i think im around 50 to 55 but not sure.....1998xr650l, many upgrades

[irondude]

it ranges from a dismal plugged up 39 to a full factory race low 60+...

most guys on here are in the low to mid forties with a few up around 50-55.

My '95 650L is totally stock, but desmogged. It has over 50,000 miles and is probably putting out a whopping 20hp.. It still has about 500,000 ft/lbs of torque though I go from 0-60 mph in 28 seconds, but can pull a loaded freight train......

Naw... My '95 feels every bit as powerful as a stock desmogged 2005 XR650L. Just a lot more noises coming from the engine!!

more noise means its runnin better

more noise means someday you'll have nowhere to ride your motorcycle

Some people pay alot of money for a Ducatti just to get that engine noise.

The exhaust noise is low. I have the stock muffler. I like the quiet exhaust.

To get the extra "noises" from my engine, I simply let it burn away all of it's oil a few times. Not on puropse, I was racing. It was HOT!! The noise could be from the cam chain tensioner sprage gear being out again, or something more serious . It has been making the same noises since about 29,000 miles. I figure that when it finally goes out, I'll just order a new engine.

I don't need no Desmodromic valves to make funny engine noises
