    Thumbs up DR 650 wiki

    hi - as I prepare to pick up a, new to me, DR650 this weekend I came across this link - A wiki resource for DR650 enthusiasts - of which there are a number on this site.


    Hope others find it useful - cheers Aslan

    Keep an eye out for wandering bus shelters.
    Congrats ! We'll see you on the HBAR for a test-ride then ?

    hi Tony - you know the story what goes on tour stays on tour (the bus shelter incident that is)


    And yep I'm certainly looking at your ride with interest - have floated the idea (of a leave pass) with 'her indoors'

    Hi Aslan

    After riding the 42nd the week after you lot I've decided to upgrade my 250 to a DRZ400. Hopefully we'll catch up with you on a ride somewhere. I'm also intending to go back and spend some more time in that area.

    Cheers - Des

    Hi Des - yes the DRZ's are great fun machines - MotoXNUT and TonyW had huge grins on their faces on the TTTTT.

    Likewise, if you need a pick up from the airport in auckland & lift to the new bike let me know. I can't offer to ride back down to Raglan with you, a little too busy at work at the moment. Bugger!

    Congratulations

    Let me know when you want to test it out on the Mugatooks to Karapoti run

    I presume you sold the DR350?

    Definatly check out the problems page. The neutral sender unit screws loosen and the upper chain roller has gone bye bye on almost all DR650 I've seen. You new bike being a 07 should have none of the other issues.

    Thumbs up KB fraternity

    thanks Bass, Crisis & Young1 for offers of help / accom. Fantastic. Vendor is meeting me at AKL airport.

    Young1 aka Mike - staying with you (which gets me closer to Wellywood for a Sun AM off) is attractive - I'll reach you directly.

    Ryan - thanks for the advice around the known issues.

    MarkS - keen to ride the Akatarawa's with you - prolly need to fit more agressive tyres eg D606's - however it will be my daily commuter as well.

    Yes the DR350 went about a month ago - great bike - a little small physically for me and luggage on longer trips.

    Cheers all - Aslan aka Stephen O
