I had to do a little bending to make it fit but not a lot. Will give feedback once I have taken a ride with it.<br />

Now the modifications can start, I am still going to try and get the BRP on a dyne before any mods and then once all done get dyne done again, just to determine what it actually meant.<br />

<br />
Works excellent, running on the blackstuff at about 55mph temperature is 240F<br />
<br />
Trail riding in 1st & 2nd gear temperature is 225F<br />
<br />
Highest it went during the afternoon is 248F<br />
<br />
Now the BRP has got only 280km on the clock so I am not hammering it yet, I will keep updating the temperature readings.<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures<br />

The plan is to dyne my XR before doing any modifications and then dyno it after, will give feedback on what jets eventually gave best result.</div>

<div>
I did do the Oil Temperature Gauge Modification this afternoon, will have to wait for the glue to set, so tomorrow I will be able to start having an idea of just how hot the Big Red Pig runs. This will eventually give the information that is needed to decide whether to fit an oil cooler or not. It will also give an idea of running temperature differences after the smog stuff, air filter, jets and exhaust have been done</div>

A buddy of mine on a 1150GS went with on the 1st drive. I filled up the tiny 10l tank and off we went. Took a handheld Garmin GPS with to check accuracy. GPS indicated 110km/h while the speedometer indicated about 112km/h, not bad actually.<br />
<br />
The 1st 40km was downwind on tar in a wind of about 50 to 60 km/h, outside temperature around 33c<br />
<br />
Stopped outside Veldrift for something cool. Frame was quite hot, have to get a oil temperature gauge so that I can see how hot it actually gets.<br />
<br />
The next 90km was into the wind and on a mixture of tar and gravel. With such a strong wind from the front I had to really hold onto the handlebars.<br />
<br />
The main tank ran dry at 130km, switched to reserve and filed up about 5km later. Put in 8.1l of fuel which gave me a fuel consumption of 16.6km/l, I was disappointed with this initially until I searched the web and found that it sounds about right for the XR.<br />
<br />
The stick tank only takes 10l, so an aftermarket tank is on the shopping list.</div>XR'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00329064687230299448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918337117520002962.post-4469829884942117662011-12-04T03:02:00.001-08:002011-12-04T03:03:48.485-08:00500Km Run In<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The dealer advised that I would have a 500Km run in period and the 1st service is at 1000km and then after that the services would be every 6000km. The 1st 60km consisted of some short drives in town. </div>XR'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00329064687230299448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918337117520002962.post-34473386203455373382011-12-04T02:59:00.001-08:002011-12-04T03:01:14.328-08:00Removal of cosmetic wind scoops<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The next item that was removed promptly was the cosmetic wind scoop. Serves no purpose and it would not fit with the aftermarket fuel tank that is planned.<br />

The XR actually feel more stable with them removed.</div>XR'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00329064687230299448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918337117520002962.post-25543091786785754742011-12-04T02:54:00.001-08:002011-12-04T02:58:12.275-08:00Brand Spanking New Honda XR650L<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Ok so the Blog starts about 1 week after I received my XR. Got it from the dealer with 1.3km on the clock.<br />
<br />
I decided to research modifications extensively before making them. The very first modification was to remove the spark arrester in the stock muffler. It just sounded very weak and soft.<br />
<br />
Could definitely feel improved throttle response and it sound like a Thumper.</div>XR'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00329064687230299448noreply@blogger.com0
