Hello! Thank you so much for this! I am learning, so please bear with me! I want to install a USB charging port on my DR. If I get the eastern beaver 2 pin connector, does it matter what connectors are on the end of the usb unit I buy or can I simply cut them off, strip the wire, and put the eastern beaver pin on them? This is the one I am considering: GOBGOD USB C Car Charger Socket 12V/24V USB Outlet, 36W Dual Quick Charge 3.0 Car Dual USB Port with LED & Touch Switch DIY Car Socket Thank you so much for your help! Subscribed and looking forward to watching your videos!

Hi there, I’m looking to wire in a charge mount quad lock to my GS but the factory fuse box is pretty slim pickings for ignition live sources. Can you use a fuse tap from the RID / power socket fuse or is the RID a bit iffy to tap from ??

Great video, where are you measuring from and to on the rear shock?

I just installed this headlight on my 2023 XR650L and it is sooooo much better than the stock headlight. Highly recommend and worth every penny!

Hey there man I hope you’re fine, yesterday y was working on my bike and just changed the fuel filter and reconnected everything and the bike won’t start, there is no fuel flow and my fuel pump works as it sounds, when I press the starter it moves the engine but there is no fire at all, spark plugs are sparking but fuel injectors the have a very poor spray almost nothing and as well there is no spark or pulse on them , any suggestions?

Great job, very impressive!

Best pies in NZ hands down

Thank you so much for this video. Great lighting and framing to see exactly what's going on the whole time - what a blessing! You rock.

Fuckn insane good shit man

14 front here ... good off-road...fine for secondary hiways around here

Great Video

What size do the filter tool (for original oilfilter) has? thx

Not best video. Would like to have seen the bags removed and longer showing the full process not a shortened version of what was done but concept is understoof

Thanks. One of the best full videos of walking through a process with no assumption that we know everything. Can wait to see removing rear tires on a bagger

You only had to remove the air box

You use more fuel at low revs with single cylinders. Higher rpm and reduce chugging on engine. Smaller boom at more frequency better than bigger booms less frequent

Hi Dan great video have you covered seat adjustment on video yet thanks

Great video, Dan! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. I just bought a 1150 GSA and will do the basic services myself. I found your video very useful. All the best!

Perfect! Have the same problem. Will do this.

Great video! Thank you!

Still trying to find cam chain tensioner shims for my meanstreak ........

Hey Dan, you've been a bit quiet lately. Everything good?.

I’m 210lbs 6ft tall and most of my bike is stock I don’t understand the hate for the seat

What is name and brand on clutch oil ? My 2008 Kawasaki 1600 mean streak.

One VERY important procedure not shown is to place the cylinder to top dead center on compression stroke. If not there is a good chance the cam, can jump a tooth or two when you remove the tensioner. Then you have to remove engine and retime each cam.

Thanks for the vid most helpfull

Thank you

Does it matter what lead goes to what plug?

Thanks for video👍

I'm surprised.why does no one bother with the fact that by increasing the stroke of the tensioner you violate the calculation of chain tension.as a result, this leads to the fact that the chain begins to saw the wells of candles, until the oil goes! Don't do that. If the tensioner is over, you need to change the chain, not extend the tensioner!

You have the best description by far on how this is done. Very direct , simple . Thank you. Im doing mine today.

Could a new starter be installed the same way?

WOW! That was a rough day! There's no way I'd try to go through some of that stuff you did. I'm sure you didn't get up that morning and say, "Hey, I think I'll ride my DR up and down IN the river!" That was some absolutely gorgeous scenery, though. I'm glad you didn't get injured and thank you for this video.

Great video brother.

Why mirror the video? I don't get it ! 😕

Thank you.

So you had to fix your gearbox at 10000K! Wow. Mine has 20000. Should I worry ? Any signs indicating a problem ?

Hi, Just discovered your vids. They’re really great for maintenance tips on my R1150GS! I want to install a sat nav and led beams and saw this video on the PC8 to connect to. However I cannot find where to order one… do you know a proper replacement for it?

Thank you!

Did Suzuki ever do anything regarding the gear issues in the newer bikes?

Unfortunately, this is the wrong way to go - the timing chain has been undersized from the first model in '89 to the present day. The chain is getting longer and longer, so it only helps to lengthen the chain tensioner for a short time. I have had very good experiences with DID chains, they are better than original Kawasaki chains.

Have the Dunlop Version of these {Im sure Shinko copied the D750} that come on the KLR 650 and Im impressed. For the intended purpose of the bike they suite it very well. They respond well to psi changes on/offroad.

I Laddie you not be twisting.

Thank you for your video. I purchased a 2002 DR650 in April 2024 with 6150 km. Has the part you replaced been upgraded so that this is no longer a problem? Do you advise me to change it now before it breaks? Thank you. Alain from Canada

I could not agree more. I fell for the hype many years ago, tried 16t front sprockets on both a DR650SE and a Kawasaki KLR650C. The KLR got away slightly better but the large step between 1st and 2nd gear felt even bigger. The experience I had with the DR650SE was pretty much the same you mentioned. The bike felt anaemic, I had to take even more care not to let the revs drop and end up with the engine just yanking on the chain. Accelerating and overtaking between 90km/h and 120km/h the bike felt like it had a power restriction and would not do much unless geared down into 4th or even 3rd. Both the KL650C and DR650SE used more fuel with the 16t front sprockets.

Been a dream of mine to do the South Island on my Blackbird thanks for this much appreciated 🙏

Offroad: 14X42 or 43 Onroad: 15X38,39 or 40.

Thank you for your video. Are you doing all those miles on the original Suzuki seat? Thanks, Alain

Great video! Changing mine for the first time. Really appreciate the explanation while you work.

Hey Dan - hope everything is going well for you and your family mate. Hopefully you’ll get an opportunity to upload some more content for us at some point. Cheers mate.
