Good work .. Only one thing .. When the automatic key gives you the value, do not repeat the lock again and again ..do you not trust the key ?

[@Mandricity]

You´re right, I wasn´t aware of that and saw myself doing that while I looked at the video... Funny is, my clickwrench is not the cheapest one and I can normaly trust it 100%. I try to avoid that in future.

[@paulotex19]

Thanks for sharing. And thank you for no music (or very quiet classical).

[@Mandricity]

[@nathanyamaha465]

Awesome video. What would cause my xt600 to kick down from 2nd gear to 1st gear when I give it full throttle?

[@Mandricity]

Maybe worn out nosings at the sprockets or bended shift-forks

[@U2pSandman]

Excellent videos, and a professional build, thanks for sharing ! I am currently rebuilding a '86 SRX600 engine. This engine is 99% similar to a XT600 engine from the same period. I am changing the SRX gearbox for a XT gearbox ( 47N model ) because of damaged 4th and 5th gears on the SRX. However my donor XT gearbox input shaft 1st gear has quite "pointy" or sharp tooth edges compared to all other gears on both the SRX and XT gearbox. I suspected my 1st gear on the input shaft was worn out. However i noticed in your video your input shaft 1st gear also has pointy/sharp tooth edges ( you can clearly see this when you put the gearbox back in the crank case ). It's looks exactly the same as my XT input shaft. However my SRX600 input shaft 1st gear has normal flat edges like all other gears. Do you perhaps know if Is this is normal for XT gearbox shafts ? Thanks again, excellent video !

[@Mandricity]

All the XT inputshafts i´ve seen in my life had these toothedges so i think thats okay. But the ratio is different between XT and SRX, especially 5th gear...

[@U2pSandman]

Thanks for your answer. Good to hear that this is normal. I Checked gearbox ratios between the XT 47N and SRX btw. Only 1st gear differs. SRX =13T/30T and the 47N = 12T/31T.

[@Mandricity]

Yes, 1st gear not 5th, thats right.

After 2 months seeing lots of video I think this is the best video of restauration of this Xt600. Bravo! I'd like to ask if you could write me the correct measurement of the dynamometric key to clamp the carter and the cilinder... Please 😇🙏

[@Mandricity]

I am sorry but I don´t really understand what you mean...

[@pgp.videography]

@@Mandricity I did it by downloading the original service manual. Well, I meant... you're screwing with a dynamometric key, so the key can set the Nm of the screwing strength... google it to traslate, man ;)

Nein, hab die Lager im freien Handel besorgt

[@jonathandarsonluhana4298]

That's good development of science

[@xThirdOpsx]

Great work! The only thing I see wrong is that it looks like you don't soaked the clutch plates in engine oil.

[@Mandricity]

I did. 11:27 and 11:35 you could see it...

[@xThirdOpsx]

That is standard lubrication, what I meant to say is that as far as I know you should soak the clutch plates overnight prior to installation.

[@Mandricity]

30 years ago it was indeed a recommendation. With modern linings it´s not necessary. By the way the clutch is working properly... Anyway thanks for your comment!

[@xThirdOpsx]

Thanks, I watched so many tutorials and they all say to soak them, thats why I raised this point :) No problem, are you going to upload any other engine builds? I really like seing someone building an engine without music or fancy editing in the video...I'd like to open up my drz 400 sm engine but I need the bike for daily commuting so :'D Are you a mechanic or this is its just an hobby for you?

[@Mandricity]

It´s just a hobby but sometimes I think it´s more like a meditation when I´m standing in the workshop and doing things while listening to classical music... ;-) The next Video is almost ready. It´s about a overhaul of an old XT500

[@rockfeller22056]

excellent video well done...one question...at 13:14 are not supposed to have numbers on the engine ??

[@Mandricity]

Thanks You must have hawk´s eyes! Not bad! :-) I asked myself the same when i got that used housing...

[@rockfeller22056]

thanks for the reply...just asking to know if there were engines (xt) that came out of factory without numbers....have you found anything ??

[@Mandricity]

No, all yamaha bike engine have the same number as on the frame (matching numbers) this engine i have here was a spare part (just housing) i guess.... normaly the dealer have to put in the number and have to put the old, damaged, housing in the scrap. But it is just a assumption...

Hello my friend, im restoring my 89 Tenere as well, and i have a question.. you heated up the crankcase with the balancer retentor, or put it after crankcase was hot? its not damage the retentor? ...We can see it at 1:32. thanks from a brazilian guy :)

[@Mandricity]

Hello, what do you mean with "retentor"? I don´t know that word. Maybe you mean the whiper behind the balancer bearing, right? I put that in first and i don´t have it on video unfortunately. I have max 120 degrees C on the crankcase for mounting the bearings and that is no problem for all whipers because if the engine is working than it´s the same temp or even more... greetz from germany

Morning All, I have a problem that the Bike starts but when you select gears it kills the motor. Is the problem on the clutch plates as the bike has been standing for a long time or is it coming from the clutch sliding pin in the middel of the clutch plates. Thanks in advance. Yamaha XT 600 E

Sounds more like sidestand killswitch to me

[@sten6537]

At how many Nm do you use your wrench for the bolts and nuts inside the engine? Very nice work by the way! My engine is already taken apart and ready to rebuild. If you like, watch my video of my previous restoration of an XT 600 2KF (white/red), you will like it ;-).

[@Mandricity]

which bolts and nuts exactly?

Bravo... piano piano imparo anchio Gra

[@KARABOUDJANUNO]

First of all thank you for sharing this excellent video i´ve downloaded to my PC as a mechanical guide. I´ve got a recently buyed 2004 TTRE with 8.000 miles on it , do you think necesary to change the crank shaft bearings an engine bearings and retainers with that mileage? It is your restored engine the exact same model as mine? Thanks for your excellent help from Madrid.

[@Mandricity]

8000 miles could mean brandnew or totally worn out... It really depends on how it was used. If you have to open it for a reason then i recomment to change all bearings just because it´s not more than 60 euros...

[@KARABOUDJANUNO]

Mandricity please watch this video and let me know your expert opinion. Very pleased for your valuable help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3iwlmuPhLGYfq8

[@Mandricity]

I´m not an expert but this sounds to me like a worn out conrod... Is that the 8000miles engine ??

[@KARABOUDJANUNO]

[@AlexFacchi]

Nice work!! from where do you get the torque parameters for the engine?

[@Mandricity]

From a repair manual.

[@jayrazz8499]

Or from searching & comparing torque specs online with calculated common mechanical sense.

[@costakanados3273]

Fantastic job sir ! i have an 89' 2KF and i want to begin the restoration, however, i do not have the repair manual so i dont know the torque specifications or what parts to buy when i do the tear down and the assembly ( like gaskets and O-rings) ,would you be kind enough to tell me where you found the repair manual?? or a decent repair manual that i can buy online in PDF form ?

[@misticmechanic9196]

Please tell me how you warming and/or freezing parts during assembly. Did you use heat-gun or oven? Any other tips which help to assembly bearings with shafts so smooth?

[@yamahajacky3744]

Preheat to and retain at 100 degrees with an oven in your kitchen. Put the case halves in the oven for about 10-15 mins...do it cautiously by doing one case halve at a time, check on your case temperatures to prevent from overheating and make sure you use heat gloves to handle your cases...lay your bearings out on the kitchen table so it's ready to install once the case is out from the oven. Be calm when dropping the bearings into the housing, one at a time, install all your bearings by putting your two fingers in the ID of the bearing and drop them in squarely. If the case cools down, just put it back in the oven for another 5 mins and the temp shall rise again for you to install the rest of the bearings. These XT600 cases tend to chew up the bearing housings due to the soft characteristics of the aluminum castings. It won't hurt by putting a small amount of the bearing retainer on the bearing prior to installation.

[@Mandricity]

I´m using an old kitchen oven at 120 degrees C. the bearings I cool down with a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. Outside the workshop! In a little box with rags.

[@marekbuk]

Interesting - at 9'21" it shows fitting a gasket to the oil pump but there is no gasket in the Yamaha parts list?

[@Mandricity]

Absolutely right there is no gasket in the part list but some, or early models had gaskets behind the oil pump. I measured the clearence and decided to mount one. Somewhere i found a part number. Can´t remember where...

[@marekbuk]

@@Mandricity OK - cheers! - it seems that the more powerful oil pumps require a gasket. BTW why do you place a piece of aluminium plate across the front 2 barrel studs before you tighten the case screws?

[@Mandricity]

@@marekbuk I do that to have a flat surface for the cylinder.

[@marekbuk]

@@Mandricity at what stage did you fit the final drive shaft oil seal? - presumably after the cases had cooled down?

[@Mandricity]

@@marekbuk Yes, at the end when the case is cool but you can fit it when the case is hot because 100 degrees should be no problem for the seal but for your fingers

It´s a aluminium metalsheet between balancer weight and crankshaft. I put it in at 8:47

[@rbraz80]

Hi, great video. The seal on the crankshaft counter balancer can be replaced from the “outside”, or do we need to split the crank cases open? Thanks!

At how many NM you set the wrench - 10:15 and 12:30 ?

[@fabrifabri65]

Why enter the bearings in the crankcase so loose?

because the crankcase were heated up to 100-120 degrees and the bearings came direct from the fridge -20 degrees
