I have a rincon here and other than checking the oil pressure I really don’t know where to start. I don’t know a lot about the trans on these. Sometimes when you put it in reverse you can hold throttle very high and barely move, shift to forward and it works fine. I have only gotten it to do it once for me and that was when engine was cold, owner says it is random. Like I said, it doesn’t always do it. So kinda at a loss on where to even start..

First, let me say i’m not used to these Honda motors. I’ve only ever been in Kawi v-twin motors.

I’m working on my buddies 2007 680 Rincon. When it’s idling it will rattle every couple seconds. I’ve read about cam chain issues and I saw something about a decompression release issue. So I decided to tear into the motor and look around. Before I tore it apart the sound seemed to be coming from the cam area.

When I tore it apart I found a few things I’m not sure of. I’ve included pictures: The first picture (the one with my finger) should that piece be loose? When i touch it, it wiggles around and moves back and forth. The second picture is of the underside of the head where the cam sprocket is. I’m fairly certain those aren’t just casting marks. The tensioner appears to be working as the chain is fairly tight. I can wiggle the chain side to side on the sprocket but I can’t pick it up any.

Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance for the help!

I recently realized one of the welds on my exhaust pipe was broken. I had the pipe re-welded in the same spot and it held for another 3 months. However, now the weld is broken again and my exhaust is in 2 pieces. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with a 680 rincon. The bike is not old so I don’t see why the factory weld would break. Also, I was considering replacing the entire exhaust instead of having it welded again but i can only find slip on pipes and no full exhaust systems. So I need suggestions for other exhausts to buy.

Does anyone have a Atv guru bumper on their rincon? I am looking into getting one but am worried it won’t work since I have to hook my winch to my front rack for the plow. Any ideas? Pics would be greatly appreciated also.

I tried the search engine for Rincon valve clearance and nada. seems like
I read on this forum in and ex around .016 thou. if my memory is correct ,

while running the winch power cables, I charged up the battery. it was quite low at 40% charge. after it was charged, batt voltage was 12.5 v
I then put a volt meter between the neg cable and the batt neg post. I got 11.8 v. my mullti meter is on the fritz so don,t know how many milli amps.
yes everything is off as far as I know. bad rectifier???? clock????

I weld a 1/4 inch plate to the horizontal tubes and drill holes for the winch plate. the winch sits upright on top instead of upside down on the bottom.this work good on my other Rincon so the same with this one. one pic shows the tow bar attach point. 7/8 square high strength keystock. one pick shows
the old school method of making ur own motorcycle clutch and brake cable ends. I die grind a 3/8 hole in the drum for the cable to set in and don,t have to worry about the cable coming out.

Alright, I’m going to be changing my final shifter in my rincon here soon since its grinding now. I know I need to get the final shifter from a big red (has less dog on it). What else am I going to need? Any seals? I’m wanting to order everything at once but I don’t know what exactly I need.
