what horsepower should an '88 xr 600 have?

[Sectrew]

i just bought a n xr 600 that was plated in California. it was fun until the crankshaft stripped at the sprocket on the first day and now i get to weld and grind on it. it is stock other than a supertrap pipe. it has plenty of power so i am just curious. What is the stock gearing for this bike. i have a 50 tooth in the rear and about 70mph it is pretty done.

HP all depends on what mods the engine has and what kind of shape its in, i would get your bike mechanically sound and just enjoy it, if its not enough HP then time to mod it up GL n welcome to TT

more tham most humans will ever need

[Sectrew]

True that.

prolly high 30s between 35-39 maybe?

The manual for my '83 says it's got 43 bhp...I don't know how that translates into actual horsepower...

But even stock and with me weighing 260 lbs. it's a torque monster, haven't even felt the need to add to the hp figure...

How much power ? = enough to get into trouble with.

Something doesn't look right...

Then again I have a 1988 factory Honda service manual on .pdf and it lists the "dry weight" as 26.5lbs and the "curb weight" as 287.5lbs. It must have a huge gas tank.

Just looking at my Honda service manual 88-91

dry weight 88-90= 262lbs

91-on= 269lbs

Everything else , but no hp rating!! Got those other stats online for the 91
