Canadian Rockies – day 2
Lopez island WA to port renfrew Vancouver island
- Leave Andrews island and take 23 ferries to get to Vancouver island
- Quinn’s first time ever out of America which blew my mind
- People may or may not have smuggled things over the border
- Didn’t know Victoria was a city that existed. Had lunch and people watched
- Rode through a rain forest on way to port renfrew
- Such drastic air temperature differences it’s insane. 80deg sweating one hour and 40deg shivering the next
- Slept on a beach tonight
- Adams XR still running hotter than mine going to try to solve that soon

Another great video from our own Andrew Watson. This is pretty dope. Sick Laverda.
dudes. rad trip! My XR was running way hot,over 300. Switched to Rotella T6 15W40 (i was on 5w40). Now I’m running between 250-280. Off road, going slow, 1st-2nd gear, still between 280-290 but at highway or with air moving, I’m pretty steady between 260-280. I think you stay at 300 or below you’ll be good. I’ve noticed at just about 500 miles my oil starts to breakdown and temps creep up but once I change it, I’m back to good running temp. Good luck
My XR650L temps are:
– highway blasting 240-250
– sitting in a traffic jam 230
– normal riding 220
So… I’d suggest you guys are running too hot. 270-290 is insane hot.
Nah, not to get into a pissing match with a man who’s living the dream but a lot internets people claim to be running between 220 and 280 on the XRs. 190-230 with a cooler. Everyone of them runs different though. Some guys have been running at those temps since early on and now are between 25000-30000 miles.I would love to get my temps to your range but after a bunch of reading I’m not too concerned until I get to 300. Love that you guys are doing this on the XRs.
