The FZ isn't any fun on Bubby roads. Wish you still had yours. Lots of cool Single lane roads down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Lee from OMRL has an old XL650 for sale. Not 100% sure it's street legal, but I could ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Seen one pop up on FB the other day that said it was a project bike, so I continued reading and it said it need a frame and the bottom of the motor had a crack in the case. So was like in other words you have a basket of parts? Edited February 3, 2017 by 2talltim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said solid beater. Not concerned with how pretty it is because it's going to be ugly when I'm done with it. More concerned that it's been well-maintained Edited February 3, 2017 by max power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 KLR's can usually be found very cheap..probably the least off-road oriented of the dual sport bikes but a few changes and help that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I just saw that one as well and was going to post it. XR650L's are street legal from the factory so unless somewhere along the way the title was lost and resissued as an off-road vehicle, it should be good to go. Ohio is one of the easiest states to street title an off-road vehicle so don't let that stop you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio is one of the easiest states to street title an off-road vehicle so don't let that stop you. The asking price is in line as long as there aren't any surprises to disqualify it from being street legal. I always pause a little when I see an overbore because that means someone went out of their way to add power, and not just with the cheap mods (lifting the needle, richening the idle circuit, etc.). If they did it right and used quality components, I wouldn't worry, but there are a lot of carb butchers and shit kits out there that could spell heartache later. Don't commit to buying until you hear it start cold, warm up and ride at all RPMs and you go through all the gears on a test ride. A bike this age will have been through plenty. I have a 1991 250cc model overbored to 280cc and like the XR650L, it' solid, has plenty of power for its intended use and is cheap to buy parts for as long as there aren't any frame or bottom end problems. Service intervals are long, so they're easy to maintain and the 650 is plenty strong for both single track and highway. Neither are comfortable for long road rides and they have reputations for being cold blooded - my XR250L can hardly be kickstarted under 45-50 degrees.

ScubaCinci Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 The great news is, I think the XRL is pretty much unchanged since 1993 so parts are plentiful and generally cheap. Very easy to work on too...no valve shims and easy to access. I hate valve shims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to work on too...no valve shims and easy to access. I hate valve shims. Me too. They're supposedly more stable but man, they're a PIA when you don't own the exact shim you need. I'd rather spend 20 extra minutes getting the nuts adjusted just right than calculating and hunting down shims for a day (or more if you can't buy them locally). That said, I had an oh-shit moment last fall when the previous owner didn't torque the nuts down enough. One intake ran completely off and another intake ran half way up the post. Thankfully the one nut dropped inertly into the valve cover, and XR engines tough as tanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Still looking. Leaning towards XR400 as it shares the same engine as my quad. Anyone have any any experience with any of the Chinese enduros? Seem to be really cheap on CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm putting my street-legal '91 XR250L up for $1500 soon. Has aggressive new tires and heavy duty tubes, new steering bearings, fresh valve adjustments, new fluids, 280cc overbore kit, mikuni pumper flat slide carb, 3 gallon Clarke tank, trail gearing, white brothers exhaust and adjustable alloy brake and clutch perches and levers. She's kick only, seeps a tiny bit of oil at the rocker cover gasket and resists starting below 50 degrees, but once warm, pulls strong and does biways into Wayne no problem. Let me know if you want pics before an ad goes up in a week or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 picked this up from smccroy. Exactly what I was looking for. He represented the bike well and was great to deal with. Gonna have a blast with this thing. Hell yeah! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
