Well done on a tricky subject that has most people running in fear. Especially tackling the dielectric grease debate which you nailed! Food for thought on low resistance readings, zero your leads first. Take a reading when shorting the leads and subtract that from the actual reading. Some meters have a 'Zero' or 'Rel' function that will do that for you. Most multi-meters suck at low resistance readings so you need all the help you can get. Cheers from Sussex NB!
Thank you for the great comment and information. I'll see if my meter has the zero function before the next instalment. Thanks again for this comment and all the past great info you have shared. Dino
Great info. Thanks for sharing. My wife and I purchased 2 DR650’s, in large part to your excellent video series. We are looking forward to the rest of the lessons. Cheers.
Hi Dino Your videos this one and others are so well made explanation clear and professional. Continue your good work / excellent channel. It must be a lot of works to achieve perfect quality videos like you do 👍👍👍 Don’t know what you do in life but you would have been a great teacher. Thanks a lot Have a great day 🙂😀😁
Thanks again for another great video! A video idea in this series or something to include in a video would be how to disconnect the sidestand switch! I sure would appreciate it. Be safe and looking forward for the next video! :)
Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you like the content. I think I'll add the side stand delete to the que for another video so not get of track on the starting episode. I will do one though. Dino
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.
Hello Dino, I've been enjoying your videos since I discovered them last year and it's been great. Being a DR owner myself I'm naturally very interested in your content and it has helped a lot. Do you think the manual you're using still applies at large in the pre-96 bikes ? I happen to have the E-starter 95 version.
Thank you for the question and the comment. I really can't comment on it as I have only owned the 2009 that I have. I think this is a better question for the Drrider forum. I wish I could be more helpful but I do not want to give the wrong answer as there was major changes in 1996. Thanks again. Dino
Great info, Dino.... Especially the grease. I was always of the school to keep that huge GOB off the contact pins. 😂 BTW, I wasn't even going to do a vid today. But look at us.... Uploading at the same time 🤘🏻
Learning quite everything i needed u r a good teacher tho
