Dry-sump design keeps the engine compact and eliminates the oil pan for superior ground clearance and damage resistance. With the engine oil in the frame, the frame itself acts like a giant oil cooler. The electric starter takes all out of restarting off road, or on a cold morning. Five-speed transmission with #520 O-ring-sealed chain (15T/45T) final drive.
Chassis and Suspension – The 2012 Honda XR650L’s steel frame is built to handle the rigors of off-road travel. The frame’s backbone doubles as the engine’s oil tank, saving weight and space. Fully equipped for the street such as horn, turn blinkers, license-plate light, mirrors, speedometer and more. Honda’s Pro-Link rear suspension system offers compliant and comfortable ride quality with a high level of wheel control. Initial rates are soft for supple action over small bumps and ripples, while increasingly stiffer rates resist bottoming and maintain rear-wheel control over rougher surfaces. Disc brakes front and rear provide superior stopping power on 2012 Honda XR650L.
