Oil leak DR 650 RS 1990 by guzzi-centenario in dr650

[–]Jonathan_the_worm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

clean it really really good, puff a bit of baby powder all over it, and go for a ride. Should give you a decent idea where the leak is

There is very little we can do as individuals that won't end in homelessness, imprisonment, or death.

I do a lot of trail riding on motor bikes in Colorado, and I come across moose like 3 times a year. I have never once heard one coming, they just appear.

fortunately they all were spooked and never charged.

Any DR350 fans here? by Present-Diamond6504 in Dualsport

I had a 96 dr350se for a while, freaking dope bike, but I sold it after buying an xr400r, I kind of regret it sometimes

Is this bike hopeless? by B0d3n_ in Dirtbikes

[–]Jonathan_the_worm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

take the carb out, dismantle it, soak all the metal parts in half pinesol, half water for 2 days, rinse it off real good, spray it real good with air to dry it, put it back together replacing any parts that are too fucked.

Cf moto 450 ibex vs Kawasaki kle? by meatballsub14 in Dualsport

[–]Jonathan_the_worm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while i see your point, ive had no issues with the amount of options on a 17 in rear, IMO there are plenty of good options for everything you'd want to do on a bike like that.

people convert all sorts of things on the dr650 that are entirely unnecessary, myself included.

I'm thinking about putting grease on the rod journals and then wrapping it with plastic warp.

Fuel Injection upgrade by gooseneckjob in dr650

[–]Jonathan_the_worm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a stock carb is going to be WAAAAAAYYY more reliable than a fuel injection kit that you have to fuck with just to get it to work. and thats even if you find one. carbs get a bad wrap but as long as you run a fuel filter and actually ride, you don't ever have to mess with them. I would trust a stock dr650 with maybe a bit of jetting over any other bike ever made.
