The bogging on these bikes comes from the very very lean factory setting of the carburetor. I have a 2022 and the first thing I had to do was flip the carb, drill out the mixture screw plug and turn the screw out about 2 1/4 turns (factory had it set at 1 turn out) then I had to remove the needle and shim it up with a 20-thousandths washer (can get a bag of them from Home Depot for like a dollar seventy-five). Now the bike runs beautiful, no bog, no delay, great power. There are videos on this and pics on this out on Google, everybody has to do it, the bikes come way too lean from the factory.
Thanks man I will definitely look into it. Just need to get it inspected and tagged so I can really take it out to see what it’s like. The mixture screw on mine has already been drilled out but the needle was not shimmed. I also heard of the air box mod and putting bigger jets in it which seems like a good idea.
@@MarleyJaxGarage Turning the mixture screw out helped a lot on mine, and the shim under the needle made an equal improvement. I put an aftermarket exhaust on and have not needed to re-jet, the bike runs real well with the just mixture screw and needle mod. Good luck with yours, you got a great deal.
Had a similar situation, got a 2009 DR650 cheap, the PO had a rock that punctured the crank case, and yes he had a skid plate on it, I tried having the case welded back up, but still was leaky. I found another case on Ebay and it's been running great since I swapped out cases. I've done some mods on it, GSXR muffler, updated jets, and so on. Enjoy your ride!
hey mate you done a fantastic job on the engine i watched all of it. I THINK EVERY DR650 OWNER SHOULD WATCH THIS. just so they can see whats in an engine. very very good i thought thankyou and safe riding mate.
Howsit, Great video, enjoyed the simple - precise explanation. Always fun watching fellow DR riders working on their bikes. PO did the needle, jet and airbox cut mod. He also jamed the air screw all the way in Can't screw it out, will have to mill it and work it out. Greetings from cool - Sunny South Africa.
Dude I was super impressed with your work, right up until you saw all that crap in the fuel line/petcock and didn't flush the tank and install an inline fuel filter! - now your nice clean carb is all full of crap too! Other than that, crazy good work lol. PS that main jet should be a 145
Lol thanks I guess? There is a inline fuel filter on these on the metal inlet to the carb. I have checked it a couple times and no debris in it so far. I definitely need to re-jet it in an upcoming video.
@@theadventuringspirit83 you are definitely right, I just never thought my videos would make it that far. Thanks for the comment man I really like seeing where everyone is watching from.
Good video… any chance you can tell me how to change the coils on the 1997 yamaha wave venture? It would be a great help since you had a spark test video for the same model I have. Thanks
Hi MarleyJax I've got a question to you. I've got '97 Dr 650 se, and it's problem is noise of maybe timing chain. When I start the bike, it is louder, after revving it, it is hearable, when it is idling for few moments the sound stops, until i will rev it again. What can it be? There are only a few metal shavings on the oil filter, and it is normal in my opinion, and the oil is clear, with no metallic effect. Bike's mileage is 37k kilometers, about 20k miles.
It’s sounds timing chain related to me as well. I would probably inspect the the timing chain and the tensioner/guide. I don’t think the metal shavings would be coming from that, more likely to be aluminum where it’s touching the cases. Metal shavings I would suspect to be from the transmission. I would probably also make sure the valves are adjusted properly. The only way to really know is start narrowing down the issue and inspecting things.
Those are the valves. If you don’t hear anything your valves could be too tight. I would check them just to make sure. The camera also picks up on the sound more than in real life.
