There is a saying that goes something like, "the only thing worse than not knowing something is knowing a little bit". This can lead to disaster or in a lot of cases, it can start you on a path of learning and experience. I've spent my life learning from others and taking an interest in just about anything you can do with your hands.
On this channel we will spend time "tinkering" in and around the tool shed on things that interest me, my friends and family. Along the way Ill do my best to pass on any knowledge I have on the subjects of the day and hopefully become a resource for you the people in your life.
I look forward to spending some time together in; the tinker shed.

Is the DR650 a GOAT contender?
In this video I will give my opinion on why I think the DR650 could still be the Greatest small displacement adventure bike you can buy (at least until it is phased out).
I also have a surprise at the end if you follow @Willi456 .

Dino u are a beast. I want more riding videos!
Mines a 2006 and I can’t find a replacement bike other than just buying a brand new DR650 and doing all of the same suspension and gas tank modifications to it. KTM has a better bike with the 690 but why invite the reliability problems I keep asking myself.
I wouldn't trade my DR for any other bike made!
loved sharing your adventure !
hey dino, thanks again for your dr650 info. setting my valves this morning and this video is great, very helpful with easy to follow instruction. i love working on my bikes when there are vids like this to help out. from nz and the rest of our beautiful planet, thanks mr dino.
I regret selling my dr650. I bought a 2013 650 husky/bmw rotax model. Im having fuel injection/spark problems and cant do shim valve checks. I recently road the dr I sold and it will smoke the husky. Im doing back to the dr asap, but going to put the $$ into the suspension upgrades. nice vid, dino and thanks for setting us straight
Hey Dino! That was an adventure alright! You scared us riding into that time portal🤣🤯. The DR is amazing bike, so sad we only have the old ones over here. Would be nice if they would revive it over in Europe😁
Take her up some single track no problem
Hey. I know it was awhile back but you did a clutch rebuild kit video on your skidoo. I’m looking to do it on mine but having a hard time finding a kit. I have a 2007 skidoo 800 ho ptek. Thank you for any advice.
Great video Dino! What kind of tires are on that bike?
Right on man! Super impressive!
Dino , have had both acerbis tanks and out of the two the 20 litre is the best option for the Country i live in ( New Zealand ) as it covers most off road adventures easily, cheers, thanks for the fitting video, very useful 🎉.
Right on man! I appreciate your videos! Thank you very much from Florida.
I appreciate your videos. These are certainly helpful.
Thank you
@@stevepaskin2863 your welcome Dino
2:35 how did you get that shot? Impressive
@radam7496 Thanks for the question, I use an Insta360 camera. It films every direction at once and you can choose you framing and panning later at the computer.
Good refresher. Haven't used my grease gun since I had a few old cars in the '80s & '90s. Bought an old project car now and will need to occasionally use it again. Honestly, not sure I really knew how to correctly load it and get air out back then...
Another great video Dino - looking forward to part 2! Who knew you had pull with Scotty and his transporter!
Nail on the head Dino. Great vid. You've done well.
Just bought one, thanks Dino!
When this baby hits 8.8 miles an hour you’re going to see some serious shyt!
@@frooke2 lol best comment for sure. 😄
I'll spell it out. You don't have to sell a kidney to buy 1. Parts are cheap and accessible . They are easy to fix and don't have all that tech rubbish that breaks down. Which leads me to the last , very dependable.
@aussiefarmer8741 you are so very right, also the bike is not impossible for the average person to fix themselves, great bike. Thanks for the input. Dino
Great video Dino - thank you very much
@@maxwatchm your welcome. Dino
Dino, you look good ... don't get me wrong, you're not 'good looking'!
cool vid...the dealers in eastern Canada are offering it for 7000.00 plus tax all in ...with a 3 year warranty. Gino...putting a build this winter on a new dr...the 22 KLR was getting 2 heavy for me.....any update on your tower....maybe even getting a copy of drawings....let me know? thanks. Garth
Well said Dino and I'll add " Team Suzuki has forgotten more about motorcycles than most will ever know " !😁👍 No might or maybe about it the DR Six Five Zero is the greatest enduro ever built ....
@cranerigging3604 thanks you for the comment and feedback. The dr rocks for sure but that PE of yours is very nice as well. Di o
@@DinosTinkerShed Thank you Dino as I love both those bikes plus the RM 250 .... That Dr 650 has simply stood the test of time from a marketing standpoint and Suzuki knocked the ball clear out of the park when they introduced it and still selling it today . Can you folks still order a DR650 up in Canada ?
@cranerigging3604 oh ya you can still pick up a dealer fresh dr up here, not sure how much longer but if Suzuki keeps building them we will buy them.
Canam Missing Project talks about portals all the time...seems you found one lol
This is great... dont you dare take another 6 weeks !

It’s the GOAT. What other 30 year old bike is still selling new units on dealer lots?
@@RidinDirty86 yes, yes, yes. Well said. Thanks for the comment Dino
Tomorrow I'm going to take mine on a 500 mile day, when your out of town on the open road in big sky country it is like nothing else. Good bike it just takes a while to sort them out.
@@jackheinemann1994 well said, I think it's a bike you build not one you buy
You never know what might happen on a simple ride.

i got the same rack from aliexpress, it was even cheaper then amazon, easy install on my 2024 DR650, thanks for the great video!
I've had this lock for over a year. It was going off all the time and a neighbour complained so I took out the batteries. It still works well as a lock and provides me some peace of mind. Like Dino said, nothing is infallable but the more layers of inconvenience you add for a thief the more likely they will move on to another bike to steal.
Great video! Didn't know the pigtail product existed. exactly what i need. Regarding the flasher, there is an alternative flasher from ProCycle that fits the rubber mount on my 2007 perfectly and flashes at the perfect speed. but it's not adjustable like the one you got.
Excellent review! Thank you Dino. I've been wearing mine for two years and am very pleased.
