XR650L Build Introduction
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Well... we had so much fun with the TW200, that we decided to pick up another bike to start catering towards. We proudly introduce our 2008 Honda XR650L with a little over 7,500 miles on the odometer.
The bike has been used, as a bike should. So, unlike our TW200 that was pretty much new when we got it, this XRL will need some love. Follow along as we refresh this tired XR650L into the bike it needs to be!
- Chain has rubbed through the chain sliders, one all of the way to metal.
- All, top end gaskets, seals, and crush washers are leaking.
- Banjo fittings for oil lines are weeping.
- Clutch basket is showing wear from the clutch plates.
- Fuel tank is weeping from underside.
- Tires are old and weathered.
- The seat has seen better days.
- Headlight appears to be off of a Harley or Cruiser bike of some sort.
- Brakes are mushy.
- Suspension is sloppy and tired.
- Carb needs to be rebuilt.
- Chain and sprockets need to be replaced. (O-ring seals are falling out)
- Muffler needs repacking.
- Handlebar is bent.
- Footpegs are bent as well.
And a few other things not worth mentioning.

Glad you're excited, we're excited to see how it turns out as well!
Looking forward to seeing this build. I have a 2020 XR650L and I've done quite a bit to it already... using several ProCycle parts of course. Looking forward to the carb and suspension upgrades especially! Really looking forward to changing it up some more, but I love this bike for what it is...a "Thumper"!

That's awesome and thank you for choosing ProCycle to shop with. There's nothing like a good thumper!
I have a 2020 XR650L. Quite a bit has already been done to it. For example, it already has the DG RST muffler on it with the stock headers but I like it. I will be following this build pretty closely. I am an older rider at 72. So for the tighter more technical stuff, I am riding a Kawi KLX300. But I love the Honda so much I cannot get rid of it and love to take it out on fire roads or forest service roads or in the more open desert. I have a lowering link on it but if there is a way to lower it even more, that would be awesome! I appreciate what you guys are doing. Can't wait for future videos.

Thank you for watching the video and it seems like you've got a good plan with the smaller / lighter bike for the more technical stuff and the XRL for the more open terrain riding. As of recent, we do have a standard & low shock option available for the XR650L from Cogent. We are just trying to get a production run complete and a couple minor (non shock related) details ironed out before we can get it listed on our website. They will be available for purchase in the next couple of weeks.
Awesome! Talk about a tried and true machine if there's ever been one! The DR and XR650 are a dirt bike mechanics dream. Usually nothing but good ole service work. We call it "gravy" I was thinking since Honda's slogan is ride red or was, and you plan to maybe take it to baja, maybe the name "Rojo" :)

These classic thumpers are a mechanics dream for sure. Not having to deal with the coolant system every time you touch the motor is god sent. lol "Rojo" has a nice ring to it, almost rooools off the tongue. Haha

Excited about this one! Former TW owner who traded for a 2011 XR650L and have now done a bunch of upgrades. Can’t wait to see what you do!

That's a big trade UP. Literally. Haha Stick around as we have been working with companies before this release and have some cool things making their way down the pike.
Hemisphere off-road has a lot of great parts. Possibly the best skid plate available for the XR 650L.

Additionally, they have a great subframe support. It’s extremely easy to install. The oiler coolers, from what most people say in the XR 650L group on Facebook, adds very little benefit.

Thanks for the great information! We'll be sure to check them out.
If you guys are sticking with the red theme you could call it Clifford the big red dog. Hahaha. Looking forward to seeing updates on this bike for sure. Iam also short 5’4” and would love to see what you guys can come up with.

Haha, that's a great name for the big red thumper. Stay tuned as we are actively working on options to lower the XR650L and thanks for watching!
Super excited about this project! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the desert legend! I’d like to see it made better for both on and off road use, so looking forward to the next installment!

We're excited too! This bike has a lot of history behind it, and we want to do it right. So, it will be a fun project to find a balance of off-road & street performance. Stay tuned as we have new parts & old returning to the market.
There’s some info online about swaping internals with a European model to bring second gear down from how tall it is. Would love to see that done
