Frozen Front Brakes On The XR650L | Front Caliper Rebuild | Project Bike Ep. 6

Love the series and what you're doing because it's a brilliant way to learn about the bike you're riding. Cant wait to see that thing in action.

[@Preacher402]

Thanks Spooky! Hopefully only a few more weeks before the first ride 👍

Nice to follow you along the rebuild. I love XRs. I had 4 of them and planning on buying a 650L soon. I wonder what you will do with the frame though...

[@Preacher402]

Thanks for checking out the project! My plan for the frame is to use this old sand blaster I got from my grandpa. First, I want to ride the bike before stripping it to the frame. We’ll see!

[@TheFixer-rq9tj]

@@Preacher402 Alright! Yeah, stripping the bike is a bigger job! Good idea, let's make it run properly first. Did you see any holes in the frame or is it just surface rust?

[@Preacher402]

@@TheFixer-rq9tj the frame is very solid! No weak spots. Everything seems like it’s just on the surface!

love the XRs great to do one job at a time so it can all sink in 👍

[@Preacher402]

Slow and steady! 👍

Did the exact same thing with one of my XRs on instead of rebuilding it I just replaced the caliper because it was totally cactus. Following your rebuild is very interesting I also have a 1994 XR but it's actually a XR250L strikingly similar color scheme from the frame Shasta white.

I was getting close to just buying a new caliper during this project haha. 94 is a good year!
