A quick look at Farrell Bearings shows the good FAG bearings cost ~$38 for 2 x 20X47X14mm and 1 x 25X52X15mm bearings.
I don't think I'll be getting upset at having to replace those every now & then.

Just to add a bit extra, I got a SKF 6205 for $16, so cheap as. Any way I also found that SKF make a Angular contact ball bearing (7205) that can take a bit of side loading, I thought this might solve the problem but at $98 I figure I can use quite a few 6205's before I can justify the cost.
this cure maybe possable for the DR650...
works well on the XT660s.. makes the cush drive rubbers last
as well as the bearing....
replace the carryer bearing with a double row ball race

Going to have to do some serious commuting on my DR650, and wondering if there are any easy 17" road wheels/tyres options out there to provide me a second set of wheels. Buying spare part hubs and lacing rims is an option for lots of $'s - wondering if anyone knows if wheels from another bike can be easily made to fit? Still want to have the knobbies for the off-road weekends.
Was just looking for longer life and better grip of road tyres for inter-city commuting, and knobbies for the weekend adventuring.
Easier to change wheels than change tyres. wanted to have 2 sets of wheels and tyres to choose from. If I was going to have road tyres anyway on one set, thought there would be better selection going for a more road standard rim/section. Happy to lace a rim onto a standard hub - but was hoping there would be something around you could buy second hand and just throw on with a few spacer changes ...
Do you have a mechanical or digital speedo? When changing to the smaller diameter front you'll have to mess around getting that correct if you want to keep the bikes KM's accurate.
Although the same diameter, I have two sets of rims for one of my bikes and I only ever swap the rear over, if ever at all. I don't commute on it though. Fronts are much more forgiving wear wise.
Also you might have to consider brake disc /calliper location /sizes
Hi Guys
Long time no post but I passed the Dr onto one of my sons. He may not thank me.
Anyone got a spare headlight lens for an 03 ish headlight they would part with for a price?
The repaired/cracked one no longer gets passed for the wof.
Thanks in anticipation.
Does anyone know if an 07 GSXR muffler can be adapted easily to the DR. I've got a mate who will give me one off his GSXR, but I notice that it seems to be the earlier models that are talked about.
First post on this forum so I hope that I've done this the right way.
I've got a GSXR can on my KLR - it was previously removed from a DR650. the one I've got is the 18G1, I believe its the second most desirable (the first one was even lighter). It was shortened about 75mm before I got it, standard it would stick too far back. Whatever you get will require a custom mid-pipe. Have a look at http://mxrob.com/mxrob_010.htm
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
