Honda XLR125RP import tart up project
Permalink  
 

Bit of a bad boy this one, Its a 4 Stroke XLR125R, Import version.

Rates at 15HP, 3.5.5KM per liter of fuel. thats 22 miles. X that by 4.54 and you get a book figure of 100MPG , more like 85 IMO.

Slow as a knats ass, tops out at 65mph, Shares the same engine as the aircooled CRF150/230, so iam on the look out for a 230..:)

Miles is 10K in euros 16K (km) so nothin for one of these really.

Bought as a project really.

 

Massive frame tho, sits very tall indeed, unlike the XR125 and the XL125`s..

Feels more like a big 250 crosser. But with a silly 125 4T.. would of been great with a 2T.

And here is the beast.

 

and a pic of it..in good cond..

 

 

 

SO the stripping has comenced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the engine is out

 

and the first thing i have cleanded, painted.

 

 

 

The good points, i have found, you can get better cams, fit a bigger carb, get a race CDI, to beef up the engine. happy days!

thought i have change nath, this one was so cheap, i could`nt say no too.

ive had it running, the engine is spot on, runs real well. pulls well, and 4T thump sound. just needs a bloody good tart up. Its very solid. and being fuel prices as they are, appeal to the commuter too, with Honda`s reliable engines, economy to boot.

the 125 is 15hp, the 200 is 18hp and the 230cc is 24hp.

Tuning the 230 with cams porting and cdi, around 28hp.

Thats still pants!.lol

You can get that from a DTR! 33HP from a 4DL tzr.

Most 4T`s are elecy start, or get a newer DTR and it will have it on tooo..

Yeah as the header's are pretty much straight you'd have some issues trying that with a expanny! some of these 4 strokes do come loud as stock, under load my stock zaust was reasonably loud but now with the straight through it's a whole new kind of loud! muhahahaha

]

you can also hear it popping on the upshift's aswell which i love! then you have the downshift's which are amazing!

ta nath, as with most of these 4T`s, the silencer has baffle plates welded internal, a vertical blanking plate 3/4 the way in, just slows the gas down, this is the way to just to bring up the dB a little, a long thick bar in through the end of the silencer, 4Lb hammer, few hard whacks!.. sorts that out. and plus it makes it free flowing. Sill at legal levels tho.. But in canada, and some parts of the US, they were indeed, toned right down on noise. Even the chineese 4T`s standard can be done like this too.

Aftermarket pipes, can be added of course, but i like, the original pipes, not only that, if i get stopped, then i can tel mr plod, look, its original!.

Got no sound clips yet, but will, when its running again..

but here is the sound of an XLR

4T`s thumpers, fart box`s. love em.

Thanks for all the comments chap, appreciated


Today, was quite busy doing non related bike stuff, but did get an hour or so clocked in..

New bars, and my clock face made on the comp, printer, and a laminater, converted to MPH in stead of KMH.. alltho, the trip and distance still in KMH, bugger all i can about that, unless i get a converter.. a small touch in red under the needle, honda xlr.. overall goes well with the white frame i rekon..

its getting there chaps, ta for the comments

Had an issue with the front caliper, after bleeding the brakes, it was holding the wheel, These bikes use twin pistons. one of the pistons was seized.. too me ages to get the bugger out. All cleaned and free`ed. I have now a good front brake.

The frame is huge, well built indeed, nice diameter tubing, feels, very tough, i can see honda making it like a tank..lol

im on the case of the little bits n peices now. Cleaning, painting, **** loads of nuts n bolts..

honda - the power of dreams



well, not quite my dreams, hehehehe

walla, Fineetto

Taken me almost exactly 3 weeks. Spending a good 3 hours a days, most days. except weekends, not home,, i am out to play so to speak.

My opinion, thes bikes are very well made. The frame is built like a tank. Deff a lot stronger than a DTR, the tubing is bigger, and braced in a few places more. I can see why these things go round the world.


Engine is bullet proof, they rekon. Built on Honda`s legend of engine design 4T OHC, I like it, but sadly, i like a lighter frame, more "engineered" strength. Than brute force. Frame would suit more of a 250cc +, and instead of hopping over the mud, these would just plough through.


I shall ride it to the MOT station, take for a spin out on the country roads, see what the feel is like. Got a feeling, its going to be a very tame ride on the open roads.

Thanks for watching the thread, and with the great comments. I wonder whats my next project.. 2T powered perhaps...lol
