- First decent ride checking snow conditions and lots of riding tips and lessons!
The Honda XR650L is the picture of versatility. Off-road, it dominates the trail with the right combination of power, suspension and durability. And when you’re on the road, its light overall weight, electric starter and excellent fuel efficiency make it great for commuting or even long trips.
While the graphics will catch the eye, what really sets the XR650L apart is its ultra-tough 644cc overhead cam engine that has torque and power to spare. And because it’s air-cooled, it’s easy to maintain. Plus, the engine’s gear-driven counter balancer reduces tiring vibrations, so you can ride comfortably for hours on end.
Monster trail or monster commute, the XR650L has got you covered.

Good advice on the log crossing. I tried to get my front wheel up but didn’t get light enough and busted myself up just yesterday. One of those “yup I’m done for today “ moments. Helmet saved my brain for sure. Rocky Mountains are surprisingly rocky😂
You're supposed to watch all my videos before you go out riding.. 😜 Glad you're okay ride safe!
For everyone saying this bike is underpowered or its to heavy or whatever they say, watch the first part of this video.
Amazing riding skills. I had a Honda XR650L and it is as tall as a horse and not easy to handle for me and i am 6.2 feet 115 kg . I used it as a adventure bike but you ride it as if it is a light 250 or 400 cc bike. Thanks for sharing.
I can hear a pumper carb whistling on your vids. Im sure it gives u extra snap for those low effort wheelies but I like the CV carb for being so smooth with these big motors. Airbox, pipe, jetted and 14t sprocket these motors get pretty powerful yet still smooth, love it.
I love to play with my R/C crawler and trophy truck. I have a bad back and when i cant ride my xr, i love to have laughs with my other toys. Cheers.
Doing wheelies through ruts, ice, and slick mud... Suuuuure, easy peasy.
You handle the bike well great footage👍🇬🇧
RC trucks are so fun man! Just got an 18 XR650 on June 4th. Best purchase ever!
I just baught the xr650l my 1st dual sport and I love it,,checking out these vids before I go in the dirt,,it’s already so much fun on the street
I have a bunch of RC"s also, helps me get in my "mechanic fix' when it's too cold/ crappy to work outside on my "real" rigs :) Ton's of fun for those who haven't tried especially the "crawler" type.. like full size 4 wheeling, except when you get stuck/ roll over you just pick it up and put it back on the trail/ wheels.. no damage, injuries etc..
That's awesome that's exactly the same way I think about it Love my RCs they're all fun especially my crawlers! 👌
I love how effortlessly your XR lofts the front end, I’m sure your skill plays a large part but the engine itself sound so unstressed doing it.
Dude! You're a beast on that thing!!! While you make it look easy, I know better! That's tough terrain to go anywhere near that fast. I love my XR and I'm just a newb rider
incredble riding skills with that heavy framed torquester! just how it loves it! maybe if you are in the tucson area sometime we can do the mt lemmon here!
I have a few R/C cars. Love the hobby it's addicting for sure.
I’ve noticed that most people that put the ol’ BRP’s down are people that don’t have one, or haven’t ever owned one.
Added: And yes it is funny how things change through our lives. I’m thankful when I can just be back on a bike and out in the wilderness again.
Thank you very much for these excellent vids! I'm sure I've learned countless things from you over the times and brought them into my riding practices. In this one I found out about the braps while coming in for a landing, something I wouldn't have thought about coming in from mountain biking. So thank you, and I look forward to the vids in the coming season! 🤙🏼
I'm glad they help yes that's an old trick from Motocross Racers and Supercross Racers they usually land with the power on!
I love watching people tear it up on these type of bikes. People try to buy their way into being fast. It can't be done. If your a good rider, for the most part the bike doesn't matter. Unless of course your near a pro level.
I greatly appreciate your video back in 2006 I used to have a 91 XR 650 L was my second motorcycle ever first bike was a 81 Suzuki GS 550 TL never rode a dirtbike in my entire life, and to jump on an XR 650 L was a lot absolutely phenomenal and fun bike but I wish I would’ve learned more about riding off-road. I always regretted when I was a kid not having a dirtbike and learning to ride the trails.
The capability of the XR and a nice reminder of why they still exist. great video of technical riding. I once owned an XR350L and am considering returning to the XR or DR and maybe the new KLR. Love the Orange on the KLR but it's way heavier than the other two.
I agree the XRs are just legendary! Thx
Always nice watching your riding Heddle, sick skills! Also nice to see areas I know personally!
Thanks man nice area for sure!
Thank you so much man! Appreciate everything you do, keep it up please! ❤️
We appreciate the tips 👍 ride safe and enjoy your beautiful playground 😊
Thank you you have a good one as well! :)
Nice vid. Playing with the idea of purchasing an early model 650l as I have owned my xl600r for over 20 years now. Your bike looks to have the power I need for backcountry riding. Thanks!
When you came up to the ledge, I said to myself dude what the fu€k lol in my head I’m like back up!
Ahh! Can't wait to break out the big red pig Sunday! However my scenery isn't near a lovely as yours
That's awesome yes I am lucky but as long as your riding it will be rewarding! Sometimes you have to think outside the box to find the beauty in a certain area! 👌
Oh that’d drive me crazy! The whistle.
I like the whistle, too cool. I have a 2019 and would love the power and front forks.. nice work
Fantastic video as always 👏👌
Floating the front end. I believe thats the term your looking for. Thats an excellent tip for the conditions. That noise in the carb is just the xr,s mating call, i believe it occurs in springtime. Can't wait for the little xr,s in nine months.
HaHa That's awesome and probably true!
I wish I had kept my Osa I don't even remember when I sold it or where I sold it I should have just kept it it was probably a 1970 model ossaa 250 I think trials a real mild-mannered bike I remember driving it across the top of the Crusty snow in Wisconsin it was very cold and we had a warm spell and then it froze and so I was able to drive on top of a couple feet of snow and it got me back where I spotted a couple of big Timberwolves jump over a fence! boy they were something to see in that extreme cold weather long fur in the Wisconsin at a time when they weren't saying that were NOT any wolves in Wisconsin. I broke my back on a 1972 bUll Taco 360 El Bandido also was a beautiful bike would be worth a lot now. That was in 95. my KLR was too tall my feet wouldn't touch the ground it had everything on it including the aluminum pan years it had a big windshield in crash bars handguards low-profile expensive seat lowering link in the bike was still too high I'm 5 ft 9 in I want to touch the ground when I'm loaded up with heavy Adventure supplies or a beautiful lady in the back!!!. if you can't touch the ground you're going to get her hurt especially when you like to drive slow on the trail and stopped on the edge of the cliff without falling over the edge of the cliff with your bike supplies and a lady! that's ridiculous when your feet don't touch the ground you can't catch yourself from falling over when you stop or get on rough terrain. I prefer to go slow bigger sprocket ! I want Firstgear to crawl because I go where the Trail Ends,.WARE IS THIS PLACE?
Great story it's in BC Canada!
Maybe a how to video on jumping? Especially with these dualsport bikes not made for jumping. My 690 regularly catches air, and that throttle landing tip really helps (new to dirtbike jumping). Thanks for the tips!
That's a great idea I will see what I can come up with! Glad it helps!
Good stuff. Love the real world tips
Thanks I hope they help, Yes my videos are a little raw.. just trying to be real! :)
Just got an 96 Xr 650l coming from sport bikes I love it
I miss the ktm 690 why’d you make the change to the xr?
Wow, love your inset with ramp jumps and the freestyle moto! I'm a huge XR650L lover. I find it interesting that as an X FMX guy, out of all the bikes in the world, you choose the BRP. I rave about mine all the time. I have brand new super fancy KTM and it's a toss up on which bike I'd rather ride, LOL.
I have actually had this bike since around 1995 so even before I did FMX but yes its one of the best all round bikes! I do have several bikes as well but the XR is special to me as Ive owned it so long its a 93! Thanks!
Great scenery!!! Nice tips!!! Which are your essentials when riding alone or with your buddies? Like in case you have an accident or a failure. Keep safe and God bless you man 😀
Thanks!! I have a really good organized set of tools and carry a Zoleo I actually covered that topic in this video about half way thru - th-cam.com/video/chnF_Ugu11Q/w-d-xo.html
Nice!
What folks are you running? What an awesome place to ride!
Hey thanks! Its the whole front end from a 2001 CR250 with Rons triple clamps (RSW). All those early forks work I think there 47mm Showas!
Very informative. Appreciate the tips. Jealous of your scenery!
Awesome riding place budd, love the video!!! 👍🏻👍🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Good tip mr H
Thank you sir!
Mannnn,,, YOU GOT THE SPOTS BUDD, WOW !!!👍🏻👍🏻✊🏻
I’m glad I found this channel I’m about to sell my gsxr 1000 to get a xr 650 trying not to die
Thanks for the great content, I have been practicing many of the things you have mentioned in your videos and have taken opportunities to ride ice, and snow and some sketchy terrain but I am really hoping to work on my wheelie and pivot turn game this year. I was doing pretty good till I had a wheelie get out of hand that resulted in dropping my bike... no big deal I thought till I realized my bush bars didn't do the job of protecting my brake lever it didn't break but the brake master cylinder was hooped and it cost me 500 to fix. It is so weird, I am not so much afraid to hurt myself but rather my bike. Until I finish school and land a decent job it is just too difficult to pay for such incidences, my riding has definitely been affected by this fear. And the fear of explaining to my wife why I need to fix the bike lol.
That all makes sense just learn at a comfortable pace! It will come!
Very cool video thank you
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!
Great intro, such an epic bike!
I kinda digg the chirp that your pig makes!
Never eat shredded wheat Is how I learned too lol 😆
that whistle noise drives me crazy and I have the same exact thing with my beta 500 RS
Ya its cause I'm running a 4 inch pod filter my buddy runs the bigger one 5 or 6 inch I think and he has no issues! I will just get a bigger filter in the future!
Odin was with you
It’s good to ride over your head now and then.
Dunlop 81F works for me.
Thank you for the tips and the nice scenery in your area. Would you make a video of how to ride muddy ruts made from 4x4 cars? I find them difficult to keep the balance.
I actually have one that covers ruts not pure mud ruts but that's a great idea for a video! This should help you in the meantime look for around the 7 minute mark - th-cam.com/video/jTXMPlmNzpI/w-d-xo.html
@@HeddleTown Thank you for the videolink, it makes a bit of sense. The challenge for me is riding long roads like gravel, nice and easy. Suddenly the road turns to mud and 4x4 or tractors have made deep mile long ruts about a foot deep. The middle of the road is slippery grass with bumps. So my only option is to paddle all the way and that is very hard.
I ride a xr650l with some luggage and novice skills.
You have that bike dialed in. Can you list all parts in your descriptions? Could be a good way for some affiliate $.
That's a great idea for now here is a little build video if that helps! th-cam.com/video/OJG9_RK4uCA/w-d-xo.html
Evel Knievel !
HaHa Not quite but I was a bit of a nut! 😅
Yes and for safety use your ears 👂. Always be lessening for other bikes while riding.
doing wheelies is something i never was successful doing, i really need to work on that
Some tips in this video might be helpful... th-cam.com/video/VeLo2hjIp68/w-d-xo.html
Sit in the comfortable spot in the middle and roll on the throttle. Wheeling on this bike is as easy as breathing. One of the best wheely machines on the planet.
I wished I knew you personally. You have knowledge I wished I had 1/8 of your knowledge. A little about myself 1st I'm 6ft and 300pds so this class of bike I'm hit without doing a total suspension rebuild on smaller bikes so this fat not really fat well its on the belly area rest of me is pretty tight so to say. I had a DRZ for a very short time but some gasket inside the motor lower right side gave out . I was right down the street so I turned around not even 300 yards and toasted the motor . It screwed up the transmission but it would cost half of the price of a new DRZ to correct. I believe the 650L would be easier to handle plus I have a strong Harley background so weight aint to much of a problem I think 🤔. Plus I'm not too aggressive in dirt yet . It was hard to let the bike dance underneath me . But I heard riding these type of bikes are good or help me to lose a little weight ok ok nay sayers 30 to 40 pds at least. Is there any option besides these bigger bikes with a good price point ?
Thanks for the compliments! I believe Honda makes some of the best most reliable bikes ever made including the 650L. You would be hard pressed to find a better price point for a proven reliable bike than the 650L. Also once you spend some money on the bike it becomes even better!
What kind of RC trucks you have?
I have a few crawlers < vanquish etc some race buggies and truggy monster trucks I have many! There is a few RC videos on my secondary YT channel in the description.. Heddletowns Enduro Ride 2
Nice bike! Noticed the upside down fork. Do you like it/what is it off of?
Couple questions about your bike:
What exhaust?
What gearing?
Check this vid out most of that should be explained here, FMF + 14/45 gearing but my tranny gears are changed! th-cam.com/video/OJG9_RK4uCA/w-d-xo.html
What's up with the kick starter? A Honda kit? How much of a PITA is the install. Thanks!
Love the XR! How do you initial a front wheel float like that?
Great riding! What front fork tubes did you use?
The whole front end is from a 2001 cr250 with proper triple clamps. There is a brief build video in the playlists!
Great hobby crawler and you gata get jet boat rc
Are you using an 14-45 sprocket???
Yes I am!
Do you have a list of mods on your xr650l?
There is a short build video I made that goes over most of the stuff here.. th-cam.com/video/OJG9_RK4uCA/w-d-xo.html
Im looking to upgrade my springs. Do you have stiffer springs?
That pipe sounds just right not to loud what is it?
Full FMF exhaust with Powercore 4 muffler. Pretty sure my springs are stock. I've had this bike for over 25 years so I don't recall!
I have a Husky 701 ans have been thinking heavily about adding an XR. Yours does not look stock by any means, what type of mods did you do? Great vids!
Hey im thinking about buying a 2019 701 enduro, has it been reliable to you?
@@Alan-fx9xb I have never had a single issue. Mine is a 2017 that I bought new
@@chrisvantassel8867 i see thanks for the response
What kind of sprocket set up are you running?
3000' What is your Carb Jet Setup?
Never Eat Soggy Waffles ;)
Hiya budd how do you find them heavy bikes on the single tracks just got a yz450f thinking of chucking a rekluse clutch on there have you had any experiance with these great riding by the way keep up the good work sir
The yzf 450 is more of a motocross bike but it will work I tell people to avoid the rekluse it's better to learn proper throttle clutch control. It's also more enjoyable riding in the mountains on an actual Enduro bike because their setup with heavier flywheels and harder to stall. Just some stuff to consider. 😀
Ive looked into a heavier flywheel tryed getting the gytr 4.4 oz but couldnt find one ere in uk wanted somthing to help with the stalling all the time i knw wot your saying about clutch an throttle skills tho in two minds now lol
I thought it would ov been ok as people were saying the wr is just a yz with lights an stuff an the yz was more in my budget so trying to make it enduroable as possible
@@gareth5494 Yes you can absolutely make the YZF450 work but the WR will be different with the ignition timing and the port timing heavy flywheel to prevent stalling there is a few differences for sure. The YZF will work its just a little harder to ride it in the woods!
What gearing do u have on ur XR?
14/45 with the 2nd gear and 5th swapped out for the NX650 gears!
@@HeddleTown how does it do on the road with the 14tooth in the front?
Is this Nicholas cage
What radio control cars are you into fuel or battery 👍
Battery and mostly crawlers but have drifters and have 1/8 scale race buggies! I have some silly little RC videos posted on my secondary channel link is in the description! :)
@@HeddleTown cool I have 2 fuel off roaders i am trying to master a helicopter tricky👍
The "L" was not the king of baka, the "R" was.
