 Hey there!I just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks for all the great info I've gleaned from the forums and tech section here. So glad to find a bunch of folks that love their XR's as much as I do. Anyway, I just bought an 01' 650L from a neighbor for $600. It only had 2500 mi. on it, and had been sitting in his garage for years. After a fluid change and a quick check of the valves it fired right up.I next sought out info on uncorking this pig, which is when I found 4 strokes.com. I have since done the Daves's carb mod, removed the smog junk, removed the snorkle, added a UNI filter, ground the headers, added a White Bros e series silencer, a Clarke tank, and some MT21's. So far so good! Next up, I'm looking at adding an oil cooler and getting rid of the bulky bodywork on it. Looking forward to sharing and getting to know you all here. Again, thanks for all the great info you've shared! Cheers
Oh yeah, and if any of you live in the Santa Cruz area I'm always looking for someone to ride with! christophertait@gmail.com |
