Hace poco corri en una xr600 del año 88 y la verdad tan mal no quede, de echo el motor es inmortal y durisimo, claro las suspensiones han mejorado dramaticamente a la fecha....XR600 Rocks!!!!
Fuckin noobs. Ever heard of fork seals wearing out on long endurance races because they are always in the dirt and sand? The whole world aint a groomed supercross track.
Nitrodrums75 .... This is what you can do..and get super results...Have LA Sleave make it into a 710cc , then a pipe...K&N Filter...and finally a XR650 HRC Bullet Cam...Very reliable..You'll be on a different bike should put out i'd say 47 HP. You'll like it..I did this once before my XR650R.
way to lean you need a bigger main jet or carb ,those things make that snapping sound when theyre to lean...but the good news is it will run even better at 10,000 feet elevation
no, you are very wrong, they make that 'snapping sound' wich is actually popping becuase of backfire, (too much fuel wich means the bikes too RICH) he needs a smaller jet and needs to run it leaner. NOT richer.
I used my XR for commuting, supermoto track days, off roading, everything. I thrashed the crap out of it for 13,000 miles and with the exception of the clutch bearing and a seal, it was faultless. A CRF would have been though 4 total rebuilds by 13,000 miles and wouldn't have done what I needed it to do, i.e. get me to work with a smile without all the hassle of a new piston every 10 hours.
Stock 650R is roughly 42 HP..Uncorked they run 53 HP..With the full hop up HRC your looking at 63 HP at the rear wheel..In short very fast...Thats what i have and it way faster than my CR500..
Still can't beat a XR650R. If your in shape it's the best bike for all around use period. I have an Aprilia RXV 550 and my xr680r is still faster and more reliable and only 20lbs heavier.
Yep, it's an XR650R. Never had trouble myself with the buckles. Biggest mistake I made selling that bike, it rocked! 13,000 miles, trackdays, off roading, commuting. Ran it on Halfords Basic mineral oil, changed every 600 miles. Great bike.

@hendrixjon Because CRF450's suck. XR650's, both R's and L's, are the shit.

Every bike will backfire on the dyno, proper jetting or not.

And how does the main jet limit fuel when the needle is all the way in the hole on decel?

Popping on a closed throttle is idle jet, change it to the 68s idle jet. (if you dont get the S it will still pop when you close the throttle)

Nah, Vertemati, bad BAD move, thing exploded after a couple of hundred miles, I spent £900 on a rebuild then swapped it for a Montesa 315R. The
Vert exploded on the new owner within weeks. Poor oil supply to the bottom end on early Verts I guess.

nice bike Captain! I guess u sold it for a Katoom...?

Popping on a closed throttle is idle jet, didn't have a bigger one so left it. Most open pipe supermotos pop like buggery anyway.
CaptainCropper 4 years ago
No, You have an after market exhaust. It's too lean when the spark is retarded.
Go up one on the main and it will stop popping.
Hell you got a dyno, try it. Bet you even get a little more out of it.

Too lean!
You need to go up one on the main jet.
Then all that back fire and popping will go away.
