No. They are not interchangeable. I finally got these from a guy for a few bucks so it didn't really cost me anything. I was surprized at how much larger the 650's were than Virago's. Like about 50%. Oh well, was worth a try.

Thanks 5twins, I will check the shaft and the inside of the gear.

Would it possibal to use two springs? Or is that a major no no?

I got another #4 gear on the starter, behind the clutch. That works and now the starter turns the engine over. The #4 gear doesn't want to disengage now. A couple of times the gear disengaged and then went back towards the center of the engine, or re-engaged and sits in the engaged position...

I just wanted to say that I got good parts and fast delivery for my clutch and starter parts from Motrhedd.

A tough looking biker was riding his Harley when he sees a girl about to jump off a bridge so he stops. "What are you doing?" he asks. "I'm going to commit a suicide," she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity he asked "Well, before...

I took the picture off an internet classified ad, so I don't have a measurement. I was hoping for some experience / expertise on this. Thinking because of the year and Yamaha it might be the same or interchangeable.

Are these the same or substatutable for the XS650?

This pic shows my $50 worth of Torque Multipliers leaning against what some guys on ebay would call $400 worth of parts.

I will have a relook at that washer. I thought it was strange for it to break. A two piece would be stranger.

Like I said, I'm groin to bust someting. The clutch removal tool isn't strong enough and bent like a pretzel and I jamed a wrench in the basket fins which broke a fin. I put a torque multiplier / pipe on the new 29mm socket from Sears and said WTF. I think the fin broke at the same moment the...

Had to wait for some money, some tools, some honey doo's. Got the clutch off and broke a piece of the clutch basket. The problem was the #4 gear was worn off. Now I know where the steel on the oil magnets came from. Those picks are on my stuff somewhere.

Yep, it's a 29mm. And I'm groin to go bust something.:wtf:

Is the clutch nut a standard right thread? Thought I should check before I really crank on the torque, as it isn't coming off easy. I'll take any suggestions on that also. I got a clutch removal tool from Mike's. I also got the clutch socket / 27 mm which is too small. This is a 1978. Thanks.

That's a great looking bike. Which handlebars do you have?

Pumps put a link on here that shows the gears behind the clutch. I found the same pics on 650motorcycles that had an explaination that I finally understood. The second pic shows a screwdriver pushing the #4 in toward the center of the case. 5twins said " When the little gear turns the big...

What is the function of the lever / bracket that is left of the red circled gears in 5twins picture, above? I did manage to get my kick starter back in.

The wishbone clip is in it's proper place like the pic above.

In 5twins pic, both gears circled in red are spinning / turning. I put the kick starter lever back on it's shaft to give it some turns. That worked and turned the engine over. But as I was playing with it I pulled it away from the case and now I guessing I can't get the shaft back into it's...
