Yenkro Fairing (Gen 2) on My 2022 Suzuki DR650 

You’re the best, Chelsea. Thanks for following. Love hearing from you!

Thanks for watching and commenting, Jon. Agreed. I love the bike. For highway time, the size and weight is perfect. For off-road and tight conditions, I wish it was 100 pounds lighter. But I’m getting better and better.

Thank you! I agree!

It's the one mod I would want the most! Can't imagine not having it.

It makes the bike! Totally different without it. Thank you!

Muchímas gracias!

Definitely! Love it!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Sounds like a good plan. You know how I feel about the Yenkro! Thanks for watching.

Definitely expensive, but it’s like having a whole new motorcycle.

Thanks so much, Oxintar! Your kindness and appreciation means a lot. I couldn’t agree more and I stand in awe of Joe’s (Yenkro) vision, design, engineering and beautiful mind. I mean, seriously, Joe envisioned this product and meticulously designed it with the eye of an experienced rider, then designed and built the machine to build the product. Truly a beautiful mind.

I have a lot of videos. I’m sure there’s more great views of it!

Hello, Steven. Good question. I would say, no, but you've got me thinking now. Because the screen can pop right off, I'll try a ride where I remove it and note the difference. I'll report back to you.

@@GeordieMac Hi mate Reason asking I have a Yenkro Gen 2 Both screens are giving me buffering I took off the screen I was flat out hanging on the bars at speed I was just seeing if it is me with my hight and helmet and sitting position Cheers

@@stevenjohn4 You've got me thinking now - especially about my audio when I'm recording. What do you experience? I wear an Arai XD4 and I'm 5'10". I don't experience terrible vibrations or extraordinary noise, but I do have a difficult time with wind noise on my audio. I'mm thinking the wind does get directed right toward my chin/mouth area. I think I'll experiment with angling my head differently.

Yeah same helmet and height When I have the lid open that’s when I get heavy buffering

@@stevenjohn4 I’m rather novice but I’d say I don’t experience anything too intense or extraordinary. There’s some really good videos on wind buffeting here on RU-vid. I watched some to learn more and my key take away was that there are tons of contributing factors and also that it’s common for buffeting to occur from below. Sorry I’m not much help. Check out some of the videos if you haven’t already and I hope they might help you! Best, G

Hello and thanks for watching and commenting. I believe the cost is on the Yenkro website. I didn’t want to quote it because it might have changed and it all depends on the options you choose. Sorry that’s not a help, but give the website a look.

@@GeordieMac That was a answer and of course, I should have watched on there website for price details. Thx for your video and thanks for your (quick) response. 😊👊🏻

Yes and also reinforces how talented and visionary Joe of Yenkro is.

Gosh, I don’t know. Personally, I like oncoming traffic being very aware of me. I also upgraded my battery and stator.

Gotcha. Yeah, there’s a fine line between visibility and being a nuisance with these new super bright LEDs. I mean, there’s a reason a lot of them aren’t DOT approved haha. Anyway, thanks for the reply. Just found your channel. Good luck on your trip!

@@Pccart1121 I’m in Mexico and there’s some good videos on the way!

Hey, Clint! I was just in touch with Joe of Yenkro and he said when they are adjusted correctly they do not blind oncoming traffic because they have a low beam cutoff. Hope this helps. I’m deep into Mexico on my adventure and am definitely loving the Yenkro!

Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience. You’re a much bolder rider than me!

Hey, Keith. Well the tank is about $300 and the fairing is quite expensive, over $2,000. That’s a big number and many people say, “Why would you put that much money into a DR650?” To which I answer, if you’re planning an adventure trip through remote places like Central or South America, Africa, the Far East, Australia… then I think it wise to consider your ability to repair your bike in these remote locations should something go wrong. The DR650 is well known all over the world, is highly reliable and hasn’t changed in 20 years. That’s why I chose it for adventure travel. The Yenkro fairing, while expensive, is the most transformative, important modification I made to my bike. I love it and can’t imagine the bike without it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@GeordieMac the yenkro makes it look so much nicer. It makes me really consider the Dr as an option for my adventure bike.

@@keithking6951 Definitely! I love the bike and the fairing! If you’re adventure traveling, I highly recommend it. In Mexico, the police in Mazatlán and Guadalajara ride DR650s which is great for two reasons - you know you can find parts and repairs and everyone I met was so friendly and helpful and loved talking about the mods to the DR! It’s an amazing bike and not overly flashy. I’m about to sell my beloved DR…

Thanks for watching and commenting. It is expensive but I can’t imagine doing my trip through Latin America without it.

Not cheap, yes. But, I believe you get what you pay for.

@@GeordieMac Yeah until the bike is dropped I've seen it happen, and I love the product but isn't worth 1600 dollars at all.

@JS-lv5pn well, everyone has their opinions on what constitutes value. I respect your opinion, but I would still defend the Yenkro. I dropped the bike numerous times and had a small crash. The Yenkro was tough as nails and suffered no damage. I stand firmly behind Yenkro and the quality of its design, construction and aesthetic. It’s an amazing addition to the DR650.

@@GeordieMac I love it also and I'd agree it depends on the person.

Hey Dave, thanks for watching. It’s the Montana 700i.

Valid opinion. Thanks for checking it out.

Very expensive to be sure, but in a class of its own.

Keep in mind that just a pair of quality LED (DOT approved) light pods cost aroud $400 USD. I agree it is on the expensive side. I think the quality in craftsmanship and components somehow justify the price.
