I like your home made engine stand, very creative. Thx for this video.

siema, jakie luzy wydechowe przy głowicy z autodeko? 0,17-0,22?

[@albertodellagiustina5797]

Great video! Can I ask where do you find the torque digital scale? Thanks

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Hi! Thanks :) It is from aliexpress, search for "digital torque adapter". This model is 2 to 200Nm and it costs 40$ :)

[@dnsHate]

this valve clearance numbers are for all years?

[@bikemancody2752]

Did you have to adjust the decompression cable any further?

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

No, no adjustment needed. There should be only small free play when it is in off position

[@seanmccarthy7760]

@@DawidMartasMotoAdventures my service manual says to check decom. clearance again after doing the valves.

[@stevetkocz]

Another great video 👍🏻 How often should these valve clearances be checked??

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Thanks! No idea how often you should check valve clearances. I think it depends from riding style - so when you ride it hard, then you should chek it more often. We plan to check it during every winter and always before "big" trip :)

[@kikipikify]

@@DawidMartasMotoAdventures The manual shows every 6 000 km.

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

@@kikipikify Thanks! I'll add this info to the description 👍

[@seanmccarthy7760]

s/m says (combined DR/DRS) Initial 5 then every 60 hrs.

[@Chimmers012]

Should I drain the oil before adjusting the valves?

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

No. But you should put bike in vertical position. On side stand some oil may pour out through crank cap :)

[@abdullahodabasi2139]

Hello i watch all of your videos and i respect that you are amazing... my question is, i will buy a dr350 so soon it needs rear disk, chain, sprocket(i want to get 47 tooth) and front hub bearings... which parts could i get? for example rear disk interchangable with which one? Any 47 tooth rear sprocket fits the hub? Thanks

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Hi Abdullah! I hope there is no errors in this list :) Chain: DID 520 VX2 ( x-ring, I think there is nothing better to buy) Sprockets ( check www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue ) Rear: JTR808(steel)/JTA808(aluminium) 43-53 teeth Front : JTF432 11-15 teeth Rear disc for example NG044 (NG Brake Disc) Bearings: ( www.thisoldtractor.com/dr350_wheel_bearings_and_seals.html ) When you have bearing number like "6202" you need to buy it in hardware shop. Try to buy bearing from NTN, NSK, Koyo, SKF. Also it is nice to replace the hub seals :) Have a nice day!

ciao, bel video, for the suzuki dr 600 is the same?, because i buy now, but is old ( dr 600 1986)and not there is manual... you can help me ? 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@FA113NZ0MB13]

Hey Great videos I've been watching them a lot lately I just recently bought a 93DRS I love riding dual sport bike for my first bike But it has been given me issues with bogging out when I'm in the 4 or 5th gear. I took into a shop to have them look at it but all they did was readjusted the valves to spec and check psi was at 140/160 so they told me they couldn't get the bike to start by kick or bump start but when I took it home I was able to do both but the problem still occurred with bogging/ losing compression. So my buddy and I cleaned the carburetor and also found that the main jet was smaller then what Manuel called for. We put in a 140mm jet since the bike was running really lean (spark plug was totally white) and bike was running good for about two days with no bogg/lost of compression but the 3rd day the bike was showing similar symptoms. Is there anything you can suggest that might help with this problem? We turned out the air fuel mixture screw 2x might turn it 3x out to see if this helps but if you or your husband have any suggestions would be greatly appreciated or anyone in the comments. Thanks again.

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Hi! Sorry for late reply :( Is there any exhaust or airbox modifications? If yes then you need to change jets in carb and it is normal. You may also try to raise or lower main jet needle or make sure there is no problem with floater (and make sure it's height is set properly) Good luck!

[@pudzian3627]

Dzien dobry, Co mogly by byc ze ustawiam ten flywheel na T i zawory nie chca mi sie ruszac

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Przy kolejnym obrocie jest tak samo? Jak się nie trafi za pierwszym obrotem to za drugim muszą złapać luz. Ewentualnie mogą być podparte bo się skasował luz, ale wtedy pewnie silnik by nie odpalał, pracował bardzo licho. No i też mała szansa, że wszystkie 4 zawory byłyby podparte na raz.

[@pudzian3627]

@@DawidMartasMotoAdventures no kręciłem i kręciłem az w końcu znalazłem ten luz. To teraz niby wszystko jest okej

[@pudzian3627]

@@DawidMartasMotoAdventures a czy normalne ze te motory ( 1991r) tak ciezko sie zapalają? Kompresja jest iskra tez, gaznik mial zatkane dysze to je wyczyściłem. A poprzedni właściciel nalal za duzo oleju, no myślał ze na zimnym silniku olej sie sprawdza. No i teraz raz na jakiś czas się zapali ale pracuje slabo i jak sie wyłączy ssanie to gasnie

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Nasza DR po długim postoju ma chwilowe problemy z odpaleniem, ale to do kilku kopnięć. Jak jest latane co kilka dni to nie ma żadnego problemu. Może jakiś problem z techniką kopania? Ewentualnie jeszcze można sprawdzić/ustawić poziom paliwa w gaźniku, w instrukcji jest to opisane jak się ustawia pływak aby było dobrze.

Hey guys! Can I get the size of the o-rings you replaced? Thanks!

[@DawidMartasMotoAdventures]

Sorry. No idea what size it is... I brought valve cover to the shop to try on couple of orings, and bought the best one. After next valve check I'll try to update the size of the oring :)
