    Man, a lot more time consuming than my single cylinder 650! Kudos to you for your patience and the required attention to details. To clean my jets, I use brake cleaner and a single strand of wire from a welders brush. I'll take a cotton ear swab soaked in brake cleaner to rub down all...

    Carb work on the XR650R. My son took the bike out a while back and brought it back in a "its not running and I dont know why" condition. I could tell the idle screw, choke, and everything on the carb had been toyed with in his attempt to get it back to running condition. I appreciate his...

    nateo said: We're also living in a post-peak micro-brew world, at least where I live. 10 years ago I had 3 micro-breweries within 10 minutes of my house (half an hour outside of the nearest major urban centre). Today they're all gone. About 10-15 years ago craft breweries were popping up...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Motard? I have an XR650R that was setup for motard at one point, but it's now setup for scrambles. Being older now, the scrambles leave me a lot more sore, so I might be setting up for road use again. 25 years old and still thumpin'.
