I’m now the third owner of this beautiful 2004 with 6,500 miles on it!
I love that it’s absolutely stock but i’d like to do some upgrades. I’ve ordered a few things already like a new front sprocket(fritzco super max), bar risers, procycle rally windscreen, small tail light…

I’d like to hear what your go-to upgrades are!

Clogged petcock?

3 Upvotes

So the other day I was riding my 24 XR and it started acting like it was out of gas. But it had nearly a full tank. Was stumbling/dying when trying to rev or accelerate. I turned the petcock to the reserve and it runs perfectly fine. I tested this a few more times and it did the same stumbling/dying and acting like it was out of fuel when it's on the ON setting.

Does this sound like a clogged petcock? I can't really think of anything else.

I missed the bypass around some flooded ruts... K244s and deep slick clay mud don't play well together. The water was about 10 inches deep too lol

Looking for something that just sounds better that doesn't require other mods. If this doesn't exist thats fine too just wanting an answer that isnt hidden in some obscure forum from 2009.

1 year of owning the '25. 40 years on 2 wheels, 30 with blacktop and dirt both under me. Dreamed about an XR in highschool, got distracted for a few decades. So glad I went on a whim and got her last year. I would rather ride it than just about anything else.

Another oil question, I have a Gallon of 15W-40 Shell Rotella T6 in my garage, can I use it in my XR650L ? I’m in Southern California where it doesn’t ever get too cold

Living in Southern California, Temps range from 40F-100F. What full synthetic motor oil should I use, 10W-40 or 10W-50 ? Does it matter ?

Another question about jets

4 Upvotes

Hello all,

Newer owner of an XR and looking to do a few mods (air filter, exhaust, rejet). Just wanting the bike to run a bit cooler and sound better.

I live in Montana and my altitude is about 3500ft. I ride in areas that go up to about 8000ft. Anyone here riding in similar altitudes and what jet kit did you go with? Thanks!


r/XR650L 12d ago

The XR650L manual states they use lean jets for emissions. I would imagine they used regular jets for the XR650R? If so, I Wonder what size jets Honda put in the 650R. At sea level, will Dave’s mod 158/55 correct the lean settings for the 650L?

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

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

Just looking for some advice

6 Upvotes

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.

JNS LED Headlight No Hi-Beam

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hey, so I installed a JNS LED Headlight last year, and the Hi-Beam didn't work. The regular low beam works fine but the Hi-Beam didn't work.

So I emailed them after triple checking that I had installed it correctly.

It was a slog to get a replacement. Like. It took three months or so.. At any rate, I got it replaced. Finally reinstalled the new one and... No hi-beam. Any idea what might be the case?

The hi-beam always worked on the stock headlight.

Any insight is appreciated 🙌

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.*
