I just checked my exaust clearance , it looks like they closed. 1 is at 0.155mm and the other is between 0.076 and 0.102. You think its normal?

good video, cheers, i bought a pr in 2018 1x Backcountry 35L Pannier Kit - 35 Liter for $830 delivered, now same set new version 2.5 2024 3k nzd plus freight... dang... love em though.

Thanks. Very clear. Beats the shit out of having to remove the cams to change valve lash shims on my 650 Vstrom. That’s a shitty job. Fortunately, checking the clearances doesn’t require cam removal. I’m currently on the fence over getting a BMW G650GS or a DR650. Ease of maintenance and simplicity of the DR is a big selling point. Otoh, A carburetor is not.

That museum stands on the site of the old Canberra Hospital. It was imploded in 1997 and a large chunk of steel blew out taking the head off a 12 year old, Katie Bender, who was 500 metres away.

Why didn't you change the breathers?

Great tutorial. Followed your instructions with perfect results. Those screws on the master brake cylinder are beastly, though. Many thanks.

Does yamaha in NZ sell the first generation of the scorpio too? The one with the rectangle-shaped fuel tank and headlight?

Bloody Germans and their reverse threads.

I agree, the DR doesnt let down! Every motorcycle enthusiast should own one! Tried, true, simplistic, utilitarian, reliable, fun, mid weight, true 50/50. I always say it has everything you NEED and nothing you dont!

Thanks Daniel but what about the rear brakes?

Awesome rank you

Thanks a lot brother

Is it right the gearbox and the final drive use the same oil ?? 🤔 Cheers

Good job, thank you!

Heads up to any US based Meanstreak owners. Some were recalled long ago to have their normal screw on oil filter attachment replaced with a reusable oil filter housing that has an oil cartridge inside. Once they're converted like this, a normal screw in oil filter like the KN204 that Revzilla tells you to get will not fit. You have to order the filter cartridge from a Kawasaki dealer if this is the case. They still have them available to order at the time of this comment. You can tell this recall change has been made if you look at the filter and it's a solid metal housing with Kawasaki lettering on it. I was mid oil change when i found this out and my K&N filter didn't fit.

This video got saved. When i get my gs out of the garage this is the first thing i am doing. My poor starter hangs a bit and in combination with a bad battery it’s totally not healthy.

Is it not ok to just use soapy water (dish soap) to clean filter? followed by whatever filter oil ( i have UNI spray oil)? I see everyone using different stuff from kerosene to turpentine to whatever the fuck, it's so confusing just to service an air filter.

Hello. I have a 1500 Mean Streak and want to put the extenders on it. Now your Amazon-link says for the Classic/Nomad. Are these also the correct ones for the Mean Streak? Greetings from the Netherlands.

I have a pre-96 Dr650. My worst MOD was to change oil and fill with synthetic oil. Clutch DID NOT LIKE it at all. So, I have to use ONLY non-synthetic oil (10w-40 4 stroke wet clutch, of course). Also interesting, this 'older' oil is difficult to buy anymore. so think ahead. I did MOD from 16 front to 15 front sprocket made a huge difference in the mountains area I live (10,500 ft elevation). Also, I put on a pumper TM40 carb, which is awesome.

I bought this bike a few days ago. Over the winter I'm going to watch all your videos regarding the Mean Streak. Thank you for taking the time to record and share them with us. Do you happen to know the color code of this orange color - maybe 230 Candy Gold Spark? The side covers will need a paint job on mine, might as well get the whole bike painted. This color I like the most.

You just said that brake fluids are interchangeable. They are NOT interchangeable. And most definitely DO NOT mix them. If you do change fluid types make sure to get ALL of the old fluid out of the lines first. And DOT 5 is a silicone based fluid, and should not be used in applications that do not specifically call for it.

Hey thanks for this Vid. I know its a few years old now but I'm about to change chain and sprockets on my DR for the first time so this was very, very helpful. Thanks.

Right on man! Excellent video!

Had a GT550 shaft drive that locked the rear wheel as I approached a junction onto thd A40. Really put me off. Didnt drop it but it was pretty hairy. Saying that had a chain fly off my GPz900r too, fortunately no one behind be. Guess it could have wrapped around front sprocket. Im much older now and always fancied a 1150. You posted this video a good few years back, any further update on life with it?

Witaj. Kolego moj przewod od prawej manetki pękł przy wejściu w otor od domu na kierownicy. Zeby go wyciagnac musze sciagnac cala manetke ? Pozdrawiam

Excellent information, thank you!

Hello! Thank you so much for this! I am learning, so please bear with me! I want to install a USB charging port on my DR. If I get the eastern beaver 2 pin connector, does it matter what connectors are on the end of the usb unit I buy or can I simply cut them off, strip the wire, and put the eastern beaver pin on them? This is the one I am considering: GOBGOD USB C Car Charger Socket 12V/24V USB Outlet, 36W Dual Quick Charge 3.0 Car Dual USB Port with LED & Touch Switch DIY Car Socket Thank you so much for your help! Subscribed and looking forward to watching your videos!

Hi there, I’m looking to wire in a charge mount quad lock to my GS but the factory fuse box is pretty slim pickings for ignition live sources. Can you use a fuse tap from the RID / power socket fuse or is the RID a bit iffy to tap from ??

Great video, where are you measuring from and to on the rear shock?

I just installed this headlight on my 2023 XR650L and it is sooooo much better than the stock headlight. Highly recommend and worth every penny!

Hey there man I hope you’re fine, yesterday y was working on my bike and just changed the fuel filter and reconnected everything and the bike won’t start, there is no fuel flow and my fuel pump works as it sounds, when I press the starter it moves the engine but there is no fire at all, spark plugs are sparking but fuel injectors the have a very poor spray almost nothing and as well there is no spark or pulse on them , any suggestions?

Great job, very impressive!

Best pies in NZ hands down

Thank you so much for this video. Great lighting and framing to see exactly what's going on the whole time - what a blessing! You rock.

Fuckn insane good shit man

14 front here ... good off-road...fine for secondary hiways around here

Great Video

What size do the filter tool (for original oilfilter) has? thx

Not best video. Would like to have seen the bags removed and longer showing the full process not a shortened version of what was done but concept is understoof

Thanks. One of the best full videos of walking through a process with no assumption that we know everything. Can wait to see removing rear tires on a bagger

You only had to remove the air box

You use more fuel at low revs with single cylinders. Higher rpm and reduce chugging on engine. Smaller boom at more frequency better than bigger booms less frequent

Hi Dan great video have you covered seat adjustment on video yet thanks

Great video, Dan! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. I just bought a 1150 GSA and will do the basic services myself. I found your video very useful. All the best!

Perfect! Have the same problem. Will do this.

Great video! Thank you!

Still trying to find cam chain tensioner shims for my meanstreak ........

Hey Dan, you've been a bit quiet lately. Everything good?.

I’m 210lbs 6ft tall and most of my bike is stock I don’t understand the hate for the seat

What is name and brand on clutch oil ? My 2008 Kawasaki 1600 mean streak.
