What did you do to your pig today?

[Gassyphil]

I added a "new" 650R pig to the pen. More pigs are better, correct?

I was thinking about selling my 600R, but they seem to be enjoying each other's company.

I am truly surprised at the power of the 650R. It kinda reminds me of the juice my old KTM 495 had. ?

Nice PIG PEN!!!!!!!!

Beat mine, like the PIG that she is!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Gassyphil!

Two BRPs can certainly add to a thread like this!

Besides adding one to the pen, I learned all about new starting procedures, the sensitivity, and lack of sensitivity of the idle/fuel mixture screw, today.

Tomorrow is a whole, new day!

I added a Tall SDG seat, contemplated the 11oz. flywheel weight install, put on some fork bleeders, all after I washed my YZ250. I'll do the FWW tomorrow...

Today was a good day, I didn't even have to use my AK...

Gave a thorough wash and while cleaning the chain I noticed that the front sprocket has about 18/ to 3/16ths of an inch of in/out play. Is this an issue? Please respond to the new thread I just started called "Front Sprocket play." Any help appreciated!!

FIgured I would keep this thread going... did the battery relocation mod last night. It took about three hours, much of that time just experimenting with where to move the wires, etc. I am pleased with the result, see thread here:

hey, you put on 14/48 sprockets? stock is 15/53...(XR650L)..I have ordered the 14 for the front just to tighten up the gearing some.. questions.. how is that working for you? what speeds can you run consistently? That just seems like a lot to me...

Stock is 15/45. I run 15/48 normally for commuting at 65-70. I carry a 14 tooth with me to switch out when I find a good trail.

How much more can you gear down the L. Is there a 13 tooth front? I've haven't seen one. I think I've seen a 50 tooth rear...

There is a 13 tooth, and even a 52 rear.

You wouldn't happen to remember who sales on of those would you...I'm counting on the ALL POWERFULL!?

Never mind found it. Thanks though, I know you would have enjoyed pointing out the obvious.? AFAM is a little more spendy..is it worth it?

[AaronBrown]

Mounted some Mefo explorers, installed some rim locks, trimmed and ventilated my front fender and put a front fender bag on with a spare tube and tire irons in it.

[Gorloch]

Changed over to Mobil 1 20w-50 full synthetic motorcycle oil. Found that the L shifts easier and smoother with the synthetic. I think ill keep using it.

Oh i also cleaned the down tube screen, with a 17mm 6 side deep socket it came off without to much trouble.?

It is if it's the only brand you can find.

[HeadTrauma]

I think most of the major sprocket manufacturers make a 13t front for the 650L.

+1, Afam does make good sprockets.
