Best selling automotive and motorcycle author Moses Ludel shares his motorcycle service rack and the legendary Honda XR650R motorcycle. Moses has produced this instructional HD video for both shop technicians and DIY enthusiasts. The video demonstrates best practices and proven procedures for each step in the process.
Off-pavement or on the highway, your desert enduro or dual-sport converted Honda XR650R motorcycle must be reliable and safe. By following the how-to steps, you can perform professional-level work while saving considerable cost and gaining valuable insights. A sensible, mild upgrade camshaft eases routine service work and provides simpler starting without the nuisance of the OEM auto-decompressor. The L.A. Sleeve cylinder upgrade increases reliability and longevity.
Performing your own work, the right way, increases self-reliance while enhancing your troubleshooting skills.

That was Harvard knowledge on an elementary level of understanding. Job well done. I did mine via Whatsapp video with my big brother who was in Haiti. He was as thorough as this narrator, telling me the in and out of every move, every part, why respecting torquing direction, and using Honda parts only. He passed away 8 months later from covid. I lost a true mentor, a brother that anyone would have dreamed of having. A genius, a true mechanic, he was 62. He taught me how to ride and fix em in the early 80s. RIP Luckner, you will forever be missed
Thanks for the compliment. I am saddened by the loss of your brother. Your brother and I took mechanics seriously. My narrative approach comes from a career of 55 years that included seven years of instructing young adults at automotive/diesel mechanics and welding. As for motorcycle experience, I began at age 14...I have started a new (second) channel last month with strictly motorcycle content: youtube.com/@motorcycletechandtravel. Please join us at the new channel. With sufficient viewer interest and subscribers, I will continue to produce content like this video.
Thank for such exhaustive detailed explanation. A ton of valuable tips and tricks as well a wealth of knowledge packed in to this video.
Glad this was valuable, thanks for the feedback!...I'm rolling out the "Motorcycle Tech and Travel" TH-cam channel (@motorcycletechandtravel) to expand dirt, dual-sport and adventure motorcycle coverage. If the viewer response is good, I'll focus on adventure motorcycle riding and an in-depth dive into maintenance, repairs and restoration. Your subscription and comments there would be appreciated.
That was a wonderful video. I really enjoyed it and was bummed when it was finished. I like the precision and skill, I learned from a guy with that type of movement of hands and precision. Well done! Thank you and I’ll probably watch again before I rebuild my xr.
Thanks much for the feedback! I opened a motorcycle channel that includes this content and more on the XR650R. Join us there, your participation will be valued: youtube.com/@motorcycletechandtravel.
Excellent video, thank you

Looks like Hwy 50 East of Carson City on the way to Dayton!
Actually the Fernley Area (95A and nearby), though I do ride Highway 50E, 50W and 50A. Dayton is a stop when heading for Eldorado Canyon and Sunrise Pass. I have more local footage at the new motorcycle-only channel: youtube.com/@motorcycletechandtravel. Planning a busy filming season in 2024 after the thaw, covering NW Nevada. Join us at the motorcycle channel!
Ah Fernley! Used to roll through there, Wadsworth really, from time to time on the way out to Gerlach. For about 25 years or so A big bunch of friends of mine mostly from NorCal would ride out Jack Ass Rd. past the dry lake, Winnemucca Dry Lake IIRC, out past the Rez. Im sure you been out that way! Pretty good riding out that way!
Ravioli and steak dinners at Bruno's, fuel for active enduro riders!...I'm planning to film High Rock Canyon and the Black Rock in late spring. Will be uploading travel videos to the new motorcycle channel at youtube.com/@motorcycletechandtravel. Join us at the new channel!
@@RoadReadywithMosesLudel Had more than one good meal at Bruno's for sure. He WAS quite the character. Been to the frog pond? That area south of there has some amazing washes/wild horse single track. Ever been to the school bus???
Yes, the school bus. Also Granite Peak and the Basque oven. The region is full of interesting sights and routes...Fly Canyon on the High Rock Canyon road is a piece of history. Many wild horses in the region. We have them near Fernley, too, at the Virginia Range as well. I grew up with immediate access to the Pine Nut Range. Western Nevada has lots of riding to offer.
Alot of folks think Nevada is flat desert. Far from it! Lots of high passes and Pinion Pines. Way more water than anyone would think. Used to race a class 10 car and had races in Yerington, Fernley, Lovelock and Fallon. That was back in the 90's!
VORRA...
Bro can u do me a favour😢😢
It's too hard to start bro😢😢 can u help me to find a decompression cam 😢😢
You asked about a decompression camshaft...For my XR650R top engine build, I added a HotCams Stage 1 camshaft (mild grind) that eliminates the factory auto-decompressor mechanism. The handlebar compression release lever is used during kick starting. With the ignition switched off (Baja Designs dual sport conversion kit), I carefully bring the piston to TDC on the compression stroke then push the kickstart lever lightly to bring the piston just past TDC. Ignition turned ON, compression release level off, I kick through firmly. Tuned right, the engine starts on the first or second kick without kickback. This is a traditional starting method for high compression thumpers that I first used with my 1969 BSA 441 Victor Special single.
Yah bro u changed ur decompression cam & u installed HOT CAMS its detailed in ur video itz hard to find parts in our country (SL) wht did u do to ur decompression cam
The original camshaft with auto-decompressor went to a friend who has built/restored an XR650R. He had a similar problem to yours: no parts available. I was able to help him out. My choice to use the HotCams Stage 1 camshaft is "permanent". I am very pleased with using the manual compression release to carefully bring the piston just past TDC on its compression stroke before kicking through. Without kickback, the engine will start with one to two kicks. I plan to do a video on that starting procedure at the motorcycle channel: youtube.com/@motorcycletechandtravel.com. Join us there!
