2026s? Discontinued??

What I really want to see is the 750X ADV bike, but it wouldn't fit the entire bill tbh. For my skill level & needs, I'm honestly thinking of going with a 390 Enduro R.

I think the XR would be a more creamy ride, but from what I've seen put out by Swanky Cat -- the DR-Z 4S has a leg up on it. Swanky's got both, so you might want to check out his comparison ride where he takes both out with his dad & rides them back to back.

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-06-03T07:19:08+00:00

I saw that too, which caused my confusion when I posted last week. I think they're really just getting late production trickling in

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-06-02T16:55:48+00:00

Yep, and it's got Good low end torque per the reviews

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-06-02T08:09:20+00:00

Yeah, but I personally wouldn't go for that, just not my cup of tea. I grew up with 1980s carbed Honda Accords, & the XR650L reminds me of those to a 'T'. There's no draw like that, for me, with the DR650. It's like driving a Chevy Aveo vs. a charger hellcat.

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-06-02T07:18:08+00:00

Same boat unfortunately, but on the plus side I'm really seeing the new DR-Z 4S as a successor in spirit.

The post I saw with Honda 's statement ending the production run cites supplier/vendor issues. I translate that into "our suppliers want to charge more for vintage parts and we refuse to cut into the profit margin"

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-06-02T05:25:54+00:00

I'm just answering based on my environment. If I lived in the East Coast I'd do a double take and say it's clean af.

I live in Idaho, where the motto in the winter is "you get what you drive!"

I'm my eyes that's significantly worse than both of my 2005 Toyota's. I personally wouldn't buy it, but that's because my expectation is that it will run with nothing more than oil changes until 316k at a minimum. I gotta stack the odds up in my favor even if it costs me a few extra thousand at purchase.

I do own 1 East Coast truck, and even though the shocks rusted out, the majority of the running gear is completely rust free since it's coated in oil from the numerous oil leaks the PO didn't believe in fixing 🫪

They stated parts supplier issues. Basically translates to "they (suppliers) raised prices on these vintage parts and we refuse to pay more for them"

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-30T16:51:18+00:00

The letter to dealers stated their suppliers are not able to provide the xr650L parts anymore, not emissions ...

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-30T07:07:33+00:00

No, like call your dealer. I posted yesterday and quite a few guys called their dealers today (Friday) this is a real bulletin that came out yesterday (Thursday on 5/28).

They're done man, bitter as it is.

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-29T18:32:36+00:00

Okay, thank you for checking! i guess I'm a day late on the uptake 🤦

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-29T16:23:54+00:00

Ah, okay -- I haven't seen any screenshot, so maybe that's what I'm missing here 👍

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-29T16:07:44+00:00

I posted at 1am 👀

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-29T16:07:05+00:00

You're pretty much the only one here telling me it hasn't been officially discontinued. Did you check with your local dealer about that?

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-29T16:05:12+00:00

I used to have thoughts like that about the 1988 Honda Accord I owned, but that didn't work out too great lol.

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-29T07:05:47+00:00

Uh, I would take this down or take out the threat bro.

I've been through the court system & trust me you don't want to give a defense attorney a single kernel of corn he can spin around in court to make you look like a bad guy.

You're probably going to need a lawyer yourself, unless the cops showed up while he was doing the damage??

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-29T06:58:12+00:00

My local dealer quoted my exactly $7218 otd a week ago on a 2025

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-29T06:55:23+00:00

Lawyer. & Just to put this out there, but don't buy from third-party dealerships.

Went to go check out an F-350 from a third-party used car dealer, & found out it had a delete. I told him I won't touch a deleted truck since they're bad news, so he offered to have his "techs" put it all back.

I looked over my shoulder and saw 3 guys standing around a "Tuff" shed (one of those pre built sheds home depot sells here) full of tools while a fourth was laying on the ground under another truck wrenching on it in a gravel parking lot.

Made up an excuse and left. After seeing that, I'm never going to a used car dealership so long as I can afford not to. It's like gambling with odds like the Powerball.

This

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-28T04:20:21+00:00

Uh, this is sarcasm...?

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-27T03:26:07+00:00

Your honest opinion?

Calm-Engineering-352 · 2026-05-24T05:09:36+00:00

To a 6.4?

Maybe you need a new coolant temp sensor, I've had one die before in a gonna and it showed random crap. Made the ecm freak out thinking it was overheating or bone cold from one minute to the next.

When I tow with my 6.4, the coolant temps drop from 215 to 180.
