  • Hot summer ride!
    The Honda XR650L is the picture of versatility. Off-road, it dominates the trail with the right combination of power, suspension and durability. And when you’re on the road, its light overall weight, electric starter and excellent fuel efficiency make it great for commuting or even long trips.
    While the graphics will catch the eye, what really sets the XR650L apart is its ultra-tough 644cc overhead cam engine that has torque and power to spare. And because it’s air-cooled, it’s easy to maintain. Plus, the engine’s gear-driven counter balancer reduces tiring vibrations, so you can ride comfortably for hours on end.
    Monster trail or monster commute, the XR650L has got you covered.

    So I have been practicing being a “stand up guy” and riding slow. What the heck!! I was wore out and sweating. Wheeling feels very awkward. Thank you for making me challenge myself.

      Your bike may not be set-up for standing position as well. I have a little taller bars to make standing position more comfortable and slightly forward helps also! Standing is much easier on your back through the rough stuff!

      @@HeddleTown Maybe there is a TMT segment on handle bar set up and risers to set up for standup riding (unless there is one and I haven't seen it). I bought my 07 XR already modified pretty much the way I would want it already. One thing I never messed with is handlebars on any of my bikes, I just accepted what was on it.

    I like the old XR s I rode a 600 for 20 plus years made it a 640 .
    It was great until I rode a new KTM that felt like half the weight

    You seem to have your xr650L all dialed in and running great! I am picking mine up next week and am wondering what mods you have done to yours that you’ve been happy with. Also, what elevation are you at? Do you know what jetting works for your bike?

    Great vid/content friend! I own a 94' frame with 01' motor XR650L that has been bored over and redone completely and is hard to start most of the time. Has OEM CV carb with bigger jet kit. Interested in adding kickstart and/or possibly FCR carb in the future to help with starting? Not sure if owner added de compression in cam. Curious on your thoughts on that. Love my 650L out of all my bikes but don't trust it to ride far even though I keep a jump box on hand lol.

    • @HeddleTown
      @HeddleTown  6 місяців тому +2

      The FCR carb is the best upgrade.. often they dont start because the starter uses alot of the volts to turn over stealing power from the CDI & ECU thats why they often fire as soon as you let go up the starter button! A really good lithium battery often helps I use Fire Power battery for a KTM 690! (same size).
