It's awesome that y'all are posting so many videos featuring the XR600R. I've got a 1995 XR600R in pieces that I am working on restoring. It was in pretty rough shape when I bought it last year. I love learning more about this bike and seeing other people's. Keep it up!
Nice bike guys. Motor sounds tight. The floats seem stuck hence the petrol pissing out and idling weird lol. Love these Hondas!! Those rear drums.....work.
Some things to keep an eye on with the early RFVC motors is valve adjustment, check it frequently as they have a tendency to tighten up, timing chains will stretch and the automatic tensioner has a limited amount of travel so the chain requires periodic replacement if that gets overlooked it will bend valves and then it starts to get expensive also second gear on early models had a tendency to shear off the engagement cogs, I built and raced an 87 Al Baker XR280 with WP suspension for many years awesome bike and is the same design engine, XR's Only is a great source for anything XR related especially for performance upgrades.
I bought an 88 in Southern California last year for $1800, just needed registration and minor repairs I did myself, with extra wheels, fenders and seat. Awesome bike.
Sweet ride, congrats on the purchase. Love the look of the 80's XRs. Curious if you are planning any suspension upgrades. I know you run your '94 stock. Looking forward to seeing what you think of the cartridge vs. non-cartridge fork in particular.
Mine is a 1990 with 94 suspension front and rear. the 88 to 90 models have the older style dampening rod forks, 91 up have cartridge forks. You can make the older forks good with racetech emulators though. Have you ridden a bored out 600 yet?
@@johnmeurer4780 the 650L is pretty de-tuned for street legality. The new ones have that smog pump system that you have to delete, electric start only, and all the extra lights and such. I’d like to see bikes like the 400r and 600r that come ready to race in a sense with a good state of tune stock and a lot lighter
@@DieselNDirt_ yeah but there is better technology now and I don't believe there be a big market for them. Don't get me wrong I would love a new xr250r xr400r and I love my 83 xl600r with its funky duel carbs.
@@fastguysslowbikes yeah... you are right. I actually like working on it. Have the engine out and top end apart right now, not because it broke but because I like to do all the maintenance. In the end I always have a good reliable bike that beats most modern bikes. Yes I'm bias 😆
@@fastguysslowbikes i have not mounted them yet,, so do not know but hope it works .. have just drilled honet cylinder + new piston for a month ago .. and cleaned carburator ,,,thinking it was dirt but it still leaking fuel hope the new nedels sovel the problems ..and happy new year to you and monkia
Sorry it's taking long. This bike has problems but I don't think it's carb related. I'm out west working on fire cleanup so I haven't been able to work on it.
@@Aridrona right when I got it home I took the carb off and put the carb on it from the 95, which I know is good. Same symptoms. So I took it to the shop and told him it is NOT carb and I think it's electrical. Weeks later I called the shop and all they did was mess with the carb LOL.
Bout what I will have in this one. Still got to come up with a new air box at some point. Other owner burnt a hole in the bottom of it. Got some good old duct tape stopping it up for now. I really enjoy you videos. Thanks
Look on Kelly blue book, but it really depends on where you are and how many are near you. If you live in a big city you might be able to charge more then when you are in the middle of nowhere.
When you ride a motorcycle, seatbelts in cars don't seem as necessary. I always use a seatbelt, but I can see how it is weird for people who race. Just being in a car is so much safer with all that crumple zone. The risk is still there, but on a bike you will pretty much just die if you get hit by a car.
I'm not against seatbelts. I wear them when we're moving faster. but when I'm in a residential neighborhood going 40 or less I never thought it was necessary
@@k.snyder_812 yes, because some people don't believe the government should be required or allowed to dictate the safety of a single person, especially when there are exceptions to the seatbelt laws to begin with. Again, not my practice, but there are plenty of people who think this way.
@@fastguysslowbikes WHAAATTT??? Dudeeee, you don't stop surprising me!!! just gonna say, be carefully, but you drive as gods, so you know what im saying
Lol, you may as well have been speaking Malaysian to that dude when you were explaining the classes you race. He didn't understand or care to a single word
I don't race but all my BS things I get way too far into and try to explain to people.....and their eyes roll back in their heads. Its a lonely feeling.
Hello, I just restored a 98 xr and there are some things that I did not like, the front brake caliper does not brake well no matter how much I bleed it, the engine is too rough and I think it will be due to the carburetor and the silencer not It has db killer and I can't find one so the noise is deafening gives a headache I'm thinking of putting the original but it doesn't have db killer either th-cam.com/video/MSMF953KCOo/w-d-xo.html
Hello from Argentina, I ask you if you could make more videos trying to start the motorcycle with a pedal, kick the woman and do not turn on, do not start and give her the kick many times without a helmet barefoot or in flip-flops.

Impressive how clean it looks. Congrats

I have 2 Xr600s, an 94 and an 86. I love em!
Is it a hard starter?
@@edjacobson8480 Both start very easy, 1st or 2nd kick.

I've had this idea for a (club) race-class: 60 years old, bike + rider ages added up.
Great idea!

i love the 88 flash red style. Unfortunately these Bikes hard to find in Europe,. Take care.
8:22 xr showing up- great decision- nice poodle ! ;-)

Pretty incredible tree. There are a few big oaks in New Orleans also.
Perfectly. Are you familiar with the Frequencie Adv Co channel?
Happy New Year!
Kudos to your videos! They are looking more professional and interesting.
Thank you. My wife did all of the editing!
And with the Supertrapp muffler 🤩
Waw bro its amazing
So.. what year is this bike?
Where did u get that hitch ramp.
88/90 Top XR .
Fast Guys- Old Bikes:D
Do most Muricans for go wearing seatbelts?
Makes me wana get my 86 xr600r out and fix it
❤️❤️❤️❤️
cool!!!
Same as My Best Mates He has had it from new
My 250 is an 88. I wanted a 600 but I got what I got
I wish Honda would make big bore air-cooled four strokes again. Most reliable, cheap, easy to ride, bikes ever made
They still make a xr650l. The old ones are still cheap and reliable. Why would you need a new 500 600 650?

What about the... other XR you got?
The new 650r?
I haven't even seen it yet. I'm traveling for work and I had a friend pick it up for me. It may be a few months.
i have the same problem with my 87 ,, maybe you have some tips to solve the problem I bought two new carburetor needles
Did it work?

Wearing masks but not seatbelts, I guess we all got to die of something.
