For those who know me, know how much I love my Suzuki DR 650 SE!
It is an awesome bike, reliable, has lots of low-down torque, but the suspension is horrible!
It is undersprung, and has very little damping.
At the front, an easy solution is fitting the complete front end from a DRZ 400.
I surfed the net for months, 'till I found one in very good condition, not to far from me.
It was stolen from the seller, but found due to another bike stolen the same night having a tracking device.
The thieves already started stripping it, to pack and "export", to most probably Mozambique.
Due to its good condition, I actually considered to put the bike back together again, but then would have to search for suspension for the DR again.
The following items were not recovered with the bike: Rear axle, spacers, adjusters and caliper. Both side covers. CDI.
The speedo is there, but damaged. No ignition.
It is a 2008 DRZ 400 E, with 10 500 kms on the clock.
The condition is a testimony that it was not abused.
I have the de-registration certificate. Have checked it at the SAPS and on e-Natis.
If I was going to put it together, it would need a Police clearance and RWC.
I am keeping the complete front end for myself, as well as the rear wheel, to do a 18" conversion to the 17" rear.
By hinting on WD and FB about the possible parting out, I have attracted 8 buyers that are interested in various parts.
To give everyone a fair chance all parts will be advertised on WD first.
For the seat I have 3 potential buyers!
I am willing to assist to pack and courier parts.
Herewith a few pics when I cleaned the bike:
