ROX Risers on the Honda XR650R
The stock Honda XR650R handlebars are mounted fairly low and are also toed in slightly. Most riders of average or tall heights will be more comfortable with the handlebars raised. There are all sorts of ways to accomplish this, through blocks, new triple trees or bar mounts, taller bars, and also, by using the pivoting handlebar risers manufactured by ROX. They are a billet aluminum piece that allow the bars to be boosted up as well as rotated forward slightly.
For most tall riders this will be just enough of a change to make all the difference, especially when standing.
Here is a set mounted on the BRP (along with some standard aluminum riser blocks).

about 1 year ago - No comments
Akrapovic exhausts are extremely well made and highly regarded exhaust systems. Their performance and sound on the Honda XR650R are both excellent. They are quality made and well supported. The price however is about double any other exhaust system on the market. They are extremely expensive.

There are dozens of exhausts available for the Honda XR650R. The Flow brand (re-branded) exhaust is one of the cheapest around.

Oil site tubes are a popular modification that allow you to see at a quick glance what the oil level is. It involves drilling a couple holes in the oil tank and connecting them with a small tube.

SRC High Pressure Radiator Cap for the XR650R
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
Many owners will swap the 1.1 Bar rated radiator cap that comes stock on the XR650R for an aftermarket unit. The goal is the prevent the radiators from boiling over as easily. It’s a somewhat debated topic in that using a higher pressure cap will increase the strain throughout the entire system. Most have positive More >

One of the lesser known CDI units for the XR650R is the Procom part number PE-C-MH650-A. They claim the following:
Improved Timing curves

Overrides for full performance at all times (who knows what that means)
Increased Spark Energy
Improved Throttle Response
Easier Starting
Plug-in Module Replacement (just means it’s plug-n-play)
Another option – and potentially cheaper is swapping an XR400R CDI More >

Upgrading the stock front rotor to an oversize unit is a great upgrade for the XR650R. It provides improved stopping power and improved feel at the lever. This upgrade is great in particular for bikes running street duty, or bikes that are carrying extra gear or *ahem* a heavy rider.
There are three options.
1.) EBC Oversize More >
