Is the NX 5th gear different than the XR650L 5th gear?

I do believe the NX and XRL from here have the same 5th gear ,




I got my hands on some of the 5ths from Japan a litte while back ,


Santa left them under the tree

Re: 88 Honda NX650

You need this bike Marko. With your attention to detail you would have a museum piece in short order and it would be easier than you think. The blemishes are truly minor and cosmetic only. And at 7K, its honestly barely broken in. Thrashed dirt bikes sell for double what I am asking for this bike. I totally, truly believe this bike will appreciate in value in the coming years if maintained properly. Several in the ADV rider world have encouraged me to just sit on it for a few years. But I am 67 and know I will not be riding much more. Some younger feller should be on this thing.

Re: 88 Honda NX650

Skid Plates can be a bit universal and usually use a pipe mount bracket to hold on to the down tubes in the cradle. If they dont have one specific to this bike I bet one for a 650L or another similar bike would work fine even if it took some minor modification to get it exact. Crash bars are a different deal, I would check with any NX650 forums out there on the net.

Good luck with the sale. I would love to own it, but would have to get rid of my Bandit 400 first.

I am a "younger feller".....well, younger..ish...sorta. Okay, my wife says I act like a 12 year old. Does that count?

My bike would be a wonderful choice for an eager 12 yr old such as yourself. Price is negotiable a little, I have found a used little fishing boat that is waiting for me.

Re: 88 Honda NX650

Someone please make a reasonable offer. I just do not want to start riding this bike and risk damaging it. I drop stuff too often. And my 67 yr old back has already had enough surgery. Help!
