Riding new XR from Alabama to Miami.
Just got this new xr and noticed this at a gas station. Right at 1000 miles. What could it be? Doesn’t look like oil to me. Coming from drive shaft

Just looking for some advice
I ride my XR a considerable amount of miles on the highway as it is my daily commuter. Recently I checked the oil and the dump is bone dry. I know they can be prone to oil burning issues and I know highway speeds are not the forte of this beast. For context the bike only has about 2000 miles. Does anyone have some insight.
Ps. This post is purely curious, it’s going to the shop asap.

Countershaft spline after 3,600 miles
Today, I’m finally doing the Fritz sprocket replacement on the XR650L. The picture is how the spline looked right before I put on the new sprocket. I mainly do highway riding very few trails, but the bike is pushed more on the aggressive end.

Some new upgrades for the XR
Pirelli MT21 in the front, Dunlop D606 130 not the stock 120, IMS pegs and double take mirrors. I’m loving these tires. Tons more grip off road than the stock ones. I did need to cut off some of my chain protector thingy because the wider tire rubbed a tiny bit

What’s this front fender, or available equivalent?
It’s a xr600r but I like the fenders, the motard and crf fenders don’t cut it.
I found PA01014-041 and not one photo of it installed.
Thanks for any help, leave your comment and go ride your pig today, *you don’t have a yard to not do wheelies in it.*

I have a stock 2024 xr650l. If I de-smog, de-snorkel, add aftermarket exhaust and aftermarket air filter, I know it will need re-jetting. What jets are good for sea level altitude ?
XRLand youtube channel has a great how-to video on the topic. I’m capable of doing the carb work but it will be my first time I’d like to not have to keep taking the bike apart. Add the right jets the first time and be done with it. Thanks in advance

MPG report
I led a neighbor on their first dual sport ride with their new to them KLX230. We did some pavement to some gravel, then a bit of “light trails” which is actually a road that’s just not cared for and would rather not take anything besides a truck/suv that’s either 4x4 or at least locked. I filled up after 58mi and it took barely over 1gal. That’s the best I’ve gotten since I brought it home bone stock brand new.
Generally I am switching to reserve around 70mi.
Turns out my wrist IS the biggest economy killer 🤪
I have a 130 rear knobby, 14/48 (IIRC) but otherwise stock motor/carb - nothing else changed or removed besides bar risers.

New (to me) XR650L
Picked up this 2024 XR today. Has 990 miles. Runs amazing and is such a blast to ride. I was impressed with the power this thing has. I own a FE501s as well, and like I said...very impressed with the power of the XR!

Rack added!
Rack added. Just 3 bolts to remove it for trail days. Got a little red tool bag coming. Still no pass pegs. This thing rips. Gonna lace in a new front rim as soon as I find a match. After so much time being in pieces for engine repair, I'm so thrill it sits narrow in the garage on my center stand. Gonna be a killer weekend. Cheers

Should I change the rims?
I love the look of the rims but its a pain in the ass getting tires and parts for it. I need spokes and cant find them anywhere. Should I get the oem ones? Also my rear shock it’s done. Should i get another OEM or do you recommend another one? Thanks

TM40 Flatslide Pumper Carb, worth it?
90% offroad/single track/50" ORV trails. Ride the bike like a pure enduro/trail bike. I only really ride pavement to get to the trails. My build is pretty much complete: Dave Mod, 55/160 Jetting, Uni Filter, FMF Exhaust, Snorkel Delete, and De-smog. Is the Pumper Carb worth the upgrade? How significant a difference will I notice?
Posted my bike here before but it's really the only mod I don't have. I already have suspension gold valves/resprung/tires/rim locks/tank/bars/risers/ etc etc. and I'm wondering if it's worth the upgrade for the $$$
Everything I read/watch says it's a huge upgrade, but what kind of performance is it in real life? Throttle response? More power/torque down low/mid range?

Anyone used this phone mount?
I’ve been looking for something minimalistic that is compatible with the 7/8” bars on my XR650L. I want to keep the phone as centered as possible without some super tall mount (feel like most mounts are aesthetically ugly). Seems like the bar pad would give a little bit of vibration dampening as well. Anyone have any experience with this mount?
