I'm not sure about the 605's so it will interesting to see what you think of them. Dunlop doesn't make one wide enough for my KLR (17" rear) so I tired a 4.60x17 for a few miles but it was just too narrow so I took it off right away. I really like the D606 or Tusk Dsport rear paired with a Pirelli MT21 front for a dirt oriented ride. Yes that combo is loud and lumpy but it does surprising well on the road and is pretty durable. The Tusk Waypoint is pretty similar to the D605 and I used those on a week long trip (about 2000 miles) to Colorado last summer and they did great. They might be my go to tire for awhile and are budget friendly.
I appreciate the insight. I don’t have a lot of experience with dual sport tires. Hoping to get the suspension done soon and really test out the bike. I’ve had it for too long without really getting to ride it!

Subbed as I am a fellow xr650L guy myself. What exact tank sticker is that on XROnly website?
@ they came with the bike when bought it. If I find the answer I’ll let you know. They’re old, not sure if they’re still sold!
