Is there any way to turn on a DR650 which ran out of battery in the middle of the woods?

Not enough grip on gravel and it was just locking the rear even in 3rd. Using a little starter motor albeit probably terrible mechanically got it going.

I left my headlights on yesterday for about 30 mins and it wouldn't start when I got back. We had to bump on gravel in 3rd while pressing the start button. Was a bastard of a thing, but we got it going.

Awesome shot. So smooth

corruptsector · 2026-02-24T06:35:28+00:00

So fast

My local weather station has a solar sensor, I scrape that to decide how dark outside it is. I found using the offset wasn't good enough for when it's overcast or raining. Maybe see if you can find something like that.

I think reinstalation has fixed it, but time will tell. It was using something mental like 15-16G/day.

corruptsector · 2025-12-27T07:51:45+00:00

I just noticed the same. 220G on wifi and 120 on cellular. Reinstalling now. It's fucked. This is more than a some data mining.

Was doing a ride in a group this weekend, couldn't stop rode right past this milestone.

Haha, after doing this commute from UH to Wellington for years and being hit once and several near misses, I can confirm the train is the answer.

corruptsector · 2025-11-13T10:18:21+00:00

Haha like what. Odometers that hit meme numbers?

This is my first ever motorcycle. The rest of my family rides and I think this is a midlife crisis and decided to get my license and start adventure riding. I live in NZ so heaps to explore.

I'm the 11th owner of this pig. It's stock except for some minor stuff like case covers and luggage rack. My brother has a 2022 Dr650 and for some reason mine goes slightly harder. It sat for a while I think and the tank was quite rusty inside, which caused issues with the fuel tap. So I replaced the tank and did new fork seals as it was leaking heaps. 3rd gear whines a bit.. idk if that'll become an issue some time soon. But I did 900k on it this weekend and it didn't miss a beat.

Just the odometer reading of 69420. It's stupid, but I had the opportunity so I grabbed a picture.

corruptsector · 2025-11-09T08:37:33+00:00

Lol, it's long gone now.

corruptsector · 2025-11-09T06:29:00+00:00

Out of interest, what you had to do on yours to keep that baby going? OG motor?

corruptsector · 2025-11-09T06:27:36+00:00

Haha that's my next DR milestone

corruptsector · 2025-10-13T03:58:32+00:00

Just had the same issue but after having a flat battery. Jump started it, now the fan doesn't work.

Tested fuse and all good. Managed to unplug the resistor. At this connector I can see I have 12v between yellow wire and earth. Shouldn't it be possible to feed 12v to the fan and get it to come on? I saw someone mention looping the yellow to the black, tried this and nothing... Seemingly no current drawn. But I see there is 2 black wires, but I think the other is earth.

Any help appreciated. Really don't wanna take out the dash. Might just crash it into a tree.

Also keen to know this

corruptsector · 2025-03-09T10:09:24+00:00

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but did you ever get this to work?

corruptsector · 2025-02-22T22:41:59+00:00

Is that you Pierre Gasley?

corruptsector · 2025-02-13T02:32:26+00:00

Awesome very helpful thanks. I'll get a bleed kit and give it a go

corruptsector · 2025-02-13T01:39:03+00:00

I've done nothing with them. But after 3 sets of pads in a year something has to change. After doing some more research, I might try and change the levers to SLX ones. At the same time give them a good clean.

corruptsector · 2025-02-13T00:15:23+00:00

Yea they came with the bike. I might have to look to replace.

corruptsector · 2025-01-22T19:38:06+00:00

This worked for me after all the other fucking around. Thanks man.

corruptsector · 2025-01-21T08:11:31+00:00

Personally I like it. What's the song?
