Hello again!

thanks for the welcome!

I know.. I must buy a 4POT caliper... I've already bought a brembo 19x20 master cylinder (maybe its too much, but i couldnt find a 16x18), now I'm looking for the caliper..

Maybe someone has one for sale?! 

I also need to change that front headlights and the air filter side panel...

In portugal we dont have any forum like this... 

ciao a tutti, buona sera

Hello Vitor!!
BEWARE!! This website is full of XR tuning addicts!! but as I can see you're fully already on that way too hehehe

very nice bike and a wonderful place!

but.... your licence plate is readable only by helicopters!!! 

I forgot:
one mod you can do is eliminate the original speedmeter and put a smaller mountainbike computer, doing so you can fix the front light closer to the forks

Ciao Alwaywot e benvenuto tra i pazzi di XR-Italia.

E’ un vero piacere venire a conoscenza di una persona di diversa estrazione culturale proveniente da una terra, quella lusitana, così ricca di fascino e storia.

Sono sicuro che ti troverai a meraviglia in questa particolare comunità, unita da un minimo comun denominatore quali sono le nostre amate XR, proposte in tutte le forme e colori.

Se avrai la compiacenza di soffermarti sufficientemente a lungo nella sezione “Le vostre XR”, ti potrai rendere conto da te del livello di assoluta demenza al quale siamo arrivati noi utenti malati, non ti posso garantire di uscirne sano di mente, anzi, con molta probabilità cominceranno a venirti pericolose smanie di elaborazione/trasformazione/personalizzazione del tuo porco, pardon, del tuo GrandePorcelloRosso.

Non ti preoccupare, non sarà grave, chi si iscrive qua ci casca inesorabilmente a piè pari, d'altronde le immagini della tua XR fanno intendere che qualcosa di insano si è già sviluppato in te.

Buon viaggio e buon divertimento.......................................


Sorry AlwaysWot, I’m joking.

Pleased to meet you and welcome aboard, I wish you a pleasant stay here in XR-Italia.


P.S. Mmmmhhh, I have seen you already in another place.....................TT?


Ciao

Hello Alwaywot
(I guess the "wot" on your nick represents your real attitude. Right?)

first of all I'm sorry for having your first message relocated on this proper section.
In fact here is the right place where all new "entries" start introducing briefly theirselves.
So if you have time please let's know something more about you, your bike skill and experiences, etc.

Your 650 looks really nice. Congratulations !

I hope you'll like to keep in touch with this group of enthusiasts interacting with us  on the  tech and non-tech various topics that daily arise around our common Honda XR passion. 

Regards and welcome again

  hi new friend, welcom! i hope you have lot's of funny days with us and with your brp!!!

[RC30]

...I've already bought a brembo 19x20 master cylinder (maybe its too much....

Yes, is too much, in the past I’ve mounted one of those master cylinders, it was too hard to pull the brake lever.

Now I have a "conventional" radial Brembo 16x18, that is better for a single front rotor.

....I also need to change that front headlights....

You MUST change the front headlight.........



You can try with an original XR headlight, for example that the XR 400 mounts......

It should be alwaysWot, but by mistake I forgot the S   

Always wide open throttle, i think my accelerator only has two positions: on and off 

I'm sorry I have posted on the wrong section... thanks for the help!!


A little bit about myself, I'm 24yo and I'm an telecommunications engineer, but I'm working in a consulting firm.

I had few bikes: motalli gira http://www.motorizadas50.com/motali_gira.jpg (this isnt my bike, mine is white), I had this bike when I was 12-13yo, I did a lot of bad thing to her, I even did enduro trails with a friend who had a pw80 back in the day!!

Some years later, If bought a KTM 50SX, great bike, very good suspension for its class, but a week motor..

After that I didnt ride any bike for a few years, then I've bought my first "real" bike, it was a suzuki DR650SE, i've also modded it, exhaust, headers, carburetor, suspensions...   had it for 3 years and sold it to buy the XR!!

And this is my story, at least what I can remember!


Has I sad before, I've study in italia for 6 months, in 2003!
And I really love your country!
I was in padova, anyone from padova??
