It is not a tractor. Do not pull your buddy's ktm with your xrr. Unless you want to replace your wrist pin often. It is not a tractor, it is a motorcycle, and its built to go rather fast as such. The oil jet will not spray the small end when it needs it the most. Kind of like your wife and/or girlfriend.
Set it lower, that is so that it shuts of with less fuel in the bowl. Mine would run on its side with the stock unit. Get a filter.
What carb? what jets? What exactly are you adjusting? Increase revs with choke sounds like a lean condition. Backfires during engine braking? Starts easy when cold, sounds like its rich. Hell if I know. Hanging idle can be valvles. It seems like mine does this when I get on the lean side.
The slide in the carb is hanging up. Or the linkage in the carb is war out . I change my carb to a tm40 and problem is gone.
Im running 78s 175, poweerup needle on the 3rd clip. Mine will still backfire on hard engine braking.
Looking for tire options for the xr650r dual sport. I ride about 50/50, singletrack woods and pavement, I am currently running a chen shin front and a mt43 rear.
i run these for street and dirt rd's http://www.google.com.au/imgres?img...k-UZuMC4-HmQXO7IGgCQ&ved=0CDwQ9QEwAg&dur=3364 brilliant tire front is ok on the dirt ... but it does move around a bit ...rear is very good i got over 5,000 miles on my last rear and still running the same front with a new rear
Just about every carb issue that I've ever had has been cured with a disassemble, clean, and reassemble. Blow carb cleaner and compressed air through every port after removing the jets. It takes less than an hour to do the entire XRR carb from start to finish. I did the carb on my XR100 in 15 min yesterday. After that I did the entire bank of carbs on a non-running FZR400 that I picked up for cheap recently. Supposedly the carbs had been completely disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, and then reassembled but the guy still couldn't get it to run. I was able to make it run by adding gas directly to the carbs and keeping revs above 5K so I knew I had a carb issue. I stripped them down yesterday, found a pilot screw WAY out of adjustment, and four plugged pilot jets. It runs AWESOME now. I doubled its value with 2 hours of work yesterday. Just take your time, use a clean, organized work space, and have at it. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
What racks do u boys use for the XRR. My Rack it / pro moto billet alu rack broke on the weekend with not a heavy duffel on. My GL cayote is in the post.
Looking at tires.. 50/50 riding.... I don't know if I can beat the mt 43 for the rear. Will need a front though. looking at irc t8 battle rally.
I kinda like this rack.But i'm kinda partial to the stuff i build. It is hell for stout! It has threaded inserts for fuel can mounts and all kinds of slots for bungees etc.
No C, that's Tau, a hooligan of note, his tank a Safari which looks close enough. But Beserker (organiser) & me (and maybe others here?) were there too, have a look here http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=119585.0 Yeah, mostly Afrikaans comments but then this is a local forum. Pics are universal though, should give an idea about the stunning landscape we were in. This is in the Cederberg mountains and Tankwa Karoo, quite close to Cape Town... nudge nudge. I started off with a nigh-on new Maxxis Deset IT rear, the chicken strips on the side still on as the previous Botswana-sand trip left them 'new'. They have chuncked quite a bit, are squarish now and are less than half, the result of rocky terrain & chasing certain hooligans in the group During the ride I remembered briefly that awful 'dual sport' front tyre I had on during our ride. Remind me to never ever ride with such a slick again please, proper front grip rules!
Tau, as you've seen I had the same rack on, plus GL Coyote. This rack spreads the bag in a good way so as to keep it away from the exhaust, a must as I burnt a hole in it when riding with Crypto (on a 450EXR) around Nevada. Mind though, you'll have to thread the GL's rear metal clamps through the rack itself so that they hook on the side-rails (as the straps are too short for reaching the fender) but then it sits like a glove - plus, in this way the forces are spread nicely over the entire subframe. With your new inserts now in I'd fix (weld up) that rack and use it, however I'd put spacers in there where they are needed (like mine has, forgot to show you. PM me? I'll send some pics) so as to minimize the bending stresses by merely screwing it on the bike (making the fit tailormade instead of just yanking the bolts hence bending it). If you don't like this idea then ManRacks (a member here) makes racks, I'm sure he can help you.
every 1 loves a pick of a pig we also like vids as well got a light <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/q9hltfSQJUI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Must say Sean, that looks very good! First time I see this silencer other than on their website - how does it ride, any gains maybe?
smart of the line .. pulls a bit harder ... will know fa sure in a week or 2 .. ill dyno it again shoots a nice flame tho
