I foud it!!

Hey!! I finly found a XR 650 R to restore! She need some cosmetics, but the mechanical side is solid!

Im in south east New Mexico, with no one to ride with!

Hey Welcome - enjoy the project!

Thanks Skid, I got the tank "de-oxidized" and looking rad again (it a Clark 4.??) and orderded a Uni-filter for it, finnished un corking.
I think tis thing had the original air filter!! Took it for a run around the block and couldnt keep the front wheel down! SWEET!!
Next is some new bars, grips and seat.

The Clarke tank is 4.3 US gal. Depending on your weight and riding skill/style you may change the rear shock, I went with an Eibach 11.5. The stock gearing is 14/48 but for some that's too low especially the duel sport/motard guys. I run 15/48 and she gets along just fine but my bike, a 2003 brp is set up for off road stuff only. It would be nice to dual sport it but here in Kalifornia it's difficult if not immpossible to get a brp 2003 and up plated. Enjoy the brp, if you ever get near Norcal I'll ride with you.

Welcome and have fun.
