As far as weight goes is it the engine? This might sound like a far fetched thing but could the 650 be shoe horned into a newer chassis?? Also is there a big bore kit for the 650? I realize that dollars count but, just wondering if the 450 chassis would be a good upgrade......................
xr650 as a snowbike

Per Allen Oct 2013 Does't support the BRP
I am broken heart-ed!
I had to beg TS to fit the XR650R for S/N 00017.
We stile have loads of fun on our BRP.
TS had trouble fitting the XR650R. Allen blamed it on model changes but to my knowledge no frame geometry had every been changed.
Let me know I will help with a fit kit if your serious about putting a BRP on the snow. I could help Fab the parts that TS does't have.
I vote no on stuffing a BRP motor in a 450 frame. But I would put a USD fork off a CRF450 on a BRP which would solve all front fit kit issue's.
We are putting on a flat slide carb on our BRP to hopefully get it to run more consistent.
If the truth be told My 2006 KTM 525xc spanks the BRP in the mountains.

There used to be 3 levels of performance for BRP.

Uncorked
Power Up
Something like that. Uncorked is different exhaust baffle, air box mod and new jetting.
The power up, if that is what it was called, got into the cam and maybe piston. I can't remember.
These were both Honda Corp performance parts.
