G'day, new member, Broome, Australia.

Hi guys,

Just brought a 2001 XR650R with 9,600 kms on the clock. I got this off the original owner and the bike is stock standard, original every thing! Only work that has been done is the Honda power tip and jetting. Looking forward to doing it up from front to back. Already had to drill out the r/h chain adjustment bolt and use a helicoil. Also replaced the r/h foot peg bolts with new HT ones, just used a small spacer for where the allen bolt was to enable the use of a normal bolt.

Anyways, thanks for a great forum guys.

Gus.
