Can You rebuild a Honda XR600R with an engine?
The official Honda factory service manual makes the process all pretty clear. And, yes, it can all be done with the engine in the bike.
How big are the springs on a Honda XR600R?
A brand new set of ‘parts correct’ Honda replacement springs measured up around 38.6mm and 34.3mm straight out of the bag, so maybe there’s been a running change that didn’t make it into the manual. Others report similar measurements, so presumably those figures are pretty right and the one-mill service limit should still apply.

An introduction… XR600Rs are pretty bullet-proof but when something does wear out or break there’s nothing much easier to work on (short of a two-stroke) than Honda’s big air-cooled single.
What should I do if my XR600R is leaking?

What kind of engine does a Honda XR 600 have?

Why do I need to rebuild my XR600R engine?
If something’s gone bang and you’ve got a rod poking out of the crankcase you know you’re up for a rebuild, but the most common reason for unbuttoning an XR600R engine is a top-end refresh. A smokey exhaust and increased oil consumption are the first signs you’ll need to do some work – worn valve seals and piston rings are the usual suspects.
When did the Honda XR600R win the 1000?
The 600 continued to win in ‘86 and ‘87. After a Kawasaki-created dry spell in Baja, the Honda XR600R again won the 1000 in ‘97 and ‘98, after which a redesigned XR650R took over. On the east side of the country, the championships flowed freely thanks to the freakish abilities of Scott Summers.
