XR650r owners' thread

NNNNnnnnnnooooooooooooo

fark im gonna be left with no mates soon only a few of us left.


there ya go Martin swap his fairing out

I'll still be lurking around, but yes sadly my XR will soon be on trademe if anyone interested
Have bought my 12yr old his first bike (DRZ125L big wheel) and the XR is just to big to putt putt along with him stop start etc.
Have gone for a '04 WR450F so will still be adventuring (Safari tank due to arrive tomorrow).
Really don't want to sell my XR as it is an awesome bike with more farkles that you can shake a stick at but mum says it must go :-(

I want ALL the bikes on trade me, sadly bank balance says no

The reason an XR650 appeals is it's LAMS approved, while the XR650R isn't, i inquired too so i could put "she who must be obeyed" on the piggie but it's a few KW over, but over nonetheless.

ive got a cunning plan.... you get Matts 650 and swap it with my XR600

sadly, convincing the dragon to kick start a big single hasn't been one of my successes so far

But yer can do the Grey wire mod.... Disconnect the grey wire from the CDI & it will revert to the YZF450
ignition timing.... they have both the WR & YZF ignition maps in the CDI...

Not many 650R's on TM at the mo and thought I'd get in before Matt unloads his as well. Rode mine yesterday and it will be sadly missed but a rooted right knee means kick starting is too much. Someones going to get a score! TM price and KB price is not one and the same!
