Speak to Rich at louigi moto 01761453366 he will have the answers he did it to his bike.

I think you may need the later primary drive gears too to go with the 6-speed box - the primary drive ratios were changed 3 times during the life of the 583 engine.

[paynep]

yup, agree with Phil & Nelly

Thanks all,

Look like the clutch is a defo no go then.

I'll have a chat with rich next week see what he says about the gear box (got to ring him anyway got a slight bend in the front wheel rim)

Cheers,

Shandy

Was wondering how to tell which bike is which. Eg an early and a late. Mines a reg 98 and so my friends dark but I have the clutch on the nearside (left siting on the bike) while my friends is on the other side.

I have individual bolts either side of the engine holding the engine on the frame while he has the central bolt all the way through.

Well thats confused me, my Early Monster 600 and 600SS both have the clutch hose going to the right side of the engine and have two seperate front engine bolts

my 620 has the clutch slave cylinder on the left of the engine and has one long bolt right the way through.

The early engines still used the Pantah style outer engine and cambelt covers.

[KeefyB]

The later engines used plastic cambelt covers,similar to the 900.Note the clutch casing is also completely differant.
Sprocket covers are also differant,..the early bike has a more rounded cover.

I may be selling a 1999 M600 engine if that hits the spot??

Yorkie!
