    DR 650 SE struggling to start and not idling smoothly.

    :thumleft: All she needed was valve adjustment and a little bit of TLC (Proper carb and vacuum lines cleaning.) Never pulled like this before, and even lighter on fuel then before! Thank you DUX. Much appreciated!

    Front and Rear brake disc's replacement.

    Good day Gents, When is a disc due for replacement? (how thin can you go?) Currently on 72 000km. Secondly , are there any other options other than then the original parts. At R4200 for the front and R2100 for the rear at the Suzuki dealers its quite pricey. Any advice welcome. C.

    DR 650 SE struggling to start and not idling smoothly.

    Also need to mention the following: I have seen an increase in fuel consumption in the last 5000km. Close to 4km/L heavier on fuel. I can feel a split second surge ( like a gust of wind) when traveling at 100km/h and slowly closing the throttle. Thanks. C.

    DR 650 SE struggling to start and not idling smoothly.

    Good day Chaps. Still struggling with my DR. Its a unmodified or molested 650, had it since 3000km and currently just under 70 000km. She is used daily to commute close to 100km. About a month ago, she struggles to start in the morning. When she does start the idle is rough until semi...

    Airbox mod on a "unmodfied" DR 650?

    Thanks for the feedback Jürgen & Ian. I merely ask as every video and forum I've accessed , makes this out to be the first & most important mod. .. And I quote : " Suzuki DR650 are known for a smouldering / restricting air box" Hence , me asking the question as I'm not convinced its crucial. I...

    Airbox mod on a "unmodfied" DR 650?

    Hi guys, Just a quick question: Would it be wise to do the air box mod (Even just removing the snorkel) on a DR that still has a standard Carb and Exhaust? Regards!

    DR 650 Mirrors - wanted.

    Hi Guys, Cracked my right side mirror in traffic this week. Replaced it with Fong Kong crap as an interim, but the focus is so wobbly it actually makes me seasick. Anybody have a set (or only the right hand side) laying around or know about a good replacement or even some one whom can repair...

    Okay thanks, I'll have a look over the weekend. Maybe washing my bike and spraying Castrol Chain wax twice a month is not enough........

    The DR650 thread

    Thanks Lecap, You replaced my OEM chain with a DID 525 VX chain, when I had it serviced 13 000km back. Had the bike at Mavericks Suzuki and I was told that the chain and sprockets had less than 2000km life in them. I also had 20 000km in my head, and that's why I asked. What are the tell tale...

    The DR650 thread

    Sorry, makes sense..... I only commute 100km per day on the N2, once in a blue moon I do a little bit of dirt. Stock standard DR, no mods. Currently on 28 000km's previously the chain and sprockets were replaced at 15 000km. So I guess I'll have to prepare myself for a R2000 replacement every...
