[@peterschwarer4352]

Great job with the videos, currently rebuilding a 1990 350S. Previous owners mistakes have slowed the progress down but these videos are a big help on seeing how things are supposed to be.....thanks !!

Hi Peter! Welcome in DR350 club :D Good luck with rebuilding this bike. Winter is coming, so there is a lot of time to work :)

bad bad junk video you say notihng about taking the cam out or chain get off youtube

[@LosVRC]

My mechanic did the same thing, but he forgot to put back the Camshaft Keeper ring, and after running it the Camshaft broke in 3 pieces, destroyed the entire head, and cover....you guys make great videos on the DR350

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

It must we the worst feeling ever when you miss small part and this mistake makes big problem. At clutch cover there is also some kind of sealing. When you forget it, then there is no oil pressure in the engine. I hope this DR is fine now :)

You do great work, very professional. I have a 1998 DRES 350 and a 1991 that I am doing a ground up restoration and and am turning it into an electric start version. Love DR's, keep up the good work!

[@noyau06]

excelente video Marta, estuviese bueno que hagas un video completo de desarme y armado de motor ya que en Argentina donde vivo hay muchas motos Suzuki DR350 y tenemos el mismo problema. muchas gracias.

[@MustangNthusiest]

Once again awesome video. Love hearing your accent:)

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Thanks! It is good to know that it doesn't sound terrible, because I'm not native speaker :)

[@sebastiangranada8400]

Marta, seria muy interesante que puedas hacer un video desarmando y armando completamente el motor de la Suzuki Dr 350, acá en argentina hay muchísimas de esas motos y un problema que tienen es con el balanceador que se corta la chaveta o se sale el perno del engranaje y hace que rompas el block del motor. Desde ya muy buenos tus vídeos que le sirven a micha gente. Saludos desde Argentina

Here is table of context: 0:33 - Start 0:44 - Valve cover unscrewing order 2:20 - Camshaft position before screwing back the valve cover 5:16 - Valve cover bolts torque and torquing order.

Really nice video. Just one question. I started to loosen bolts including decompression bolt :(. How can I adjust it as it was? (that was before watching this video) btw, Thanks for all your tutorials, helps a lot with my DR250s.

[@TheBoysToys-เด็กชายชาย]

How many N-m Cylinder head ? (Bolt 14 mm.)

[@glenbawndog]

A great video as always. Two questions for you: 1. Why not use a gasket on the valve / camshaft cover. 2. When tightening down the valve / camshaft cover what type of torque wrench / setup did you use. Looks like a standard ratchet, extension, socket with a digital reader attached. Regards Dermot

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Hi! 1) There is no gasket provided by Suzuki :) The cylinder head cover and the cylinder head makes a bushing for the camshaft. It is very dependent on the gasket thickness and it would be easy to "lock" camshaft while using thinner gasket or make it loose while using thick gasket. So... there is no gasket. Here are a couple of lines from the service manual: CYLINDER HEAD COVER • Thoroughly wipe off oil from the fitting surfaces of cylinder head and cover. • Fit the two dowel pins to the cylinder head. • Unilormly apply SUZUKI BOND No. 1207B/1215 to the cylinder head cover surface. SUZUKI BOND No. 1207B/1215 = liquid gasket, silicone. 2) Yes this one is from aliexpress (www.aliexpress.com/item/33004697921.html). 2-200Nm, 2 adapters and box for 45$. I made couple of tests with 4Nm, 30Nm 100Nm using torque wrench certified in EU. This cheap one from aliexpress is very accurate, error was below 1% as far as I remember. 2 years in use and it is ok. Have a nice day! :)

[@glenbawndog]

Many thanks for the information. Ride safe!

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

You are welcome :)

[@samtab2083]

Why didn't you keep track of cylinder head bolt locations when removing them from the cylinder head?

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

It takes time to learn... you can track bolts when removing, or spend some time to find right place for each bolt :D

lastima no esta en español el subtitulado. muy bueno los videos de este canal

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Hola! A veces la gente de España agrega subtítulos propios a nuestros videos. Solo podemos hablar inglés y polaco, por lo que agregamos subtítulos solo en EN y PL :D Gracias! (traductor de Google)

[@Cristiantripodi]

Habla en un ingles super claro y miy facil de entender.
