That is great to know, thanks for the info on the NSU screws. Nice tip on fixing the hard seat, I guess you could do that with most of the hard dirt bike style seats, Thanks!

@@dirtbikefactory Yes, this is how you fix any hard motorcycle seat, especially dirt bikes and dualsports, because it's the area where your tail bone sits that causes all the numbness problems, this is where all the nerves exit the spine and they become compressed. I have tried a lot of different aftermarket "comfort seats" and none of them (especially "Seat Concepts") are any better than the stock seat for long distance riding. Total cost of fixing your stock seat, about $20 bucks.

Great tip, thanks!

Nice. Did the 2021's come with the new smog equipment? My 2012 didn't have it, but I've seen some newer ones with it, just curious. Thanks.

Cool. I once traded a DR650 for a sport bike and regretted it, I'm now on my 3rd DR650. It's one of my favorite all time bikes !

Awesome! I had a 2001, 2006, and now a 2012. Loved them all !!!

Thanks! Good to know. This stuff was about $15 for a 4x8 sheet so it was in my budget.

They are from a company called Highway Dirt Bike (HDB). They have integrated mirrors that work very well. I really like them, but a little pricey.

Hello, They have one under Shop Parts, then handguards, then keep scrolling down until you see Suzuki DR. hdboffroad.com/product/ultimate-hand-guard-suzuki-dr/

@@dirtbikefactory Many thanks.

Your welcome, more to come. I've been riding and working on my DR650's so long, feel like I know them inside and out. Luckily, have never had to do any major engine work. I did install the 790 big bore kit myself so that was a little involved. Thanks.

Yeah, I've never been into getting things rebuilt, had bad luck one time and it cost me the same as a new one would have, but that's just me, I'm sure many people do get them rebuilt.

I still have my original one so if my cheap knock off fails, maybe I'll rebuild my original. Thanks.

Probably in most cases, but mine does it even while jetted rich, I think it just gets hot fast since it's air cooled, needs to be moving to stay cool.

I only notice it when it's dark out and I let it idle for a few minutes, probably a minute too long, lol...

Yes, I really like them, this is my 3rd one !!!

Thanks 👍

Thanks!

Yeah, not sure why they were that expensive, doesn't seem any better than some of the others that are less expensive. Maybe just the Yamaha name?

Yeah, definitely check them out. I've had them for years and a buddy of mine has too. Only downside is that they are pricey.

The main Jeep road isn't too rocky. I think sometimes they do smooth it out a bit for the hunters. The side trails on the other side of the paved road are still very very rocky.

In theory that could work, but it doesn't work well. It's hard to work under a bike that's tipped over and the oil would tend to run down the engine or frame onto the skid plate which makes a big mess, so I guess the short answer is no, that doesn't really work. Thanks again for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I agree, this little thumper does sound pretty good.

Thanks, Yes, these bags really do work well for the money. Some of my friends have luggage that costs so much more, it's good too, but costs about 5x as much, lol....

Thanks, yes they are very sturdy.

It works ok, I personally wouldn't buy again though. I really just wanted a bolt on 2 inch lowering link, but ordered one on ebay for a honda crf250r and it didn't fit so lost that money. I either didn't buy the correct year or ebay add was wrong. This one has too much adjustability and moving parts for me that appear they could come loose or where out. Hope that helps.

I'm really not sure about the license, sorry.

​@dirtbikefactory, it's fine, thanks

Definitely a nice bike, but a friend of mine had one and it can be a handful in technical single track. As with most 4 strokes, they do better in faster terrain, don't really like to be lugged down low in slow stuff, more stalling, power is a bit jerky, and it feels a bit top heavy going slow. He switched to a 300 2 stroke and was much happier in the slow technical stuff. I think in faster 2 track type riding the Yamaha would be more fun.

@@dirtbikefactoryyea 300 2 stroke sounds fun but my father is doing most of the funding for my bike at he has always hated two stroke anything and hates the idea of a two stroke dirt bike. you see i have a pretty good sized ranch and need somthing to get in and iut of there quick to shut off water or check water but the arizona loose rock terrain is pretty rough and i would love a 300 two stroke but the thought of it blowing out or fouling a plug or anything that could put me at risk being left out there 20 miles from home in the mountains where theres no service or nothing isn't the best so i love the reliability of a 4 stroke.

Thanks. The bike isn't really made for dual sport riding but it works pretty well, just not on the highway. It has a close ratio 6 speed, so I had to make big changes to the sprockets and it only has a 1.7 gallon gas tank so I carry spare fuel bottles in my luggage.

Sorry for the late reply, had an issue getting to my comments. They get quite hot, I can't touch my cases either, typical of an air cooled bike. I got mine so hot one time going too slow on some hilly trails that it wouldn't restart until I let it cool down, definitely not good to do as heat is the engines enemy.

It is embossed, not a sticker. Thanks. I believe there is now another company making a similar handguard, the company is named, Molecule. Thanks.

Lmk if u find this out

@@ryanallen234 there's a guy who does a lot of SSR content that has a youtube channel and he used them. if you type in SSR 300 he's one of the first guys to pop up

Think its the 2016 450 crf but idk that’s just the matching exhaust

Sorry, I can't remember, but it was very minor from what I can remember.

Sorry for the late reply. It's a BelParts exhaust that comes stock on the 21 AJP PR4 Extreme. I'm not sure on a model #, sorry.

This pipe melted the zipper on my snake boots

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks, you are correct. This is my 3rd DR and I've done it both ways. Takes longer to pull the clutch, but I feel I have better access and can secure the new screws better.

Sorry for the late reply, yes, it does look ruff. just hit 70,000 miles from new. I don't abuse it, but I don't baby it either. This is my 3rd DR too. I kept thinking I wanted something better, maybe just different so I kept selling them, then I would realize how much I missed it and I'd buy another one, lol... The carbs give me the most trouble, seals wear out on the stock one pretty quick and it's downhill from there. I should probably try a pumper, but a friend had one and he had issues jetting it so IDK.

Sorry for the late reply. I wish I knew. I've read of people taking them out after that and not seeing any so I'd still have to check to be sure since it would be so bad if they came loose. Not sure why Suzuki wouldn't fix something so simple, probably cost 1 penny.... If you find out, please let me know.

You just gotta re jet the carb

Sorry for the late reply. NO they did not fix it, bad as ever, but as andrew mentioned you can get good results with a rejet. I found that I had to also do the o-ring mod to the accelerator pump. Those 2 things totally got rid of any bog once the bike was warmed up. It rips quite nicely now.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, how could I forget, most important part. At one point, I actually bought 2 thick aluminum ones and glued them together to make a stronger one after watching my buddy come down off a small jump and poke a rock right through his thick aluminum guard and his engine case, dumped 2 quarts of oil right there on the trail, totaled the bike... Now I just don't jump very high if I'm near any rocks.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks. I worked on figuring it out for a while, I was actually quite surprised at how light it was and it's really all I need.

@ awesome! Keep it up
