The DR650 thread

[NordieBoy]

Can anyone tell me what effect if the mesh screen in the air intake boot at the airbox is removed or left in. I have a TM40, K&N filter and opened top airbox. Also a GSXR muffler/STD header. Will removing the mesh screen make any noticeable difference? Cheers.

No difference on the dyno at all.

Hi can someone please refresh my memory
Is it the GN250 centerstand that works on a lowered DR?
Much work involved in fitting?

Well, now I've been on the Transalp for another year and the DR has sat in my garage REG on hold for that time, I'm thinking of selling the DR650.
Just saying in case anyone is looking while I consider my options some more.
Has had bottom end rebuilt almost a couple of years ago costing me about $3500 and has second set of rims among other extras.
I just know someone's going to ask how much I want but I'm a bit unsure so far as I am also unsure whether to sell with the IMS tank or sell the tank to another mate who's shopping for a tank now.
Maybe it will be worth more when the LAMS thing for licencing kicks in later in the year.

Would be interested in spare rims if you were selling seperate.

I may have a set of wheels for sale too.
The DR doesn't need spikey feet anymore, if the Shinko 705's can't handle the situation, I'll be on the TT350. Probably on 705's on that too

Maybe interested. Price ? Come with front disk .... No rush, just on the wish list.

I should be focused on getting my suspension sorted. All stock still. Another Procycle order required. Anyone bought a complete Ricor Shock

Marks is using one on the KLR and seems to like it.

I think it'd work well in conjunction with an Intiminatored front end.

Have orderd some heavier springs front and back and see how that goes. Cant justify the cost of a Ricor Shock for what I use my bike for.

Bung a dose of 10w oil in the back end then, otherwise the spring will totally overpower the damping.

Took Nordieboys advise and ordered a set of Ricor Intiminators from ProCycles yesterday.
Will try them with the stock springs.
