I have an '85 XR600 which I bought as a non-runner, pulled down, got rebored and new piston, plus some head work done.
Before reassembly I had the nagging feeling that things in gearbox land may not be 100% (when rotating motor and going through the gears, there seems to be quite some time to engage 4th/5th from memory) so while the motor was out, decided to split the cases and investigate...
And, that's as far as I got. The cases will not split no matter what I do! They are slightly separated but won't come any further.
I have a manual and reckon there is no spare bolts hidden away holding things together. Anyone know a secret I don't?
I am not wanting to spend a truckload (wife puts house renovation ahead of two-wheeled $$) but happy to pay someone for their expertise and hours required to sort and perhaps carry on where I left off.
So if you can recommend a spanner man who knew XRs back in the day and could be keen, let me know your recommendations.
Cheers, Dave
