Howzit guys An advrider, Jammin, is completing his ride through South America and Africa soon. He'll be shacking up at my spot in Westdene, JHB. His trusty old dr650se, Sandrina, has taken him all the way, with some minor issues and regular maintenance. I was thinking of a welcoming braai and...

Howzit dr guys I'm building a skidplate and rack for the dr this weekend. The plate will be made out of one point two mil mild steel. I want to copy lecap's attachment setup. Could one of you post some pics of the attachment setup at front?? I like the fact nothing can penetrate the case...

A lot of dr owners want to order stuff from abroad and have expressed interest in a group buy. Procycle in the US is the site I visit most often to perv. Jeff is well respected on advrider and has a very good reputation. I'll be ordering the tm40 pumper carb, the magnetic drain plug and the...

Howzit all My dr650se is chowing juice like nobody's business. It's an 07 grey import from the US with just 200 clicks on the clock now. On my first tank refill, I calculated the fuel economy at 7,1 litres per 100km  :o  My old dr ran at around 4,6l/100km. This bike's obviously jetted for...

Hi all I'm seriously farked off. My welding has let me down again. After measuring, cutting, sanding, grinding, etc ... I screwed up my rack for the new dr with my shocking birdcrap welding. I'm really the moer in. I suspect a lot of other dogs with dodgy welding skills feel the same way...

Hi all As you know I sold the dr about three months ago. Eish. I'm missing that bike bad  ::) .  Soooo ... I'm in the market for a low mileage second hand dr650se. Any okes wanna sell?? Cheers Jenks

Howzit Dogs I'm putting my dr on the market - heading overseas. It's been self serviced with love. Oil change every two thousand Ks. It's got a rack and skidplate, as well as top box. Mileage is 8800Ks. Licenced till early next year. Plenty tools and extras. I'm open to offers of between...

Howzit all I returned from Durbs to Jozi on Wednesday - knackered!! Here's a vid of the trip down - mostly in the Berg area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErruW-yiO1w&feature=channel_page I left at around 9am on Tuesday the 17th and made my way to the old Vereeniging road, feeling both...

Howzit guys - I'm leaving tomorrow for Durbs to visit my boet and his brand new f800gs. I am still thinking of riding the dr down. I'm contemplating doing about 500 the first day to the Drakensberg (where I could dos over) and then the remaining 250 to the KZN south coast. But I've never done...

Hi all I'm considering setting up the gps on my HTC tytnII and rigging it for the bike. I've heard there is an auxillary power outlet on the dr650se - but not sure about its location. ( I'll copy this post to the dr thread as well) Another question is regarding charging the tytnII while...

Howzit guys I'm planning on visiting my boet in Durbs later in Feb to check out his new f800gs. Any recommendations on lekker back roads/routes (Jozi-Durbs) for the dr650? I don't have a gps, so specific turnoffs/route numbers would be a bonus. I'd also appreciate advice on cool stop-overs for...

Howzit Lecap and all What are your thoughts about dynojet kits for big thumpers?  ??? I have a dr650 08 model. Plenty power - but more (torque esp.) can't hurt! Would it be worth the extra bucks? I'd need to import from the states. Cheers Jenks

Howzit okes Did a Sunday morning ride exploring outside Krugersdorp. But I kakked myself just as I was getting out into the country - I'm still a noob rider. I turned back :xxbah: just when it was getting interesting. I posted a fuller report on...

Howzit guys What do you think of the new tenere at the Amid show? Seems a little pricey. Check out my bloghttps://scuzzbucket.wordpress.com/ (part of a journalism honours course) for extra pics! cheers jenks

Top Bike has a nice piece by Le Cap on oil changes. Even better, my bonie is in the pic (dr650) :deal:  Just wondering (if Le Cap sees this) if he recommends synth or mineral for the dr and how frequently he changes oil on his dr650s. cheers! jenks

Hi all Looking for advice and ideas re further mods to my pony I've already: fitted an airage exhaust fitted hand guards removed the snorkel removed the upper roller welded a rack ground header weld To do: chain replacement sprocket change (14t) Cheers! ;D jenks

Could you guys add the dr650 to the list of bikes?? I've selected the drz400 because it's the closest - but it's a very different beast to my plaasbike! Gracias jenks

;D

Hi all Just thought I'd introduce myself. Bought a suzi dr650 late last year. My first bike and loving it. Any other dr650 riders in Jozi? I'd also be keen to join riding excursions/tours (all dual sports) if there are such! Cheers jenx
