Powerbarn -
Good guy, helpful and delivery here in Oz was about as quick as most things are from the USA
He will/should have some benchmark settings by now.
Has had a fair amount of feedback from a number of us re settings/altitude & engine config.
Mine was reasonably close for a stock motor/side cover/exhaust etc.
Moved the needle one clip and changed pilot & airscrew otherwise as good as I can tell.
Starts/runs OK
Plenty info on the Edddy vs TM40 thread

That's awesome. Put a lot of miles on my 650R too and am approaching 10,000 on the KTM that replaced it. Only hope it's half as reliable as the BRP. So far so good. Who else has a high-mileage XR?

The 4.6 gallon IMS fits a Spal 4", the 7g does not.
As an aside, the KTM-fan is a Spal in a shroud.

In ten 11+ year I have run my xr650r I have tried to do the valves every 800 to 1000 miles and oil. at 40k+ with out a rebuilt from new. if you are going to do some thing take the time to do it Right

I have about 40,000 KM on mine. Oil changed every 2000 KM on trips, and valves checked/adjusted every 4000.


I wasn't talking a sumo fender. Those things are just plain ass ugly. I run a CRF450 fender. Takes some trimming in the back area, but in my opinion it looks 100x better then any sumo or stock fender.

I found them for $250 each from amazon, remote choke, main jet was retarded big, but I dropped it about 25 sizes to get it to come off idle...I was gonna lean them out on all the circuits, but it's pretty good with the smaller mains.


Edit; this is the place I got my TM40's, the remote choke model makes it a TM40-6 and the "stock" photos that everybody on amazon is using is of another carb, NOT the TM40-6. You can convert the remote choke to a simple plunger, parts from Sudco on that.

I got these when buying the above item.

This may be a revisit. New brp (2001) to me. Dualsport with baja designs kit. Hit 6200 rpms and the bike would fall on its face. In all gears. Totally cut out. Back to 5000 rpms and pick up again. After much investigation, the usual fuel, no, air, no, electrical, started unplugging things one at a time, voila, the vapor computer power wire was connected to the ignition system. Must have been robbing needed electricity. Moved it to an accessory (blinker) wire and: Once again the monster of motorcycles. Durable to the extreme. Good news. I got a deal on a brp that used not to go over 70 mph. Though not the only reason he sold it. Took a chance that I could fix that. The accumulation of knowledge is a wonderful thing. Think about it, most of what we know someone else figured out. Thanks for sharing. Glad to share. Cheers!

Are Ironman sprockets my best choice for sprockets on a dual sported XRR? A lot of street riding and gravel roads.

[BuRPsa]

I think so, got them too. Steel's best, lasts longest, and the Ironman rear's probably the lightest steel sprocket around.


To all: as this may well be my last post for this year, our annual shutdown period coming up, a good silly season wished to all!
