Let me paint the picture for you:
-ive had this bike like 3 months
-spent 2 weeks casually getting it to start
-get it to sputter at 8 at night in december with it raining lightly
-moto bro shows up 5 min later as im rolling it out for a test ride
Perfect timimg lol
Wet driveway pavement/muddy road, 40 degrees, 8+ year old tires...
Test rides were sketchy!
Its more of a beast than I thought it would be though, super torquey, and just real basic and mechanical feeling in a good way. Its pretty much a big carbed air cooled thumper motor with a seat and handlebars, SO much fun, I wish I could keep it.
ah, man. i would throw a kickstand on and leave it as is! gotta send this to my buddy, he misses his 650 'tard every season. nice work gettin' her worthy again! :hellyeah:
*shifter could go up a spline ... i need a bike like this some day, thumper beater for the backroads.
Good eye, i did adjust the shifter up a spline!Quote:

didn't know the XR600R is like the 426; wonky procedure compared to most bikes; but once you figure it out, it's not bad.
UPDATE:
bike was brought into owners living room for the winter...
Dogs knocked it over and broke a handguard, lever, gauge mount, and bent the shift lever....
