    Sure, but, I have to ask, are you over the " used helmet paranoia" thing? The last time I sold you a helmet the result was a disinfectant soap shortage in your area.

    It's called " less emissions" .
    I'll tell ya, something is up with this planet.
    Get this, here it is MAY 5th and it was 42 DF here in HOUSTON, TEXAS.
    That's NEVER happened.
    I've lived here all my life and never seen this low temp. this later in the year.

    Sure, just like the old ones.

    Hey man when I moved my bike to a 96 frame from an 06 I couldn't get it to start so I ran though everything. It was running fine before I parked it and started moving it to the new frame. Not one piece of electronics checked out withing spec. I was was using a calibrated fluke multimeter and I work on electronics a LOT. So it wasn't my test equipment or my method that was off. After I figured out that I put a washer back in the wrong place in the starter gears and fixed it, it started right up. I tried different CDI's and a few other components with the same results. I think of the electrical specs for these bikes as a guide more than a requirement. Now if you get an open or a short in the wrong place that's another story...

    I dont know who wrote teh trouble shooting bit as the neutral and kickstand are on the same circuit to the cdi yet they have you test them individually which is impossible because one will throw the other off:huh

    Looks like what I got. thought it was 2 inch but it probably was 3. Made a difference for what I needed. Come to think of it, I didn't have a whole lot of problem until I re-routed the cable because I added an XR400 oil cooler. You be able to get by without the longer clutch cable. You may want to try it first and then decide from there.

    Just for reference does anyone know how much the crf450r forks rises the front of the XR650L from its stock height. I have no reference as I did not have the stock configuration with this bike.

    Interesting I was under the impression the 450 forks made the front ride height rise.

    I have cr250r forks which I think are the same as 450. factory connection had me set the height a fewmm above the top triple
