Changing XR650R Stock Fork Oil
Mar 29th
There probably aren’t too many XR650R’s running around with their stock fork oil anymore. But, if your bike still is, you should change it. The XR650R oil was known to be low quality from the factory and in some cases as been shown to cause corrosion and rust on internal components.
If you still have the stock fork fluid – drain it – flush it – replace it!
