I haven't ridden my DR650 fully loaded yet..But from riding my KTM690 long distance fully loaded. You may want to move your top bag closer to you on the rear seat. And reposition your straps. My frontend was real light and twitchy.. And moving the top bag solved it.. Your setup may be fine though... just something to keep in mind.

@ronanrogers41274 жыл бұрын
NzJohny ...yep, any weight at the back creates what they call a pendulum effect, like the pendulum on an old wall clock swinging with the weight at the bottom of the shaft. It’s always much better to move the weight forward, and of course to put your lightest things there like sleeping bags etc.

What did you end up doing for the suspension, and who did you use for the revalve in Christchurch? I'm also in Christchurch and just ordered a new DR650. I'm thinking of going with Plex valve for the fork and the FFRC piston and shim stack for the rear. As a dirt rider and DH mountain biker I just know the stock suspension won't be good enough for me.
@NzJohny3 жыл бұрын
Sounds like the way to go mate. I actually didn't end up doing anything and since sold the bike. Long story short I have another dr650 now. So if u r happy with your suspension setup when u do it then I'd love to hear how it is.

@Cayoot5 жыл бұрын
Great video, thanks for making it! You said that you've heard that there isn't enough grease in the steering and rear linkage, so you added more. I have to ask...when you took it apart, what was YOUR opinion? Did you think there was a real lack of grease, or did you just decide that as long as you already took it apart, you might as well add more grease? I'm a brand new DR owner, and I don't feel very confident on my mechanical abilities. So I'm really wondering if this is something I really need to try to tackle.

My DR looks very much like yours, with exception of the Acerbis tank. My tank is stock. On the rear fender mod, how's that working out with you? I was thinking about doing that, but it seems like a lot of people who've done it are reversing it and putting the "dad fender" back on because of mud fly. The rest of my bike is nearly a duplicate of yours. I'd also like to know what brackets you used to mount your auxiliary lights. I have those same lights, but I have mine down on my forks. I upgraded my headlight and they seem to give it additional width where they are. I'd like to add more on my Bark Busters for distance. Thanks.

@@NzJohny If you get tired of looking at your shoulders in your mirrors, I picked up some mirror extensions off of eBay for $27 (American). I thought they were a little over priced for what they were, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd do it right now without a flinch. Best thing I've done in a while. I did break down and order an Acerbis tank (5.3gallon) this week. I'll probably order 2 petcocks (right and left) and "T" the fuel line. I don't like the plastic petcock that comes with the tank, and I've seen folks get real low on fuel and not be able to access the fuel on the right side. Had to watch your video again.👍
