Sounds like a bargain to me. At my age, I have problems shifting into 2nd and getting going. A little more sunshine and warmer temps should help. Lol. 👍👍5🏍🙋♂️
I've read about 3rd gear failing, haven't read about 2nd gear. What is the 2nd gear issue? Either way, it's been working for 20+ years, so hopefully it'll keep on trucking.
@@mustachemoto I made a classic mistake, I stuck my head above the parapet and made a comment that people disagree with. 42 years a motorcycle tech and I know nothing, anyone wanting to know about the 2nd gear issues on DR650's and CCM650's just has to do a simple online search to see it.
I bought new in 2020 researched them for about 2 years before I bought one and been on several groups since owning never heard of second gear problem but have seen a few have 3rd gear problems and that can be disastrous for the engine the dr650 is very popular in Australia and u got a bargain we can't get them that cheap and no longer able to buy new
Outstanding bang for the buck winner 🏆... Keep the shiny set up and the rubber side down. Enjoy your time out there...
Thanks, will do!! More videos to come!
Love it! The DR650’s are such rad bikes. Sounds like you’ve found a great one for a great deal!
I'm loving it so far!
That sounds like it was a great deal for sure!! I’m building one from the frame up. I’ll start a channel for that build soon💪🏾.
fantastic!

Cool project! Ive owned one of these bikes. Such a solid bike. I'd say you got a steal. Enjoy your new to you bike!
Thanks, I'm loving it so far!
Great bike!
I’m loving it so far! Can’t wait to get it off road for a real workout!
Good video sir. Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Wow what a great bike
it sure is!
Look, if Geraldo Rivera likes the DR, it must be a good bike.
hahahahahah
If you had gas in the crank case when the carb was over flowing the rings probably bad
That's what I thought, but it's running fine, so I'll take it. Thanks! Please subscribe... if you keep watching, I'll keep posting!
Smoking on startup? I'm thinking valve guides over rings.
I'll look into that, thanks.
Sounds like you basically just paid for the mods and got the bike for free 👍
That's how I'm feeling!
wait till you get the infamous second gear issues
It's third gear and not that common
@@mrpap7613 its second gear and very common
