Awesome video this is actually awesome and giving me inspiration! I went out west and brought back in 87 XL 600R. The guy I got it from had bought it not realizing it was a desert race bike so the motor was basically worn out. He went ahead a great deal of expense to basically do what you're doing and it just became too big of a pain in the ass for him after he got the motor back. It has now sat for 20 years.. so I have a fresh motor but everything else is smoked getting parts for that thing has been an not fun . I'm taking a break . . watching this video as I'm assembling that dual carb setup because that is it has its own set of issues trying to jet it for the mods the engine builder did
Man I'm still laughing from that jump jr did on that street bike. I bought a Honda silver wing for $50 one time,took all the fairing off, that old junk would haul ass to 100...lol
I had stock internal gearing with 15/43 and some 17's, and riding street, my thrust washers shredded. Full rebuild. Thrust washer shavings tattered up the oil pumps rotors. So new rod and new oil pump rotors, a 100mm 11:1 wiseco, and now she's 15/45 been running fine over ten years. All street . Rotella T6 is my oil. I have an fcrmx41 also. HUGE game changer, an accelerator pump carb.
Just got mine back 445$ with piston Over bore /hone Ring fitting Gaskets Those pistons are almost 200$ It costs but you should expect that in today’s world
I just don’t understand how ignorant people are. An oil change every hard ride takes 15 minutes. Cleaning an air filter 10 minutes. Maintenance on these 4 strokes is so easy.
