All solid upgrades, but you must have hemorrhoids like river rocks. Keeping that stock Suzuki seat... you're a better man than I am. I had to go with the Sargent seat on my bush pig. "Thumbs up" from this Kentucky boy. 👍
I highly recommend some engine protection, and the procycle jet kit will be the best mod u have done on your bike. And I just removed the snorkel , did not cut my airbox. The bike purrs now, starts right up, I think I put the 150 jet in it.
Wouldn't even bother with NSU. I done my 2013 model and it has the hex head cap screws in from factory and both were tight enough and would never of came off.
Love the bike. Ive just got a new one and thinking of a slightly louder exhaust. Dont want too loud and not after more performance either. Just need to hear the engine. Do you find yours a bit too loud?
It was initially with the staintune muffler, however I’ve just fitted a small baffle insert to the end of the muffler and that has made a great difference. Some use a GSXR 750 standard muffler which is non restrictive but still a good sound. ( search this on TH-cam) hope this helps.
Nice bike. Looks like a great setup improvement wise. How many klm's do you get out of the new tank and have you found that it swells a little as it ages and will hold more fuel like the Safari tanks do ?
I’ve never tested the tank to the max yet, but have done 400kms before reserve. I haven’t noticed the tank swelling yet but will watch the litres to fill next time.... thanks for the tip 👌
Hi, the suspension is still stock, however I’ve wound the rear shock up as much as possible ( didn’t make much difference) I mainly do good tracks ,dirt roads and slow rough tracks. If your doing jumps or fast wash outs ect, I’d recommend upgrading the suspension. The standard suspension is not that great on the 650. The DRZ 400 has better stock suspension. Hope this helps 👍🏍
@@tassieadventurerider4815 Hey there, I ended up getting one of these in Nov and LOVE it! Very similar to yours. Stock shock is fine for me, but also came with FFRC fork emulators, which are great. I've bought some for my other bike and they made a big difference there as well YSS brand. Cheers.
Hey, me again. I have a similar setup with Mitas EO7 Dakar rear. I find it a bit skittish on gravel. My Scorpion Trail 2 (on Versys) did much better on same gravel tracks. Any thoughts?
The Dakar version is very stiff in the side walls for rough terrain durability... I've never tried the scorpion Trail 2. tyre pressures are important too but on fine loose gravel on a hard surface, most tyres will struggle at some point
@@louvega8414 I did run a 606 rear before and I wanted to compare the wear between the E07+ . I am going back to the 606 on the rear next change simply because where I ride now needs a road legal knobby for more wet muddy conditions
@@tassieadventurerider4815 fair enough. Wasn't a performance choice then just repair/upgrade. Was there a noticeable difference? I remember doing it to my old GSF600 made a big difference. But like you I now have a new dr650 and wasn't sure it would be worth it. Improving the seat seems more of a priority
@@iammrsnesbit6014 yes, the seat is a must for comfort. It’s something I haven’t done yet but will as soon as supplies are available again. I didn’t notice a great deal of difference with the brake line and only replaced it because I damaged the other…. It would be better than the stock one.
Hi, at the moment I’m running a Mitas E 07+ on the rear and a Dunlop 606 front. I will switch back to the 606 rear as well just for winter months, because the Mitas does struggle in heavy mud and clay. Cheers 🍻
Hi, it was a deal at the time for new buyers in Australia. A rear rack and bash plate. I’m not sure where you live, however this was the deal for new buyers. I purchased mine in March 2018
@@tassieadventurerider4815 Same for my 2020 Dr650. Came with bark busters and bash plate standard. The only reason it did not come with the rear rack is that Suzuki Australia have run out and are not getting any more in.
Estou comprando minha terceira DR 650!
Moto sensacional!
I installed the lowered foot pegs from ProCycle. Very happy with the extra leg room. I'm 173cm.
Very happy with my Seat Concepts Commuter seat. World of difference.
Greetings
Excellent video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸
Keep producing more videos
Thank you for watching 🍻

Dont worry, the seat is next on the list. thanks for the follow. cheers
Nicely put together 👍

🇦🇺😎👍🏁DR 650 2011, 2016 &2019 models and more to come 🏁
Nice bike looks great.. same as mine.. three seats later I'm on a Sargent seat and love it. Hope you can get one..cheers..
Yes, totally agree. My next purchase is definitely a better seat .🍻
Sweet ride
Great video; just about to buy one of the last available new ones in NZ! :)
They are a great blank canvas to make into your personal set up depending on the type of riding you do
Apparently Suzuki fixed the NSU bolts as of 2017. Planning to do the fix on my 2016 soon
Wouldn't even bother with NSU. I done my 2013 model and it has the hex head cap screws in from factory and both were tight enough and would never of came off.
great dr !!! they were on the short list we just rolled to a brp . hope your out chasing !!! #livetoride
Excellent video!
flat foot pegs is a great for this bikes long ride.

I have the 20 litre with pro cycle jet kit and staintune. 15/43 gearing and can get 450klms on highway type riding
@@tassieadventurerider4815 I get 400K out of my ACERBIS 20L tank. Put a spider foam air filter too and went up 2 jet sizes.
Update: So far I have 504klm out of the 25ltr Acerbis with a few litres remaining.
Hey, I'm curious with the kind of riding you do, what do you think of the DR650's stock suspension? Have you changed anything there?

Did you put a braided break line on it as well?
