    i just fill it up and its nearly emty at end of day,
    i guess i did around 50L fuel to close to 800kms.
    not sure if thats good or bad......
    16klms a litre i would think that would be average for the 650 but if youv'e done the jets and associated mods that sounds about right.

    no mods, just stock.
    will see how we go tomorrow, should clock up around
    450kms for the day.
    will record the liters put in, and set trip counter from gas station.

    I guess it will get a workout in the Wairarapa tomorrow - hmm Trailwings on both wheels, wonder how they're gonna go; could be interesting?

    And no sump guard!

    Still the Cycleworks pipe sounds nice!
    SUMP GUARD WOULD HAVE BEEN HANDY TODAY!!!!!!!

    I'm sure pics will be arriving this evening on the thread for todays ride round Ngawi!
    Cheers, Dave

    will find out next month on the KCR.
    but i will be putting the 15 tooth on front to travel up north. so that will make a difference.

    Talking off topic - engine sprocket

    Hi - anyone else experiencing their engine sprocket wearing a lot quicker than the rear?

    My set up is 14/43 (fitted 14 engine sprocket around 2.5k) at 9k despite Scott Olier and chain maintaining its adjustment - engine sprocket is hooked (read needing replacement along with rear sprocket and chain)


    thanks in advance - cheers Aslan

    Thats normal. Theres only 1/3 of the teeth taking the same load so you would expect to replace 3 front sprockets to 1 rear. Dont let the front get too worn or it will wear the chain prematurely

    What brand 14t?
    MY PBR died in 8000km and the JT lasted over 3 times as long.

    Different material and hardening on the front sprockets too.

    I swap between a 14 and 15 on the front and it's extended the chain life a bit.

    I was surprised y'day at just how tall 1st gear is with the 15T after what I have been used to and no engine braking to speak of too! I'm seriously considering going down to a 14T after yesterdays outing!

    When you went 15T stock down to the 14T, how much do you think your top end speed changed? Any noticeable difference for you when cruising at motorway speeds 100-110kph?
    Cheers, Dave

    re the engine braking - your bike seemed slow to return to idle which makes downhill engine braking worse. Is there some 'emissions' slow return to idle on a dr650 or am I just used to the whiplash fast response of a klr??

    also yesterday was my first ride going from a stock 15T to a 16T. What a great difference on road 4000=100kph 5000=120kph and it didnt seem any worse off road (rekluse clutch hides this by slipping)

    Don't know mate but the KLX was same as KLR, wicked return to idle and excellent engine braking; maybe difference Kwaka vs Suzi?????
