The XR650R filter is flat see picture
I lay an oiled chux over it and stick it in the edges to retain it, the air used to be sucked in the two holes, it was dirty air and would block filters all the time.
I modified it and blocked the two holes with fine foam silastic in place and now draw the air through the side cover, its clean air.
I don’t think a Chux would work on anything other then a flat filter
As far as the not running well thing was it rich, maybe the jetting is so close to being rich that the extra small amount of restriction tips it over the edge

But you know the job was done right!Hey a quick update, Moto and Tracy the support vehicle has changed, you will now be in Chop’s 4×4 Jackaroo, this is because there is so much more room inside and the 4×4 drive side of it could be a benefit we don’t want to use, but you never know
By the way, tune your singing voice it only has a radio, but it has both AM and FM

So the Doctor has about 900kms on it since we screwed it back together and its going on the Hillend ride next weekend. Chop Chop and I had a chat regarding the few short comings I thought it had when I took it out on the Zig Zag – Orange ride with Moto, Boulder and Tiny. The biggest thing that needed fixing was the gearing, the standard gearing was way to slow or maybe was more of a put of with the engine screaming maintaining 100kph on the dirt roads or bitumen.
Easy fix, of came the rear 47 tooth stealth sprocket and on went a new Talon 41 tooth just to allow it to cruise a bit better and the DR is a torquey little engine that will allow you to use its mid range and pull this gearing nicely.
A road test showed that the sort of revs it used to do at 60kph in 5th its now doing in 4th instead, yet first isn’t to tall when I came through the single line down the back of home.Yamahas#1 (aka Young Michael) from next door came over and gave me a hand, we fitted a set of Pivot Pegz quick read of the instructions by Mick (must have been only pictures lol)
and next thing they are fitted
We gave it a quick oil and filter change and checked the post that Holeshot started regarding the breather tube re-route for DR’s and carried out the mods as explained on the link someone else added
Tubes at the Carby
Up at the air boxChop had a new Dunlop K695 or something round and black, Mick and I chucked it on, check Micks shoes, shoes of a bandit I reckon, a back door bandit :laugh: lol
Micks tyre changing form
That’s all he did
Some photos of the force radiator guards that Fathead hooked us up with when we built the bike, showing here how they bolt back to the frame, I would recommend the guards they are a good thing and fit straight up no mod required.
Thanks for your help Mick, remember to come over next Friday night, you can have a coke and meet the boys
Its ready for pick up Chop Chop

Yeah good point Mick, it is what it is all about, the twins hi jacked it a bit in the middle but I know they meant well
