    OK, Looks like I'm going to be dropping the engine and ripping it apart to fix the 2nd gear issue. Are there any issues I need to know about that wouldn;t be in the Haynes manual? And while I've got it apart, is thereanything else I should be fixing up at the same time?

    While your in there, rebuilding the starter clutch wouldn't be a bad idea, they're prone to fail. So might as well get that too.

    Do some checking to see if you need to remove the engine. I have XJ & XS 1100 and the gears can be removed without taking the engine out of the frame. I'm not sure but I think the 650 and 750 are similar to the 1100

    It is most likely primary chain guide remnants. But rebuilding the starter clutch while in there is a good idea.
