r/dr650

Goin thru the nsu fix using procycles instructions and kinda made a doofus mistake. The instructions show the wire going on the far side of the top screw rather than what i did. the bottom one as well which i slid them both thru one which im concerned about it possibly coming out? Also with the top wiring it may not tighten that well if the bottom loosens? I put on red loctite and it’s still probably good enough to stop them from coming right? I’ll have to cut the wires and start over if necessary and i don’t want to put everything back together and not have the job be done well. Any input would be great.

I currently have a CarPlay unit and the trail tech Vapor Speedo installed on it, has anyone moved their indicator section somewhere easier to see?

600 miles in. Cause for alarm? Thanks in advance for the beta!

Purchased this 2007 DR650 with 12k miles for $1200 a few weeks back, it was sitting in a guys barn in Northern Washington. Didn’t run, just needed a little love.

New coil, jets, plugs, stator, pickup, ignition switch, turn signals, plastics, Tusk Waypoint tires, springs, boots, and an OEM exhaust from a wrecked DR650.

She runs great!

It came with an aftermarket seat and it’s horribly uncomfortable, is the seat concepts the best for a big rider? 6’4 275

Hey there I’m having an issue with my new to me DR. I lost power after a full day of riding and the battery was completely dead. I couldn’t bump start it and had to get a tow to a friends. The starter button was a little loose all day and at one point fell out. Once I got home I connected a charged battery and the bike immediately started trying to start without pushing any starter button or having the key in the on position. Once in the on position the bike would start right up but it sounds like the starter motor is still running. I have confirmed the starter button is not making connection.

My thought is that something has occurred with the starter relay? Potentially that I was riding with the starter motor running to the point that it killed the battery and fucked something up. Haven’t had a ton of time to research due to trying to figure out how to get the bike back to my house

Any tips would help. The spring on the starter button is gone …

I have a 2019 DR650, I changed to an IMS 5 gallon tank. my old peacock was a vacuum one, the new one is not. the instructions said to run the vacuum line to the top of the tank. now the bike runs for a couple I ple minutes then shuts off or shuts off when you twist the throttle which I know is fuel starvation.

Hey I’m sure this has been covered before but I’m pretty new to DRs. I was cleaning my chain today and noticed how loose my chain is. I also noticed my rear sprocket has some play to it and I’m assuming that’s not good. Both videos were taken with the center stand down and the back wheel off the ground. My bike has 13k miles on it and I’m guessing these items haven’t been replaced before. I bought the bike used at 5k miles

This bike continues to be some of the most fun I’ve had on 2 wheels!

Got this thing with 20,000 kms on the clock. Won't tell ya how much I paid as it was probably a little too much.

So far I've just been messing about learning how to ride, took it up to 100kms and around a few twisties. Scared myself on one of them but had fun learning.

Now I'm looking to do a tear down of the bike, it had a service a week before I bought it and was warranted the day before also.

The plan is just oil, filter, check axle and bearings for grease. Inspect and potentially clean the air box and filter. Check and adjust valve clearance also.

The carb has some brown staining around it and (with my limited experience) the carb feels like it's running a little richer than I was expecting from a factory set carb. I'm likely going to do a rebuild and clean of the carb at some stage but I'm enjoying riding the bike too much at the moment to commit to having the bike out of action for a week or 2 while I figure out how to tune the thing.

What are some things i should inspect/service at this stage?

2020 dr650. I had a bunch of gas in the crank case so im trying to clean out the carb and maybe rebuild the petcock. My air mixture screw looks different than the one in the video is that normal? Also any advice on what might be wrong if theres gas in the crank case. The float in the carb seems fine and gas isnt leaking out of the petcock when i have it sitting on the ground.

looks like maybe they used liquid gasket or something to attach this?

Still probably has a neutral light issue..

Crossed 1000 miles on my new DR today

After a ride, I notice a couple oil drips on the floor after a time. It’s a 2023 with 23,166 miles. The pictures are four weeks of riding since I cleaned the engine free of any oil residue. New to the dr. The drip stains seen in the photo are an accumulation over the past year. Only one stain is from today
