Other than mud, they perform really well. The front tire wear is excellent and the rear is at about 50%. In will be replacing the rear tire due to an extended long mileage trip I have coming up.

Thanks for putting up the video. I've got a DR and took it out on a 4-5 hour trip in roughly 30 Degree Celsius recently with a bunch of guys on BMW sport touring bikes and cruisers. Most of the trip was easy going back road but we did a solid hour of 130km/hr and I gotta tell you that was about the noisiest windy ride I've been on. Physically it was a little tiring but the noise at that speed was insane, ear plugs included. (I didn't overheat though :) ) My concern with a short screen like that, and I could hear it in the video, is the buffeting at speed. I feel the width would allow enough air to keep cool. For some background, I currently also ride an ST1100 and spent some time and money on getting a shield that lets very little air through. I can see just over it and it is extra wide too. Great for cold weather (Canadian here), real stinker in heat described above but that's what the DR is for I guess right? After all that: Any experience at say sustained 80MPH+ freeway speeds with that shield? Noisy?
@doc650adventuresАй бұрын
Great comment Man! Congratulations on owning one of the best motorcycles ever made! The windscreen does not fully eliminate the buffeting at higher speeds but does mitigate it some. It greatly helps in colder weather by reducing the wind hitting your chest and rising up towards your helmet. It is definitely a good addition for the DR. There are some other good windscreens which provide more wind deflection out there. I guess the Parabelum screen is a compromise between size and capability . Great to hear from a neighbor up in Canada! Hope this video was of some help and ride safe Mate!

After two pinch flats in two months, I am looking to try this heavy sidewall tire on my DR650. Did you go with the 120mm or the 130mm width? I am running a Shinko 244 in the 5.10 width currently.
@doc650adventures3 ай бұрын
Hello! I went with the 130 in the rear. It does well on and off road. The side walls are tough and a pinch flat should not be an issue. An example of this is K had them sitting around for awhile (mounted) and put them back on my DR and they looked fine. In always check tire pressures before a ride and they were at really low pressure even though they supported the weight of the bike fine. Also, a friend has them on his Tenere and he rode across the US twice and still had plenty of tread left. They can get sketchy in wet situations though due to the tire compound. Hope this helps! Ride On and Cheers!!

Mine still has decel pop if I chop the throttle but a slower reduction in throttle it doesn’t happen. Congratulations on your 2024 DR650! They are great bikes!

Cheers Buddy! I’m am glad these people videos were of some help! If you plan on keeping your DR650 for many years, the suspension mods from Cogent are definitely worth it! Better on road manners and transformative performance off road. Sounds like our riding styles are similar. I do like to tear out up off road sometimes though. Understand about the age thing and not wanting to get hurt. I am late 50s and typically ride alone which limits my aggressiveness. Hope this is helpful and thanks for the great question!

10 degrees? Yuck! Good time to mod your bike though! I have not made many adjustments to my new suspension since Cogent had it set really well out of the box. I have at times adjusted the spring preloads on both the forks and the rear shock depending on the terrain I would ride. More off road and the front gets more preload and the rear gets a little more due to adding panniers with gear. There is only about 20mm of added preload on the rear shock due to the risk of damage to the shock. I can tell you that the suspension upgrade is definitely transformational for the DR! Thanks for the update and keep em coming! Hope it warms up for you soon!
