  • With a fresh set of tyres and a couple of clear days between rain it was time to blow the cobwebs out of the old xr!

      Correct, in Europe too.
      But that's a lot for a decades old dirt bike.
      So there has to be something about it!
      Any same age European enduro bike costs you half that or less.
      I sure do like my 2001 road legal XR400R.

For only 650 in so far not a bad bike got to get the plastics kit and maybe do a full teardown and wreanch rabbit now that i have a runner. Shes leaking oil out the stator wire if anyones seen and dealt with this curious to what you found
