Nothing good came of replacing a perfectly good quality well manufactured cam from quality materials heat treated correctly with some fucking crappy aftermarket piece of dog shit made out of cheese

Love the ability to live vicariously through others. Love these travel videos! Best wishes!

I like the camp set up. I noticed what seems to be a Have A Heart trap beside your TP/tent? I honestly get tired of seeing all the brand new camping gear on some of these U Tubers videos. I prefer to learn from experience instead of shining marketing hype. I have yet to see someone mention the R -value of a tanned animal skin in the winter.

Great to see your journey and glad it’s going well. Question. Would you consider doing a gear breakdown video? Interested in what you travel with and why, or why not. That is is Izzy will give you permission!

Trip of a lifetime....ride safe.

I may go to deport for winter just to get up my red clay driveway in the wet! No fun on a more street oriented tire.

Nice place. I have plans for the same on a small scale.

I'ma new subscriber. You seem very knowledgeable. What are your thoughts on the 790 mod?

Great video buddy, have you ever thought about investing in a Eastbound Moto winch? Now some of us are no longer 25 (unfortunately) it is a reassuring back up plan for a drop when you are on your own. Worst case it takes 5 mins to get a bike up on your own. No I don't work for them! In fact I asked them for the UK rights to sell but they only supply direct. Check them out at Eastbound Motowinch. Love from England mate!

Such a great review, the 2010 DR650 does not have a rev counter so how does one work out the rpm?

Thanks. One advantage to riding on windy days is the bugs are grounded.

14 tooth is what I run also , never an issue.

Excellent. In 50 plus years of riding I’ve never put that much thought into wind. Now I need to go find some and experiment, lol.

Ride On! Thanks Steve. Appreciate the Vid. 👍🏼

Thank you very much for the explanation

Good information, thank you.

I mostly agree with you philosophy on tires. One thing I do is run a front tire that is one step more towards the dirt side than the rear. If you can find a deal on another set of wheels that can give you more options as well. I have two rears and three fronts for my DR.

You sir are a legend Im getting a dreamcatcher for my himalayan tomorrow, maybe the cam and sprocket too, but dreamcatcher first. Thanks to both of you from new zealand

I found if you loosen just loosen,the bolts on the mounting of the battery box it flexes a bit and is easier to maneuver going in /out with battery

Are you still riding the Suzuki DR 650?

I have my second DR-650 and it’s very reliable bike. I’ve taken my bike on trails, some mud water holes and this bikes passed these with out no issues.

I just bought my DR650 in March 2024. This is a 2002. I'm going to try the 14 teeth. Indeed, I find that in first gear it goes too fast. Thank for your video.

This seems like a quiet place. Thanks for sharing.

Steve, I'm sure that if Izzy had a choice and was party to any discussion, she'd clearly choose to do exactly what she is doing now. A dog just wants to be involved and part of the fun. I don't believe you've to justify your decisions at all, though it was vaguely insightful into some aspects of your past. The non- judgmental and loving nature of a dog is at the core of our coexistence with these canines.

Thanks for taking us along....looks like a peaceful place.

Hey Steve, I've been enjoying your DR video. There is no substitute for experience, and I appreciate the valuable info. Which other fuel tank/ size did you think may be better? Safe travels!

Look like camp behind General Patton Museum, great place for an overnighter.

Thanks for the excellent review. Just bought my third DR!

hello friend, 2022 klr650 rider here, but damn this is one of the best reviews I have seen, thanks!!!!

23:08 "no use in arguing over opinion with experience an MATH!!" Love it..yep agree an great review!!!

Good content on a great bike. All I would add is leave the clutch bracket a little loose and it will just move if you drop it Good stuff.

Thank you for the great info.

Hey young man, 😂A 14 tooth front sprocket makes a lot of sense! Less slipping the clutch in first gear, is worth adding a few extra top end RPM's. Thanks for the dose of wisdom; hope it quells some of the know it all's!

yep i went to a 14 on mine ez er to putt slow

Great video. I'm 62 now and been living this life for 6 years in South America crossing borders every 90 days. Don't get hung up on the gear. I started off with just a 50-litre backpack and bought a used Yamaha YB125 in Peru, already geared up because the Russian guy and his wife were going home. I basically took his gear, helmet and keys and carried on from where he left off. The bike is still going strong and has 106000km on it now. It's not perfect - a little underpowered in the mountains and slow on the autopistas but it's easy to pick up, even fully loaded. Yamaha is pretty well supported, which is a consideration for extended adventure. For that reason I would not own a MotoGuzzi or Aprilia for this journey - I'd feel better on a Chinese 200, even though they break more, parts and service are abundant all over Latin America. S outh America is way cheap and my daily budget is $10. As much as I like the idea of hammock camping, I prefer a tent for the interior space it gives me free of mosquitos. I got flooded out once in a flash storm in Argentina sometimes even the rises you find in campsites aren't tall enough to protect from tropical downpours. Clothes: My winter clothes take up most room and hardly get worn. For crossing the Andes in Winter, I wore everything I had and it did a good job. think layers, you can make more use of them in the other seasons. A down jacket is just taking up space and you'll find it contaminated with something when you need it. Carrying oils and sauces is a disaster in your bags waiting to happen. transfer any essential liquids into used soda bottles. Coca Cola are masters of secure bottle caps. A lot of Camping Municipals are free here, and bathrooms are rustic (if functional). Rule of thumb: The bigger the towns, the more risk of trouble. I stay as far away as possible and into the countryside. Haven't had any problems and the people tend to be friendlier. What else... Learn how to take your wheels on and off and which bits go where. Learn how to remove tyres and change tubes. If you don't learn before you go you'll be learning in the middle of nowhere dropping stuff in the dirt. Take a bicycle tyre pump - they are compact and might be your only option of getting air in a tyre to get you out of trouble. That's been a lifesaver for me. Even if you have tubeless tyres, take a tube as a backup as you may not be able to reseat the tyre Another good idea would be to take one of those Lifestraw-type water filters. you can top up your bottles from natural water sources. Fuel: I don't bother carrying a fuel can backup unless I see a long leg between stations and then I fill up a 5 litre water bottle from my fuelcock and put it in a cardboard box strapped to the back of the bike. Fill up my tank and set off. At camp, I refill and use the cardboard box to start a campfire then burn the bottle and any trash I find littering my pitch.

Just bougt one from 91😅

I agree with your 14 vs 15 tooth sprocket preference. You can't change a persons preference on big boobs or small boobs. I myself enjoy all boobs. Enjoy "Your" ride. Thanks Steve.

Hey man Good advices from an old dude! I am 59 and i am going for an around Africa Trip, if i am retired. I also Look for teneres, Africa Twins , GSs, and the new Himi of course. Its not the Bike, that make it expensive. Its the mods u defnetly need for those kinda Trips. U never ever reach the goal with an Stock bike. So ur Tenere, Africa Twin or whatever costs 5 to 60000 Bucks MORE than Stock! In the end, there was a choice on a very few Bikes. All of them r old and simple. Guess what. I am running for a completly modded or Stock DR 650 in already Mint Condition. There r many of them to buy. So that Bike costs me including all mods, which includes Garmin and a Drone 10k Bucks. For 10k Bucks u get only maybe 75% of a Stock bike or a plastictoy with 30HP like the CRF300Rally. And the big good guys r to heavy. Tenere for example has a weight of 230kg. Way way too much. The DR has an fighting weight of around 170kg. 60!!!! Kg less to Lift offroad or if u drop it. Have u ever Lift an Sack of Cement? And the engine is bulletproof with 50HP.

when say to "safety", are you referring to a better dirt/offroad capability, or on road, or both? I know the weight is comparably light to other bike. thanks, great review, I want a DR! 😊
