Sounds very promising, TB can probably help a lot, he know all the right people – especially when it comes to XR650 stuff.

A decent ‘under the house’ qualifies as a shed in my opinion, be carefull not to expose anything which the crims can use to locate you when you post photos

Sounds good,matter of fact it sounds a lot like some of the stuff TB has done to his 6fiddy. Cant wait to see a photo.

Wow sounds like TBs bike has a twin brother.

Good stuff kasuyaho, you should be happy with the results.

Yeah that pretty well the spec of my bike, difference is mine has the full HRC kit, engine was built by Teknik as was the suspension. All the head work etc has been done. Have you done the air intake mod it makes a huge difference to filter life and performance over a whole day

Photos like they said

Yep there’s insane Honda blokes everywhere, I reckon they’re trying to increase the rotational pull of the earth with all this Torque, they’ve got some evil plan going on that’s fer sure.
And why not, if you’re gunna have a 4T you may as well have a decent one.

Best way to stop pinch flats on them is to run a mousse tube mate honest have tried all the rims and tubes.
Its a big fast heavy motor bike that hits shit real hard and the stuff stays hit. They trash rims real fast :laugh:
I love my XR

I talked to Nick at TEKNIK about the HRC kit and a few other things.
The head work he does on the bikes he preps is alot different to what was done with mine.

The air box mod? side cover cut out or the plate inside the air box?
I have done the side cover cut out.

I don’t really want to get caried away with mouse tubes for adv riding.

I was talking to the yanks on a site a fair while ago.
The old Baja racers were saying that they don’t run mouse tubes,
including the Honda teams.
What they do run is DID rims as they have a different profile.
They found that DID give less pinch flats.
If i can dare say that
At the time i did not think much about it.
Not so long ago i changed the front rim to an excel.
First ride out i get my first ever pinch flat.
I do run 18lb in the front and 14lb in the rear with a D908.
And softer wall tires i run 16lb in the rear.

I put the pig on a set of scales,
the weight is exactally 50/50 front to rear.
130.6kg it weighs with no fuel and with oil.

KTM’s new weapon 690 weighs 140KG and 55hp at the rear wheel.

It just shows how far in front of the pack the 650R was in its day and still is,
at 130kg and 62hp.
Thats why i won’t sell it, what else is out there at the moment?
Nothing that i can see that lasts, is light, that makes the type of power the pig makes.
