haynes don't do one, but clymers do
ask merlins (www.merlinbooks.co.uk or 01403 257626) for the latest edition of the XR600 manual as it covers the xrl in more detail

[i got a manual from haynes which is for the xr600r and xr600l.Is it going to be the same as the clymers one?
Went to bracken on the weekend and they told me that there is a complete manual for the xr650l on the net which I can download but I can't find the site.
Maybe go to a honda dealarship and hope that they can help me.

Any more info would be appreciated.
Cheers

This is the link (or a link):
Official 1993-2005 Honda XR650L Factory Service Manual
http://www.repairmanual.com/motorcyc.../5/16388/11194

This is a better manual than the Clymer XR600 manual with the insert for the XR650L.

Great bike choice,
Matt

PS I can't find the online version either

It's a GIVI Airstar screen. I think it's the A604.

The headlight cutout doesn't fit exactly around the headlight, but it still works fine. I had it removed the other day for a ride down the coast and was amazed at how much colder it is riding the bike without it.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
