Performance Cycle (Tucson, AZ) offered me 1,000 for it and they have a 2011 630te with an fmf, and a scott's stabilizer and the bike has 1000 miles on it (asking 6000 plus fees ) so 5000 with the trade in. Do you guys think that is a good deal?

I'd say "go for it!" ...but, I am biased.

If you got the bucks then it's a no brainer. You won't really 'get it' 'till you get it.

That would be a good deal- in my opinion foolish to pass up. The old XR is no doubt a durable machine known for longevity, but the reality is that at 22K the thing has a limited life and you'd be pressed to get much in excess of 1K for it if you try to sell it. With the TE's getting harder to come by (new or very low mileage) I'd leap on it.

I bought the ibeat and have it all hooked up and FI/electrical seem to check OK. but:
What is the cranking rpm?
the timing when cranking?
pulse width?

where can I find this info?
maybe this is off

Its very hard to start hot or cold. Mostly it just cranks and cranks and wont start, then by chance you give it 1 more try and it will fire right up. Run it 1 minute or two hours shut it off and wont start all over again.

Could the auto compression thing cause this??
Would tight valves cause this? only has 400 miles. Dont these valves get loose with wear?

With only 400 miles I'd be suspicious of bad fuel being the culprit.
The bike has been sitting for quite some time it would seem.

Fresh fuel, all the simple stuff has been checked.

The bike was most likely assembled in late 2010. That's a guess, but maybe you see where I'm going.
Fresh fuel in the tank is great, but is there a chance things are gummed up inside the pump or the injection?
I'm always more reluctant to buy a no mile bike than one that has been used on a regular basis for reasons like you describe.
Good luck!

But it does run good once you get it started. Not much to gum up in FI.

Really happy with my 630! let us know what you decide.

You're getting the 2 second fuel prime on the key? If not a gummed fuel pump is the most likely culprit if it has been sitting for a long time and it is taking a bit longer than the 2 seconds to get the pump moving. A little carb cleaner will usually clear it (don't soak it), but if it is a persistent problem then it'd be a new pump.

Excellent bike, probably the best d/s I've owned - but now that I have the Stelvio I've been considering a lighter offroad bike.

IMO it's a no brainer. That bike has around 1500$ worth of farkle. Do it!

how do you get $1500 from a Scotts damper and an FMF slipon?

Adds up quick. Scotts $550, FMF $540, Uptite skid plate $210, barkbusters $80. That's $1,380 so pretty close.

Don't forget the tires.
