Great video and well explained the whole way through with some tips and tricks. I'm grateful for videos like yours and people like you. Like a few other guys out there, I didn't have a constant roll model around to show me these things growing up; Or to force my snot nose self to learn 😅. I had a loving mother who did the best she could. I just wanted you to know that videos like yours may have a greater impact then you realize. Okay, I'll go back to my grumpy middle aged self now.

Thanks Dino for the great video! I was riding my DR this morning and noticed that the same blinker you worked on in this video, was not working. I Googled it when I got home and found your video. I have watched several of your videos and always find them well done and informative, Thanks!

Wow you are mind reader! I need to fit some indicators to my DR650 as it was stolen and eventually returned 4 months later minus the indicators and brake combination light. This video is very helpful in figuring out what goes where! They even took off the grab rails! Thanks!

I am glad the video is helpful. Karl had his bike stolen as well a while back with the same outcome, fortunately they had not yet removed the lighting but were well on the way. I'm glad you got your bike back. Dino

Dino, hello! I am glad to see your channel! I'm from Russia myself and I want to buy a Dr650. It costs us $ 10,000 19 year of manufacture. And now I'm in agony to buy or not to buy

This was a great video and I will try it tomorrow. I don't have a broken tail light but I want to install a stock DR 650 rear rack so I have to remove the rear signal lights to do that. I will be looking for a piece of string to attach to the wires for routing, what a great idea. My Bark Buster mod today did not go as well as the yours did in your video, the attaching hardware did not line up but I can return on Monday and try a different setup. Hopefully the signal light removal and installation will go as smooth as yours did, rainy and wet here anyways and I love to tinker.

Awesome video Dino ,liked and subscribed ,i have a broken turn signal assembly to change and this will be super helpful, love the string idea ,reminds me of an electricians tip from long ago, watched your tank change video as well. Thank you for giving us the confidence to "tinker" with our own bikes its very gratifying to do ones own work. Keep up the good work , we just got 15 cm of snow here in BC so i'm gonna go change this turn signal and then Not go riding lol, Happy New Year and wishing you a great and safe riding season.

I laid my bike down and broke that same wire. I shaved off a little insulation and then soldered it to get the light functional. The pod is also damaged, some electrical tape is providing support for now.

Electrical tape can be a tool when required, lol. It does seem like a weak point to me but it is easily reparable. Thank you for the comment 😀 Dino

It's a lot less fun when the pod is damaged/not the wiring harness - that hot wire is crimper onto that end contact pin like a bugger!😢 fighting with 1 now

The headlight is starting to act up on my DR, I move the big chunk of wires and it works, I move it again and it stops working, I'm not looking forward to taking that all apart and finding where the wires are broken!
