Need to change the forks to upside down tough spring, that with the other things you mention slung perfect bro. You're on the right track to get this done buddy.
Very informative . Love from India wer v hav only 2 XR 650L in whole India one is wit me and and another one is 2000 km away from me .and no XR parts available so it's hard to maintain it . Thank for your information
Did you do a video of how to do the battery mod relocate? BTW, I really like your how your bike is set-up. I have a XR650L 2014 that's in need of a battery mod like yours but I don't know where and how to start.
I got mini stalk brand turning signals, they are tiny as hell, looking pretty sick, bright as hell too. They are halogens... equally as good as led. Been looking for white fairings to change it up a bit but no luck im gona just use krylon fusion gloss white and respray the number plates to match while im at it then Im getting red and white honda seat cover and matching front RED lol Maier fender... Should make the bike look more uniform
Hey Dan, I had a problem with the oil shooting back into carb. I but a 1' long tube from the crank case breather, ran it under the gas tank and put a breather vent on it, and completly plugged all hoses except the drain. It rips way better now and totally eliminated any oil spraying.
Got a drc edge 2 tail light, the rear fender, a ims desmoger, some rad signals.....just kept filament bulbs, found some small slick ones...should all be showing up soon. Thanx for the help on the seat probably saved me hours of trouble shooting, trial and error, wires were a bitch though..lol. But got em, cdi and all.
I thought this was my bike when I scrolled past it lol. I have a 2007 I bought brand new in cali and took that smog crap off within the first 2 weeks. Got the block off kit from Chaparral motor sports. Where do you ride Dan?
Love the bike bro. Im also converting mine.. Did you change the relays for the LED's? Just wandering if I run a LED brake light only if ill have to change anything out to run led brake only, wanted to keep the stock turning signal bulbs... Got some cool smaller bullet style ones with reg bulbs.. Thanks man, ill post a vid soon.
Hey Nick, if you are running regular bulbs in your turn signals the will work fine with the stock flasher, as for the led brake light it has nothing to do with the flasher so it too will work fine! I bought a aftermarket flasher from ebay to run my led blinkers just plugs in where the old flasher was and works great!!
That's a sweet looking bike. I'm looking for a dual sport and of course considering an XR 650. How much weight did you loose by taking all the not needed stock parts off?
it would be great if you can weigh the bike. I like to see how many lbs you have cut off from OEM weight. Also I like to hear the sound of the bike with the new muffler.
jack schitt , I have a friend with that same exhaust on a XR650L. Without the quiet core thing in it, the bike is very very LOUD!!! Sounds great though , very deep tone!
Maier mx style rear fender,Ufo fork guards for xr600,K&N air filter,stock battery,Home made smog block off kit,white brothers exhaust,dynojet stage one jet kit,led blinkers off Ebay,under mount tail light from Ebay,msr shift lever Ebay,factory effex graphics!!
They want 350 to rejet my bike. I can't do it. Or don't want it. I have everything u have but haven't put jets in yet. U need foot pegs. I also put 42tooth sprocket for freeway. Have auxiliary lights not on either. Soon tho just need 4.7G tank.
I got the rear fender from maier, it is a direct bolt on no cutting involved, it is a little bit more red in color then the other plastics but you really can't tell!! The led tail light I got from ebay, just search Xr650l tail light and you should see all kinds of under mount lights! I just picked the one that looked the best and it worked out well for me!! Good luck!!
hey Dan, I have a 2014 XR650L and I'm looking to replace my rear blinkers so to match yours if you don't mind my friend? Where can I find those really cool looking lights?
You didn't explain what you don't like about the handlebars and you didn't go into detail about the dynajet kit. I wished you would have, otherwise, nicely done
@@d.c-jr8015 yes mate that's why I put a question mark on the end on the sentence. Let me say that again I have exactly the same exhaust on my Klr but it's a Vance & Hines.
banal pedant I bought my 650l from this dude who had already lowered the suspension and put on some moose racing handle bars, the lowering kit plus the bigger bars makes the ol' pig fit me wonderfully.
we all have no choice right now until Honda comes bak with xr 650 r or bettr yet an all new 650 r but would be happy with the last model they made 2003 for example - best yet whats Yamaha doin fuk me
If your using the stock battery you will need to cut out the top of the air box and grind a little metal off around the top bolt on the air box just so it slides by!! Also will need to cut out some of the underside of the seat!! I used a fein tool to cut mine worked really good! If you use a smaller aftermarket battery you might not need to cut so much out!! Good luck#
I really like the look of your bike. It looks more like a CR than an XR. Really nice thanks for the list of mods.
That is a awesome looking Xl650...best Ive seen!!
That's the most gorgeous 650 I've ever seen. I have an 06 650l and I want mine to look like yours hahaha
Yeah that XR looks good, I really like what you've done with it
Need to change the forks to upside down tough spring, that with the other things you mention slung perfect bro. You're on the right track to get this done buddy.
I dig the bike! But I wouldn't drill the airbox, just because of water...my favorite mod is a set of bar risers and 1 1/8 high bend bars
bike looks killer. I want one
Very Awesome!!!! Cool mods!! I want to get the jet kit and new exhaust.
YOUR BIKE SURE IS CLEAN TOO CLEAN
Badass! Just picked up a 2002!
hope you still got your BRP !!!! she looks great!!! were getting ours on friday and cant wait #livetoride
here in 2022, that Front disk Guard give it a nice look
Nice bike! Love the way rear fender looks! Where did you buy it? Is it special made for Honda 650 xrl? Thanks for your time.
Very informative . Love from India wer v hav only 2 XR 650L in whole India one is wit me and and another one is 2000 km away from me .and no XR parts available so it's hard to maintain it . Thank for your information
But you are closer to Japan ...
An idea for you. A xr600r left side number plate will fit on there now since you moved the battery, it will narrow up at left side bulge.
Did you do a video of how to do the battery mod relocate? BTW, I really like your how your bike is set-up. I have a XR650L 2014 that's in need of a battery mod like yours but I don't know where and how to start.
yes battery transfer video...would be cool....and carb jet sizing info...
Nicest XR L I've ever seen!
Thanks
Nice job with all the mods! I have a 16 I'm doing some mods on and I was trying to find the brake light and tag bracket you have. any help??
like to see more of the battery mod with cover off
reroute the oil separator out of the air box. you can use the breather from the xr600
Looks good

I haven't had any problems with mine yet, but if I do I'll keep this in mind!! Thanks for the update! !
dude.... it runs way cleaner with a breather vent, id try it.

Thanx for the help on the seat probably saved me hours of trouble shooting, trial and error, wires were a bitch though..lol. But got em, cdi and all.
Would love to see some pics!!
can I send just pics on here?
I don't think so, would have to link them!
Hi, can you show inside of the air filter. and battery relocation? thanks!
I thought this was my bike when I scrolled past it lol. I have a 2007 I bought brand new in cali and took that smog crap off within the first 2 weeks. Got the block off kit from Chaparral motor sports. Where do you ride Dan?
I dig it . you should make a video how you transferd the battery
It's coming! !
Still coming?

Can you send me a link to the carb jet screws upgrade you installed on your XR? Thanks.
Upload a new vid of the fender and headlight!

That's a sweet looking bike. I'm looking for a dual sport and of course considering an XR 650. How much weight did you loose by taking all the not needed stock parts off?
Did several of these mods myself. I bet he saved around 15-20lbs total assuming he moved to a lithium battery.
What are the LED's you used for turn signals?
Did you do the countershaft sprocket mod?
would you buy another one? Im looking at one right now- I hear its bullet proof?
What is a purpes of smog is it runing better or cleaner sound of a bike what ??
Rear fender, and light conversion sote
it would be great if you can weigh the bike. I like to see how many lbs you have cut off from OEM weight. Also I like to hear the sound of the bike with the new muffler.
jack schitt , I have a friend with that same exhaust on a XR650L. Without the quiet core thing in it, the bike is very very LOUD!!! Sounds great though , very deep tone!

They want 350 to rejet my bike. I can't do it. Or don't want it. I have everything u have but haven't put jets in yet. U need foot pegs. I also put 42tooth sprocket for freeway. Have auxiliary lights not on either. Soon tho just need 4.7G tank.
Also forgot I put a new set of Dunlop tires on that made a huge difference over stock tires! !
I got the rear fender from maier, it is a direct bolt on no cutting involved, it is a little bit more red in color then the other plastics but you really can't tell!! The led tail light I got from ebay, just search Xr650l tail light and you should see all kinds of under mount lights! I just picked the one that looked the best and it worked out well for me!! Good luck!!
i can't find black plastic for this bike anywhere . Just the tank and front fender
Check out ( bike bandit . com ) they have some universal front and back fenders in black , red , blue , yellow .
forgot to show the wrapped headers, wrapped with fabric heat tape, really seams to help keep the heat off the engine!!
hey Dan, I have a 2014 XR650L and I'm looking to replace my rear blinkers so to match yours if you don't mind my friend? Where can I find those really cool looking lights?
William H Keahi found them on ebay!
I like your set-up on your rear fender/brake lights. Can you share with me how to make my bike look that awesome?
Can you put a bigger fuel tank on the 650 to maker it go farther/ The 250 model carry's more fuel. I am not a fan of carting extra cans.
Yes you can , Clark makes a 4.0 gal and a 4.7 gal to increase range!! Direct bolt on!
Thank you!
A Mosher I have a 5.8 gal. acerbis tank
@5:36 that chain looks a little loose to me.
You didn't explain what you don't like about the handlebars and you didn't go into detail about the dynajet kit. I wished you would have, otherwise, nicely done
I know this is an old video but does anyone know where to get that rear fender!?
Just google Maier rear fender for xr650l
You live in the Tri cities
What rear fender and tail light did you install ??
Maier mx rear fender, tinted undermount from ebay
I have the exact same Vance & Hines exhaust on my klr?
The exhaust is White Brothers
@@d.c-jr8015 yes mate that's why I put a question mark on the end on the sentence. Let me say that again I have exactly the same exhaust on my Klr but it's a Vance & Hines.
Where did you get your LED flasher, buddy?
Ebay

I'm also 5'7". With the Kouba Link, it's quite rideable. Go for it.
You got a bit to much slack in your chain it looks like
How do you know when handle bars are crap? Seriously.
banal pedant the stock handlebars are extremely low for how tall the bike is.
Thank you Tyler, Which is the suggested route,risers or a new higher set of bars? I see a lot of guys raising the stock bars. thx
banal pedant I bought my 650l from this dude who had already lowered the suspension and put on some moose racing handle bars, the lowering kit plus the bigger bars makes the ol' pig fit me wonderfully.
upgrade to a xr650r trust me will change your life
Your chain looks way too loose!
tomthomsen11 the back tire is off the ground should tighten when he lets it down
