My K7 DR650 blew up at about 19000 but not the third gear thing, it did the bottom end, probably as a result of a kind of nasty crash that happened about 1000k earlier leaving me with a broken collar bone.

I think my last post on ADV Rider was in 2012 perhaps in part due to the DR650 third gear thread and some of posts from people who even admitted they were clueless beyond changing a spark plug but continued to spam it every time a new entry was made.
The bottom line remains and that is, it will never be normal for a gear to break into three pieces even if rare.
As it turns out I ended up buying a complete transmission from MRCycles plus the billet gears.
If I get another fifth gear pairing that means the old transmission with the new OEM third would be a spare or on sold.
My DR is most definitely a keeper after that outlay, I'm thinking another 60000 kms before any major work.

I have 2 dr650 bash plates left and one that I can sell as a second (so cheaper)
Once these are gone that will be the end of the dr bash plates for me Moving on to something else maybe KTM bash plates 😁
Contact me for all your Suzuki DRZ400 And Dr650 bash plate needs. Made to order
I'm on the bludge. The bike has arrived with a cracked headlight. I have been assured it passed a warrant previously with the cracks but I'm not too sure.
Anyone got a spare lurking they are prepared to sell me? With or without bulb.
Thanks

Got a spare headlight somewhere in the Emporium. Just need to check for cracks. Won't need it if I win that auction![]()

It's now hit $1000!
So someone complained about the auction and it was pulled...
When I was the high bidder too![]()
Thanks. PM me when/if you locate it and can bear to part with it.
Now, off to find a battery and a rear tyre.
Got this coming

so need to fabricate a little bracket holder and get a new number plate.
The bike has sat for almost 12 months in my son's shed and it started almost first pop with a jumper. Didn't even change the fuel.
