Recently brought my bike over from the UK, but just not using it anymore and it is gathering dust which is a shame for such a bike.
All standard.
Not so good bits (honest!):
Speedo cable snapped, and suspect worm drive is gone as well, so it has a large bicycle speedo on it at the moment (it passed wof with it on).
Chain tensioner bolts are very tight and I cannot move them with the tools I have. Currently using spacers to make adjustments.
Petrol tap needs replacing - I have the new one but not got round to replacing it. Still works perfectly on reserve.
Other than that it is a very nice example, few blemishes as would be expected from a 13 year old bike.
Engine is the Suzuki DR 650, so very reliable and easy to get parts for here. No knocks and still out-performs many bikes upto a certain speed!
Brakes are Brembo (new front caliper and disc a few hundred miles ago), suspension WP.
Recent oil change (plus filter)
Recent air filter change
Professionally steam cleaned prior to bringing to NZ (5 months ago)
Comes with MX stand (dampered one)
Good amount of life in chain and tyres.
It does not come with the spare 21" wheels (i don't have them, only the 17s)
Off to give it a good clean now! :yes:
Asking $4,800 or near offers. Can be seen in Paparoa Northland, or can bring down to Auckland.
Any questions PM me
