Hi all from a newbie

Ex GSXR 1000 K5 rider. I have moved over to the supermoto / enduro side and bought an XR650R with Both sets of wheels, brakes, topar yoke, plastics etc etc even a different tank. Am loving the bike and have been viewing the forum on here since i bought it and thought i had better join up now so I can start asking questions. Siezed on saturday. Looks like big end or summat as engine is full of bronze coloured shavings. Anyway will save that for the xr forum.
Hi all and hope to hook up sometime on on of your green lane rideouts

Welcome JT, bad news about the bike, but as you've probably found out the XR forum can be a wealth of information
