This video is phenomenal! Great cool shots like the turntable in low light. I too have wondered about all the money I put into my DR. I think ultimately what I came up with is that I wanted Japanese build quality for my motor and transmission. The DR650S and XR650L are the bikes still being produced in the old 80's Japanese style of build them strong, simple and reliable. The shortcoming is, building them that way also forgoes all the improvements of power, suspension and lightweight. All the mods are just an attempt to get closer to that side of the pie chart. I like owning a bike that has 3000 mile oil changes and can go 60000 miles before needing a rebuild. I can ride it in the dirt, and on the street too. Thanks for the awesome video, hope you keep on making more.

When I bought my DR I promised not to try to make a KTM out of it. Then I spent $3k on upgrades AND bought a Beta RR-S. Doh! Best bang/buck: D606 / Scorpion Trail; Racetech Emulators and springs. Acerbis 5.3 tank, Sargent seat (not as nice as Concepts, but cheap.) ProTaper "Woods Low" bars. Luxury items: GPR steering stabilizer/fat bar riser (makes knobbies safer on the street and helps stream crossings.) Racetech shock re-valve. Magura hydraulic clutch (ends frequent cable replacement.) Oxford heated grips with controller built into left grip. The bike was "jetted" when I bought it, with 3 screen plugs in the airbox. It wouldn't rev until I put a stock main jet in it. Lots of bad advice WRT carbs on the internet, just leave it all alone.

He'd spent a lot of money on it but things got in the way and I made him an offer. Here we go with the upgrades he's done... It seems to get along Ok Oxford hot grips, Renthal bars, Bark Busters. Ventura pack rack. BRB Bash plate. Acerbis tank, 20 litre ( white ) , New seat professionally built. Enlarged and lowered footpegs. New muffler ( GSXR600 ?) . Aftermarket sidestand. Airbox mod with Keihen carb replacing the original. All jetted and tuned Mitas tyres, offroad biased 80/20 road. Fuel filter and aftermarket fuel tap. Fork upgrade, FFRC plex valves and progressive springs. Moose counter shaft sprocket cover. New shock spring and FFRC piston and shim stack work done. Most receipts for the work done and I have the original parts as well. Look forward to continuing to run it in and , there's my upgrade. Mileage on the clock from today is 1703 kms. I wonder whether these bikes will hold or, appreciate in value in the coming years. ? Who cares... I'll hang on to mine for now. Christchurch , New Zealand

Other than _maybe_ a slip on and associated minor carb tweaks, And the seat, I wouldn’t bother touching a single thing on the DR except the tires to match the terrain I’m riding on and maybe the handlebars. I’d _never_ bother changing the tank. Personally, I’m fine getting off the pig every hundred or so miles. The stock suspension is 100% fine if you get the sag and fluid wt dialed. No need to change the springs unless you’re huge or tiny. I’m neither. If you feel the need to try to make the dr into a lightweight trail bike, just get a drz400 and get on with it. And I suspect that after you’ve had it for a few years, you’ll feel the same.

Bought a new 2024 DR650, I am an experienced 68 yr old trail rider. The stock DR650 shocked me for how good it was. The bike is just nearly perfect stock. My mods are a plastic skid plate, drill out fuel screw and add a washer to needle, and removed the snorkel that made the motor more powerful than my fully tweeked XR650L. My only other mod was to but washers on pegs to remove flex. Here is the controversial part, I love the seat, tank, bars, pegs, and tires. All you have to do to feel that way is ride my 2015 WR450R on pavement for 50 miles and you will love the DR as much as I do. In fairness I have way better trail bikes than DR so my goal was to do backroads and forest roads only and it works there great stock

The upgrades to my DR650 include a heavy duty skid plate, Tusk Dsport tires, and a bright LED headlight. I think that's all. Everything else is stock. I actually like the seat, but the bars could be better but I really don't care, they work for me. My first DR650 was back in '05 and I loved it. The one I have now is a '21. I ride the bike in Colorado on 4x4 trails and single track, it's very capable, plenty of power, and easy to ride on gnarly, steep and rocky terrain with little effort. I find the suspension and gearing to work just fine for that type of terrain. When the day of riding is done, I get on the highway and ride back home, it's an excellent street bike as well.

modding potential is why we buy DRs. Unfortunately they can't be sold new in Australia any more because of a lack of mandated ABS as of end of 2022. I bought a very slightly used 2008 model in 2011 and was advised to do some trips before deciding what, and in what order, I wanted to change. That trip was a 7,000km ride (including lots of sand) to Australia's red centre from Sydney return, my baptism to off road adventure. My list of mods now, 12 years later are as follows: large exhaust pipe and 2002 GSXR750 muffler, TM40 pumper carb, bash plate, 17" road wheels/road tyres for suburban use and braided front line (this combination together with its relatively light weight makes it a very decent suburban stopper), rear spring and shock upgrade (ie my own shock recalibrated by a DR specialist) to suit my travelling weight, front guard aluminium stiffener, Ricoh intimidators for front forks, 22 litre Acerbic tank gives up to 400+ kms range, rear rack, side racks and soft bags, small deflector windscreen, heated grips, LED headlight, waterproof 12V heavy amp socket, and the usual precautionary fixes (NSU unit safety wired, rear upper chain guide removed, front sprocket seal), pivot pegs, BarkBuster hand guards. No doubt I'll edit and add to this. I have a KTM 790 Adventure for normal road touring with off road jaunts whenever possible but the DR I'd trust anywhere and it has a much lighter weight. I'll keep the DR650 forever. I have kept the standard bars. I've had no reason to change them to this point AND I've always been comfortable enough on the standard seat (I did 1100kms in a day on it once). The other thing, the main thing, I'd like to add is this. I would argue you'll bond more with your bike as a companion, friend even, when you take the time and thought to modify it yourself. Many people can plunk down a credit card for their latest fancy with all and any options added on by the dealer, but what incentive is there to keep it when the next big thing arrives? Just get out the card again - same old, same old.

I did all this plus got the ADV wheel set-up. That is, a fatter rear (150) and a 19" front (at 120 I think) -- That was expensive... and I feel made it look way better, added a fun factor for riding... but ultimately I compromised all it's off-road ability. In the end... although it gave me more smiles... once I got used to it, it just felt like it lost it's edge with those sumo style wheels. After 5 years I sold it. Now I ride a KTM 950sm... wish it was an SE, but whatever... I don't miss the DR as much as I loved her.

I've ridden over 40 years, desert raced and enduro's. Rode and won on street legal modified xr 600's and 650r. Switched to ktm 525's in 06. I still have one but now my favorite bike for mountain and desert riders, believe it or not, is my 2019 dr 650. It's more fun and comfortable than my ktm 690. Started with a seat concepts seat and full fmf exhaust. Installed a fcr pumper 41mm carb with 170 main and 48 pilot. Now the engine has no hiccups and makes full power whenever you need it. Also opened up the airbox. For me the suspension was not even close so I put on 99 rm 250 usd forks and a revalved 89 cr 500 shock. Making the shock fit was the hardest part. I changed out the headlight for a light ktm unit along with a ktm front fender. Both in black. It saves weight and the fender is not floppy. Also took off the rear inner fender and stock taillight for a small universal led unit. Got rid of the steel tank for an acerbis 5.3 gallon and put pro taper bars with a 2 inch riser. I can carry a passenger comfortably down mountain trails now. This bike feels totally different from stock, it rivals some of the best bikes I've ridden. For what they cost, you can get one cheap and have a blast making it better with some of the best results I've seen once finished.

@@rangeroadmoto one major issue I had was the fuel injector would clog up leaving me to limp home. I ride a lot of miles in a day and put my bikes through a lot, but maintain them well and the fuel injector issue I had with my 690 would make me leave that bike at home when I go out of state to ride or on long trips. It would flame out a lot when it started getting clogged then loose power. I put on extra fuel filters and cleaned the injector every few weeks, but it would still let me down. I also did not like the frame, it limits your steering lock to lock in a tight situation. I put different forks on it and lighter oil in the rear shock, but the bike had a harsh feel I could never get rid of. I think it is in the rear linkage, or possibly in the frame geometry. My 690 was an 09, and a friend has had 4 since, including 1 now. Whenever he is up he always would rather ride one of my bikes and wants me to fix his, but I still have not found a good way to make the 690 work for me. I love the power they are capable of making though, and they are a good Road bike. I wouldn't trade the suzuki for a 690 though. For the price difference you can make the suzuki a much better bike and still have spent several thousand less.

@@rangeroadmoto the fcr 41 I put on my bike was a game changer. The top end is the only area the 690 has it beat, and I think that is questionable. I haven't compared them back to back yet but I think the 650 is at an advantage having a carburetor. There is only so much you can do with fuel injection, and a pile of brass jets is a lot cheaper than a power comander, which is still limited. I'm going to bump up my compression on the 650 which is under 300 dollars. Once I do I'm pretty sure it will beat the 690 in every way. I have had more fun modifying the DR more than any other bike. It gives back better results than ant other bike I've had.

Man thank you so much! That’s super nice to hear. So I actually just bought a 2013 ktm 500 exc. I have only put a couple thousand km’s on it so far. But the plan is to see how it does as a light weight adv bike. I was riding some gnarly (for me) single track the other day that I am pretty confident I would have turned back if I was on the Dr650, but the 500 was amazing off road. In one day I put over 600kms of off road and highway on the bike. I was dead when I got back. It wasn’t super windy that day but I am curious how much difference there is between the dr650 and the ktm in the wind. The 500 is definitely more vibraty. Especially in the feet. I have a seat concepts tall seat so the butt comfort is marginally different, just narrower than the 500. The power is night and say difference between the two that is for sure. I feel like at this point if I was going to get something bigger and more comfortable I would be aiming my sights at a 690 enduro R.

For someone new to street riding the KTM500 was too tall and light for me to feel confident over 80km/hr (knobby tires probably didn't help) so I definitely want something with a lower center of gravity and a little more weight to build confidence in Calgary traffic. I think I'm gonna go with the DR650 because I can buy 2 for the price of a KTM690. Then I won't be afraid to push myself and drop it lol. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I knew you'd decide to make changes eventually! It is only a matter of time before a box appears in your garage and your wallet becomes magically lighter. If it were me the next thing I'd reach for are some larger pegs. You don't realize it till you change em' but the DR's pegs are really small. If you want to change out your stock shock's valving to fit the spring feel free to reach out. I have shim stacks that worked good for the 8.0 and 8.3 springs. It's pretty cheap to do, ~$40 US for the shims and oil and whatever a nitrogen fill runs you in your area (usually $25-$40). Worst case scenario you go back in with all new wear components and those run you $70 or so extra. Still ends up being cheaper than buying a new drop-in unit.

Wow that’s sounds like quite the Dr! I am curious about the frame reinforcements, I was riding a 690 enduro R and it felt so much more adjile. I know there are many many things that contribute to that but I wondered how much the modern trellace frame helped with that feeling. Just less flex.
@jensenmiller64103 жыл бұрын
@@rangeroadmoto The main section of the frame that cradles the engine is pretty strong. Not amazing but not anything that's worth attempting to fix. I focused on the subframe and area where the swingarm and subframe forces are concentrated and others had seen failures (left side). TLDR: I wanted to make sure the ass end didn't fall off. I definitely made it more rigid since I can now feel the slight hum of the chain through my seat every now and then. Suzuki took a lot of steps to make the DR's frame pretty limp. Lots of kinks and very few gussets and it makes me wonder what they were thinking about when making it. The DR's main frame flaw (and blessing) is being made of 1018 Mild Steel. Not something super strong or super light but we can weld on it ourselves. I used sections of 4130 tubing and 8mm 1018 rod for most of my stuff. Though I did all the cutting and fabbing, I paid a professional to weld it (though the pro got a kick out of being able to MIG it). Makes you wonder what a DR made out of chromoly would feel like. Probably 1K more expensive but stiffer and quite possibly stronger.

This has been on my watchlist for a while. Wow. I love the creativity that went into it. I chuckled a few times at your stock part analogies. And that transition on the spinner there to the frame of the bike, nicely done. What were you spinning it on? I’m still stunned by what a huge impact upgrading the suspension on my 500 exc had. You hear it all the time yet I hesitated for over a year to drop $500 on some coiled up bits of metal. When I finally accepted my bike was under sprung seeing it bottomed out in my photos and videos I took the plunge. The bike not only sticks to the ground where I ask it too, it also hops like a gazelle when I need to. I always thought I was just shitty at hopping drainage ditches but now I sail over them. I’m now going down the road of ECU remapping. The AUS map made a huge difference but I wanted to go to the outer limits and sent it away for a racing map. New pivot pegs went on this week and I’m eager to see what kind of an impact those have on my ride.

This is a great video and it really highlights the uniqueness of this bike. The beauty of the big DR, like you alluded to, is it’s a “blank slate” …a great foundation upon which to build; IMHO, it’s greatest asset and biggest curse. As a new Bush Pig owner, you're inundated by all the "must do" mods ...and everyone will tell you they are all "must-do" mods. They're not. You need to critically evaluate them and do some research. However, there's *is* one *essential* mod; the Neutral Sending Unit ...which you didn't mention. For whatever reason, Suzuki either didn't use, or use enough of, thread locker on the small bolts holding the plastic neutral sensor to the case. Over time, the copious engine vibrations loosen these small bolts to the point they fall out and drop into the gearbox. End of story. This would be "job one" for any new owner of a pre-owned DR. Anything and everything after this is strictly optional. The DRRiders Forum is the online "go-to" for all things "Bush Pig"; it is 100% DR650 and a massive store of information to mine about the bike. So, you can make the bike just about whatever you want based on your intended riding style. The fact the bike has zero technology and is grandfathered into current emissions laws makes working on it easy. For US versions, the sum total of emissions is the fixed (non-adjustable) stock needle jet; score the Canadian needle and you get a proper adjustable needle jet. There’s a ton of aftermarket support for the bike. And therein lies the curse. Does your Bush Pig become nothing more than a “bling magnet” or are you able to make a plan, decide and do the upgrades you feel are suitable to adapt the bike to your riding intentions …and then stop. Quoting from your "swansong" video, when you made the decision to sell your DR; "I don't want peace, I want problems! Always!" Well, you can certainly have it that way but it doesn't *need* to be that way. Blindly doing mods because someone ...or everyone else ...says they're necessary (or, wants to sell you their swifty, keeno, neato jet kit that'll turn the Bush Pig into a Rocket Pig or whatever "sponsored" content is offering up) is a great way to make sure you don't get peace with your bike. Because if you can’t stop, always heeding the call of the latest “must do” KZbin or Forum fad, then you’ll find yourself spending more and more money on a machine that will always be second class behind the more modern dual sport bikes (which are decidedly based on off-road machines). If you can decide your course, make the mods to attain it and maintain it, you’ll end up a long-term and happy Bush Pig owner. I had to laugh about your "adventure" with the exhaust system (and to some degree the carb). My'12 DR was already graced by the PO with a hideously loud SuperTrapp IDS2 Quiet(?) system poorly mated to an FMF Powerbomb header. I lived with and tweaked this cheezey combo for about a month. With two discs in the IDS2 I found the noise level acceptable. The header/mid-pipe joint I couldn't fix; the FMF pipe is designed to work with FMF silencers; the IDS2 mid-pipe diameter was smaller (same as stock head pipe). So much for a smooth exhaust flow. So I had to wonder how effective this ~ $800US mish-mash of parts was with regard to the stock exhaust setup ...I figured little to none. I reinstalled the stock system, which was included when I bought the bike, and couldn't have been happier. I noticed no drastic drop in power (which led me to believe I was right in my assumption) and I was able to reset the sketchy intake and carb jetting work; I bought the aforementioned adjustable needle jet and a stock 140 main jet and I listened to this relatively small voice from Motolab (not to be confused with Moto Lab). The needle was set one notch richer than the US fixed version. I closed up the drilled openings in the air filter side access panel on the airbox, removed the airbox snorkle (which the OP had strangely left in place) and the backfire screen. The idle mixture and idle speed were tweaked proper. Throttle response is excellent, the bike pulls hard, has that tractor-like torque and runs like a champ. My Bush Pig brings my 157 pound ass to 70mph about as fast as I care to have it moved, thank you. The moral of the story is you *don't* have to spend a small fortune on this bike to get improvements in performance and a lot can be done using the stock parts.
