I’m 210lbs 6ft tall and most of my bike is stock I don’t understand the hate for the seat
What is name and brand on clutch oil ? My 2008 Kawasaki 1600 mean streak.
@@jiaocen7865 Just dot 4 brake fluid I use Castrol but anything dot 4 will do
@@MOTODANS thank you
One VERY important procedure not shown is to place the cylinder to top dead center on compression stroke. If not there is a good chance the cam, can jump a tooth or two when you remove the tensioner. Then you have to remove engine and retime each cam.
Thanks for the vid most helpfull
Thank you
I just checked and adjusted my valved, put everything together and noticed as i was riding down the road there's a tapping sound. I don't think I was on the right TDC when I adjusted, i'm scared i did some damage, but I plan on going back in and double checking everything.
Does it matter what lead goes to what plug?
No it doesn't, from memory the caps are slightly different which would only be an issue if you had a big tank it may contact. But as far as the operation of them they both fire at the same time so makes no difference
Thanks for video👍
I'm surprised.why does no one bother with the fact that by increasing the stroke of the tensioner you violate the calculation of chain tension.as a result, this leads to the fact that the chain begins to saw the wells of candles, until the oil goes! Don't do that. If the tensioner is over, you need to change the chain, not extend the tensioner!
You have the best description by far on how this is done. Very direct , simple . Thank you. Im doing mine today.
Could a new starter be installed the same way?
@@user-cs3ky8qq2f Sure can
WOW! That was a rough day! There's no way I'd try to go through some of that stuff you did. I'm sure you didn't get up that morning and say, "Hey, I think I'll ride my DR up and down IN the river!" That was some absolutely gorgeous scenery, though. I'm glad you didn't get injured and thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching Tony. It was a day to remember for sure
Great video brother.
Why mirror the video? I don't get it ! 😕
@@davebarrowcliffe1289 Camera was upside down to get it low enough. Which is why I had to flip it
Thank you.
So you had to fix your gearbox at 10000K! Wow. Mine has 20000. Should I worry ? Any signs indicating a problem ?
@ericcournoyer1595 just fit a magnetic drain plug and look for a circlip. It only seems to affect 16-17-18 models and more than likely most people miss the bit coming out if they don't have a magnet plug
@@MOTODANS Thanks for the reply
Hi, Just discovered your vids. They’re really great for maintenance tips on my R1150GS! I want to install a sat nav and led beams and saw this video on the PC8 to connect to. However I cannot find where to order one… do you know a proper replacement for it?
Hey Joe, Thanks for watching. You can still get the pc8 direct from eastern beaver. There are many alternatives though. Fz1 fuze block is a well known one
Thank you!
Did Suzuki ever do anything regarding the gear issues in the newer bikes?
@astonebrook91 only gear issues I am aware of are the 16 17 models with the circlip. Part was never superceeded so would have just been a bad batch. Earlier models are known for 3rd gear blow ups no new ones have this happen I am aware of.
Unfortunately, this is the wrong way to go - the timing chain has been undersized from the first model in '89 to the present day. The chain is getting longer and longer, so it only helps to lengthen the chain tensioner for a short time. I have had very good experiences with DID chains, they are better than original Kawasaki chains.
Have the Dunlop Version of these {Im sure Shinko copied the D750} that come on the KLR 650 and Im impressed. For the intended purpose of the bike they suite it very well. They respond well to psi changes on/offroad.
I Laddie you not be twisting.
Thank you for your video. I purchased a 2002 DR650 in April 2024 with 6150 km. Has the part you replaced been upgraded so that this is no longer a problem? Do you advise me to change it now before it breaks? Thank you. Alain from Canada
Hey Alain, this only tend to affect 2016/17 bikes to my knowledge. I would advise fitting a magnetic drain plug and just to be sure though
I could not agree more. I fell for the hype many years ago, tried 16t front sprockets on both a DR650SE and a Kawasaki KLR650C. The KLR got away slightly better but the large step between 1st and 2nd gear felt even bigger. The experience I had with the DR650SE was pretty much the same you mentioned. The bike felt anaemic, I had to take even more care not to let the revs drop and end up with the engine just yanking on the chain. Accelerating and overtaking between 90km/h and 120km/h the bike felt like it had a power restriction and would not do much unless geared down into 4th or even 3rd. Both the KL650C and DR650SE used more fuel with the 16t front sprockets.
Been a dream of mine to do the South Island on my Blackbird thanks for this much appreciated 🙏
Offroad: 14X42 or 43 Onroad: 15X38,39 or 40.
Thank you for your video. Are you doing all those miles on the original Suzuki seat? Thanks, Alain
Hey Alan, no I have a very comfy gel seat. Came on the bike when I bought it. I have done a few 600km days on a stock seat though
Great video! Changing mine for the first time. Really appreciate the explanation while you work.
Hey Dan - hope everything is going well for you and your family mate. Hopefully you’ll get an opportunity to upload some more content for us at some point. Cheers mate.
Hey Neville, yep all good. Just busy being a Dad. Yep have a load of stuff recorded just need time to sort it out. Cheers 🤞
@@MOTODANS - great to hear all going well mate and enjoy every second of being a Dad.
By 1150gs saved my life when I was taken out by a round hay bale dropped off the front of a tractor some way up the hill. I stayed in the gap between engine and panniers, resulting in minor damage to jacket (and shoulder), and scuffs elsewhere. Although slightly bent, it started first time, and I rode it home from Luxembourg to Bath, England. How many modern electrical gizmo loaded bikes will do that. My son recently took it to Switzerland, but they wanted it factory spec to be registered there. So I flew out and rode it back in a day. Didn’t miss a beat. Had a grin on all the way back. Love it, even if it makes no sense really to keep it.
Going through the same shock replacemnt right now for my 2002 Mean Streak. However, unrelated, I'm more curious what you are using here to record your 2-up audio while riding. Thanks.
I have a go pro with mic for myself and a secondary audio recorder for Danni, then just joined them in post
Mint mate, thanks
How have these stood up to the test of time?
Mint mate, thanks
Hi, Thank you for the videos on this build. I downloaded the template.. and printed it out on 13x19 paper. Are you sure the 205mm measurement is correct? It's absolutely massive and looks way bigger than the first part of your build video.
4 sale low kilometer lightly used DR. Some light scratches.
It's what the bike is intended to be used for
@@MOTODANS they as good as the old "E G" XT600
Hi dan, should the acr have play on the end of the cam, bike started makeing a small wear sound after the last ride, iv taken the valve cover off to inspect the head and i noticed the acr has alot of side to side play, is this normal or should i replace the exhaust cam.cheers
What is moving the actual pressed on part? There should be no play in that.
@MOTODANS the pressed on part is solid but the other bits attached to it have alot of play
@@tjroxs21 mine did have some play hard to say without comparing what would be excessive though
@MOTODANS thanks for the reply, looks like timing is out half a tooth this might be the noise I'm hearing, time to get a new timing chain 😅
Great Work! Thank you very much! Greetings from Germany
Dobra robota kolego
Great video. I am having same problem with my 03 RT1150. I will do this today. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! I know it's been many years, but just a heads up, in case anyone wants to do this mod. Regarding the material you used to fill the hole. If two different metals come in contact, and an electrically conductive medium contacts them, say salt water from a beach trip or road de-icing. One of the 2 metals will exhibition galvanic corrosion. Tin and steel have small difference in nobility, but steel will act as the anode. Which is the opposite of what you want. Its better to use the same metal or a more anodic metal to sacrifice itself to protect the frame.
Had mine 25 years and ridden her a lot over 2 continents. Will never sell her. Part of the family now. Had many bikes since but they've all gone and the GS still with me. She's been the only bike I always turn round, look at her and smile after a big ride.
Hi Dan. What did you use to clean it?
I just used kerosene on a brush. Brake cleaner would probably be better though
Aren't you supposed to compress the forks 4 times before you do the 4 pinch bolts to center the axle?
Hi! Is it a problem if the engine is still hot? Or better remove the tank with a cold engine? Thanks man!
Hey, no problem doing when hot just be careful about spilling the fuel when you take the lines off
@@MOTODANS Thanks man!! Btw, I like the video’s you’re doing, enjoy watching it every time! Peace
I never liked those big top heavy adventure bikes. I converted a Suzuki DR 2oo farm bike into an adventure bike. Lower lighter best offroad on road adventure bike I've ever had.
what size hose are u using for drainage?
5-6mm id
Thanks for the video! I’m UA-cam University my new 01. It’s been doing the same thing! Now I can fix it with blowing up my battery lmfao Now to go watch the battery video…
Just pulled my pump out of a 70k 1150gsa. the u line had a hole. All the others had disintegrated down to the braid. Ton of debris in tank. Thanks for the video. It showed me a bunch of helpful info..
Thanks for the video, hope you keep doing it more like this on the Blackbird!
Don't have many more to be honest. Recently sold the bike!
Pity, but any video like this is appreciated.
Helpful - thanks. Might've missed it, but how many miles do you ride between changes?
I do 5000 miles or 1 year at the moment it is every 1 year I do. Spec from bmw is 6000 miles or 1 year
@@MOTODANS thanks
