I heard a "friend of a friends, cousins, brothers etc etc" dr650 did its 3rd gear set here on the Kapiti coast recently, means nothing I guess unless we all known the year and ks...?

I thought 60 k was the designated self destruct point?!
Mines on 20k so still brand new! Err, well a little scuffed...

I’d say it’s out of it’s warrenty period, but I’m sure they’d sort him out a shiny new one for about 9k.

im sure nordie says the later ones have the third gear issue fixed...mines an '02 model with 42,000 kms on the clock so im sure mine will give me the good news sometime soon!

Its pretty much the same old gear pairing on the SE model,the reason I sent my complete 08 DR transmission to Nova Racing Transmissions in the UK so they could make the replacement billet 3rd gear set for it.
Given the price they sell for its a fairly expensive and labour intensive upgrade.

I have a set of new stock 3rd gears if anyone wants them,not really worried about selling them but can do someone a good deal on them.
Purchased prior to getting the billet set.
PS.
My stock 3rd gears looked to be in much better shape than the 5th gear set which had pronounced wear.
Picture DR6.

35k is low for NZ/US but still in the ballpark. Any lower and it'd be Australian...An 04 with 35,000 on it...

They changed it in 08 from what i have heard

A guy in Kapiti bought a DR and had his third gear crap out after 3k km. He loved the bike but was quickly over it after that. Not certain of the year but pretty sure it was later than 08

Yep, and they've broken too.They changed it in 08 from what i have heard
They just moved the engagement dogs around a couple of teeth so the edge of the dog didn't line up with a tooth valley. Didn't seem to help...

Paul Owen fluff piece on Stuff...

Ignore the spelling mistakes and mention of "cartridge forks", and it's an easy read...

Wonder if Suzuki and Kawasaki for that matter will try to keep producing an equivalent cheap euro4 compliant alternative. The KLR is aparrently a real cash cow for Kawasaki, so presumably the DR is as well.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
Forum whore
fluff piece is right, yawn yawn..he must of had that in the drawer for a rainy day, i remember when paul owen's idea of the ultimate ride was a cbr400 over takaka hill
