1 year later...

vs the day I brought her home.

Feels good to bring this ol gal back to life, and put some miles on it.

Piston, cylinder, valves, timing chain, skid plate, 4.5 gal tank, bars and offset risers, rear shock rebuilt with stiffer coil, precision concepts forks with stiffer coils, dual headlights, seat cover, plastics, graphics, rear fender brace....all the stuff.

Still needs a few other things, as it always will. But hot damn, I love this bike. Shes a keeper.

Edit to add: I did not do the top end or rear shock myself, and dont want to give the impression I did. I paid a professional for that. I know my limits.

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.*

Jetting help?

Hello, I have a xr650r that’s a hard starter.

Here’s some information:
-takes multiple good kicks to get running hot or cold.
-runs pretty good once running. Maybe a little anemic in the upper rpm range and seems to run hot.
-valves where just adjusted and it still starts the same.
-air box is opened up, exhaust is stock
-fuel and idle screw both 1 3/4 out
Main jet was a 175. I’ve tried 172-178
-pilot is a 68s
-needle is set at 3rd clip
-I’m at sea level

All of my jet combos a of air/ fuel screw fiddling don’t seem to have changed how this thing wants to start.

Any suggestions and where is the best source of info on these? All google searches bring up thumper talk, adv rider and smjunkie but the faq’s aren’t helping diagnose
