I think the weight of the XR at desert speeds actually helps keep it stable and planted, that is a nice looking KDX in your garage, you should take it with you on your day rides and and put a few hours on it here and there, those are fun bikes, especially in the woods.
I love my XR650R so much. I wish that the rear brake didn't suck so badly. I wish that Honda designed a better right footpeg mount (mine is bent now from bashing rocks). I often wish I had a 6th gear. But man the fun factor is just so high and you can take them anywhere on almost any trail. Kick only is just fine with me.
Take a small piece of radiator hose rubber or the equivalent shim that ram mount to the bar. Then it won’t rotate. Make sure it’s powered by a MotoPower3.1 direct to the battery. 👍🇺🇸〰️🦅
What phone mount do u like ? I've tried a cpl so far and they were shit 1 actually dropped my phone and with these new phones being 1K plus not something I'd like to break but I would like to jam out while riding
"You can almost count the rpm's" lol true story they do not like to stall. Probably missing that button a little bit. Point & shoot man, that's what it does best.
I haven’t kept up in a minute. Holy shit, Baja?! Dope!
Yeah
@@highlandcycles good luck dude! This is on my radar for a trip with my brother. Super happy to get to see you do it first
Your XR is how I found your channel, love your stuff and that you also love the big girl.
#biggirlstryharder
Nice...
@@highlandcycles
Looking forward to watching your Baja trip, stay safe and give her the beans
Those things are like the Cummings diesel of the dirt bike world.
I have the 2002 XR 650 R also you are definitely driving that bike like an animal
I had a 97 xr 250. Pretty dang good bike!
Just got back from a night ride on the 2000 XR650R and sat down to watch this video. She’s a big girl but she sure is fun to ride.
Yes adjusting idle with extreme altitudes ya learn to do. Mine has thum screw adjuster. After watching this have to take the BRP OUT
Nice! Up north here we need 3 to 4 kicks. Cold
I LOVE IT !!! Love hearing that thumper work. The suspension looks pretty dialed man.
Yeah, I am really happy with it.
People don't realize that old suspension still kicks butt on the deserts

definitely don't want to pick the big red pig up too many times lol. Great bikes, I ran one back in the day on single tracks, it was a handful

Great choice. XR's are tanks and will survive forever if taken care of.
Good luck running down the peninsula.
Thanks
Love your weekly vids by the way.
Thanks@@mxracer158
Wow I’m envious that you can ride to that spot from your house
I am very fortunate

Yep. They are so great!!
We all wish for that 6th gear😢
Had I known a while ago, I would have volunteered to pit. Damn! Good luck my brother.
Thanks
PRC!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Looks like the bike is ready to go Morgan. It's a beast of a Honda
Yessir! Can't wait
@@highlandcycles I bet
I have mount the XTNG on mine BRP
Gooooooooo Morgan 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Great video!
Not sure who's riding who here ! That big girl is made for speed!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Hahaha. There is no battery on an XR650R
I'm always on the lookout for a BRP. My 400 needs a big sister. How was the Mako on the big bike? I love the old thumpers!
Works great.
Any help appreciated...What carburetor should I put on my 650L. On the struggle bus with the 4 stroke.
I like the stock one from the R
i have one 2004 and live in Baja... i love my bike, question: how are u going to run the stella( the power to it ) what was your race number?
This was just my pre runner and we were 400x
@@highlandcycles okok thanks man.. because i seen a guy race one in iron man class, i was thinking it was you guys
What phone mount do u like ? I've tried a cpl so far and they were shit 1 actually dropped my phone and with these new phones being 1K plus not something I'd like to break but I would like to jam out while riding
Hondo Garage! Hands down the best
Can you still get parts for that 650R?? Critical parts etc
Yep
Love the sound. So good!!!
So good!
You might need some tractor gearing on that puppy....
Not for Baja. Its all roads.
That canyon was gnarly...
"You can almost count the rpm's" lol true story they do not like to stall. Probably missing that button a little bit. Point & shoot man, that's what it does best.
For sure. I wish Honda would have put a button on these things.
I'm really not seeing that phone mount making it through the abuse it's going to receive. Kinda looks like it might be a problem.
I moved it a bit and it will be good. I know people who have 100's of hours on them. Also, this is just a pre runner.
