Just needs a license plate...

I've been using 927.
I've been mixing it at 40:1, but it seems like I should use less oil.

What are you guys mixing at?

So this is the Redline 80W gear oil - green. The oil coming out was probably ATF. It is plum colored. It doesn't want to drain into the pan. This stuff has been sitting for about 1/2 hr & won't drain into the oil pan. Ran the bike & got on it & it's happy... http://www.durknhi.com/durknh...

My brother just had his seal go last week when riding.
I've never had problems with mine.

Nice afroengineering....

So I tried to reply on the other site & there's quite a language sensor...

Turned my 'BFD' into:
Big crappity smacking Deal

I hadn't been on there in over a year, and what I saw I didn't like.
Those guys get bent out of shape over a new guy selling stickers?

I got one of the Gopro 960's. They had them at Costco. The ride started out misting, but then it was a light rain. The rain on the lens kind of screwed up the footage. We got into heavier rain & the inside of the housing fogged up. It was a wet day. I think they have moisture absorbent pieces yo...

I had a plated two stroke WR250.
My brothers got it now.

It has a 300 head on it.
Hell of a bike.
The wide ratio tranny was nice.

The 500 must be sweet...

I like the Redline synthetic oils.
They make motorcycle specific oils for clutches.

I use their 80W motorcycle gear oil in the CR500af.
I use their 10-40 motorcycle oil in the XR-650r.

: bling : and how the hell is everyone? Ok, so you may know I sold my Dual Sport 500AF to a great guy here on the island (durkn..you still around?) and now I'm vintage racing several bikes including a 1980 CR125R Elsinore. I have a motor problem I'm hopin you genius' Hoon's can help me with. The 19...

Hoax & Chains...

Yeah, Obama is a worthless POS.

He & Hillary looked like they couldn't believe what happened, when OBL was killed. But Obama took the credit.

I put on a set of Pirelli Scorpion XCMH.

They seem harder than the previous tires & skid easier on asphalt.
May get better as I wear them down a bit.

I ride mine on the street regularly.
Went to Costco to get something yesterday.
I take it to the post office, supermarket...

You just have to be careful with knobs on the road & easy on the throttle in slight turns.

Welcome, from the Big Island...

Are you going to try to plate it?
My 500af was plated here a couple years ago.

Yeah, optimistic or opportunistic...

Get it plated ship it to your buddy in CA & have him CA street legal title it.
It will go quick...

I saw this while browsing - not mine

It passes the safety check for streel legal plate.

THe KLR's, XR650L's & DR650's are heavy. The XR-650r is around 280. You can open them up to get alot more HP. If you want to ride hard, in the dirt, go with the R. You can ride them real hard, they are just not big jumpers. The others are good on roads, if you will spend alot of time on asphalt.

Hey Durkin....did you buy my old "widowmaker"? Welcome to the best site on the net! I popped on just to see if you found it. Good job! Enjoy her! Skidmark Hey, I just found this post. Yes, it's your bike. This thing is a blast to ride. Love the two stroke. Wish it had the range to go arou...

It had the front guards on it.

It took a shot to where the side plastic mounts to the side of the radiator.

Not sure I can fix it - maybe a weld fix.

So i'm loading the bikes & threading tie downs between spokes, and the CR5 tips & hits the bed rail. Didn't think much of it, because it was close to the side & didn't hit too hard. The plastics mount to the radiator, & I guess it took a square hit on the side. I've got a cracked rad...

I had Baja Designs rewind mine to 200W in 03, when they were still doing service.

I don't think they are doing service anymore.

Night rides are nice.

I'm running Maxxis non DOT tires on my af.
I don't think Ill be able to renew with non DOT.

I'm running a Pirelli MT-16 on the front of the XR-650r, & I like it.
Running a Terraflex on the rear, but I need to consider others.
It's a 140/100-18
