DR650 NSU Screw Fix - No Clutch Removal

[@corban48]

Cheers for the vid! Optional tip that worked for me: if you misplace the location of the bolts, you can find out where they go by placing them all in their holes (without screwing in) while the cover is fitted and if every head is pertruding the same distance you'll know that's where they belong. Take note this doesn't include the bolt with the washer as that must go back to where it was removed.

@@corban48 good tip

Great video, love the idea of fixing the NSU screw situation while leaving the clutch in place.

[@tvh300]

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!

Wow! That was a super usefull video. I have a 2002 Sachs 650 Roadster with the Suzuki XF650 Freewind engine in it (basically a twin carb DR650 engine). I think this is some thing I will do at the next oil change. I can't believe you havent go thousand more views, with such good informative videos.

Glad you checked it! At least the bolts were still there. Props to you for getting the job done with the clutch basket on, I pulled mine.

Thanks for posting. Plan on doing this soon. My only recommendation is to add Loctite to the threads so there’s no chance of them backing off.

[@DustinRogersinMO]

Yep. I mention in the video to loctite the new bolts at 8:11

Thanks for making this man

Great Video! I'm just about to fix my NSU. Do you think a strait ball end hex would work. I don't have the torch set up to bend a hex key.

[@DustinRogersinMO]

If it’s long enough, it may work for you. Mine was too short to have enough clearance to turn.

My 2011 DR650 just started to act up today with the neutral light. Looks like I’ll be doing this to my bike this weekend. When I got the bike about a month ago it only had 49 original miles and now has 1800 miles on her. I was hoping I wouldn’t have this happen so quickly.

[@DustinRogersinMO]

Better to get it sorted out before it grenades itself

[@robertr9343]

Gotta use vises groups so they can lock onto the bit my boi

[@RandalAlvarez-by4mr]

Do you happen to have that allen tool for sale?

[@got-to-wonder]

Did Suzuki fix this? And if so what year??

[@DustinRogersinMO]

I think so in 2016-2018 period. You’d have to Google it to be sure.

[@Ryanhwelton]

Good job

[@Asvmad]

Hey man check that oil gear for cracking it looks like mine and with more closer look check the teeth
