Bringing a Suzuki DR650 back to life after sitting for over 10 years! Barn Find! I got most of the parts from procycle.us/mo... See my other carb rebuild video for carburetor info.
Good video, i think at 17:55 you forgot to clean out the little fuelfilter though. Most people replace it with a bigger fuelfilter when they install a new tank anyway.
The fuel valve has a filter in the tank. I avoid inline fuel filters, they are not needed with an in tank filter and can cause additional problems. Thanks for watching!
Nice, thanks! But hard to find? Have been in production since 1996 to this day same bike without change. Used to have one myself but I got tired with it cause it had a kick start =) Now looking into getting one again
Was hoping to see a hose out of carb connecting to nothing. It is on the right side, upper left on carb. I think I got a glimpse of it. Is this hose supposed to be like this? Connected to carb and to nothing on the other end?
Hi Tepco - I got a DR650 been sitting as well (tank is rusty) can you give more details on the TANK you got and Petcock for it (looking at a Clarke or Acerbis) just not sure which to buy and what petcock as I am sure the petcock on mine needs replacing. thanks
I just came into possession of a 1996 Suzuki DR650SE. I am in the process of trying to get it started. Could you please send me links to the parts you purchased to get your started. I am excited to get on/off road. Thank you
Well it's a tricky question. You have to figure out what it might need if it's been sitting that long. Carb clean if replacement, fuel flush, petcock, brake fluid flush, brake pads, valve adjustment, did any water get in the crankcase? Was it running perfect before it was parked? Did rodents chew on any wires? All things I would tackle for the right price. A non runner, sitting, I would pay 500-700. If it runs good but needs a good clean up 12-1500. You have to be careful because if it needs a few things you'll quickly run over what the bike is worth.
@timjack1020 I think if you trust him that it was running before it sat and it's a bike you really want, it's not bad. They are great bikes and a lot of on line backing. I wasn't that far off! You should be good at $900 if it's good.
