Im doing a total restoration of my 1996 xr600. I havent really started yet, but it seemes to be a hard restoration when it comes to get parts. Not plastic and easy stuff, but decomp parts for engine and so on. I might need to buy a used engine or something. Scammers are also working hard on sites, so its hard to trust people. Too bad that it has become like this.
Hi yes I agree, finding parts is the hardest part . Fowlers honda bristol uk , also cms netherlands are good also everett honda usa . I had to get some parts from breakers to . Good luck on your build well worth it when done . My next vid will be on my xr600r not a full resto just suspension work and a good clean up . 😀
Thank you . Getting there . Still in the working progress stage at the mo covered in oily finger prints . Polish when all mechanical work done . Thanks for watching 👍
Hi thanks , getting there. This build much quicker parts are more available 👍. Still a bit messy at mo oily fingers prints etc . Not going to the extent as i did on 650 as this one will live off road i hope 😀 if i get time that is .
Ah great thank you . I started doubting my work been measuring and checking wheel on off many times haha 😆. It just seems like it should come all the way through. Thanks again saved me from worrying 👍👍👍
Reference your front spindle, can you make sure your two spacers (left side) are placed together correctly as they look like both touching on the smaller ends when I think they both should have the smaller ends out. Small end into hub and small end into fork.
Hi thanks for watching 👍. A few stages of cleaning , 1 started with just soft brush by hand , 2 wet and dry paper 600grit , 3 wire wool , 4 wipe down dry cloth , 5 used 3 in 1 oil on cloth and polished it in when this gets hot it will stain the pipe slightly gold and be easier to clean next time . Hope this helps 😀.

I just checked my XR400 and the front axle is exactly the same as yours.

Unlike the XR600R my 400 is like yours also...
@@dlrmon1 good to know 👍
