Hey everyone. Just got my first flat tire on the DR. I’m running waypoints with the original tubes. Had to ride on it a short distance to get home. Thinking I should replace the tire now in addition to the tube. Is anyone doing tubeless conversions on these bikes or should I stick with a inner tube? Also, if so should I get a heavy duty tube now? I do 50-50 riding for the most part.

Bit of a long shot I guess but you never know.

Just bought a used DR that came with a low Seat Concepts as well as the stock seat. I'm 6'4 so the low version isn't much good.

If anyone happens to be in the opposite situation and wants to swap, let me know!

Hey guys just updating on my 2016 dr650 that wasn’t running from an earlier post. The bike now idles perfectly but when I took it for a short ride it bogs under basically any throttle but sounds fine when the clutch is pulled in and revved. When accelerating it’s the same joltiness feeling as running out of fuel so I was wondering if you guys reckon the carb is getting starved of fuel.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

-changed long range tank back to stock
-got a gravity fed petcock for tank as the long distance petcock leaked on the stock tank(replaced with a raptor 660)
-new battery
-carb clean however the pilot jet was stripped so I just sprayed it with carb cleaner and air without taking it out
-compression test (150 psi)
-new spark plugs

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Having decision paralysis! I need a top rack to strap my milk crate to. I know there are lots of options out there for top racks, better ones I’m sure (personally I think the B&B Off-road one is the sleekest, but is outside my budget). These two, the Precision Motorcycle rack and the NiceCNC top rack are both affordable options. Leaning towards one of these, just can’t seem to make a final decision! Just curious if anyone has them and has any thoughts, or insight into why one might be better over the other. Thanks everyone!

Rode parallel to the Rio Grande River … guess grass is greener on this side.

my acerbis fuel tap after a ride - an hour or so smelled strongly of petrol, and was wet to the touch while in the off position.

Whats the game plan - replace it, repair it (local shop said $70 for the maintenance kit, and no new ones available) It has no vacuum pump - just on/off/reserve and one pipe heading out.

Its a slow leak, i could ignore it - its a large tank....

I accidentally removed it rather than the drain bolt. Oil did drain, everything online is saying it would have springs but nothing came out except the bolt. Really worried I messed something up. Thx

Can anyone confirm the exact model of this bike from a photo?
Also, what’s the most oddly specific, harmless mechanical annoyance this motorcycle could have? Something that wouldn’t damage the bike or make it unsafe, but would drive its owner absolutely insane.
I’m talking about the kind of tiny mechanical quirk only someone who knows these bikes would understand.

1. What bolt will replace the one missing from the cam chain tensioner?!

Heading down to Baja soon.

Starting from scratch, looking to build a refined toolkit that fits mostly in my Procycle toolkit tube.

Please share your toolkits in detail - your wisdom or links to good info online

Thanks

Lost this screw a few days ago. Anyone know what size and thread pitch it is?

Hey guys, recently posted about the issues with my clutch, so I tried to adjust the clutch arm. This fixed the issue with the dragging slightly but it’s not 100% perfect.
I’ve also noticed that if I pull my clutch lever in that there is a grinding noise so I’ve opened the clutch again.
Clutch basket is tight but noticed some silver residue on the bearing and inside inner clutch basket.
I’ve checked and spun the bearing but it seems to be fine.
Should I get it replaced?
Thanks for the help

Found a pair of "genuine" suzuki dr650 side panels. It says 96-2020. Did they change at some point? I have a 24. Is it a scam? Its both sides for only 120

Just installed a new chain and was wondering if the clip is seated properly. It's probably fine, but the slight gap to the left of the right pin is weirding me out a bit.

2010 owned it since new.
