I’m not a qualified motorcycle mechanic, not an expert by any means, just a self taught passionate motorcyclist.
I love giving these old motorcycles a second chance.
Great to see another xr650r being restored in the UK . Greetings from Scotland. Just finished my 2001 xr650r restoration and it passed its MOT test today with no advisorys. Can't wait to get it out for its first ride 😎
Thanks greetings from wales . Glad to see these great bikes are so popular now even more than when they were new I think. Always like that first ride.😄
@@OldDirtBikes great to hear from you mate. Watched all your videos keep the bike content coming. I'm planning another XR possibly a 400r or a 250r next. I also have a modified triumph Street scrambler brilliant bikes. Practicing wheelies but it not as easy as the XR 😂
@@robertglen5484 thanks for watching I would also like to add a xr400 to the collection but not this year. Might be a month or so before my next vid suspension next . Like the triumphs too.
@@OldDirtBikes good to hear. I'll make sure and keep a look out for your next video. I need to re paint or powder coat my rear spring as the little mud flap guard thing is missing on my XR I'll hopefully find one online 🙂
@@robertglen5484 I just replaced mine from Fowler’s Honda uk think it was £20-30 cant remember exactly. Fits perfectly on to rear of air box .🙂
Great watch. Well done Phil. Looking forward to watching the rest 👍
Thank you , haha watch them all. Is this the real MIKE ??
I think you'r right, someone tried to remove the choke plate and snapped off the screw-head, doesn't snap out of it's own.
I am going through this serie of vid's, nice work!
I have a '94 XR600R too like your's.
Hi ye the carb was in such a mess totally clogged , damage and missing parts . Well to be onest the whole bike was a mess . It’s getting there now though
Just watched your vids xr runs nice and with good throttle response 😃
@@OldDirtBikes Thx!, yeah the Mikuni is a great upgrade for the XR.
Affordable to, the Keihin fcr 41 is way too expensive at 950€!
@@gti20vtMarcel Does the mikuni fit in without any mods at the fuel tank or air filter? best regards
@@254lele Hi, no mods necesarry!
Plug and play including adaptor on the front and back side.
Check my channel for the XR vid. and the link in the commentary section!
Greets!
I've got a 2000 that's running but has it's share of small issues. Look forward to watching you solve these and get her running. Sure I'll learn from your attention to detail! Nice watching you work. I've got some videos on my channel of riding mine in California if anyone cares to take a look.
thanks for positive comment , some times my bikes come together fast other times can take me weeks to solve a small problem learning as I go . My 650 from California to. Will watch your vids
Ah looking foward to this...about to start mine today.
Glad you have a xr too.had many bikes but xrs are my favourite.have you recently bought yours? there was one in Scotland on eBay but was too expensive for me.
@@OldDirtBikes yup bought mine last Saturday. Come join the Facebook group. I posted your link and someone has rads etc for your build
Honda xr650r uk owners
@@moonmanzn thank you. I don’t have Facebook but my wife has and told her to join.there’s a place near me who recons rads will try save them first.
@@OldDirtBikes there's also Chinese ones on ebay for 70£. Used them on a drz400 build and worked flawlessly
Great to see you taking on a XR650R, I just ordered a workshop manual from the US. I have just watched this episode, so I don't know the end result of your project yet. Looking forward to see the XR on the road again 👍
Hi thanks . My manual usa to and many of the parts even imported the bike from usa 🇺🇸😂. When i started this project i thought 6-10 months maybe 10 parts on my TH-cam, on part 23 😀 15months later and not finished but nearly there now . 👍
@@OldDirtBikes I see, not many of them in Europe. I bought mine from a Swede working in Norway. He took it with him from Sweden hehe..
Mine is a 2003. With 300 miles or so on it. Only mods done to it is a 200W alternator and heated grips. Looking forward to see the next episodes! Those radiators are pretty banged up!
@@erikeggenbakstad you practically got a new one there 👍. Yes i dont think many were sold in uk 🇬🇧. The original rad were in a mess hit from all angles in fact the whole bike was beaten up bad very well used. I was a bit crazy to buy it but i wanted a project and wanted to save one 😬
@@OldDirtBikes It is good shape yes. Well, I'm my book you can't go wrong with an XR, I think it should be reasonable easy to sell if that should be your decision in the future. It is still a good bike for it's age 😊👍
my 2000 runs 92 mph
