Edlerbrock or Minkuni pumper carbs (however spelt)

XR's only should have them, ebay sometimes, maybe bike bandit and the like, chuck XR650R aftermarket carb into the google machine,
common as - or use factory XR650R - beaut carb !


What's Johnny thinking - can't beat cubic inch ! 200 cc down - 200cc its like another bike tacked on moving that rear sprocket - all about sales eh
and the spare parts business

Isn't an NX560 just a de-tuned air cooled XR650? Maybe the carb of one of them, plus an XR400 CDI, give it a bit more poke!

Oh and we need pics!

got that right bro and its the biggest market over there, shame they went the 450 way, the 650r would have to be one of the best... i recall reading some where he did his best times on the 650.
will be interesting to see the longativity of these new 450's there making for baja...
maybe one day the market will come back for the XR, would love to see a lectrik start as well as kick on the R

[NordieBoy]

Nah, this is a cool Honda...
200cc of BEAST!

thanks for the help

I have the NX650 in A GB400 so I dare not put up pics as its a road bike

Just trying to get the bike to stop back firing on close of throttle as its a bit disconcerting I don't want to run it to lean

I had a look at the air cut of valve seems fine so I will try for a bigger main jet as the pilot jet is spot on with the Air mix screw 1.5 turns out
It was a 48 now its a 57 still have the 155 main in it but think it might like a 160 ????

might need a new carb but hopefully not

[dino3310]

yeah try the 160.... cheaper than a carb if it works
could be a lot more richer but, i just replaced the whole lot when i had trouble with mine although i did go up a size on each. Hows it breathing, will it back fire 'say if you had the cover of the air box'(might be a bit extreme) could be a bit restricted.
'nikau' on trademe's a good one for carb kits, bits and bobs

still wana see a picture



Nordie its a XR and all XR's are cool, especially the twinshockers, my first was a 81 250.
cool photo

One Baja race and the 450 is toast - bike manufactures these days in certain area's have killed the market and then created one by offering little choice (2 strokes thrown out of MX parity races) don't sell many parts with 2 strokes - as we know parts market is where the real money is - same with the xr650r - don't sell many parts with a bike that can do 80,000 plus km on same set of rings - doubt ever see its return.

No electric start good weight saving measure ....

What about putting everthing back to original with your carb ? Know the GB400 well - gloplg here in ch-ch has one - punts it along like a demon - be good weapon with nx650 shoed in - "nice action"


Cheerz for the Pic nordie - classic ! Prob still trucking that XR .....

I LOOOVE the XR backfiring... one of it's endearing qualities really, doesn't quite make up for the 5 speed box, but oh well
