Oh Boy I dodged a bullet the other day Hadn’t had time to ride the Dr650 For a couple of weeks started the bike To warm up It was idling for about 30 seconds look down and there was a huge puddle Oil on the ground Sure enough it was the counter seal had popped out Thank God i was not riding the bike when this happened Definitely don’t want oil on the rear tire Besides blowing up the motor I ordered a new seal and retainer It was Easy fix My DR 650 has been basically bulletproof and has 32,000 miles on it But this is a major issue If you own one of these bikes please install the retainer It’s the best $20 you ever spent

Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you so much for sharing!!! I think I am facing this problem now. Thanks!

Grüße aus German du bist echt begabt und hast ein sehr hohes Fachwissen was die Suzuki Dr 650 SE betrifft. Respekt

Are those vents on the pants made to just unzip each side, or are the supposed to be unzipped completely and folded down exposing the full mesh? If so, is there a secret on how to secure that flap? Thanks

Pro cycle jet kit sucks cuts out 4th and 5th gear bad no matter what I do

Hey Dino, my DR 650 takes alot of cranking with choke on to get started, after started when i turn choke off or if i give it gas with throttle it shuts off, any tips? Thanks!

Will you make me one

I was wondering have you ever heard of a dr650 overheating

Hello, Thanks for your video. Have you ever had, at constant speed (90km/hr), like a slight lack of gas or a slight variation in speed? My chain tension is good. I doubt my carburetor. Thank you, Alain

Good trick about tying hitches!

Love it. I don't have a 3d printer. Would you sell them instead?

Hi Deno unfortunately my DR got totaled in an accident. I picked up a new 23 v-storm 800 DE adventure. What a bike that is. I am planning on doing a DR build video set . I think I want to start with a new DR that would be interesting. After watching your videos and putting about 6500 miles on mine I think I know what would be the best upgrades. I still love watching your videos keep up the good work. And fyi the HWK gear protected me in a bad crash. No road rash just a broken leg and C7 I am up and going 😊if you would like to see in Arizona central for now let me know.

Didn't see your sled in the shed! Hope you didn't give up snowmobiling dino! Keep up the great videos!

What does JIS stand for?

That seat looks very good. Great review Dino. I find a sheep cover works for me. Your work on the pergola looks very professional.

Great review Dino. Very thorough review. Patio makeover looks the bomb also. Thanks for sharing.

Looks nice. Hope procycle gets them.

In the US, the ManTT products are sold under the name xitomer. I have a few of the Mantt products on my KLR and have been impressed by the quality. They are the 'top tier' of the Chinese bike parts.

Great job on the deck! It looks great. Thanks for the review of the seat. This could be marketed in the US as Xitomer?

The pergola looks fantastic, is there anything you can’t do? Good review on the seat, I hope you get out to ride a lot this summer.

Deck looks great, Dino! Even too hot to be out in the new shade! I used sheep skin in the Bronco. HUGE game changer! 👍🏻 We should go visit my friend Jason at Flyte Upholstery!

Great job on the house deck. Glad to see your shed gets messy sometimes too! Haha.

Another useful review on an important topic for the DR community Dino. 👍 In a perfect world it would be nice to gather a group of bikes with all of the popular seat options together and compare. When I bought my seat I was torn between the Seat Concepts regular and the Sargent. Ended up going with the Seat Concepts based on nothing but looking at pics and price. That said, I’m very pleased with Seat Concepts seat.

Dino! Are you on any forums or FB? Trying to get ahold of you and touch base on some DR topics to shoot back and forth. Thanks man

You been working out Dino? Looking lean and mean these days...

Awesome review Dino! Yes we really like the sheepskin🐑, it works well but I find it slides around when going offroad. Haha, but I don't want to change my Retro DR650 seatcover. So sometimes I just have to accept the sore buttocks. Cheers from the Netherlands 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️🐿️

Nice Deck

mowing your lawn as an intro is so awesome

Good information here

This is useful Thanx

Well done Dino. I just bought one of these things. Stuck it on the rotor of my Harley-Davidson. About a week after I bought it I was having a beer at the local pub and I heard it go off. I raced outside, and whoever had triggered it was gone. So I think these things are well worth the money. Might have saved me $20,000 plus.

I ride them because I love sticking it up my friends who spend $20k+ on an adventure bike's when I can do all that on a DR650 that cost a fraction of the price and is Bomb proof reliable not to mention as it's a lot lighter I can go more places they can and also cruise on the highway comfortably all day every day.

Thank you, Dino.

VESSEL do produce their own manual Impact Driver. So for this VESSEL Megadora Impacta, seems the intention is more for stripped screw head ( either JIS head or maybe work for Philps head too ). The "Impacta" is only as marketing name, which means it have steel at its handle, which can be hammered, to making a sharp pattern on the stripped screw head. After the sharp pattern created, then slightly rotate the screwdriver manually. As it does not as heavy as the Impact Driver, and without spring feature, it definitely will not turned by itself. So : Impacta only a marketing / branding name. But the purpose is more to create sharp pattern on the stripped screw, for those who does not have Impact Driver . ( I do own this VESSEL Megadora Impacta, with the VESSEL Impact Driver too, both seems different purpose, Impact Driver is for hard stuck screws, definitely better )

Put a set of shinko 700 on that bike and you want use any other tire. All I ever use on my klr 650

Hey Dino!! Sorry we're so late to the party, we we're very busy renovating our own Tinkershed!😅 But man what an intro, youve really got those squirrels on your hand😃, and we recognised a really beautiful red DR in the photo montage!😁 Luuk is pretty jealous of your big acetone bottle because we can only buy really small ones due to regulations in the Netherlands. (Luuk uses it to clean before welding) Really nice Broll edit with the music on the final reveal! Very curious how you like the seat, have you ridden it the last few weeks? Cheers from the Netherlands!🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

Buenas ...de donde es la pantalla ? Gracias saludos desde Argentina

Gracias dino....pregunta la pantalla de donde es ?? Saludos desde Argentina

any aiming tips with the new bulb?

Well, I put on a DG pipe and it’s way too loud for me. Glad I watched your video I was going to drop the main jet from a 150 to a 145 to put stock pipe on. But, now I will try to dial it in with the 150 and stock pipe.

Your videos are the best. I bought a Uni filter I am going to try, and I am also going to try the lawnmower foam idea on the stock unit.

I checked the link out. The seat does not seem to be made for a tall person. Am i right to say this? I’m 6’4’’. Thanks for the great video Dino!

I got the same bike

Fantastic series, thanks again for doing such an in depth explanation of the process.

Wow, this was an excellent video! Thank you for the thorough explanation of all the steps, they’re really helpful.

thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with the community Dino

the DR community loves you - setup a patreon man

I am happy to do some early prototyping with your existing design as it stands now, and pay for the privilege. I have a printer so im also happy to print stuff for you if needed

Looking good, Dino! And your production value keeps improving!
