Speaking of weight, I think my XR weighs about 350 now with the Corbin seat, and 5.5 gal. Acerbis tank. Weight distribution changed for the better with the tank, because it carries the fuel lower, and farther forward making the whole bike feel less top-heavy even though it is actually heavier than before. I'd recommend those two mods to anybody riding a 650L. Made it much more pleasant to ride. The tank doesn't have to be the big Acerbis. It just needs to carry fuel weight lower. About any seat would be a damn sight better than that pommel horse it came with.
It's weird riding that XR now that I've spent so many afternoons on the Beta. First gear even feels fast on the XR.
