New Bike

[glascoed1]

Hi all, just bought myself a 2000 model xr650r after yrs on a zx9r on the road. Just come back from trying her out, 5 mile road then trip around very rough hill in mid wales. What a brill bike, but I've got a lot of learning to do off road, only droped it 4 times. But got a huge grin on my face. Power is a bit scary on grass but good fun. What kind of money would a lowering link be as i'm a bit of a short arse, or will I get used to balancing on tip toes? Cheers

welcome to the site, my better half says you can buy a lowering link for the XR.

Try XR stuff

don't forget to drop the forks through the yokes a corresponding amount or you'll still find it a pig to ride.

luverly if you need any help Pm as I have a 650 r beasty in the garage begging to be let loose again on the hills, also ride meet ups and ride out as there are several of us that go out together riding the green lanes and tracks in Sunny South Wales, and the world. j
