remember to leave 3 MM free space on the clutsh lever on the handlebar .

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, Yes you are dead right

[@ynwrysky2785]

I put my whole clutch back together right, And now the cable doesn't fit right, And the clutch lever when I pull won't make the clutch engage and work

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, yes, I know what you have done. On the top where the clutch cable fits onto the arm. You need to remove the small arm that is held by a circlip, and then re-position it in the correct position.
