On the KLR run 244 on the front and Mitch T63 on the back, very impressed with the 63 its even ok on a wet road, something the AC10's on the WR are not, but would say AC10 best agresive Dot tire and fine in the dry if a little lumpy ridingOriginally Posted by dino3310

Ac10 is a waste of coin for a rear on an XR it would last about 2 seconds, on the front its mint

As for all the other clowns that think their XR's are worth 8 grand... keep it up guys!

"Real men do not need an electric leg"
If The King Of Baja had an electric leg it would only aid
in leaning it towards being another bloated overweight
wrong kind of pig.
Lightweight monster power helps to make it what it is, A Legend !
Tractionator HD/HT found to be best all-round tyre
Good chunky knobblie for the front to help control
front end that carries weight.
More wrestling of front end required on tar than T63
Longest lasting tyre ever run on XR650R
Stiffside wall so can run low pressure offroad
21 on front 18 pounds on back seems good
on tar for handling and longgevity
T63 prob best tyre for gravel ever run
but do not last long on tar even though handle well on it - shocking on mud
Seen others run M21's and go great on tar - but last easily half the
mileage than the tractionator.

Hi, I'm after an XR650R for adventure riding. I've got a TT500G but doesn't really have the legs on the road for the company I'm likely to keep. Also despite the huge reliability of the old TT it is a 36 yr old bike so would prefer to use for shorter, closer to home events and rides. Also keen to be able to trail ride the XR. Thanks.
I am therefore I do
Here's one...http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...1008823204.htm
dunno about the mileage though....but seems well sorted otherwise.

Thanks for that. Yes there are a couple on trademe - one in Tauranga with alot of extra parts but at a couple of grand more. Another with 51K on the clock. So I've looked at the normal channels like Trademe but wondered if this forum brought any more out of the woodwork.
I am therefore I do
This is what I'd buy.....http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...1009410873.htm
On closer inspection though it looks like its had a bit of a hard life for the ks

Cheers Puddytat. What makes you think it's had a tough time?
I am therefore I do
Well my XR400 has done 21000 ks & the engine cases show no where near as much wear....plus the other garks & scratches.Looks like a bit of oxidation on the motor plus he has replaced (good on him too) a fair bit which leads me to believe that the previous owner didn't look after it that well & the seller has tidied it up.
If the oil changes wernt regular ( they have a small volume of oil) then that can cause issues down the line.
So apart from what Ive mentioned I think it is still worth looking at...

But your xr400 does not have the real deal weight saving magnesium clutch cover that wears
from the kick starting motion
