XLR with common modifications

The XLR 125 R (type JD 16 ) was an enduro motorcycle from the Japanese manufacturer Honda .

Technical details

The air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine with a 56.5 mm bore and 49.5 mm stroke and a compression ratio of 9.2: 1 was always the same for the two versions offered in Germany. The open variant, ( JD16A ), with a specified maximum speed of 94 km / h, and an electronically throttled variant, ( JD16B ), with a maximum of 80 km / h were offered. As a four-stroke engine with 11 HP from a displacement of 125 cm³ , the XLR had a rather low output compared to other enduro machines. On the other hand, it was considered economical in terms of fuel consumption: 2.7 l / 100km were quite possible. Both versions had wire-spoke wheels with aluminum rims (front tires: 2.75-21 45P, rear tires 4.10-18 59P). The front wheel is guided by a telescopic fork with a 37 mm standpipe diameter and 225 mm suspension travel and at the rear a steel swing arm with Pro-Link system and 230 mm suspension travel. The engine control provided a capacitor discharge ignition (CDI). The tank held 9 liters including a 4.3 liter reserve. The ground clearance was 295 mm.

Special

Some drivers were bothered by the original look, especially that of the rear, which was therefore often modified. With a little patience and technical skill, the motorcycle can be brought up to the optical level of an enduro motorcycle of the 2005 and 2006 series. The original lighting was also found to be insufficient by some and was often converted from the original Bilux (35/35 watt) headlight bulb to an H4 halogen lamp (60/55 watt).
