Hey all, Hoping for some info. Not even 6000km on the clock and had no issues so far. .. .....but..... Bike wouldnt start this morning. Nothing happens when turning the key, no light, electronics etc. First thought is that the battery somehow drained itself since yesterday evening. But no...

Evening all, Woke up this morning to a squeaky bike.  :( The front wheel, specifically (Suzuki DR650, 2006 model with around 33 000 kms). On rolling forward, it's quiet for about 1/2 - 1 full rotation, and then the squeaking begins. Quite loud indeed. Squeaking continues until I hit a certain...

My brother wants to do his bike drivers. Does anyone know if anyone offers lessons in the area? Somewhere around Pinetown or Durban? Thanks :)

With a bit of effort I can push start my DR650 down a hill in 1st gear. (I've had to on occasion) I've heard this could mean bad compression? No idea, looking for an informed opinion. Most people say it's not possible.

Had an off on the poor bike. Insurance will cover it, but I can choose where to take it to get fixed up. It will need replacing of some OEM Suzuki plastics and the indicators, but there are also some aftermarket (hand guards and bosson exhaust) that I want replaced. Any suggestions on where to...

I've lost my spare key so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could go in the area to get it cloned? Thanks :)

I guess this question is aimed at the more advanced dirt riders - but any suggestions are will do, as always When traveling long windy gravel roads, how does one keep their speed around the corners and control the bikes sliding without toppling over?? I have not even tried yet, and would like...

What do you recommend for my DR :) :biggrin: What have you guys fitted?

So I found my skii goggles in the cuboard. Went on a trip about 5 years ago and they have been lying there ever since. First thing I noticed is that it was impossible to use traditionally with the goggle strap going around the outside of helmet. It was also impossible to try and wrap the band...

Alright so I NEEEED a pair of boots. I will be doing lots of offroading and technical trails, and I really fancy my ability to walk. Anything that you can reccommend, second-hand or new? What does it cost? Where can I get it? I will have to work for the necessary money, so please keep the...

On way home from TracMac now (who were unable to help me, for the like the millionth time now), I was on TygerValley road when I noticed this crazy guy in a silver BMW in front of me. The traffic was pretty dense yet he was driving recklessly, overtaking at ridiculous speeds and swerving around...

What would be recommended? Best value for money... I will be riding lots of dirt. Thaaaank you. :ricky:

Okay so I'm new on a big bike, and I have just finished cleaning up after I shat myself pulling a massive accidental wheelie at the robots today. Managed to set it down as if I had done it on purpose, and scooted away from my schoolmates on their 125s. I must look like the biggest douchebag. I...

Can anyone tell tell me where is a good place to take my DR650 for valve adjustments? They are ticking super loud. How much does this normally cost?

Can anyone tell me if these are the stock dog bones or if they are lowering links? My DR feels low and I would like to put her back up.

Hey Wild Dogs, I've only been a member for about a month and only made a few posts but never introduced myself ;D I started riding two years ago on the XR125L (my first love) but I just recently acquired myself a nice rugged Suzuki DR650! -Now complete with some Wild Dog stickers... thanks to...

This is my first foam air filter... and so far I think something is wrong. As far as I know, the air filter should be sealed nice and snugly around the intake, but the foam is not tightly fitted to the foam's skeleton (I have no idea what to call that). This means that air can be sucked in...
