@@mikeyerke3920 at 62 years old and 48 years of riding... I retired the CR 250 2 stroke.. at about 45 , for a early retirement present , I picked up the 2006 Kawasaki concours 1000 cc. Ninja Plus.. 😮. Pure luxury.... And she will do 120 mph in third gear , at redline... But at 3000 or 4000 RPMs she's just like a 500cc.

Make sure you swap out the front counter sprocket for one of the thicker ones. I think most guys get the Fritz Co, Rocky Mountain ATV or the old XR650R. I just went OVER 15,000 miles on my pretty much bone stock XR650L with zero problems. I typically always get 52 mpg which is why I won’t uncork it. If I wanta shred something I take my KTM 350, that little pea shooter hauls arse.

I replaced the sprocket with a Fritzco, (stock size). It’s good for a peace of mind! KTM 350? Very nice! That thing must be a pleasure off road. 🔧

52MPG, that’s pretty good. Mine is nowhere near that. Of course I ride like an idiot, that may have something to do with it… Nevertheless, I am going with the XRs Only exhaust and jet kit, as power is a far more important goal, than is fuel economy. I did the smog delete as well, because I really hate the popping and lack of good throttle response. Exhaust video coming soon… 🔧
