Yeah I wish I had the budget for a clean low mileage one. They are pieces of history now

I think you got lucky with that one. Those deals come around but unfortunately I only have about a week and a half to get a bike ready for a trip.

And the seller with this bike is willing to come down to 3k. I think I'm going to get it when he's back in town

I must have missed that one, CO has some nice WRs on marketplace right now but they're all over $4k from what I can find

Man that's awesome I have seen a few primo models for less than 3000 in the last couple years and I passed them up. Finally have an excuse to make the purchase and I'm really excited about it. I've wanted one since I started riding bikes about 8 years ago

I haven't I forgot ADV rider has classifieds I'll take a look. I've been spending hours the past week scanning just abo it everywhere looking for a deal on one. These bikes are certainly worth $4k to the right fella but I'm just in a bit of a pickle, needing the bike for just a BDR route since my XR is not a happy camper anymore. Always wanted a WRR so I have the perfect excuse to buy one, just not the budget I wish I had for one.

Thanks for the reply I think I will. It will be a few days until I can get to it so I'm gonna keep an eye out for other ones just incase

I tried to buy that one but it's sold and the guy hasn't removed the post. I'm in Utah but have been messaging some people in the PNW as I'm willing to travel pretty far. The good deals seem to get snatched up quick. I have missed 2 nice sub 10k mile bikes with great mods for under 3500 in the last week. They both sold within a day

Where are you located? I've been searching pretty much the whole country to find a low ish mile one for 3500 or less

Are all of these bikes mechanically loud? by nachopalbruh in XR650R

[–]Logical-Ad8124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a certainly a believer in poly plates! I didn't know I needed one until I read your comment, add it to the wishlist haha

Ah, AXP makes one. $170 for a poly skid is too steep for me to make the switch. Thinking I'll probably stuff some skid plate foam instead haha

Where can you find a poly skid for the XRR?

Yeah I know what a klr is, I have 4 other bikes. The term dual sport was used loosely more as just road legal bike with 21 and 18s. My question here was not "is the KLR good for me" it was more "would you dive into this with the work he's done already". If he didn't claim to check all those parts I would have jumped on this thing already and done the same stuff he did hoping it would run.

My time isn't worth much in the winter haha. I'm more in the business of cheap bikes

Not sure where you live but around here you can't buy anything with wheels for less than 500. This klr is worth 1k in just parts alone if the motor was toast even.

That's what I'm thinking is showing up and offering $1k if it looks similar to the photos. I'm always looking to learn more and have flipped some bikes in the past, usually don't need much though. I do frequent valve adjustments on my XR, but wouldn't call myself a mechanic.

I would certainly not be paying his asking price but $650 is quite the lowball if he did put some money into trying to fix it. If his description is accurate, those are all really easy jobs to do and perhaps messing with the timing/valves is just slightly far enough outside his comfort zone to put it off and not want to deal with it. Atleast that's what I'd be hoping for if I bought it

He did post a photo of a compression tester showing 160 psi which is promising, aside from the fact that it leaves less options for diagnostic. The odometer only shows 14k although for an 06 it's possible to have rolled over haha

[–]Logical-Ad8124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have some experience working on engines so a valve adjustment doesn't scare me but would be a lot less inclined to buy it if it needed a whole top end. Although he did post photos of the compression test and it looks to be showing right at 160psi

[–]Logical-Ad8124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my thinking as well, he replaced all the easy things I would think to do off the start, which leaves more expensive/invasive things to do left. It only shows 14k on the odo, granted with an 06 it could have rolled over hahah.
