It's caused by constant high revs, which obviously it was never designed to have to cope with as motocross tracks don't generally have 10 mile long straights

I'll try and dig out the exact components that fail and any fixes the guys over here have come up with

 

Regular maintenance on motards is all it takes, and from the ones i've seen, regualr maintenance is very quick, very easy, and quite cheap. Mine doesn't need servicing as often as I do it, but that's for my piece of mind. Guys I know, change the oil/filters on their Husabergs/CRFs/YZs every couple of hundred miles. But to be fair, those 'couple of hundred miles' are usually pretty harsh! :YEAH

The time you spend stunting far out weights the time you spend making sure they runs sweet.

 

I just bought my first real supermoto about a month ago (XR650R)...I tell you what...it is the most fun I've had on a bike yet..no ****. You can't quite do all the tricks like on a sportbike (slow stuff mainly) but it is fun man. I'm working on the circles right now :YEAH Last video we made shows some action on it. Here's a link:

theres a motard forum ive been looking at....i think i wanna build a street legal motard

 

Yeah, I saw your vid.. everytime I see something like that it makes me want one more and more! Endos looks fun as hell on those things!

 

It's funny because I've been practicing endos on th 929 and the TTR125 for ALOT longer than the xr650. I've got about 200ft. on the 929 and 250ft. on the TTR....I've had the 650 for a month and I hit 300 consistant everytime.

If someone rode the 650 that really knew what the hell they were doing they could probably break some records.

 

Bout how much did the 650 w/ wheels etc. run you?

 

urs truly

-"B.S."

 

anyone one know any good websites to pick up motard tires....for xr's and ttr's i need an assortment?

 

Thats what im doin. just gonna put street legal tires on my dirtbike rims and rock it like that b/c the parents wont let me get a street bike to stunt on while im "in their house". its classic **** b/s that im sick of

I don't know the individual prices for everything because it had been converted over before I bought it. This is basically what the bike has though:

2000 xr650r
Excel 17" wheels with stock hubs,
Floating Rotor front disc with 4 piston caliper and aftermarket master cyl.
Baja Designs Street legal kit (kit includes: Street Legal headlight assembly containg battery, turn signals, running/brake light, wiring, license plate frame, horn, kill switch.



Paid $5000 for the bike (also has Full FMF exhaust, Edelbrock carb, and stage 2 Hot cam)

Dude I bought it from had a hell of a time getting it registered here in Alabama(failed inspection twice)

Bike has around 55 to 60 hp weighs 270lbs and runs 120mph

CRF450 would be faster and lighter but apparently they have oil lubrication problems when ran on the road at contant rpm's

**** is definitly fun man

 

you gonna rock that thing at the Stunt Comp in november?

 

Gonna try man. I'm was getting real comfortable on the bike. Now I gotta pull the motor and replace the output shaft bearing and seal. Had the chain adjusted too damn tight and wore it out

 

Sorry, no time to go through all the posts and see what else has been said... The one and only place to start looking for motard is www.supermotojunkie.com . they are rebuilding the site so it's lost most of it's content, but not it's members... It's to motard what stuntlife is to the freestyle scence. It's west coast based ( that's where 90% of motard is happening right now)... It is THE place to start with motard questions. If you're socal based my friends at www.apexsupermoto.com and www.apexmoto.com do things just above cost.. www.thumpertalk.com has motard guys on it. www.supertt.com is for the west coast racing organization run by Don Canet.. www.svsupermoto.com is the vegas based racing organization... If you want to race supermoto dont get the factory street legal models, they are tame on power and are too heavy... It's like taking your Gixxer 1k and going against Mladin's Yosh prepped superbike... I got a million other links but not on this computer... There should be enough here to get people started.. www.cycleforums has a motard section but it's not as active. supermotojunkie has people from Europe and Austrailia as well as the US, New Zeland, etc..
'nuff said.

damn that sucks, hopefully you'll be ridin it by november, cuz i wanna see you rockin that thing at the stunt comp

 

YEah it'll be runnin .. I'll make sure. 929 and TTR will be in effect too. We got the circle game down on the TTR's...fast, slow any way you like 'em just don't ask us to do 'em to the right

 

i'll be sure to ask that

 

Hell Fun to ride with

 

You can make anybike street legal here, you cant sell any 2 strokes street legal though. And a RMX Had a better stator so it could run lights so your gonna have to get a better one for your rm.

 

yeah Im working on saving the money to convert it over.
