Great job Pete... Will be interested to see how quick the movement comes back! I've still got the original cushions after 31,000kms. Will be checking the movement compared to your original ones that's for sure! 👍
Thanks mate, Hopefully your comment will help others to decide if to replace or not.
goes to show it's not that critical.
I agree Pete and Mark, under normal day riding and weekend tag along rides the old damper rubbers would have been fine for another many K/Ms and if the damper did call it a day you wouldn’t been to far away from home to replace and fix. But the Simpson desert ride is a completely different situation where Boris will need to be at his best condition possible and not taking any “What if’s” into the equation when you’re in the middle of no mans land. 👍🏍Hwy
Great video, many people don't even pay attention to the shock absorbers. I have 2 DR 650 SP44 from 1992 and 1993 and the following trick: Simply put rubbers in diesel for a day and they fit again, they suck the paraffin out of the diesel. I've always done it this way, it works great.
Greetings from Germany :-)
Thanks heaps Oliver, Now that is very interesting in regards with the Diesel. Great to have a German Friend, Tschuss.
What’s with German and have a solution for everything
This vid just saved me a bunch of money. Subscribed.
Hi Eric, Thanks for your comment, Really pleased you got something out of the video. Now go and spend that extra cash on more Motorcycle Stuff. Kind Regards FPPete.
Have you checked the ones on the Yamaha mate? Mine seemed fine last time I had the back wheel off, maybe the 650 got too much torque 💪 Speaking of torque... hahaha love ya work mate 👌
Thanks Josh, Mate I just can't get that Click Click Stunt of yours out of my head, It just makes me laugh. Comedy Gold. TWP/FPP.
Thank you, I have some on order. Very informative video!
Hi Carl, Thank you for watching, and leaving a comment. Really glad you got something out of the video. Regards FPPete.
Great stuff Pete,amazing how worn the rubbers were already,now you’re all set for when you can do the Birdsville track 👍🇦🇺
Thanks Bruce, Time is running out for us to get to the Simpson this year, so fingers crossed mate.
Nice. Good job on the video and the bike. Nice pig shed all I have is a haunted garage.
The ghost would be very happy in the haunted garage. You know what they say, happy motorcycle, happy life. Just letting you know, my stickers are now on sale on biker bits web site. Kind regards Pete.
Hal is amazing for spotting that. Congrats on 500 subs Pete.
Hi Bill, Your Spot on about Hal, And thanks for the Congrats, mate, 500 is not a lot in the TH-cam world, but it's mind blowing in my world, I'm very happy doing the odd video here and there, and its so good that people are enjoying my work.
Top job Pete, this will improve your ride on the road and track as well the life of the chain, sprockets and bearings, hope it wasn’t to hard putting the wheel back in. Torque is the legend. Love it. 👍👍
Can't thank you enough mate. All went well, "click click"
Great video Pete
Thanks heaps J G, glad you enjoyed the video.
@@FULLPELTAdventures No probs Pete, really enjoying your videos - Justin
Quality video Pete concise and clear . Also that's quite a big torque wrench mate , quite impressive 👍
Thanks Heaps Will, It should be registered as a Lethal Weapon, It's a real conversation piece at parties. LOL.
Good one Pete great vid 👍🏍💨 can’t wait to hear the new sound of Boris 😀
Hi Johnny, thanks mate, Hope to catch up soon for a ride, stay safe mate. Boris says Braaaap.
@@FULLPELTAdventures lol thanks Pete and you to Boris
Thanks for showing the difference in new to worn cush rubbers now I better get on an buy new ones for mine 👌
Hi Mark, Check my comment for David Clark, you may not need to replace them. I am no expert, so it will be interesting to read the comments from this video. Regards Pete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures thanks Pete you might be right there 👍 wheel bearing's is a good Idea too if I replace the rub rubbers. Cheers Mark.
Great job Pete! That Hal is definitely a "Legend". It surprised me how much movement was there. Gee! The Rubbers were expensive, it must have been the shipping costs from the Philippines! 🤣
Thanks Bob, Hal is a great help. Really appreciate his generosity, And yes not cheap. Regards FPP.
Nice job Pete!
thanks Alex.
Hello Pete, again a very informative Vid...clear, concise and a nice man cave....Keep safe..... David Tiger 900GT Adelaide
Thanks mate, appreciate your comments. Regards Pete.
Good work job well done.
I had the change dampers oh ony old Honda I was 46km from home and the rear wheel started making a horrible noise and there was slop in the drive between eceleration and deceleration. At first from the noise I thought some spokes had let go. The bike was 30 years old and had done 8,000km. I used insulation tape to take up the slack in the dampers till new rudders could be sauced. Go the 1986 XLR250R, miss that Lil bike.
I am surprised that after only one year your DRs have gone.
Thanks HH, a great little story there, and an iconic bike the old Honda, neat repair job. Regards Pete.
Nice one Pete , take my advise🤔 , stay off the meds , lifes more fun that way 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Never really thought about replacing the cush drive rubbers, shame they compress so quickly ( 10,000ks ). Will be changing my rear tyre soon , will look at them and the outer wheel bearing then. cheers !
Thanks Peter, Please check a few of my comments, Not sure if they need changing, just keep an eye on them, and it's up to you to decide. Biker Bits Mark has done 30000km on max on stock rubbers.
Good job Pete. I'll have to check mine now...
Hi David, I just spoke to Biker Bits Mark, and Max the DR650 has 30000km with the stock rubbers still in, so the jury's out on whether a little bit of slop is ok or not.
@@FULLPELTAdventures I'll check mine anyway. My bike has 32,000ks on her..
@@1962clarky Sweet, Yeah see what you think, Also Hal recommends checking the wheel bearings as well if the rubbers are shot. The DR650 is such a work horse.
great vid Pete!
Thanks MAMA, Appreciate your comment, it means a lot. regards Pete.
Nice one Pete, Amazing the difference afterwards eh!! Good on Hal for pointing that out to you. Congrats on the 500 subs, that is well deserved. Lastly, I think we're on the same meds!!! Hah. Have you any Full Pelt Stickers at all? Cheers, Al.
Hi Alan, thanks heaps mate, always enjoy your comments, and great to hear we are on the same medication. If you send a self stamped address envelope to Mark (Biker Bits), I will get a sticker to you.
Nice one Pete, Need to get that done on mine shortly! Mine are original at close to 30,000 kms, Looking forward to your simpson run!
Thanks MD, Would be interesting to know how much slop yours has after 30000km compared to mine. It's up to you to decide if to change them or leave them. The Simpson dream is fading fast for this year with lockdowns and border crossing issues.
@@FULLPELTAdventures Will have a look and let you know. Sorry to hear that Pete there will always be next year
Yeah, the simpson ain't going anywhere.
Great Job, I was P1ssing myself when your called out Nat and Josh's torque wrench, you clicking sound is almost as good as theirs bwhaha!!!
Yeah, I can't get it out of my head, So bloody funny, That's why I lost my shit laughing in the video. Thanks Wayne.
Nice one Pete, huge difference in those rubbers. I'm surprised the play in that back wheel after only 10k. Definitely something I'll be checking when I get there in about another 3k lol. I need to send you a Biker Bytes sticker mate ! ATB Jason.
Hi Jason, Lets do a Sticker swap, Flick me an email for your address, My email is in the description. regards Pete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures Done !
Yes , I look forward to your vids
Excellent vid Pete. Glad to subscribe .
@@pstag244 Thanks heaps mate, I am glad your enjoying the videos, Keeps me motivated to keep doing it. kind regards Pete.
Pete, I don't torque my wheel nut to 100nm anymore as it may be difficult to loosen when out in the bush. The tools in the tool bag generally only have a short handle. I torque mine now to 80nm. I also place a witness mark on the nut and thread to make sure it has not moved.
Thanks Heaps mate, Yeah I gotta agree, some of the torque setting are over the top. always good to hear what others are doing, and hopefully others will read your comments as well. regards Pete.
I had the same problem on my 2020 with 1690kms on the odometer. The quality of the parts are definitely not what they used to be... they harden quickly with a few heat cycles in the rear hub assembly. Good job! *T4S* 😀👍🍻
thanks Mate, appreciate your input, It's great to get comments on others experience ,it helps us all.
Will probably never own a bike like your Boris, but that was indeed interesting. I also like the fact that you call out your fellow vlogers and give them proper credit. BTW that Boris is looking sharp-as, great bike for sure. Stupid question, what is a “Full Pelt”?
thanks BA, appreciate your comment, Google is your friend with "Full Pelt'". Bit of a Double Entendre.
Great jobb Pete. Good tiå on how to extend the life time on them.
Thanks Toby, Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@FULLPELTAdventures a question regarding to your t7. TH-cam are loaded with reviews of the bike on dirt and offroad, but non of how it performe in long hauling on the road. Im considering change from my tiger 800xc to t7, but it needs to performe on road. How do you find long travel on it?
@@toby7504 Hi Toby, great question, Long hours in the saddle in my opinion, is a personal thing, I would imagine the Tiger is a great touring bike. I find the ergonomics of the T7 fit me very well, the seat is firm, I like it, some people may not, My biggest gripe is the wind noise from the wind screen, so a bigger or better screen may be the answer. Try and get a test ride on a T7 if you can, that will help you decide. I love the T7, you may not.
@@FULLPELTAdventures thank for answering. I guess wind noise are a problem on most adventure bikes, but l find that its a personal thing. As my previous bike, the vstrom, is notorious famous for bufffeting beind the screen, but l had no issue. I put a spoiler on and it was dead silence to ride.
Yeah , the Triumph are a great bike, but l just cant get myself to like it. Feels kind of meh😒. 😀😀.
Think l would take a trip to my yamaha dealer and testride one.
Thanks aagan mate for answering.
@@toby7504 my pleasure, good luck.
Pro Cycle in the U.S, sell a polyurethane version for the DR 650.
Thanks for sharing the info Chris.
Nice.. 😎 I didn't know the rubber cush pads were that expensive.
Thanks KNK, $80 for 6 little rubbers, Crazy Expensive.
@@FULLPELTAdventures they make polyurethane ones that are $5 more than rubber ones here. 👍
@@kevinnashskitchen3517 Yes, thanks heaps for that, I forgot to mention that in the Video, Vince Strang has them, they are meant to be better, but can make removing/installing the rear wheel more difficult, because the sprocket sits a little prouder than normal. Hopefully someone who has them will comment, I am no expert.
Really should have done that bearing too, that cush movement gives lateral movement and wears bearing
I did check the bearings and they where all good. I have done 23000km on the DR still with the original Bearings. I do like your thinking. Thanks for your comment. Kind regards FPPete.
Hi Pete
What bike jack are you using?
Hi Wayne, its a great stand, here is the link mate. www.radum.com.au/product/14433-450kg-1000lb-motorcycle-stand-rubbertop
How often should you change them?
I would Check them every 10000km. If there is excessive wear change them out. I recommend using The Suzuki Rubbers. Regards FPPete.
I put tyres on my new DR at about 300km (to get rid of the Death Wings) and the original cush drive bushes had slop in them then and the hub pretty much fell apart when I pulled the wheel out. I think they are fairly loose from new. I've now done 2900km and they have as much movement in them as your old ones. I wonder if the replacement ones are of different design or rubber? It will be interesting to see how they last. I might pack mine to take the slop out, as the rubber looks fine and they don't look worn at all (having done bugger all work).
The jury is out on whether to change them or not. I will leave that up to you. Hope to Ride with you again Dave, thanks for your comment.
@@FULLPELTAdventures Cheers Pete!
@@FULLPELTAdventures Update on this Pete, I pulled my back wheel out on the weekend and threw in some inner tube rubber packers to tighten up the clearance in the hub. It was tight to get back together and has taken all the movement out of it. Test ride told the story... Much smoother on the gear changes and has taken the slop out of the driveline, feels like a different bike now!
@@davewalton2358 Thanks heaps for that feedback Dave, Sounds like that cheap fix is a winner, Keep an eye on it, and let me know how it stands up after a few more KM's
@@FULLPELTAdventures Will do mate. Stay safe!
If I grab the hub and really twist on it it will movie is this normal
Hi Guy, A small amount of movement is normal. If in doubt, just ask your Suzuki dealer or any motorcycle mechanic and get their opinion. They shouldn't charge you for a quick inspection. Regards Pete.
Pete, here’s a good vid explaining how to shim the rear wheel damper/ Cush drive on the DR for future reference th-cam.com/video/FguAXonC5Ps/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Hal, good to see this cheap fix.
Great vid Pete. Keep safe.
Thanks mate, Cheers Pete.
