That looked like a nice Xr600 to start with but a comprehensive prep for the future well done.

@@RAWBikesTV - question for you: I have 2 engines for my XR600R - the original kicker and a 1998 NX650 with estart. They are both good - which would you choose if you were in my shoes? Thanks!
@RAWBikesTV10 күн бұрын
@@nicowarr ... The XR600R feels a bit more "peppy" than the NX650 engine but in fairness it's just been rebuilt... I like kick start engines for the Sandraiders as the battery cannot go flat but many prefer the electric start as if stalled on the side of a hill, it's much easier to get going .... In one of my Sandraiders 2023 (pt4 The dead camel), I got lost and dropped the bike... It nearly did not start and the battery was running low ... It made me think about having a flat battery in the middle of nowhere on your own 😳 ... Yes, we have an emergency GPS tracker fitted, so you should be safe .... It really depends if you are happy to "kick" ...

@@RAWBikesTV Thank you - just watched that video - losing your way must've been frustrating as hell! On the XR, how do you find it to kick when the engine is hot?

Great video love these bikes . One thing you should probably check. The two banjo bolts that hold the pipe between the head and crankcase are two different part numbers and have different size holes for the oil feed.The darker one goes next to the oil filter and the zinc one goes to the head. I noticed your head bolt was the darker one. Might be worth checking .

great work mister when the cost of upgrading a bike is not an issue then we do great bike works .. what i like most is the after market oil cooler and its guard ! , those bikes and many more air-cooled suffer from heat ,, so i would like to know who makes those coolers and where can find them and check for my bike ... ....

Is that cyl head crack a common issue, l would be a bit concerned abt it but the builder seems to think it's ok and doesn't suggest any welding.
@RAWBikesTV11 күн бұрын
Hi, I'm not sure if it's common but the heads do crack and from over heating .. hence the oil cooler to help. I'm not sure it's going to be an issue only time will tell.
