Glad I could help....the DR is great for self mods 😀

Thank you...great day out :)

We really can't complain about the weather in Western Australia...until the top of summer!

Yeah...same here. 45 degC in top of summer! But at least no humidity.

Thanks mate...I always look for the easiest and simplest way to do things. Thanks for the comment...

The pictures I have seen where it has ripped out has the frame corroded out. The key is to keep it lubricated/greased and free moving.

We use NM in Australia so all numbers specified would have been NM. Lots of places on the net where you can look numbers up as well if you are after imperial units. Thanks for watching...😀

@@rabidwookie606 pro-taper cr-mid and pivot rox risers. Combo works really well.

No worries mate...happy to share any knowledge 😀

Technically 100% correct. Practically 0% correct! Can't recall Suzuki engineers stating this technique but just to make sure I had another read of the manual 😀 Thanks for the comment and watching...

@@lifelongmotorcycling just remember my technique works on any bike with chain without measuring or looking up manual for a recommended point to check chain tension and all that is difficult to measure and difficult to get right, but do it my way and you get it right every time on every bike and never cook your seals, bearings, counter shaft, sprockets, and chain. By the way, I am an engineer

@@stubabyfuora5280 Thanks...as noted theoretically correct, but practically hard. I'm also an engineer: two degrees and 40 years 😀

Its definitely a fun bike...not the lighest, not the fastest...but fun and infinitely customizable. 😀

They seem to be holding up well. No evidence of peeling off yet. I think if you stuck them on top of the existing glue it wouldn't work. The existing glue on the pads goes soft with the petrol fumes. The pads literally just peeled off after a short period of time.

@@lifelongmotorcycling Many thanks for the reply! I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah - good question. I thought the next size up would be too big but this size is pretty small. I only wanted something to carry my tools and tubes etc for day rides so it works ok for that. If you wanted to carry more I would recommend the next size up. I have a Mosko Moto bag when I travel so I'd be taking this off anyway. It's very well made and waterproof and has molle on top so that's another few reasons I bought it. Thanks for the question and for watching.

The flying bush pig :)

Thank you 😀👍

Thank you 😀

It had to be done 🤣

upgrade tool box¡ good¡ will be more quickly

As long as its somewhere 😀

Was quite a bit of work...the handle is good for opening up the top. The hinge pivot would need to be on the outside edge or it wouldn't open. I could put the body inside and "L-shape" it to the outside...but it works 😀 Thanks for the comments. It's never going to make me a million 😀

That's probably enough to vacate them. I am a bit risk adverse and wanted to make sure it was 100% empty before the angle grinder bit into it. Water washing definitely the way to go.

@@lifelongmotorcycling I'd never argue someone should be less careful with things like this. Too many idiots posting very dangerous DIY videos here. Carry on!

@@jondrew55 Thanks...I agree you see a lot of stuff that makes you cringe! 😬

The worst bit is the propane keeps leaking out the seal in the middle 🤣

The trailer has two bottle storage holders. This one is on the right hand side. The other is in exactly the same location on the left hand side. It also has two jerry can holders on the front corners in similar locations outside the tray. It's actually built for my racing 1962 BMW... thanks for watching 😀👍

I thought I had better put a disclaimer in...we live in times of litigation! 🤣

Absolutely not...it's a garage queen 😀

Was a beautiful day out. As noted I had plans for a longer ride but the pull of a decent coffee was too great. Thanks for watching. 😀

I created a metal frame that fits around the front cowling and then I mounted it on a Ram Ball. Full video here. Solid as a rock. The plastic is too flimsy to mount it. th-cam.com/video/NEZiWlZu9GI/w-d-xo.html

There was a black B&B one when I shot this. I found it was rubbing the case after this video so I changed it to a Suzuki one.

G'day Sam, not sure what size C spanner. A few c spanners are adjustable. Measure the diameter of the nut and usually most will fit. In any event there isn't much room for a spanner when the shock is fitted. If you have the shock out its easier. The C spanner I had was probably from another motorcycle - maybe even a bicycle crank not I think about it! Thanks for watching.

My pleasure...every day high 20's and blue sky at the moment. Perfect weather. Spring is better as greener but this is pretty pleasant for riding. 😀 Thanks for watching...

It would have to be oil temperature and I'd have to tap it into the oil system somewhere. Too hard. 😀

Interesting comment…a lot of stuff is just improving or upgrading. I have added quite a bit that said 😬 The pig is not quite a lightweight unicorn. 165kg off the showroom floor? Built for comfort, not for speed. 😁

Professional 😉 Wired grips ensures they never move. And the grips come with slots for wires so why not 😀

My first dirt bike was a DT175 with Cheng Shin Knobbly Motocross Tyres. That bike did everything: trails, enduro, touring...two stroke was thrashed and kept going. Nearly seized it once whilst scouting the ISDT in Scotland 😀 I've got Motoz on this bike now. Front still feels a bit unsure and wobbles over 115 km/hr. But...I'll I don't ride that fast anyway. Thanks for watching...

Thanks for watching - apologies about the sound. I must not have plugged in the mic properly. It was an opportune cool summers morning. Other days have been 40 degC so that's a non-runner for me 😀

Thanks...I'll take 9.5 😀

I hate pea gravel 🥃😀

Good to hear - thanks 😀

Post your mobile number and I'll text you. All the upgrades are shown in the videos. 😀

Depends how fat your fingers are 😀 Interestingly mines are exactly 60cm 😳
