Comments:	Hello to the group! My name is Doug Finnie. I am a 52 year old rider who has been involved with motorcycles for the last 35 years. I have gone thru a bunch of bikes both street and dirt, but t e only one remaining is a modified 1991 XR 250. We (myself, son and stepson) do most of our riding in the Rocky mountains northwest of Calgary, Alberta. WE live in Cochrane, which is 15 miles west of Calgary. The XR was bought as a basket case from a young fellow who had someone build a high performance for him. He installed it himself, but did not bother to check the jetting before taking it for a long hard ride. The end result was a blown engine. I rebuilt it and now have about $1800 cdn into it. I would like to hear more about modifications to both the older XR's and the 96 and newer, as I really enjoy XR's and am looking to purchase a 96-01 250 Thanks Doug

Comments:	Let's see more about the the "Little Guy," the XR250R! I have a 2001 XR250 and it is a great bike for a beginner like myself. Plenty of power, great handling and not too much bike to get yourself into trouble. Looking for a bike that will let you learn how to ride and not be quickly outgrown, check out the XR250R!

Comments:	Who said Kiwi's can't fly! As an adventurous XR650L owner I can be found blasting along the back roads of this great country, and thus have found it necessary to make a few changes to the bike. I have added a 23 litre Acerbis tank, alloy bars & handguards, removed the smog gear, re-jetted to 167 main, 55 pilot with a UNI filter and the top off the air box. I have also replaced the tail-light with a smaller one and the rear indicators with rubber mounted round ones. I have spent hours trying to get the forks as plush as possible by adjustment and oil weights, air pressure etc. Remarkably I have ended up with 2.5 oz oil-145mm from top (springs out), compression 2 clicks back from full hard, with 3lbs air preload. I will probably try raising the oil level to 120mm next. The reason for the light oil is that I found the very fast impacts I encounter at 80-100kph where very harsh, the light oil seemed to allow the oil to flow properly during very quick compression. Also I found at low speed int tighter bush trails the lighter oil allowed the forks to absorb small ledges and tree roots better, reducing deflection which is a real bonus with such a heavy bike. Lastly I have a small homemade screen mounted and disk and fork protectors from acerbis. My next project is a carrier and sump guard, and ultimately I will probably replace the muffler. Keep riding!!!! DWS.

Comments:	I bought an XR 250 because of the HondaXR.com web site . I was so disappointed when it was discontinued. I am glad to find you guys. I could use some guidance. The bike I bought runs great but is smoking . I would love to have the engine top end rebuilt but I can't find anyone to do this job and I know that the Honda shop would cost a fortune and take forever. I would be willing to take the engine down if i could find someone to do the head and cylinder. Ant advice would be appreciated. Thanks Rich

Comments:	I have a Honda Transalp 600 V-twin. A good machine when there's no problem with the CDI units. Do the XR's have problems with their CDI units? I'd be interested in getting any information about such problems. I'm in a Honda V-twin e-group, and apparently one of the members can rectify the problem. New CDI units are $200 .

Comments:	Love the XR ONLY pages here, really interested in other riders here in the New England area, as I am stationed at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton,Ct. I joined the NETRA and they have gained recognition with sanctioned races and all, but... seems like the XR has been lost somewhere, well at least the 350R. I am the second owner of me 350R and I love her, seems people underestimate her til she gets by them. Really hard to get parts for her too, I'm trying to get a front rim from somewhere on OK and they sent me the wrong rim, here we go again... hopefully they'll get it right this time. ANYONE handy or know of anyone who can straighten the rim for under a kings ransom???? I'll keep checking back and please feel free to e-mail me with XR350R stuff. Michael

Comments:	Hello to all of you XR owners. I love my XR650L. It may be a fat heavy beast but it's fun to ride. I have modified my bike some. Took off the awful smog junk. Rejetted the carb. Changed the air filter to a K&N one. Put a XR's Only skid plate on it. And have an oil temp gauge for it too. I am wondering about the low-link to lower the seat height a bit. I can barely hit my toes with it in stock form. If any of you have lowered yours please tell me how you did it and the result. I would appreciate it a bunch. Thanks and keep the throttle pegged, Shawn - XRs forever!

My old XR600R was also very well (and fast enough for most KTMs, CRs, GasGas, Huskys & Co.) but the new one is a new one and that's the difference. It got more power and a better suspension. That's all I want to say. No time to loose, because I have to drive. Nice Website and go on with it, it's my favorite XR site on the net! A XR-fan from Germany

I'm thinking about putting my 600 engine into a CR 500 frame. I want to keep the 4 stroke dependability with the 2 stroke performance package. The 650R is still too bulky and heavy for the woods riding here in Alaska. What do you think? Any suggestions would be helpful.
