The DR650 thread

Wrap some shim material (beer can) around the shaft and bung it back in...

ahh, was trying to think what I might use to pad the pivot hole in the frame, I was thinking plastics but pity I don't drink beer... Oh I know, it'll be real sharp when I'm done... a Lift Plus can!

So has anyone ever had one of the Suzuki gel seats you can buy off ebay?

Apart from the fact they are more uncomfortable than the stocker and really really hold the heat in summer?

Now you tell me!!!

Now now, I had posted something way back in an archive here or on ADVRider. This forum, DR650 Thread plus the ADVrider forum are a wealth (minefield) of info.

The Oxfords I had had done about 5,000 kms I think so they were entitled to a bit of wear. Not sure how often you change your grips but any off will probably chew them a bit, unless you have barkbusters.

Just enjoy the warm fingers feeling

So I will not be buying a gel seat then, they looked like a good idea being lower & with being a short ass, I was hoping not to lower the bike.

Also easy to do. Search the forum, 20 minute job from what I read.

Haha I think the RM400 still has my paddock fix on its pipe from the last years final
The DR is too much fun
BRR ride on the 25th too
I managed to track down a 16t 520 sprocket but having no luck finding a 14 in NZ
If anyone is doing any shopping at Procycle I'd be keen if they could get one in their order for me?

Got a 14 here you could have. I prefer the 15 and 16 at the moment and won't need a 14 'till the Dusty Butt as the TT350 is doing the gnarlier stuff.

Can anyone explain how much of a difference grinding that weld out of the header makes? Ta.

Bugger all, but it makes you feel much better knowing it's gone.
