Is there a difference XR250,R,L

[Graeme B]

Hi there everyone Im a honda XR250 fan in South Africa and I need some basic help. Ive been looking for a workshop manual for my 1995 Honda XR250 but have only found a manual for the XR250L and XR250R. Could I use any of these for working on my XR250. What is the difference between my XR250 and the XR250R and XR250L, hell while Im at it where does the XL250R fit in, is there a big difference? Any help would be appreciated.

The 250L model has electric start and more road equipment ie. lights / indicators
XL models are more road bias.
the engine is basically the same.

Thanks Airwolf, does this apply to the XR250R aswell.

Once again Airwolf thanks, I appreciate it. I also found a shop (www.autobooks.co.za) which is on the other side of South Africa, Pretoria, that has what they say is the correct workshop manual for my bike. Clymer m328-4 which has the XR250 from 1978-2000. As soon as I get back home from my Rig in West Africa im gonna buy it and get them to post it to me its too far to go fetch approx 1600km, hope its the right manual.
