1983 HONDA XL 600R. NICE SHAPE, RUNS GOOD. NICE TRAIL BIKE..

HERE IS A NICE 1983 HONDA XL600R.. I PURCHASED THIS BIKE 3 YEARS AGO, ORE IT DOWN TO THE FRAME AND COMPLETELY WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE BIKE TO MAKE IT MECHANICALLY SOUND.. THE BIKE HAS NO TITLE SO I REDONE THE BIKE FOR A GOOD ALL AROUND TRAIL BIKE.. THE ENGINE WAS TORE DOWN TO REPLACE A SHIFTER SHAFT AND ALL NEW SEALS AND CRANK BEARINGSWERE INSTALLED. ALSO CYLINDER WAS HONED AND NEW PISTON RINGS WERE INSTALLED ALONG WITH A NEW CAM CHAIN.. VALVE GUIDE SEALS WERE REPLACED AS WELL.. THE SUSPENSION WAS GONE THROUGH AND FORKS WERE REBUILT WITH NEW SEALS AND OIL.. REAR SHOCK WAS REPLACED WITH A GOOD USED XL SHOCK. NEW CHAIN AND SPROCKETS. NEW TIRES AND TUBES.. CARBS WERE REPLACED AS THE ORIGIONALS WERE SHOT FROM BEING DAMAGED AND CORRODED.. ALL CABLES WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH GRIPS AND LEVERS. LIKE I SAID THIS WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE A STREET BIKE BUT COULD EASILY BE TURNED INTO ONE IF YOU CAN PROCURE A TITLE FOR IT.. THE BIKE HAS ALL THE SWITCHES AND HORN BUTTON AND DASH WITH KEY IGNITION INSTALLED LIKE AT THE FACTORY.. EVEN HAS THE FACTORY STREET LEGAL HEADLIGHT BUT HAS A XR600 REAR FENDER WITH LIGHT.. WITH ALL THIS BEING SAID THIS CAN BE LEFT A GOOD ALL AROUND TRAIL BIKE OR COVERTED TO STREET FOR PEOPLE WITH THE NO HOW TO DO SO.. ONE THING TO MENTION: AFTER 40 TO 50 MILES OF RUN TIMETHIS ENGINE DEVELOPED A SLIGHT OIL BURN ON STARTUP.. STARTS EASILY BUT WITH A LITTLE BLUE SMOKE FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 30 SECONDS AND THEN THE EXHAUST IS CLEAR.. AND WILL REMAIN CLEAR NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU START IT DURING THE DAY.. I BELIVE THIS IS DUE TO A BAD SET OF VALVE GUIDE SEALS I PURCHASED ONLINE.. I REMOVED THE CARBS AND SEEN ONE OF THE INTAKE VALVES IS WET WITH OIL AS WELL AS ONE EXHAUST VALVE.. I BELIVE THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE OIL BURN ON STARTUP IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN SITTING LIKE OVERNIGHT.. THE REASON I SAY THIS AS THIS PACK OF VALVE GUIDE SEALS I PURCHASED WAS ALSO USED TO REBUILD A HEAD ON MY XR600R AND THAT BIKE DEVELOPED A 30 SECOND OIL BURN ON STARTUP AS WELL.. SO THESE VALVE GUIDE SEALS I BOUGHT ARE JUNK!!! I HAVE SINCE TOSSED THEM.. I REDID THE HEAD ON THE XR600R WITH HONDA OEM SEALS AND THE OIL BURN WENT AWAY.. OTHER THAN VAVE GUIDE SEALS THE BIKE STARTS AND RUNS GREAT, HIFTS THROUGH ALL THE GEARS IS A AWESOME TRAIL BIKE.. DEPOSIT OF 300.00 IS DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS AFTER AUCTION CLOSE.. REMAINDER DUE ON PICK UP.. SHIPPING IS ON THE BUYER BUT I WILL ASSIST SHIPPER PREPARING BIKE FOR SHIPMENT.. THANKS FOR LOOKIN..
