- After watching the video I realized I left out a ton of things that have been done to the bike. Some of the stuff like the suspension was done before we got our hands on it. The engine was completely disassembled and vapor blasted. Engines only in San Jose built the engine, it has a Big Bore kit, Cam, full port and polish and fresh everything! Every bearing and seal on the whole motorcycle has been replaced! Basically the only thing that we didn’t do was vapor blast the frame.

Well, since everyone has an unlimited budget these days, this is very relevant.
Super cool man! I have a 2000 X-R 650R that I bought brand new in 2000. Countless miles in the sand and mountains. Just went through the engine and transmission. They are so overbuilt. Love the old Baja race movies with the X-R at top speed, well over 100 mph. Also have the 2005 CRF 450X that I bought new for comparison when someone wants to “bench race”.
I’m 60 now and love the electric start of the 450. Both bikes still bring back wonderful memories and have a great heritage. Isn’t that really what it’s all about? The old saying goes; that the experience is the same no matter your level of riding skill. Just being part of something that cool, XR water cooled goodness is worthwhile. Thank you!
Beautiful build good job guys 👍👍
Beautiful! Awesome work man! Thumper to the max!
Well done with your build very nice ,sugar candy to the eye.I have a 2001 they truly are beast mode bikes.
Awesome work , what a beautiful bike . Im all about the xr’s currently building a 650 now documented it all on my channel, there is a budget to mine but i keep smashing it so its just going to a little longer to complete. Thanks for showing this 😃👍👍👍
Wow that has to be one of the if not the most gorgeous XR650 I’ve ever seen amazing build mate absolutely stunning bet the customer was blown away I know i would be what an absolute gem of a bike.
The music is hilarious!!! The bike is pretty damn majestic!!
Nice work with flying colors.
That is sweet, greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦.
I have always loved the XR650R and that one is just beautiful. Amazing job on it
Thank you!
Jesus that thing is a dream!! Big boy stuff for sure! She was made for the desert!
Outstanding. What a combination of an amazing bike and a big budget production with music. The 40 and 50 degree temps are not familiar to me at this time. It took all day Saturday to get up to 6 degrees but today we're shooting for 20 degrees but the wind isn't helping. Getting ready to put the plow on the Brute Force to handle the foot of snow on it's way. Be safe and enjoy everything you've earned.
So beautiful tuned!👍
I love those bikes so much
Very nice. I have a 2000 XR600R with 300 miles on it. On occasion will ride it around the property. It lives in the garage out of the sun (looks brand new).
Love this video
I have one of the baddest xr 600s around
628r big bor kit
Fmf powerbomb header
Fcr 41 mm pumper carb
And weight reducted to 210lbs
Morocross plastics
The bikes a 93 and it whoops any kx500 cr500 ktm 525, husky 710,
New 450s
Absolutely annihilates them while digging a tench mile long💪
Trimmed down to 210lbs!? I'd like to see this thing for sure.
I have an 2003, bought last year.
Not ridden yet!
Going to ride it a lot this year though. This build and with the mods look awesome by the way!
Congratulations and thank you!!! The XR650R is such a great bike🏁
Old man just got a 2022 black and white. Its beautiful. This has to be the most slept on bike. The power of the 650 is just so nice on the street.
Bro they did make the R is 2022.
Stunning! I'd have a hard time ripping that thing in the rocky desert. too nice. I owned two 650Rs and I loved them, however, I just got tired of kicking.
Enhorabuena. Una moto preciosa. Me encanta. tengo otra y voy a intentar que quede " parecida ". Gracias por tan buen trabajo.
WOW !! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀THAT WAS A MAGNIFICENT INTRO
That thing is freaking awesome.
And This is One reason Y XR'S Rule .
Thanks from NOR-CAL!!!!!
FYI.. I learned riding my XR650L on the street, a little over 20,000 MIi the hammer thump of that piston cracks the frame around the swing arm, I got very tired of custom welding the POS, my friends call it the interstate, I would ride it 100 miles then head off road and blast.fun times
Starting:
Pull in the decomp anf kick it 10 times.
Release decomp, she will fire up on the 2nd kick.
No one needs a big bore kit for this bike.
“No one needs a big bore kit for this bike” is very un-American 😂
@@MasonGeorgeMotorcycles Indeed...I always need more power.
Do you squat to pee
I used to have one. I never had to kick a bike so much. Only the first start of the day. After that it was good. I never could work that out. I got many many miles out of mine.
Love the build!
Would like a list of all the mods.
Amazing bike
Honda Perfection
I own same model and year of bike it doesn’t look that good butt runs real well had to lower it for me to reach the ground but what a blast to ride
U know Y because XR'S RULE.
Thanks from NOR-CAL.
Nice build. I was looking for a plated 650R here in Cali but they are too hard to find. During my search I stumbled upon the DR-650 which I never really considered. Found a 1 year old DR with 2000 miles on the clock with some nice mods. Modded the crap out of it even more with a 790 big bore, installed oversize valves, CRF 42 pumper carb, large front/mid-pipe with a Gixxer Ti muffler and a wide ratio Nova gearbox, Cogent shock and springs and a ton of other mods plus it's got an electric start. I can also convert it over to a supermoto. Most fun bike I ever owned.
If you can't find an 650R consider a DR
Dyno numbers?
A DR650 is not even in the same category as a XR650R.
@@vernlochtefeld1626 I was planning on putting is on the dyno but the shop is all booked-up in advance. A DR-790 in this config usually puts down between 55 and 60 hp with equal measure in torque. A KTM 690 is still way faster but the DR is a grunt monster and it's not a KTM 🤣
@@scottloftin1730 How so? Actually, the DR is the closes match to an XR as anything on the market today. The KLR is a dual sport but is more of an Adventure bike being 100 lbs heavier than either the XR or the DR.
@@donuthole7236 You arw confusing an XR650L with and ZR650R. The R is a full kn race bike. The XR650R will outrun a KTM 690. A KLR wont outrun my mountain bike.
What a beast! Do you have any more videos on this thing getting ridden? Id like to see more.
Would love to have that bike i miss my old 650r should of kept it
Depending on the track.. second and even 3rd gear starts are no problem.. you will be the first one to the turn
they should still making these puppies brand new. the pick of all the 650s stock, and light years ahead after some cheap mods......
See threw floatbowl god i love it
Fired right up 😂4th kick I'm feeling him sweat 😜👽
😂😂😂
Love it!
Thank you!🏁
Amazing!
my wife's 02 is having carb issues. So I tore the bike down and it's just trash in the carb and the lower throttle cable was frayed. I kinda knew but still a good excuse to buy a lectron and put my brp carb on hers. Anyway since I had to pulled the carb I decided well just get it street legal and uncork it lol
Heck yea!!!!
Great job on that bike!
I have a 2001. Thinking about the Lectron. I would love to hear more about to tune it.
My XR650R is an absolute beast! NOT for a novice!
Did you add the Ricky Stator high output stator for accessories?
No need for High output stater with the LED stuff, Baja designs sells a special rectifier for the headlight. No need to put a battery in the bike or anything. This Lectron was set up by them for the specifications of the engine so we only needed to do minor tuning.
Rad bike. unicorn.
Nice 👍
All that engine work and tuning, what kind of numbers does this thing put up? I always thought a well tuned race built 650r could be as about as powerful numbers wise as a 2 stroke 500. obviously it's not as light of a bike but these things are nothing but potential, seeing how they won so many races. I also love the Honda bullet proof 4stroke engine on these. It really is the "they don't make em like this anymore" bike from Honda
I can assure you, they’re nothing like a 500! A 500 is like a bomb waiting to explode! You can hear the difference just on idle. I know because I raced 2 of them. My 98’ set a speed record of 104 mph..in 400 ft!! Let’s see an xr do that! Beautiful bike though and one of Hondas best!
A beauty
Thank you!!!
That’s something my dad would be terrified to ride
It's always been faster. Just not lighter. I've pulled many a holeshots on my xr. At least before second gear is used up.
Awsome Bike!!! Where can i find that decal design for my 450x?
Nice!
Thank you!
Now that is bad ass
Beautiful XR, I hope the customer did some suspension upgrades to it as those models lack in that department, that expensive trip meter won't last long with that plastic universal mount, the billet guard and mount is money well spent, those are good bikes and getting hard to find, nice job on the build it looks better than new.
I forgot to mention in the video but yes the suspension is fully built for him, we don’t do suspension so he had a suspension specific shop do all that. So far the plastic mount has held up but it only has a couple rides on it, if it fails we’ll definitely upgrade it! Thanks for tuning in and XR‘s rule!!!
Ya, that Vapor won't last one over the bars. Get the aluminum guard/ mount or mount it below the handlebars to one side (mine was on the throttle side down low). I ran one forever that way and only broke the plastic mount once.
It would sound so much better if you put a super trap, are a bassini exhaust on it.no muffler
Molto molto Bella!
Get the piston in the right place and it starts real easy
That’s what I said he wasn’t letting it get to the top of the tree
Whats if make for power with that engine work and the lectron carb? Looks ready to slap a tank on, and a baja style windscreen and Gps and go win BAJA again.
A stock bike makes about 43 hp and I’m guessing this one is in the high 50’s
How did you get the computer to stay on constantly? I run one on my bike and I have the Baja Designs stator rewind, but for some reason mine likes to flicker at idle and will not stay on constant
That was one reason I gave up my XR250R. It ran amazing but you had to get things right on the first kick or two otherwise you would be there for 5 minutes and out of breath by the time it got going. Especially when warm. My next off road bike will definately have electric start.
it looks like the mechanics
Man I love my 650r but it SERIOUSLY hates this new ethanol gas. Carb puking so much again it won't start. Just leaves a trail Greta would despise (before it stopped). Question bro...I'm getting sick of rebuilding this carb so are Lectrons worth it and do they tolerate ethanol laced go-juice?
Sweet
Great.
Needs a Rekluese clutch
Di they ever find out what kind of mpg's you can get on the highway with that Lectron carb?
This bike isn’t street legal and with such a big cam I’m sure it’s a drinker!
Beautiful bike!
I call bullshit on it being able to beat a 450 though.
On a MX track the weight of the 650 makes it slower but in a straight line and top speed the XR is a monster!
I've got to ask, where can I get these graphics? Been looking online and can't find them. Or is there any way I can see a complete build sheet on this bike? I absolutely love it.
sorry, but the customer provided the graphics and most of the parts. I’m glad that you love it, it was a super fun project! 🏁
@@MasonGeorgeMotorcycles well thanks for the fast reply! I would love to have this done to my 2007. Although I'm afraid of the "unlimited budget" part 😂
Wow, this is how you improve on the best motorcycle ever built. You can kickstart with flip flops once you learn the starting procedure..LOL
I had a mid 80's XR600 from 89 all through the 90s. Once I understood it I could "kick start" it with my hand.
Ron Jeremy needs a haircut 😂
That Vapor will last about 30 mins on that little plastic arm before it snaps, at least from my experience.
What little plastic arm?
Mannnn i'd love to do something like this with my XRR. How much did it end up costing approximately? I'd totally bring it to San Jose haha
Where cai i get those graphics for my 650r
Now that's what i call a thumper!
Retrofit fuel injection from a trx 700.
That would be trick!!!
Mine cant keep the front wheel on the ground in 650cc.
What does it cost to have all of that engine work done approximately?
5-7k
now that IS a tasty burger
Big Red PIG.....baby
nice bike. side note- this guy does not know where in the compression stroke xr starts.
When’s the last time you kicked over four stroke that was close to 700cc and had 10.5 to 1 compression…. This thing ain’t no clapped out XR 400 bud
Did you remember the tyre sizes?
No sorry I don’t
When did they start making water cooled XR650s?
They used to make two different models. The L is the air cooled Street version, and the R is a liquid cooled, off-road monster!
Xr650r was build between 2000-2007
Do you have a parts list posted?
No
When you’re ready for serious power you should ditch that stupid carburetor and go with a Sudco FCR it’s The best performance mod I ever done to my bike I’ve had the electron the jetted stock carb and neither one would hold a candle to the FCR41
I have had 2 lectrons on my xr650r motard and I was not happy with either of them, the 2nd one was an improvement however with dirt rims it ran great. It just couldn't deal with the extra load at low rpm with the motard, and I tried every adjustment possible even fitted a wideband guage to be sure. Now I am back to the FCR and I will never go back. I have a lectron on my 2 stroke and it is the best thing even, I wish I could have said the same about there xr650r carb for motard setup, hopefully they can do more R&D and get it right
Is there any difference between that and the mx FCR40?
Johnny Campbell would disagree. Same as the Bells.
@@OSUCharger did they run Lectrons?
@@johndunn9819 nope, they ran the stock carb a little rich to match the performance upgrades.
The only real reason for a lectron is avoid needing to adjust for elevation. If you aren't doing that I wouldn't recommend it and I say that as a XR650R Owner with a lectron on it. But I ride the rocky mountains and chose the lectron as caution for the several thousand feet of elevation change the bike would need to handle.
That said, the stock carb tuned for high elevation performed great. It was just difficult to start at home because it was slightly too lean in order to perform at high elevation, even though it ran great once warmed up. The lectron made it easy to start and still handle elevation changes without issue.
Flawless job how much is the bike worth
Worth I don’t know but I do know it cost at least 15k to build
Absolutely beautiful job and I’d love to have an xr but $15k on a 20 year old bike…? That’s not smart money spending when u can get a new ktm 500 with a warranty for less. Not trying to be negative, just way too much money!
@@paulwatson5965 everybody has different budgets and when you have a ton of money you spend it on what you want not what is considered “smart”. I’m sure the same argument could be made for people who spend $50,000 on a old Camaro instead of spending $45,000 on a brand new one that has three times the power and does everything way better.
How much would it cost to restore one to almost brand new
15-20k depending on what kind of engine work.
How can you be that bad at starting an XR?? I’ve had an XR 650R for almost 20 years and whether it’s 2 days or 2 months between starts it fires first kick every time.
Ignition switch off - choke up - decompression lever in - kick over 10 times (no throttle) - ignition on - decompression lever out and find top dead center - decompression lever in and position the piston just past top dead center - decompression lever out and bring the kick starter back to the top of its travel - then jump on it! It will fire first time every time!🤦🏻♂🤦🏻♂ If you do it correctly you will never get kick back either. Starting it the way you did you’re just lucky this bike has auto decompression to prevent it.
I’m glad that you’re so good at starting yours… This is only a high compression almost 700cc engine so it might behave just a bit different lol
Don't understand why animals like this aren't made anymore! Miss
You never said cc? 650 + ?
Where is that sticker kit from?
Not sure the customer provided it
He starting at wrong. Find compression.
Release a little bit go back all the way up then it'll start..
Hey, where can I find the electronic curb from
www.lectronfuelsystems
Thanks
nobody has retrofit the electric start form the 650L to the 650R's?
It’s a totally different engine. I know there’s a company that makes a set up for my CR500r but it’s 2k, not sure if they make one for the 650r yet though.
@TruckingCarsL48 doesn't matter if you think someone don't need it. People don't need Bugatti's but they own them. Also pretty sure I didn't suggest "anyone" needed it either.
Where do i get that seat
eBay I believe
Buy a in good condition XL650R and put a 600 to 750 4 cylinder in it....done.
Sounds like big horsepower but huge weight… I did have a Honda CB 750 four-cylinder stuffed into a KX250 and that was pretty wild
He needs to learn the correct starting procedure for the BRP….
Everyone always says that it's easy to start an XR650r. And they all windout trying to do it. I hate that from this bike
he did it the wrong way.....
Can anyone recommend a mechanic where I can send my Xr 600 for a total rebuild and big bore kit?
Engines Only in San Jose California! This is the fourth or fifth XR Engine that they’ve built for us and they do an amazing job. When you give them a call mention that you saw my video and Frank will take good care of you🏁
@@MasonGeorgeMotorcycles will do! Thank you
A stock uncorked 650r will smoke a new 450 until you have to turn.
Facts!
how do you “accidentally break a case” the only thing I have seen happen is a chain snap at speed and it cracked the case. Anyone have or know someone who has an R for sale? I can’t hardly believe they still make the L but don’t make the R it makes no sense to me.
He installed a case saver incorrectly, and that’s what broke the case ironically lol I have a buddy locally (Boulder Creek California) that has one for sale. I think he’s asking 5K.
@@MasonGeorgeMotorcycles 5k? seems a bit steep, Hmmm. Does he have it listed anywhere yet? or? Damn I wish it were closer to where I am, I bet you get a whole lot of lookie lous when you list a bike like that, I just bought a bike last month, but... Damn... I also know a 5k bike usually means another 2-3 in work and mods I would want to do to it, but if someone has similar body type maybe not. I am a Tall rider 6'4" 275lbs so usually have to do quite a bit to get the suspension right. That is the main thing that might make it worthwhile for me to take a look at.
@@nikhayes3396 the dude who is selling it is your height and maybe a little bit lighter. I believe he has it on Facebook marketplace. Just to give you an idea, a bike like the one in this video was easily 15K maybe more by the time it was done. A couple years ago prices on these things were through the roof! I sold my 2012 XR650L for almost what a new one cost… but then again a new 450 is 12K
@@MasonGeorgeMotorcycles why would anybody buy an old xr650L for the price of a new one. the bikes design has remained unchanged for 23 years, a new one today is the same bike that rolled off the showroom floor in 2001??? The XR650R is not being made and hasn’t been made for a long time, production ran from 2000 to 2007.
@@nikhayes3396 supply and demand. During the Rona dealers either didn’t have them or were charging such a premium that they were 10k out the door. I’m not sure if you live in coastal California or not but everything cost more here.
Electric start is NOT NEGOTIABLE
For weak people like you.
It may make a lot more power than a 450 but its definitely not faster. Heavy bikes suck imo
