Rebuilding the Iconic Suzuki DR650 Motorcycle Engine | Part 1: Disassembly

In this video I'll be tearing down my 2001 Suzuki DR650 SE motorcycle engine in preparation for a complete rebuild.
This is Episode 1 of a four part series. I hope to have Episode 2 (Inspection & Measurements), Episode 3 (Cleaning & Preparation) and Episode 4 (Assembly) uploaded in the next couple weeks.
Thanks for watching!
What engine should I rebuild next, first gen sv650s or third gen r6?

Just became your 100th subscriber haha amazing work. What was wrong with the engine by the way? Or were you going to do a big bore kit and decided to make a whole tear down and rebuild series while you're at it?

[@docteurmoteur]

Lucky 100, Thanks for watching! I’m dropping in a nova transmission and maybe a high compression piston. The big bore kit is next on my list but not for this four part video series.

Hi, have you done a dissembly+rebuild on a DR 350 engine? Thanks for sharing

[@docteurmoteur]

Thanks for watching! I have the yamaha r6 next and if I can get my hands on a 350 for cheap I may very well do it.

[@1111dilan]

next please.

[@georgegeorgakopoulos5956]

This engine in XF650 lasts forever,why rebuild it?

[@jonpeters5194]

how many miles did the engine have? looks like on the lower end

[@docteurmoteur]

Approx 35k miles, maybe a Little more.

[@jonpeters5194]

@@docteurmoteur Interesting. did it have any signs of wear or needing a rebuild? It really does look good and will do many more miles when your through.

[@docteurmoteur]

Engine ran perfectly. I’m installing a nova transmission, so taking the opportunity to Check everything.
