XR650R New Owner.. LET THE FUN BEGIN IN.. The North East

hey Lads just bought a XR650R 03. It has been stood in a garage for about 5 years and only done 3000 miles.. I have been looking to restore it in the last couple of days although i cannot find anything on ebay within the uk because everything comes from the united states. Just wondering if any of you guys on here know of any websites i can restore parts like handlebars, plastics, graphics, exhaust, airfilter etc etc cheers !!!!!!

Welcome...what you mean you cannot find any websites within the UK....try google our site is number 1....

Hi welcome , from sunny North east   , the exhaust should be easy to sort out , have it sand blasted and repainted with heat resistant paint , take all the wheelbearings and suspension bearings out soon as possible and give them some grease , take the chain adjuster screws out and give them plenty of grease , copperslip works best ( this is a must trust me   ) , take the carbie apart and give it a good cleaning , keep eye on the oil level some xr's are drinking oil , oil change never hurts and of course good clean and oiled air filter ,.... that willl do for the starts   , let us know if you need some help , and i have some spare parts too .

I have just returned from Westgate road , needed new jacket and gloves , also to check out the Kawa Z1000SX  , God i like it  

aye frosty well its not my first bike ive had a few. so restoring it should be a piece of cake..

Keep us updated about the progress
