Hey all My pulse generator is not working anymore (reading shows open circuit). Honda charges R1 030 for a new one and has to order it from Japan (6 weeks!). Does anyone know of someone that is selling second-hand parts for the XRL? Cheers Francois

I fitted an XRR CS Sprocket while waiting for my FritzCo. I had to remove a few fractions of a millimeter to get it on, but it worked. Chain alignment was only slightly out. But yes, you can get the Fritzcos at DirtBike Africa. It works perfectly.

My wife and I did it on 200 cc Chinese bikes (Motomias) in 2012. 15500km over 3 months, no issues. Parts are available for cheap EVERYWHERE (even Ethiopia and Sudan). We had a KLR650 (2007) and a BMW F650ST back them, and I still believe it would not have been easier on the bigger 650s. Most...

Hi tested the 14t and 15t with a 45 rear. Measure fuel consumption over 100 km (same out and back route), and posted my thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cND0tduiWG4 I actually enjoy the 14/45 ratio, but I mostly play close to home.

My 2012 XR650L with 14000km may be for sale in about two months' time.  If you are interested, I can send you pics and more info.

Hey all, When I bought the bike there was no Fritzco sprockets available in the country, so I fitted an XR650R sprocket in the meantime (BTW, https://dirtbikeafrica.com/ now has stock of the Fritzco's and I will fit mine soon). When I fitted the XRR sprocket, I had to remove about 1mm from the...

I am a cheapskate, so I made my own XR650L chain slider:  :pot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0LgAWSXUyU

Hey all I was in a rush and broke my air/fuel mixture screw  :crybaby2: Does anyone know where I can find this part separately, or do I have to buy the carb kit for R600? Thanks in advance!

Legends Vleishaas!! ek sal julle site gaan check! Hoe lank het julle gery en hoeveel kms?

Wow, I am jealous!! Haven't done it on a bike yet, but in a Nissan Sani. In the car it wasn't that bad going down and if you have enough to drink (water during day and cold beers at night) in the back-up vehicle and take it slowly you'll be fine. Damnit, I', jealous!!!

The next chapter is a surprise..  :pot: The bikes are on their way to Cpt on a ship. Johan Badenhorst of the Voetspore team offered for us to load them in his containers with the Amaroks. THat was very generous of him. I apologise to all the people I've promised an RR. Haven't forgotten yet...

Also check the side stand cut-out. But probably not that if the lights are all out. My wife's Funduro was dead because of the stupid little plastic nob (1mm thick) on the switch broke off.

great thread, subscribed!

I heard the WR's valve clearance doesn't have to be set like the Honda, so cheaper to run, but cannot confirm

I did the upgrade and now the gps doesn't switch on anymore  ???
