Speedometer
I have always liked the ICO odometer/speedometer and magnetic pickup in lieu
of the Honda mechanical speedometer and cable.
Remove the speedometer cable from the speedometer assembly and remove the
speedometer assembly.
Remove the bulb sockets from the base of the speedometer assembly. Remove
all bulbs. Slide the sockets into a rubber tube and zip-tie the tube to the
headlight mounting bracket.
Remount the headlight bracket using two bolts (6x25 mm), nuts, and collars.
The collars can be taken from the rear turn signal assemblies, if the turn
signals are not used.
Mount an ICO or similar unit on or near the crossbar.
Carefully cut and remove part of the plastic protective layer from a metal
braided brake line (‘86 XR250R) . Cut and remove from just above the lower
brake line mounting clamp to about 1" above the upper brake line guide. Make
sure the forks are fully extended by putting the bike on a stand. Cover the
brake line and the ICO pickup wires in their protective sheath with a brake line
protector that has been trimmed to fit. Tape or zip
-tie each end of the brake
line protector. Tape the remaining exposed ICO pickup wires to the brake line,
all the way to the brake reservoir. See the ICO installation instructions for
more information.
Make a mount for the ICO pickup unit and clamp it to the lower fork leg.
Mount the ICO magnet on the plastic wheel hub cover.
Remove the Honda mechanical sending unit from the front axle and replace it
with an XR’s Only speedo drive replacement unit.

Suspension
Gregg and I have experimented with the front forks. We left the stock oil in and
tried for an easy solution to the softness and brake diving. We removed the
upper 3 3/8" spring from each fork and replaced it with:
• 3" pvc tube, which gives a firm ride with very little diving (me)
• 1.5" ATK spring and 1.5" pvc tube, which gives a medium ride and some
diving (Gregg)
In the rear, we stuck with the stock spring with 85-95 mm of sag, 6-9 clicks
clockwise from full soft for the compression damping, and the number 1 setting
for the rebound damping. We each weigh about 180 pounds nekid. Neither of
us rides our XR-Ls too aggressively; we have other bikes for that.
For more aggressive riders, XR’s Only sells Progressive Suspension fork and
shock springs in higher spring rates than stock.
