    For 'YOUR' 'XR650R' that may well be true. It already sounds abnormal re the fuel tank !

    What CO readings are you getting throughout the Rev range, on the Dyno then ?


    Funny how the main complaint about XR650Rs is, that 'they chew thru Gas'.

    Hardly a trait for a lean running engine don't you think ?

    This 650 of mine has got a wicked throttle snatch, from idle to engagement.....(bad choice of words, I know)

    I can't be stuffed searching threads or experimenting......anyone know the fix ?

    bit of both, i got sick of mucking around with the jets and the slide, wasnt keen on mucking with the throttle tube. seems to be a bit of a trait with the 600 slide carb, its alright though, it caught me out a few times when i first started riding it, just part of it roughly charm
    looking at an upgrade when the budgets allow maybe FCR pumper or makuni flatside.

    I thank you for your input, but having owned the 650 for only 1 week, I need to compare '''apples with apples'' . LOL

    Can you confirm or deny similarity.

    Oh shit Dino, I have to put down my drink, put on my glasses, leave the computer, find the torch, go into the shed, find the bike, then look all round the carb and find a fkn number !


    Can't you just give me the website for a new carb ?....I can order it online...

    mines the Keihn PD which might be a bit out dated than the revamped 650 motor

    ...you are a slave-driver


    Ok, so let me get it straight....you have an inherent snatching problem too, with the 600 ?

    mines the PD model.

    i wouldnt call the snatch on mine a problem more a trait that im used to, only becomes a problem on say a corner when i want to add a little juice and get a lot which is followed by the arse end loosing it, although some would call that fun
