What did you do to your dirty bike today? - Page 11 - BARF

1962siia · 10-06-2014, 05:26 PM

Well I did some work on the budget build xr650r today. I had the cracked case welded and it had one spot that leaked a little so I took it back and the welder did a little more work. Ran out of time today to finish up, but I just need to add oil and fire it up. If it doesnt leak I may bring this bike to Stonyford too.

Here is a pic of the repair.

Ghetto as hell. I love it!

1962siia · 10-06-2014, 08:32 PM

Oh snap! Wait till you see the rest of this beauty!

It is the budget build remember. Anyway hopefully tomorrow I'll get some oil in it and fire it up and it won't leak!

Fingers crossed!

Installed a set of 2" rox risers on the cr250 yesterday. I love these things. I can actually stand up straight now and have a comfortable reach to the bars. Also while sitting I'm much more upright and it feels WAY more comfortable. Looking forward to hitting the trails next week! When I first opened the package I thought I ordered the wrong size because they looked so small, but they made a big difference.

I REALLY need to go higher on my 690 bars. Standing is a bit awkward on that bike right now. The 200 is set up pretty nicely, though.

Your 200 is set up perfectly!! For me anyway.
It took everything I had to give it back to you.
(Thanks for letting me blast it up the hill)

Seriously. I sold that bike once, and will NOT make that mistake again.

I removed the sub frame off the XR650L so I can weld the tail light tab back on.

I should add, I set the sag while I had the subframe off. I'm about 170 and P.O. was 200+

Deftone · 10-26-2014, 03:16 PM

Sub frame welded and re-installed yesterday, waiting for the USPS to deliver the frame braces I ordered from Manracks....

Tracking said it would be delivered yesterday. I hate the USPS. They can deliver loads of junk mail, every day without fail but when I pay them to deliver something an hour away it takes almost a week. UPS and FedEx kick ass.

The wife and I rode Foresthill today, (I rode my KTM) got some nice single track in and got some air off the jumps on T3. Really wet and slick out there, loads of fun.

While up in stony I felt like I lost rear brake pressure. Figured I was just due for a fluid flush. As it turns out, I lost both screws on the rear master so it was back there just floating around. When I would step on the pedal I got nothin'. Anyways, the screws were replaced and the fluid flushed for good measure.

angelsndevils · 10-26-2014, 04:42 PM

Pulled the carb on the 300 and cleaned it all out. Moved the clip down a notch on the needle and took it for a rip around the neighborhood. I have to get it up to cow more often. The xr is just too easy to take everywhere.

I rode my buddy's KDX200 at Metcalf when it was brand new and I had very little dirt experience. It's shocking how good that bike is.

I lost both bolts out of the front caliper on a CRF250R at the top of a mountain in the Mojave. Almost went off a cliff. Both bolts were torqued to spec. I always loctite caliper bolts now.

Can you lug that beast like everyone says you can? People told me it was seriously easy to ride.

MarcovHawk · 10-27-2014, 05:26 PM

Finished up new graphics! After cleaning her up from a Carnegie trip!

Edit: Oh also fresh new MX52s!
