Hi again :),here i'll present my 2000 650R witch i bought 7 months ago.I'm trying to do everything with this bike ... commuting,offroad trips and trailriding (sometimes tight trails).
It has some good staff on it as CRD skid plate,Acerbis tank (and OEM),Trailtech Vapor,wide pegs and American style headlight.

(https://i.imgur.com/S26HJYn.jpg)
I have read to xr-italia that in Italy there is not knowing incidents about broken right foot pegs but i don't know if this is same in Greece.So i changed wright foot peg's screws with 12.9 Grade according to this

Rear wheel spacers fromn All Balls,oem spacers are not in good shape

Another friend fabricated passenger pegs
(https://i.imgur.com/eHEiM3P.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/vy1Hmhc.jpg)
Givi rack
(https://i.imgur.com/YYDViFy.jpg)
For installing the rack i had to put back tail sub frame
(https://i.imgur.com/W29kBVw.jpg)
New disc brake (for second rear wheel),new chain and 14T front sprocket (i've also 15T).
(https://i.imgur.com/wztWLLi.jpg)

Oil filter o'ring was leaking so i changed it with new
(https://i.imgur.com/ei4hkYf.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/xj9l46a.jpg)
Swing arm was working well but when i took it apart to grease axle and bearings some of them weren't in good shape
(https://i.imgur.com/w8gkAB7.jpg)
So i changed all of them with Prox kit
(https://i.imgur.com/E2vxmz8.jpg)
As i said before i have second rear wheel so i was looking for another front wheel to have two sets of wheels,one for off road and another for commuting and trips.
As i was searching to web i saw an interesting and easy to do front 19'' wheel conversion.The NX250 wheel is almost plug and play with 650R.So i bought one and changed bearings,seals and inside collar (spacer).
(https://i.imgur.com/ZSy4pEk.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/gUe9Ah2.jpg)
And put Shinko's 705
(https://i.imgur.com/NjunnuG.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/OPeot9d.jpg)
First impessions are that this set up works very well to 650R.
To be continued :birra:

Good work! ;)
it is exactly the work to be done on the bike to rebuild it

Hi again
The horn,rear brake light and trailtech were not working so i checked the wiring of my xr.One wire from condencer was cutted so i fixed it
(https://mototrail.gr/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3dd92758d1390abe179947843870b92d19b6d25d.jpeg)
Everything works fine now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPvGEnzDP6s&feature=youtu.be
I took apart the exhaust tip to clean it ..
(https://mototrail.gr/uploads/default/original/2X/8/88b1054e9a7b238d97204c49f9207bb2127dd277.jpeg)
But something is missing here.Is this better/worst for engine performance or it doesn't matter at all?
(https://mototrail.gr/uploads/default/original/2X/a/aaaed7a7f9e05278017b2a07f905db9fbd281731.jpeg)

(https://mototrail.gr/uploads/default/original/2X/3/348b283a2fda3c60dbc4cfaa2ab07b856b4a83ef.png)

(https://mototrail.gr/uploads/default/original/2X/1/137a4d1a1d0563915c12ef5096ca90eff1b545df.jpeg)
I put in 2.5W
(https://mototrail.gr/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d8aeea24c082a809bf97587c9917fd73fcb7bf36.jpeg)
I didn't have wire so i used a rope :D
(https://mototrail.gr/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d9623c8fbed91d88ca7a8b092c9e7ed5139b85b2.jpeg)
Fork performance is much better now and is more comfortable to hard terain.
Pics below are from my last ride one week ago.I had bought this fairing for my (ex) Dominator 650 but i kept it after Domi's sale to use it for long distances with my 650R

Hi
I bought this headlight,total cost was 27euros https://www.ebay.com/itm/4x6-High-Low-Beam-LED-Healights-or-Honda-XR250-XR400-XR650-Suzuki-DRZ/263388858468?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180306143914%26meid%3D1cbd1f74db674b62ae61ceb79e5df2f3%26pid%3D100935%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D254040207272%26itm%3D263388858468&_trksid=p2349624.c100935.m2460
Combination of stock and very simple handmade brackets

I don'the know if this headlight is legal in Italy but i think for this price is very good.This is a review (not from me) which I totally agree with.
https://youtu.be/hN7Xls2zKvg
if the difference is like on the video it's a good upgrade :)
well done, but here in Italy is not legal, anyway good job
I have a question: original headlight is AC powered, led headlight needs 9-30 DC Power; have you modified the electrical circuit or led headlight also works with AC power?

This is good question,unfortunately i don't have answer because i'm not good at all about electrics and i don't know if previous owners have done modifications to electrical circuit ::) .
I don't use blinkers (flashes) and for brake/taillight i use led bulb.In this video is stock headlight but with H4 55W (or 60W i don't remember) instead of stock 35W and it worked without problems.

Can anyone propose me a type of new chain ?EK x-ring after one year (about 7.000 to 9.000kms I have done) must be replaced.
I'm thinking for DID VX2,Renthal XRR ,Renthal XMR but if you have something else i'm all ears :) .

Hi again :)
I ordered from ebay did VX2 but seller send me VX3.I don't know differences between VX2 and VX3 but I have not time to send it back so I installed it to my bike.

New front 15T sprocket from Sunstar

Let's see how long it will last
(http://i.imgur.com/6aaA0Lb.jpg)
I found and bought for cheap two SM wheels and I will paint one of them to match the other.
Hubs are from pre '95 XR250R and XR600R (I think they are same).Front was plug and play and for rear seller gave me axle (maby from 650R) which was decreased to lathe.Rear disc brake is from Transalp 650 (240mm) which fits perfect to XR250/600 hub.

Hello again.
I'm doing a top end rebuild and I need intake and exhaust valves.Are aftermarket (vesrah or similar) valves good for 650R or I must stay to OEM which are too expensive (especially Exhaust valve).
If yes does anyone knows where to search in Europe for aftermarket?
is difficult to find this kind of aftermarkets parts in Europe ,you can find a lot of alternatives in USA but you have to calculate if with shipping and custom fees the price is still better than OEM
Thanks lelef, I agree about custom fees+shipping from USA. Fortunately I found and ordered at good orice one OEM exhaust valve from ebay Europe and I'm keep searching for other 3.
Hello again,some pics from top end rebuild

Hi, I hope you all right from Corona virus situation.
I contact blitalia for gas tank, price is 490 (included shipping to Greece and crf radiator shrounds) and capacity is 7.5 litres. Has anyone from here purchased (bought) recently this tank (last months) to tell me what is the price to Italy and capacity to liters?
I'm reading in this forum that old tanks were at 6.5 liters and new ones 8 liters. I know that one tank from other are not exactly the same but I want to know for new ones.
I'm not writing to other thread about this kind of tank because of English language.
I wish all of you to have happy new year :birra:
I think that the 7.5 litres is the newer one, the one that we call "8 litres"
I don't know the actual price of the tank
OK, do you know if I can use any '05-'07 crf shrounds or I must buy pecifically these from Blitalia?
the shrouds are stock or aftermarket CRF 450 2005-> 2007
Thanks
put some silicon paste on your chain clip, it prevents losing it .
A case saver is a good upgrade, you can also built it by yourself

Hi everybody
I have found in good price this Acerbis exhaust but I can't find any information about that. Does anyone know something? Material, sound, weight etc.
https://imgur.com/a/0kgtsCf
acerbis is only a sticker, not the brand of that exhaust,
anyway I don't recognize the brand, maybe Giannelli
yes, it seems an old stile economic aftermarket.
Weight reduction ? ok
more hp ? not think too much,only a loud sound
if you want both a complete system is needed,headers + silencer and from a good brand
I've found that Acerbis was selling in past some exhausts for 2stroke bikes
https://images.app.goo.gl/CnVB1opnQLqPeXqG9
Somewhere I saw similar exhaust of previous post for older 4stroke ktm exc model. Maybe some kind of cooperation between Acerbis and exhaust manufacturer?
Anyway I don't care so much for more power, I know that stock exhaust has very good performance (maybe the best at least low to mid rpms).
Any opinions for complete Remus double exhaust? There is a seller here in Greece who sales one in very good condition.
Hi everybody
I want to install winkers and flash relay to my 650.Original (oem) flash relay is quite expensive, can anyone propose me an alternative (after market) flash relay?
the mosts works in the same way and the XR ins't an exception so, any cheap relay with the same pinouts should fit
Thanks for help my friend :ok:
