Transmission Repair 1998 Yamaha YZF600R a.k.a. Thundercat

We finally got all the parts and can reassemble the yzf600r. This is a long video because I point out a lot of things I feel you should know so watch and enjoy.

Great video. Just trying to get my bike going after sitting there for 6 years. These videos might come in handy one day. Thanks.

Hi im from Norway and love wrenching on bikes and i just found your YZF 600R videos and have been sitting nailed here watching them. Your videos is very god and i really like the way you are explaining things and beenig methodically and thoroughly. This is the best rebuild videos i have seen on youtube.I did a complete engine/transmission rebuild on my yamaha fj1200 2 years ago and it was funny that you used same technique when installing the pistons into cyl bores as i did on the fj engine.

Watching here from Philippines bro nice video

[@karlvanboxel561]

Nice work very impressed with the 6 brg crank design etc and u were very thorough I presume u didn’t need to touch brgs and rings

[@MattsMotoWoRX]

Mileage was relatively low and there wasn’t any scoring on the bearings or cylinder walls

If you're ever out in California hit me up and we'll go for a ride 😁

I wish you would've said the main crank bolt torque. And rod cap torque. I can't find them online for the 600r older than 99.. 🤔 I don't wanna have to wait on a book or pay big bucks for one..

[@nicoverduin]

is this the major problem in the transmission what couses the main trouble overall?. Or is there more in de transmission? btw nice vid and very clear to follow...like them very mutch go on Matt.....greet from Holland

[@laprepper]

And here I'm crying because my air induction tube to in front of the engine had a phat gash in it. QUESTION.. where does vacuum tube come from for the exhaust air vent valve?! Thanks!

[@tonykartracer8032]

Dude..... how do you learn all these transmission stuff? Do you have to go to school for it? I wouldn't know where to start, hell I have trouble just trying to lube the chain.

[@thefurryteddy1018]

I've been watching so many videos about bike engines and rebuilds. It's helped me get such a good understanding. Binge watch nothing but in debt engine rebuilds and diagnostics

[@trowersmitchell8122]

Hey bro am trying to get a pressure plate for my thundercat . Can u give me some info where I can get one

[@laprepper]

One of my upcoming videos will likely be "how to remove pennies from the gas tank with a $5 harbor freight tool" 🤣😂🤣

[@inlovewithrenee8757]

[@dragankatalina6044]

How many kilogrames does it take to tighten a motor head?

[@OrestAmoussou-hv6vq]

Where is ur work shop

[@laprepper]

I would honestly be terrified of diving this deep into my bike..now if only I can figure out why CA dmv insisted on mailing me title, registration and the damn sticker all separately and 8 weeks later?! 🤔🤣😭

[@Brainless_fpv]

wher can i get the workshop book

[@MattsMotoWoRX]

I purchased a pdf file

[@crazyDIYguy]

I love when I go to hit 2nd gear hard and it slips out as the bike redlines in neutral. My own damn fault from clutchless shifting.🤷‍♂️

[@GOOTSlive]

Yamahas fault for putting round, non-undercut gear dogs in these, its never you, always the bike 😉
