Thanks so much for doing these Dino. You’re helping the next generation immensely! I just changed the starter using your video, and am watching this series to hopefully finally get insight into how vehicle electrical systems work. You are a great presenter and I really appreciate your work! Thank you!!

would happily pay for the files

I did away with those 5 large JIS screws (side panels, headlight fairing) and replaced them with stainless steel allen button head screws from the hardware store. No more JIS screw driver. I'll send them back to Japan.

Be careful if you're driving on HWY 129 at night. I came within a whisker of hitting a moose at 60 mph right in the middle of the highway just after dark. I was driving a Honda.....but even that wouldn't have saved me. How much less if you're on a bike.

NH resident here. Did the Auto Road on my KLR650 earlier this summer. It feels so much steeper in person, especially when yoy have wind blowing you around 😂

Hello, can someone tell me where the 2 pipe he disconect at 6:07 goes please ? thx

Found out that my jacket wasn't waterproof. I got drenched.

I always wonder why people use an air hose to try and clean out the tank, which just blows the dirt around instead of using a shop vacuum and get it out clean.

Thank you for your info. I will check mine.

Hi Dino, the casket infront of the screw on the camshaft tensioner - do you have the parts number for that casket?

Dino you seemed like the man to ask I acquired a put up wet 05 no start only crank Ignition gone with 100 ohm 5% tolerance 1/4 watt carbon film resistor o/y b/w(striped) ignition wires switch on orange red I swapped the green blue wires on cdi / pick up coil but might have made bad connection by swapping gonna try to reconnect/ new plug soon Bike cranks no spark ..newer stator/ pick up / coil and cdi🔬 🤞🏻 🏍 🔥 thanks again will keep you posted not gonna buy cdi lol Hope your summer 🎸

Hi Dino, have just purchased a DR 650 and watch most of your videos. They are extremely helpful and your delivery is great. You must be a teacher? If not you should be. Have a query I’m hoping you can help with. With the bike on a stand and the bike in neutral, if I turn the back wheel in a forward direction there’s a knocking noise from the counter shaft/ front sprocket no knocking if I turn the wheel backward or if I put it in gear pull the clutch in and turn the wheel. Any ideas? Thanks in advance and thanks for the great videos. Harry

Thanks for getting up their!

I like videos like this. I would love to see one with your favourite products for a cleaning for cleaning, brakes and tires that sort of thing that would be a good one too.

Great video, thank you Dino 👍

It's a lot less fun when the pod is damaged/not the wiring harness - that hot wire is crimper onto that end contact pin like a bugger!😢 fighting with 1 now

I would love to get the files for this, your dr content has been a wealth of knowledge for me, i just got my first dr 2 weeks ago!

Any thoughts on the dr650 transmission issues? 3rd gear wrecking the engine, etc... I have 2021 model and hoping Suzuki had a fix for it.

Wo gibt es die Sicherungsplatte zu kkaufen ?

Other then costly I see Safari makes a Suzuki DR650 Tank Fairing to go with that fuel tank. Cool video. Thanks for sharing!

Dino. Great video, but you skipped over the removal of the clutch basket. This is needed to get to the NSU screws. Could you add this segment to your video? Thx.

I've returned three jackets to them in past two weeks for all sorts of different manufacturing issues. Reinforcement around the zippers are nearly non-exist on the interior, found just a lot of misfires from their sewing machines and all have the armor padding was total garbage. Hell one of the pads I pulled out was starting to decay. Top it all off their sizing chart is way off so the first jacket I got was too big and also had a bunch of stitchings that was coming undone. I've wasted enough time with HWK so I'm spending the extra money and getting some better gear.

You knocked it out of the park again Dino! Those are great tips. I know this sounds dumb, but I have a hard time getting my air filter mounted correctly after cleaning, any tips on that?

hi again Dino, yet another video full of great information and good sense. Thank you for this 🙏 Was able to make a ton of mods with only a handful of tools you recommended, ranging from bar risers, footpeg lowering, bark busters, adjustable clutch & brake levers, mirrors, led headbulb, some crash bars, axle sliders, pro cycle seat and cover, etc. Next up carbie jet kit and tuning after the break in, and I've enjoyed your videos on those as well ❤ Quick question though, what sort of "toolbox" did you replace the standard black plastic one with? I'm asking because yours seems more spacious, and I'm interested because it would have enough space for my ratchet and a more robust selection of tools than what the standard tube fits. Either way, your videos are great and love the production value as well 🙌

Sorry the brand is Kluny - darn that spell check 😢👌

I use Klimt work suspenders with my pants, through Amazon👍 ( the clip type) does a great job😎👌

Hey Dino! I'm totally down to contribute to you via a Patreon type account! You've done a lot of hard work to make these videos and they are super helpful.

Awesome video.

I bought the Parabellum and the wind "turbulence" is awful. I drilled 2 holes in windshield to not make it so upright. That helped quite a bit. As other comments stated, the Parabellum gave me a headache as my head vibrated in the turbulence. FYI, I'm 6 feet tall. The little stock windscreen deflected all the bugs right to my throat area. That's why I need a different wind shield. Looking at the Madstad. It's adjustable, but also pricey.

Great video, Just a comment My 2001 Suzuki SV650S that I have owned for 23 years had a RR problem. I was cheap and bought a $23 aftermarket one. The aftermarket one gave me problems not because the diodes in it were bad, but because the spade connectors in it were thin and flimsy and didn’t make could connection with the stator wire side. In the last few years, most of the electrical problems I had on my very reliable Japanese bikes were from bad connection and not a bad component. I think this is very important to iterate.

Great video brother, the mirror extenders are real slick.

I never do a complete wash of my DR650, I just knock the crusty dirt off as needed. That I hardly ever get it muddy may say something about my riding style. If I get caught in the rain on the way home I will fog the whole bike with WD40. It just takes a couple minutes before the next ride to wipe excess WD40 away(the rest burns off). Of course the brakes get the Brake Cleaner treatment. Coming up on 20years DR650 ownership. What rust? I don't see any rust. The square air box nuts eventually became an issue. I deleted them. Drilled holes in the appropriate locations and now use zip ties to secure the lid. I know that's not for everyone.

Hopefully Dino can start selling a finished product, I’d buy one

Great video. Thank you for putting this together. Excited to watch the 4 other episodes.

Dino, the number one tip I want to know is how you are transforming! So happy to see you happy and healthy. I need your tips and hope to follow in your footsteps

Thank you!!!

I want to thank you, Dino! I had received a DR last year, that sat for about 10 years. I watched some of your videos 5+ times over the last year while I slowly brought the bike back to life. I finally have the bike back on the road and it has been great to ride around. Thanks!

Got another tip for you Dino. Change the side panel and seat screws to thumb screws for tool-less and quick removal. I used low strength Loc-tite to keep them secure while still being able to loosen them by hand. Had to remove some material off of the seat thumb screw but the tight fit also helps keep them secure.

Super cool video! I'll be looking forward to the series and all your viewers great and useful tips! Thanks for sharing Dino!!

I am going to buy an uni secondary filter. What size tip did you get? There are a few options. Maybe a 3/8”??

Hi there Dino, Good job, How much of the screen sit above the head light cowl in millimeters ?

Thank you for valuable information. Helped my friend to clean his DR650 carburator.

Distinct language and super helpful to home mechanics and fixes to this great bike.

I put a couple of in expensive piezo alarms owired into my indicators so I have an audio as well as a visual reminder that the indicators are on But your have to wire them in for 1 per indicator as one has to be as a reverse polarity as they all share a common ground

I JB welded my air filter cover nuts in

Hey mate tip #4 is a great one and it’s suggested in the Clymer DR 650 manual as well

Hi Dino! Cool video concept. Always nice to wake up to a video of you. Cheers from Romania 🤫🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️🐿️

Good tips there Dino, will silicone the aircleaner nuts in.

A dab of silicon is also great to keep the little gas tank pucks in place. Those things seem to evaporate into thin air when you take the tank off😂
