Full suspension service ( new harder springs , oil , bushes , seals ,.... )
All bearings checked regreased and changed where needed
New plastics ( old ones still good but i like them nice and shiney    )

Fresh cooling system fluid
New oil , filter ( again ) plus new screen filter and seals , Xr's only magnetic oil bolt
Xr's only oil level / temperature dipstick
Valve adjustment
Full FMF Q4 system
New seatconcepts seat cover and foam waiting to go on
Acerbiss supertanker and Hodakaguys tank brace ready  for when needed .
Mikuni TM 40 pumper carburettor and fuell filter from Power barn
Some stickers ( i wish i did not bother TBH )
mirrors
fancy red chain rollers
Hamerhead black anodised +15mm gear shifter extension adapter thingy
XR's only front sprocket cover complete
new DID chain and sprockets
Thats it i think unless i have forgotten something

Things left to do -
Fluidine bigger radiators
RAD rear Soft / cush hub wheel with heavy duty stainless spokes
Falicon knife conrod + high compression piston
and some bling to finish it ( i dont think that there is an end to this as there is always something to spend the hard earned on    )

Hopefully this will stop Mauser from whinging about me not posting any pictures   

It would be sweet if there were a few more active posters. I am on here everyday but just got my bike last year and have been doing/learning what I can as I go. I get excited just to have my pig legit and running decent. Now i am trying to get it MINT and sumo it.

I did not think bigger radiators would fit. I heat wrapped my headers and the bottom the radiator is practically sitting on it.

The XRR is a dying breed but there are still some enthusiastic owners left out there , i am here every single day .
You are right about the exhaust pipes sitting right next to the rads , bad design but for some reason very common , wraping and insulating them will help big time with the temps   

oi where is the rest? its summer in the UK, you know   

I'm fed up with trying to upload pics of my xr. Im friggin useless at stuff like that. My new t4 full system arrives tomorrow. I want to show it off . Ive got a 2000 xrr with full hrc kit . Super moto .ally tank. the works . Matilda is 58.7 horse at the back wheel . I ride her like a right pillock . She loves me I love her. . How do I get a pic on here . Can it be explained in daft person terms .

Still work in progress , starting on the electrics this weekend , so little bit nervous

How can you get nervous on a 3 wire loom ?...O wait you have the complicated OTT version I forgot    better get on the phone to NASA Fristies and get some of their techies over here to sort you out..... 
          

Hey does anyone here actually have a stock standard xr650r

Mines pretty much US spec stock, but does have a couple of bling parts...sump guard, case saver, fender bag, XR600R digital trip, fatbars and hand guards   

Mines uncorked and that's pretty much it, if you count that as stock. Still running factory carb and exhaust. Well now that I'm thinking about it I've changed the tank, and side panels to black, and new handle bars. So I guess mines not stock.

Lets say that stock pig has got few little issues that need sorting to make it great   

beaver350 wrote:Hey does anyone here actually have a stock standard xr650r

Stock?
Which one?
The US (Californian) version comes way underpowered (requires de-corking) with anti smog rubbish on (needs removing, if only to make it more reliable and lighter). It also comes without any stuff required to make it roadworthy (needs adding) whilst the standard "light" barely deserves that name (needs replacing with a working unit).

Ergo no, don't think so.
Mind though, have you ever heard of anyone complaining?
Any one, just one?

Me neither

Mines road worthy, I ride it fine on the road   maybe you need to ride something less powerful Burps....

Believe it or not, I actually had one of those.... eons ago but they haven't changed much. 3-speed hand-operated gears with centrifugal clutch, it could actually wheely   

Here is a video that my friend Bart from Poland took with his phone  so the sound quality its not great ,  taken before i have crashed her .
