    Your XL600R videos are great, DRay. The production quality and information conveyance is as good or better than instructional videos for other bikes I've paid money for. I'm freshening up my original-owner 1983 XL600R and these are way valuable to me. I'd like to see the electrical system work video. Thanks.

  • @jonvalle6098
    @jonvalle6098 9 років тому

    D-Ray, big thanks for the video. I have the same bike D-ray is tuning up in this clip. Here is a tip: Follow D-rays advice on loosening up the air box, on a 1986 it will scoot back about an inch. Fully remove the air box manifold pipe clamps . The air box rubber manifolds are quite flexible and without the clamps on can be wedged fully out of the way. Once they are out of the path of the carburetor follow the exit path D-ray uses in this clip and you will slide her right through.

    • @boulderblake
      @boulderblake 9 років тому

      Well the 87 version of this bike has an extra bolt under the battery so the box doesn't slide back unless that comes out. unfortunately that bolt broke lose and is spinning and not coming out so I bailed on pulling the carb cuz the rubber manifolds on the intake side of the carbs were separating from the air box and that's not good:)

    • @bardinkurtis
      @bardinkurtis 9 років тому

      Having a hell of a time removing the air box but guess I don't need to fully also don't have a canister thing is that bad? Please don't no if d ray will respond

    • @bardinkurtis
      @bardinkurtis 9 років тому

      boulderblake dude tell me about it had a fuck of a time getting off the air box guess i didnt fully need to and that bold underneath it with the wierd nut forget about it lol and i also screwed up my intake thing bummer!! Don't have 1 of those canisters he points at is that important

    • @boulderblake
      @boulderblake 9 років тому

      I got the bolt by the Battery to come off and that provided the amount of room I needed to get the carb off without pulling off the air intake rubber. I cleaned and rejetted the carb and had to seal the rubber air pieces back. All in all it was a pain in the ass because I didnt know there was a third bolt. I looked at the video again and i figured the bolt from D-Rays bike was missing before he got it:)

    • @bardinkurtis
      @bardinkurtis 9 років тому

    I learned something new. It seems the 83 duel carbs are different the 86 carbs. I have everything back together and came across this video and thought I would double check my work. In the video I noticed something I don't remember doing which was the "low speed mixture screw". It wasn't even in my manual which covered years from '79-'90. Tore everything back out and discovered that I don't have one. I few more beers and I was ok. Its how you learn. I would love a video on how to install and adj the throttle cables. Its , for some reason , a real bitch for me. haven't gotten it right yet. The carb bowls on the 83 are different also, they are identical. Thanks D-Ray your videos have been a lot of help. 2 years and I almost have it back together.

    • @michaelross7153
      @michaelross7153 10 років тому +1

      For anyone that's reading the comment above, the 1983 model didn't have the low speed mixture screw. Anything later then that did, so don't worry if you haven't got one. You shouldn't if you have the stock Keihin PH60 Carburetor.

    • @sory4beinanonymous
      @sory4beinanonymous 4 роки тому

    on the removal of the airbox, three screws on the air box cover, and I found another bolt on the right hand low side holding the airbox as well, making a +1 to your count. That being said you have done the best job so far, other videos presume that saying abracadabra will get the carbs out... but then mine is a 1987

  • @DRaysShop
    @DRaysShop  11 років тому +1

    There are 2 studs that are mounted on the seat base near the rear of the seat. They go thru the frame and rear fender. Look under the rear fender toward the front of it, you will see 2 6mm nuts. You will also need to remove the side covers and the strap that goes over the seat. Hope this helps.

    I just want to say D ray that your videos are fantastic, your instructions are really clear and you really know how to edit. I watched a few of the other videos you made just because they're enjoyable to watch. I have an XR650L now and if you did a video on one of those that'd be very cool there's a few things about the bike that my clymer doesn't in depth enough. I think you could make full videos about tear downs as opposed to books like clymer that'd be the greatest thing since valve springs.

I have done this on some other bikes in the past and would like to know the tricks you can pass on for this bike.

I've been going over every nut bolt wire and cap trying to figure out why my bike does not run. And if it's missing, how do I get another, and other small parts to the assembly?

    Hey D-Ray.
    I have the exact same 1986 XL600r bike. The carbs i believe were tuned to my home town. I recently moved over the mountains where the elevation was alot higher. It seems to be okay but the idle is low now. I rode up a fire road that was a aditional 6000 ft. yesterday and the bike stalled and i couldnt start it til i coasted to the bottom. I have never tuned carbs before but i understand how they work. Is it possible to adjust them without taking everything apart?
