Thank you so much for this video, I've got an 03 650 rincon that someone brought me because of an oil leak and it ended up being the base gasket, I've always worked on old school Hondas and this is the first automatic honda I've worked on and I was stumped until I saw this teardown. Again thank you so much.
@@FourwheelerDoctor awesome. Thank you. I'll be watching for it. I'm waiting on clutch plates, poison, rings, oil pump chain. Got the gasket set. Debating doing the reduction kit while I have it apart
This is awesome video my 07 rincon is starting to slip in third gear so I think I'm going to need a new torque converter possibly but that will be a winter project
Do you remember what size socket it is for the first gear clutches and torque converter are? I think it's 32mm for the torque converter and 29mm for the first gear clutches. I'm just trying to find out because I don't have anything that big and will need to buy it when I start my rebuild next week to replace my rear crank case. Also do the crank shaft just slide out? Thanks again for all the help!
That is pretty much all you need. The flywheel puller I have is from a company called motion pro part number 08-0086. The torque converter can be puller with a 6" two jaw puller or the puller I have came off eBay by horsepower house part number 07933-HA8000.
I have had my rincon since new in 2007. Never swamped, but air filter dry rotted and got sucked into engine. Started smoking, did top end by honing and putting standard rings in. Rode one season maybe. Smoking again and anything beyond half throttle it bogs. I think cam is worn out. Should I put all new top end or completely tear down and rebuild everything? 3500 miles.
great video. Ive got an 05 rincon 650 just adjusted the valves on it and it still doesnt want to start. and i put a compression test on it and its reading 69 psi. any suggestions on what to do next would be helpful if you dont mind. thanks
Awesome vid. I just picked up a 650 that won’t budge, I’m thinking lack of oil pressure. I understand it’s likely the o rings, but what all should I replace while I’m in there? Chains, gears, piston, and what’s the failure rate of the pump itself?
I think most of the oil issues come from the o rings or the hondamatic unit. I replace the gears in the oil pump most of the time just because I am in there. I only replace the oil chain if it has come off. I would replace the cam chain if the tensioner is extended all the way out.
@@FourwheelerDoctor I got it figured out, she’s back on the road now. Oil pump chain was off, so I ordered a new one as well as piston rings and a timing chain. I cleaned the oil pump sludge out, and the o rings were in perfect shape. She’s runnin good, thx for the vid
So I just changed piston rings and lapped my valves on my 2015 680 which fixed my smoking problem, but it has impossible to pull start since I got it, seems like the compression stroke is just too much to pull through, starts up easy peezy with starter, any advice?
There is really nothing you can do to make it easier. The cams in these motors have a decompression ring on them that is supposed to help but the are still really hard to pull. If you get it to rotate around to the top of the compression stroke you can get it to pull start in a pinch.
Hi, Thanks for a great video. I have a 2005 Rincon 650. Can you please tell me if the bore on them is Nikasil coated or can it bore bored to do a top end rebuild? I notice the .040 oversize pistons are available for it on the aftermarket but I wasn't sure as there are some conflicting bits of info out there
I am pretty sure theses are not nikasil. A easy way to check is to stick a magnet to the inside of the cylinder, if it sticks it can be bored if it doesn't stick then it is nikasil.
When you did the gear reduction on the bike did you pull the motor ? Or were you able to access it all from the rear of the bike without pulling the motor? Reason I'm asking long story short I blew the reverse gear to pieces and need to replace it but I really don't want to pull the motor if I don't have to haha thanks!
Yes it's not bad. Just get you some cardboard to put your bolts in that come out of the engine covers. There are a number of bolts and I think a few of them are different lengths.
this video was great. i have the reverse gear out of my rincon. just grinds in reverse. i may try replacing the reverse gear without removing the engine just the rear axle assembly.
Yes you can do that. I wish I had a video of it because I have done it a few times but never recorded it. It more than likely isn't the reverse gear but the cogged piece that attaches to the reverse gear or the inner cog that the shift fork slides back and forth. The cogs will be rounded off on the edges and not mesh up correctly when shifting.
Same problem here. It also has a grinding sound when it goes into drive. I may have damaged it already but do you have any information on how you made out? I"m going to attack it one day but I'm trying to learn all I can before starting. Because it grinds going into forward could it be the torque converter? if you could get back to me on how you made out. thanks
@@TheSaskachewan1 I just did one not long ago that was grinding and it was the cogs inside of the gears I replaced both the forward and reverse and the collar that matched up with them and it fixed it. You can also check your idle. If it's idled up too high it will make them grind too.
By four wheeler doctor I got a 05 Honda rincon 650 2005 that will not run, cleaned carb and changed spark put nothing will not start off of starting fluid either has gas and is firing what do I check now?
What's up doctor? Question I got that thing back together and it's shifting funny. Guys online have had the issue but don't seem to have a clear solution. It's cooing into 1st and reverse no problem but it's locking up in 2nd and 3rd. Have you seen this?
@@FourwheelerDoctor yes I took the solenoids out I took the valve body all apart, I hit it with brake cleaner and compressed air. Got it all cleaned up. I did not pull the pistons out of it. I have the Honda gn4 in it for oil. The only thing I can think of is I did not replace the O-rings on the four nipples between the valve body in the engine case. They did not come with a gasket kit that I ordered and I thought they'd be fine
