From the factory
I
have been riding motorcycles since 1990. I have owned 3 dual-sport bikes
in my life
-
1984 Honda XL250 purchased in 1990
-
1985 Suzuki SP600 purchased in 1991
-
2000 Honda XR650L purchased at the end of 1999 in San Francisco, present bike.
I have spent the past 4 years reading and searching the Internet for information about what accessories work best for dual-sporting and my XR650L. I put together some links to help you find out more on how to set up your XR650L or other dual-sport motorcycle.

"This tire lasted me from the end of Oklahoma to Oregon, then a 500 mile drive to San Francisco, then a 2,500 mile drive to Oshkosh, WI. I would say that is a good 5,000 mile tire, the best tire in the world, and I have tried them all". Kevin Basso
