What a beauty mate, I love the old school xr's they are just so cool looking, 100% better looking the a new crf, if I hadn't fell in love with my tt350 I'd want to be riding an old school xr
thanks for the compliment Lee!!!! yes the old school xr's are a kick in the pants!!! damn I have a tt350!! if you watch my other videos you can check it out..
Killer! Nice job. Smoke at start-up on these bikes is many times the oil pump ball valve. Sorry - can't remember the exact name for it. Harley's do it, too. Oil leaks past them when sitting and over fill the sump.
hey man I just picked up an 84' xr500r but cant get it to start, its a nice ass bike was garage stored and everything, It has spark im thinking the carbs are fucked up or something any input?
Hi, i've got exactly the same bike. Bought mine without any oil in it whatsoever. Put in oil and it runs perfectly! I'm just not sure about what oil it needs. No synthetic I guess, considering it's age. Do you know? Nice vid by the way!
hello, thanks for the compliment and yes you could run synthetic even in the older engines.. it wont harm anything and it wont effect the clutch.. just use a good motorcycle synthetic oil not automobile oil.. the motorcycle oils have a higher shear rating because of the higher rpm's.. wow, that sounds like a score you got there and it was just add oil and go!! LOL.. that's cool.. thanks for watching the video..
You're videos would be much better if we seen you riding it and here it running and revving properly instead of just sitting there ticking over on idle ! !
I got this bike from Navy Seabee and it is a wonderful running and riding XR and the smoking is clearing up every run, good guy
What did you think of the KDX-450? that was mine!! Allen
OH YES FORGOT TO SAY THE BIKE CAME WITH A COMPLETE SUPERTRAPP EXHAUST, EVEN THE HEADER!! COOL..

Nice bike! I'd love you see you ride her and hear her run!
Yes it's a heavy sucker but at least the engine makes up for the weight with the amount of torque it puts out

How is the weight on this one ? I remember them being kind of heavy bikes for trail riding.
