2001 xr650l

[Guest]

I can get one of these for 550 dollars
typical of the bie it has an engine failure due to an oiling issue
needs piston crank and pins etc.
The thing is that is all ball bearing for the crank etc so how bad can it be
The guy does not have the engine open so its a surprise package.
Only really iffy issue is repairing a solitary plain bearing journal in the head thes can be welded and reground at a shop
Parts would run about 500 more dollars
ADVRIDER has a write up on the full engine rebuild and it looks a whole hell of a lot easier than an inline four
It is more of a big clock than an engine

Checking for all issues with the rest of the bike to test failures and other shortcoming in other areas

A friend had a XL350R (only made a couple years) that did the same thing. It broke the balance shaft and the case. Toast.

Don't know if the 650 is the same bottom end or not.
