Dan - thanks for watching buddy - ya, I am very happy with the results. An Acerbis tank will happen eventually - Like yours, DOC, VW - etc. - But Suspension is next & I really like showing people how to accomplish a bummer of a task. Fails also LOL..... Cheers Mate !

Hi William - hope you and yours had a nice Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for watching a pretty boring video (again LOL) but it may help others accomplish this goal. My little boy Blake dumped the DR a couple of times while we were camping, but he is ok and that's all that matters. Cheers Mate !!!

OHHH DUDE!!! Heartbreak hotel! I was thinking yes ... yes ... it's going ... it's moving ... almost there .... NOOOO!!!😫😫 Heck of a try OW! I never thought it would lift the paint? Sorry brother, nice work on the touch up though. The Mighty DR650 now has its battle scars. Thank you for sharing.

VW - Ya, it was the decal that got me - then a small portion of the paint - If it was all paint & no decal - I "think" I would have been ok. Gonna try one more pull on the last little lower dimple & STAY AWAY FROM THE FUCKING DECAL !!!!! Still 100% better than it was - and for a Dirt Bike, I'm cool with a little touch up paint. Still very happy with the results !!!

Great vid. Really god job from this side of the camera. That little oops would have been all I needed to to sand her down get out the bondo and give the tank a wild new look. Love painting (airbrushing) tanks and fenders. So easy to do also.

You started turning the knob farther and quicker than you did on the previous times, even though you didn't ever do 1/8" turns.That might be why it took off the decal and paint. Before you were slow and 1/8" turns. Last one you turned it faster and 1/2" or more turns. Good video.

"PC" - Thanks for watching - Even though I have to do some "touch up" painting, I am very happy that that dent is gone. I'm gonna do one more pull on that last little - lower portion of the remainder of the dent - as long as I can stay away from the edge of the decal !!!!! Thanks for watching & cheers !!!! - BTW - What did you name "THE MIGHTY SUZUKI DR 650" ???? 😬 Mine is named "THOR"

WOW OBI! That system works quite well! It is actually cheaper than the cost of shipping my stock 2020 DR tank to you! Looks a heck of a lot better. I was wondering how it would affect the paint and stickers. Great video on how to fix trail damage! Cheers!

Thanks DOC - I'm gonna do one more pull - (while my phone charges) - and try to stay away from the decal, and get that last little lower "dimple" out - but that's it.

Stanley - Thanks for watching. I don't think it'll pull off paint by itself - however, the sticker started & took some of the paint with it LOL. My "little" boy dumped the bike while we were camping. Actually fell over to the right - but hit so hard - That dent was from his left knee HA HA - But he was fine & THE MIGHTY SUZUKI DR 650 was good to go !!!!! Cheers !

@igotakai5644 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for this, very helpful! Do you think there's anything that could have been done to prevent the removal of the decal/paint? I just bought a DR with ACERBIS tank installed and it also came with a dented OEM tank. Would like to make the OEM nice again but a bit worried now. Thanks!

Brother - No matter what you do, this is a possibility, however, I think if I would have backed off a little sooner, I would have been ok. I'm sure you've done a fair amount of research, but some guys do it from the inside out. I tried it various times with absolutely no luck. I know I'm not much help, but good luck !!!!

Should we empty the tank or can we just used it on a tank with full of fuel?

@pilotdane1 2 жыл бұрын

I did not empty my tank. If you leave fuel in there - do NOT use a heat gun, or hair dryer. The safest thing to do would be to empty the tank. Your call on that one - Hate to give advice on something like that because a ton of people say "use a hair dryer and get the metal warmed up before pulling out the dents." I found it made no difference.
