XR650r owners' thread

[Cary]

Cary's up your way ish...
buy him a cider he might let you have a play on his brp

I offered but he just came round for a look, bit scared of the mighty BRP (he got the 640A instead)

Other than using a bit of oil she did a great job on the DB week(end)
Was real glad i invested in the 24lt tank, well worth it.

go the BRP's

be nice if they put a lecky leg on the 650r no doubt there'd be a few more followers

the only problem with owning a BRP is that i want another one or two

nice one mate.
how many Ks all up, did you ride down or trailer it from aucks like those ktm bunny's

[Cary]

Rode from Picton, don't find SH1 that much fun on the XR......

Just shy of 3000k in the end.

[dino3310]

3000k..... hard bloke
ive been trialing some folded up bubble wrap tapped to the plank, not to bad for about 300-400kms

[Cary]

Yep, trip from Picton to Fairlie on the Friday was a little testing on the arse!! About 400k in I was wishing it put the sheepskin on after all.......

Ok when moving around on the Molesworth gravel but the rest of the way it was the ol stand/sit/stand routine then trying sidesaddle, one cheek at a time!

Anyone heard what highest amount of K's someone has gotten out of the KTM 520 to 530 series ?



Yep yep decisions decisions no one perfect bike out there that does it all ?

My 525's up to 12000kms

[brp]

Nice, you got any idea what you will get out of it before rebuild, oil use ?

[dino3310]

double the oil and half as many kms before rebuild compared to the BRP

[brp]

Be lucky to get 40,000 km out of 525 , more like 20,000 km at most ?
