thanks, the tank is a result of putting a tear in my valdez, and the XRL seat wouldn't work with that tank because it's off a 600 and something just wasn't right. The rear fender is off one of the 600's also.

Judoka form the xR600 thread is coming down next weekend to do some famous baja stuff. Prolly going to take him to La Presa Rodriguez (32.427055,-116.892185). Maybe do a trail I've wanted to do since last Ancianos Tecate Enduro, Starts here (32.500079,-116.588116) and ends here(32.504422,-116.676228) or thereabouts.

Anyone have some tracks they wanna share? and anyone is welcome.

Odd. I have had both the XR600R and XR650L The tanks and seats were the same on them and I have interchanged them before.

Thanks and Happy New Year!!

I just looked at the XRL and CRF wheels. Both are 1.60. The difference is that the XRL rim is thicker material for being a street bike. The CRF is thinner for being a RACE bike.

Hope I'm not being a Post Whore by answering these type of questions...

It may have had something todo with the bigger tank, and the angle. But there was a gap in the horn of the seat, so... swapped.

Not any more than me

, thanks for clearing that up.

The 600R also has the same rim as the XRL... and I haven't wrecked it yet, but I have very little experience with the 450R wheel and don't really want to run it if I'm going to trash it.

is there a case saver/guard for the xr650l to keep the shifter from doing it's damage? i can't seem to find one...

beechum1 · 01-01-2012, 06:57 PM

I remember seeing something somewhere about a bolt that is a quick release connection to drain the oil.... I did a change today and got oil all over the bash guard, which means, all of the F. I've found a few that are for cars specifically, but seen a bit too high profile and I'd be scurred to run them, like the fram sure drain and the Fumoto valve.

Want something lo-pro but easy as pie.

I bought my stator cover saver on eBay from forum member AKARob.

However, I don't know if he is still selling them.
