[UNDERTAKER890]

dude my friend has the first xr500 and it still runs well

[GilbertLeoKTM]

I feel for you fella

Mine went bang too.Nothing more than shit happens.All the crap about them being bullet proof/bomb proof is BS

Was a lot cheaper to repair than my friggin husky when that went bang.

[BigManlyMan4]

everything isnt bullet proof.

[ambergerftriley]

mine went down a while back, my valve cam blew a bearing and wore into the head . it then overheated and streched the piston shaft, scored the cylinder and blew all the seals in the gear box. a new engine, cdi box, and a few small parts later, its about to run again. just waitin on a stator coil

[elsocioyepeto]

Is the engine hot? Has the bike something of gas?

[Northukbikers]

@elsocioyepeto it was :)

[Harbercraftguy]

first one ever!

[analog4css]

[noooohay]

@Northukbikers

B.A. has spoken!

[RickOAA]

That engine is in a relatively high state of tune for an air cooled motor. They're notorious for overheating when run hard, the cylinder head cracking between valves, dropping/cracking valve seats, and other ailments.

It was meant to be an offroad racer and won't last as long as a dual-sport or roadbike.

None of the competition machines tend to be long lasting, regardless of where or who's making it. I think the liquid cooled XR650R is the only exception, and even that has it's own issues.

[ActizoL]

every xr is a very long lasting bike!!!

[Northukbikers]

Actually I just moved it so it wouldnt fall over. - never mind eh!

[IIPegLegII]

LoL! He tried the old kickstand down, kickstand up trick! Rarely works, but ALWAYS worth a try!

[mankindsdisease]

Ha, what is that?

[Skierfe]

haha ;D

[SgtZekeAnderson]

Connecting Rod. It's the rod that holds the piston to the crankshaft. Sometimes they just break despite proper lubrication and care. Not much you can do about it unfortunately.

[Northukbikers]

conrod u fool.

[Northukbikers]

laraki - it was full of oil, and had been serviced just 3 days before, - so no stupidity involved - the only thing stuipid is ur comment and failure to read the ones below!

[NigHtCruzeR247]

looks like there wasnt too much life left in her any way lol she had a few war wounds thts for sure...

[Northukbikers]

It had a hard life, ex race bike, then, hammered by a loony called Gunny, then hammered buy me, but I spent loads on servicing and oil, - age related.

[SgtZekeAnderson]

I am a certified tech. Sometimes rods just let go, nothing you can do about it, it's just simple metal fatigue. Sorry to see this happen, I get buggered-up engines in the shop all the time, usually from a thrown rod; causes too much damage to save. :(

[streetskaten]

you drive on the left side of the rode in UK? never knew that

[darkmaxuy]

Please guys tell me what do you think about yamaha DT 175 !! i own one !! please tell meeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Northukbikers]

Small 2 stroke, - reliable, probaly fun up to 80mph :)

[banderse]

[StViperGts]

xr iss kult. 5 stars lg

[Northukbikers]

What do you own then mr daftname twat?

[Northukbikers]

where ya from?

[srabl22]

I have one XR600R 94` but I don`t understand what happen with your engine, the time was wrong? or was oil less?

[Northukbikers]

Conrod broke as described below, plenty of oil in it.

[UnitedOffensiveIII]

did it blow a hole thru the cases ? they have rebuilt rod kits they are not that expensive

[castanol]

dude, change da oil every once in a while and it will run forever. Bulletproof, not idiotproof.

[Northukbikers]

It had an oil change and filter change just 2 weeks before and I topped it up with oil just before going out that day!!! , yes, proper oil, not crap, and no it didn't "run forever"

Its now dead my friend.

[Northukbikers]

sod that - dont want a blandit!

[adyclipper]

you should have got a suzuki

[Northukbikers]

Can't find one for love or money!

[fatmeteor]

Can you buy a second hand motor for it?

[Northukbikers]

Nope, but if you need anything else other than the engine, I have most bits..........

[ibuiltmineo1oo]

I want your tires and wheels for my xr600r!

[kempouk]

i got my self an 88 xr600 this week, any of you guys got a set of rear pegs hanging around you want to sell eh.

[BubbaZanetti666]

i knw how u feel,smae thing happoind too mine.gr8 bike.

[Northukbikers]

Conrod and piston parted company mate, struck each other and it went bang

[memikeyd]

How did it die? I've heard they're really reliable and am moving up to one next month but this is slightly worrying!! I have the xr125 (check my video) and it's never broken down and I ride it from devon to hertfordshire and back every couple of weeks and commute daily.. great bike!

[Northukbikers]

Got meself a FMX650 :) Sorry to hear about urs dude........

[kempouk]

i lost my xr to some thieving pikey cunt in london uk, at least your's died in your arms.

i miss my baby so much,,,

hope your new one is awesome.
