There should be an o-ring behind the oil filter. I had to go back and put it in there once I saw I missed it editing the video.

Nicely done no bullshit no making coffee no patting your dog no crazy edits just straight up fix it there is quite a bit of work there and you made look easy and no stress cheers

Thanks much for showing us the rebuild on this engine.

Loving this rebuild series so far, learned a ton of valuable information - thx

Nice craftmanship

Excellent video. Appreciate you taking the time to make this!

The best DR assembly video I’ve seen. Thanks!!

All time best vid I’ve ever watched on any rebuild. It’ll come in really handy for me because my brother just bought a ‘19 and everything he owns he blows up.

Another great video. I like the fact that you don't have endless footage of pointless crap but just show the relevant stuff. Attention to detail is really good as is your narration. It's been interesting to see inside the heart of my beast. Thank you and subbed.

Excellent video, very clear, nice camera angles. Thanks for posting this up!

This video has been so valuable to me. Thanks for putting it together.

Thank you so much for this video, my DR has been down for years for me to get the time to tear it down to replace the motor cases, you just answered a lot of questions for me. (oh yeah, just subbed.)

Thanks for taking the time to make this edit. Nice work!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, very well done I have tried to record some of my repairs and they are not ready for public viewing it is a lot harder than you make it look, Lol, you have saved a very nice DR. ; )

Wow, this is a reference video. It's super interesting. I learn a lot from this video. You are really clever at putting all this together. Well done. Thank you so much.

Outstanding video! Thanks for putting that out there!

Awesome video. Very informative and detailed. Thank you for posting and sharing

Fantastic work man thanks.

Great video, thanks for posting it up.

Looking forward to hearing it run. Really interesting series. You are a damn good mechanic but you also show it isn't magic.

Super vidéo, bravo !

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Very interestiing page ☺️☺️☺️

Freezing bearings makes it far easier to get them out of cases. For outer bearings on shaft warming bearings and cold shaft will help. Steering head bearing fitting is easier if you freeze bearing first in freezer. Heating up engine cases in oven helps when assembly. Its common sense. Lighter gas will freeze stuff too but dont smoke or have flame or heat around and open door and window so it doesnt explode! 😂

Penny makes a great gear jammer.

Thank you

Clever you 😎

Do I have to wait a bit before tightening the valve cover gasket. Thanks for your video. Alain

La verdad que anque hablado en inglés lo disfruté...me parece un hermoso motor, sencillo, sólido, de la vieja escuela, de esos que se contruían para durar toda la vida... Si algún día tuviera el capital y la oportunidad me haría de una DR650...

Thanks for your video. I am using your video to reassemble the top of the engine because I had a leak at the base of the cylinder. - Can I use copper grease for the 4 cylinder tightening bolts? - Do you recommend using the original Suzuki gasket kit? Thank you

Lifesaver video - what did you use between the cases as a gasket? Thanks man!

You are saying you put the concave side out of the clutch hub washer but this looks like the convex side is out.

New subscriptor.. Gracias!!👍👋🥂🎄🇦🇷🇪🇦🎆

I’m going to need to do this. What engine stand is that, and would you recommend it or does it have some serious flaws?

I'm on my 3rd DR50 motor rebuild and the top of the stock piston was in rough shape so I decided to go with a JE 10.5:1 piston but it feels pretty tight in the cylinder. Stock will slide in and fall all the way down un-assisted but the JE stops about 2-3 inches in. It will go all the way down with a little pressure but worried it will seize once it expands under operation temps. I made sure the piston was oriented correctly before checking. Do you recall anything similar? Thanks!

Thanks for this video! Great notes giving during the assembly as well...I've got 50k on my DR650...always been super dilligent about oil level and changes (synthetic always) how long do you think I'll be able to go before I need a rebuild. engine sounds clean and never smokes or burns oil.

Can you name the exactly model of this bike? It is not a SP45 right? Very good Video!! Thank you Greetings from Germany

Awesome, thanks! Can't wait to start putting mine back together. Is the thrust washer that goes under the clutch basket sleeve bushing about 1/8" thick? I got this spare motor (in pieces) with the DR I purchased so I didn't see it come apart. Also, aside from the weight is there a reason you didn't fully build motor before installing it into the frame?

hello, tell me what the compression should be in this motor?, thanks

ciao sono italiano. mi puoi dire i valori del serraggio bulloni 🔩 testata per la chiave dinamometrica ? sono uguali al dr 600 ?

Where you got a new cylinder head bolt that has been broken? Did you buy a random one same size or made from exact specifications metals? Because as I think You still had to drill it and make another one, new thread for that bolt

Hello, on 7:39 you install the shaft bearing retainer. I haven't this part on my bike and i have oil leak. I did some research and i can't find this part on suzuki oem spare parts. Could you help me to find it ? Thanks

What the name of the blue tool at 13:26 ?

I want the complete engine to Nigeria how can I get it

for you ... is it possible to replace the valve seals without disassembling the cylinder head?

What's the purpose of the plastic cap for the camshaft? why did they make a hole for a cap in the metal? also what direction should it go? it's not symmetric on its inner side.

COST REBUILD?

Does anyone by chance know the correct order for the head cover bolts? I’m told the service manual has them wrong.

Hey, at 24:07 is that a fully metal head gasket or a fiber/metal combo? The kit I ordered has the combo head gasket but came with the OEM all metal base gasket. Thanks!

I'm stumped! Just put the last bearing in and installed transmission, crank and balancer with dots in alignment. I operated the crank by hand via piston arm, felt some resistance and I'm getting a low whirring/buzzing noise. Sounds like it's between the balancer gear on the crankshaft and the case or bearing. Definitely didn't sound like that prior to teardown. Am I missing a washer or is the crank too close to the bearing or something? I didn't take crank or balancer apart. I'm afraid to close cases until that's solved. Thanks!

sorry if I disturb you ... but before reassembling the cylinder head, is it necessary, is it mandatory to rectify it?

Hello. can you tell me the values ​​for the tightening of the bolts 🔩, for the torque wrench? the values ​​are the same also for the suzuki dr 600?

I am currently having trouble getting the sprocket and chain back on the camshaft. It is like someone stole a link from the chain when I wasn't looking. I took the clutch cover off to make sure that the chain wasn't kinked or anything but I just can't get the sprocket back on with the chain on it. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Which state are you in? Pro job. My trusty DR has 54K so I'm gonna need to do a rebuild at some point.

How did you learn all of this? Did you go to mmi?

dr 600.. dr 650, there is many difference?
