A popular version of this is the side cover cutout. A Dremel, LED pencil torch, and Prestik put the mesh frames into place and cut outside the side cover. Parts — For racers, there are high-performance parts available through parts dealers.
Your need for XRR parts will depend on whether you plan to take it on the track or go off-roading. If it is on-track, make sure you take off the high-output stator and headlights. For jumps, invest in a steering damper.
Honda XRL vs. Depending on your use for the bike, you may go for less aggressive knobs or vice-versa. DOT-legal Headlight — Depending on the year, make, and model of your dirt bike, you may need to get a new stator to help power your headlight, turn signals, brake lights, and taillights. Take note that your headlight will need to have a high and low beam function.
Horn — The usual sound requirement is that a horn must be audible from at least feet away, but may vary per state some states require an electric horn. Your new stator should have enough juice to power the horn and all the lighting your bike needs. Otherwise, you may need to install a small motorcycle battery to make this work. License Plate Bracket — There are plenty of fender kits available that include a replacement fender with a license plate holder and license plate light.
Rearview Mirror — It needs to provide a view of at least feet to the rear and is usually mounted on the left side. Reflectors — Some states require this at the front, rear, or both ends of a dirt bike. These are an added safety feature when driving in low light or dark situations. Make sure to find out state-specific guidelines on size and mounting.
Turn Signals — Refer to specific state rules when mounting front and rear turn signals. There are rules about how high off the ground and how far apart the turn signals should be mounted. Additionally, your turn signals will need to have a self-canceling feature. Additional Requirements The challenging part is getting the paperwork or the sign-off from your local motor vehicle office done.
In California, any off-highway motorcycle with a cc displacement or higher purchased after December 31, , is not eligible for on-highway or dual-use registration unless the manufacturer initially certified the vehicle through the ARB to meet the California on-highway emission standards.
XR stands for cross-country racer. Is the Honda XRR street-legal? The XRR is not street-legal, but you can register it to be one. Make sure to refer to state-specific regulations. It is also essential to have the bike pass inspection on the road. When did Honda stop making XR? The last production year of the Honda XRR was in , but the Japanese manufacturer announced this plan as early as However, other XR series models continue to be in production to date.
A good example of this is the XRL, which is still being sold with its specifications. How much does a Honda XRR cost? Personally I find it ok but not brilliant , and the step actually makes quite a nice perch when you are semi-standing off-road. The plastic 'cheeks' on the edge of the tank are essentially sacrificial and pretty robust at the same time , protecting the main tank in the event of a fall.
The body work is painted rather than self-coloured plastic, so it will show scratches eventually, although my black bike has black plastic underneath, so the visual impact should be minimal. As you surmise, it seems a very well thought out machine, especially for the price it's considered very cheap for a new bike in the UK.
One neat touch is the clutch cover has a small protective plate over the lower edge, to stop any damage from the brake lever in the event of a fall.
The gear lever is spring tipped and steel so can be bent back into position in a serious crash. The bike comes with braced alloy bars, that look like Renthals but are a copy. Some say they are weak in comparision, but that might just be with the weight of a Kg bike on them?! No matter, Renthal etc. The Tenere engine is large, and the frame is steel. But like I say, the Tenere carries it's weight well on the move, it's only a struggle picking the bastard up!
As for mpg. The tank holds 23 litres, which is just over 5 UK gallons. I reckon you've got a range of around miles on that, so around 60mpg would seem reasonable? Hi leevtr. I'm a fan of the XRL as you can sometimes be very glad you have an old school air cooled bike in some parts of the world! Also a few generic XR parts are common as well. The steel frame needs a bit of bracing if you are carrying luggage as the constant thrashing it will get off road will stress it heavily.
I have just finished bracing an XRL frame for just this reason see pic. The battery box on the XRL sits just in the right place to get smashed by rocks left hand side opposite the tailpipe as it is plastic so a steel replacement would be a good idea. They are hard to find in the UK but they are about and you can pick up a bargain sometimes too. Let me know how you get on bud. Attached Thumbnails. Last edited by djorob; 5 Oct at Baron Bolton. That frame looks sexual, good job mate.
So if anyone wants a slightly over priced, overland prepared XRL, give me a shout! Sorry, off topic. MollyDog, you certainly seem to be a fountain of knowledge on here, on almost an hourly basis!

I believe you were refering to the XRL though. Ones oil other is air. Keep the info coming though guys, Im looking for a bike, and am still trying to decide which one and for what uses will it be used regularly and what uses seldomly. Ah, thats cool man.
