DR650 resources
Hello Ryan
like you, I have a DR - indeed I'm a great fan - love their simplicity
Here's a link to the DR650 wiki - http://dr650.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page - where you'll find much of the info you need
For budget conscious riders - Shinko have a strong following. Myself I currently run a Continental TKC80 on the front and a Mitas E07 on the rear. Mitas E07 are a tyre offering good longevity. Another front I've used and been pleased with is the Michelin MT21 'RallySport'.
I'm currently considering fitting a Heidenau Scout K60 to the front of my DR when the current TKC is finished.
Checking and as necessary adjusting valve clearance is not a complex job. My DR has done 43,000km and I've checked the clearances once - probably at sub 10000km and they were in spec so haven't checked them since.
Another good forum is DRRiders herehttp://drriders.com
