Do you think a new clutch assembly is the better way to go? Seems like all the intricate parts of this engine have all been discontinued -_-

I’ll take a look, thank you. Hope this works for me i would prefer to not buy a whole new clutch assembly….

1972 xs 650…. I torqued the clutch basket to 58 ft lbs and it’s tight but there is no threads after the nut which seems concerning? On top of that I cleaned off the old clutch plates/friction discs to re install and one broke, I figure I best replace them all, is there a kit that is superior...

Thanks once again Jim, really appreciate it

Thank you, i will keep that in mind through out the build, appreciate the fast response

Got a few questions before i apply the sealant and close the halves 1. Where do i get the plug that blocks off the oil gallery from the top housing to the bottom? Would have just left it in there if i knew at the time… 2. What is the proper position for the circlip that goes on the drive...

I’m not sure where i would go to get that done… i am located in Canada so shipping is expensive. I looked into getting my cam re-surfaced but the cost was way more than a good used one. I found a rocker box with the arms that look to be in great condition for around 100$ U.S. Is getting them...

Thanks for the fast response, i think i will just buy a decent complete rocker box off e bay.

I have a 72 Yamaha 650 xs2 that unfortunately was starved for oil on the top end requiring new rockers and camshaft. I bought a good condition used camshaft that is identical to mine (same number of teeth on timing chain gear). The seller did not have the rocker box that was manufactured with...
