Thanks mate appreciate it! Cant wait to get my seat. Good stuff

Thanks for watching mate

Thanks for watching mate

Lipstick on a pig. 😉

Thanks mate! :)

Thanks mate :) the staintune is a nice one that's for sure.

Thanks heaps :)

Agreed. I think in order to stay around much longer it's going to need abs and run cleaner. New zealand and aus is kicking them out next year I think. Europe did decades ago. Hopefully Suzuki just doesn't drop it completely 🤔

Thanks mate! Good question! I have completely forgotten now but I did make a video on just that if you can find it. It's about 11 months old. Thanks for watching.

Nice! Yip those bars do bend easy that's for sure. I am still undecided on the exhaust 🤔

@@NzJohny I'll let you know about the exhaust, it should arrive shortly so I'll do a review. Actually thinking of getting different bars now as I'll probably get a steering damper 👍

Sounds good! I will take a look.

I did :) its called something along the lines of. My Suzuki dr650 modifications. How much did it cost.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WBz713TYgcU.html

$2200 Canadian, that’s including some of the special tools like Japan industrial screw driver and the grease for the steer tube

I have $3k list of “mods” made up. But way more things than he has on his

Thanks man

Your welcome

Thanks! No suspension mods just yet. Most likely will in the near future. My riding style hasn't demanded an urgent upgrade just yet but it sure would be nice.

That's great! Thanks man. Much appreciated

Screens for bikes Australia 👍

Thanks:) yep sure did. Mine just peeled straight off

Screens for bikes australia 🇦🇺 👍

@@NzJohny Thanks!

Hey mate. I think you should be fine. I am 180cm. Never had a problem l. My brother has rode my bike also and he is about 175. Chers

I thought about it also but just kept the one that came with it. It works well :)

No issues :) there is a very minor occasional surge at very low speeds but doesnt bother me

@@NzJohny thank you! Also awesome response time!

Hey mate. They are holding up. They are not %100 symmetrical. One is maybe 15mm further forward than the other. I have to be honest customer service for me being in new zealand wasn't great. I had to ship them to a friend in USA. Then have them ship to me. All in all 7/10

Nice! Thanks mate!

Much safer for the case in the event your chain snaps. But definitely easier to clean behind aswell :)

Bugger that's no good! But atleast it's all fixable. I dont know alot about the clarkes but I have never heard anything bad about them myself. I would guess they are just as good as the acerbis. Almost guarantee the Clarke fuel cap is better though 😅 good luck with the repair! Thanks for watching

@@NzJohny I subscribed - GREAT videos got a list of parts to order (it is low mile bike) but got to do a lot of TLC from it 'sitting'. I ordered the tank will be 2-3 weeks to get it and need carb parts the float assembly as well and battery.

@@mt1885 chers man! Have fun with the maintenance! Let us know how it goes.

@@NzJohny It is an adventure - nothing worse than (old fuel) smell - : )

Thanks for the ideas mate! Encouraged me to be more broke 😅

Hey mate I'm unsure. But you should find it on the B&B website. Really good stuff they make . Chers

Hasn't twisted once in years. Just snug it up :)

It's a "screens for bikes" windshield from Australia. I find it good. Some people get buffeting. I must be the right height as the wind cuts off at my neck leaving my helmet in clean air. I am about 5"11 / 180cm. Hope that helps thanks for watching.

Would love to. Chers mate

@@NzJohny would be awesome, you always seem to have it in prestine condition. Again love the videos, they've been very helpful. Take care mate.

I personally haven't seen mine do it but I have seen a number of fb posts with ppl having there red header

Mine does idling, scared me the first time, I guess its normal though.

Absolutely :) to much infact. But the satisfaction is worth it

I just put all the videos into one as some people prefer it :)

I made a video about it. Somewhere:)

That sucks :( I think it is near the end here now to because it doesn't have abs. Etc.

@@NzJohny Definitely. It is an outdated bike in every way.

I found the same. I guess we are a minority.

@@NzJohny I have a gel seat (not sure which one, bought the bike used) and a sheepskin does wonders! Also helps with keeping cool on hot long rides, I'd find myself dumping water on it to keep me extra cool haha

@@GoProZgamer good idea!

That's a fair point actually. I suspect its around the same or maybe 2kg or so heavier. Not sure how to measure accurately

@@NzJohny Just curious because I did pretty much the same thing to mine, I'm too lazy to weigh it, I need two bathroom scales, one for each tire and only have one. EDIT: I just weighed mine, front wheel on scale then back wheel on scale. Front was 180, back 250lbs,=430lbs. 195 kg. I'm guessing that's about right with all the junk I added. I have bigger heavier steel racks,, sargent seat, and aluminum panniers with half tank of gas, tusk traverse pannier bags with two quarts of water in each one, tank bag, gps mount, bar risers....no wonder I couldn't pick it up on the side of a hill when it fell on my leg🤣. Still 200lbs less than the GS I had. I actually like the DR better than the GS and it was about $20,000 less even with everything I've done to it.

I can't speak for everyone but I bought tinted because it simply matched the bike :) my field of view is far over the windshield. It doesn't interfere with any thing. I would be curious to see other colours though

LOL! I’ve always wondered the same. I want to see in front…not have it blocked out. 👍🏻😁

😅😅😅

It is a little on the boring side that's for sure
