Best parts already with DR biggers all over the world :lol: and they totalled 4 times that :lol: No problem, I will get what I need one or another way. 500 is realistic IF you need motors/parts/frames/documents/tanks/wheels etc. (there is no such thing as ready-to-go second hand motors - you know wh...

Hey guys, Did not visit forum for long time - was busy riding my Tiger :) I have now whole bunch of parts that my friends from DR Big Russia club were not able to take - because of customs etc. in Russia. Since I need new GPS I am selling whole lot. Price - 500 Euro, definitive. What is there.... 1....

Thank you all for kind words! I hope soon we will have video of our trip to Morocco to share... Unfortunately our only true "action" camera attached to helmet of one of guys was broken off when rider flew off bike head down :shock: He was OK, but his brand new Contour HD...well...So much f...

Just 100% what I need - long distance travel with sometimes good fast roads, sometimes bad roads, sometimes dirt roads/trails but not single-track trails for fully offroad bike...

Colleagues, I am back from 10 days ride in Morocco (great ride) but now it a bit sad. On the way I had trouble with left carb and because of roadside repair mixture got too lean and now when I am back and looked inside engine...I killed it. Result - burned valves, hard deposit scratched cylinder, va...

Beware that Hessler is out on vacation till August 7. He will not be able to process order till he is back...

This is why I bought donor bike and slowly selling parts to finance my DR. Bearings in both my and donor bike are in excellent state. Which is no surprise - taking into account size of bearings. They may well be used on tractors :) Huge :) Donor bike head - exhaust valves seats corroded, but geometr...

447 IF you buy brand new piston. Which you do not have to buy new until you not looked, but measured piston. Unless motor is open nobody can tell state of piston. Only part of cylinder wall. Rings will do. It saves more money on oil :lol: Chains need replacement if they need replacement. Chains in &...

I have bought "donor" bike for my DR800. It is DR 800 SR43A, 91, 36000 km but spent years in hands of french owner (who of course tried to "make it better" using cheap shit :lol: ) and standing outside. Lot of rust etc. but I am using almost only motor. Lot's of parts I will not ...

en dan niet vergeten het veertje te vervangen.

May I also ask for this adress? I need exhaust valves seats re-ground...

My DR made exactly same sound when spring in camchain tensioner failed.
You better check if tensioner working by unscrewing plug bolt, inserting screwdriver and carefully checking if you get some resistance when turning it.

Yep, I will be buying "tuning" version of spring from Stefan. I can't trust this Suzuki spring - it even looks unreliable.

Oil level must be measured on warm engine, 5-10 minutes after it's stopped. Less than 5 mins may produce incorrect results. 20w50 is not a big problem. It's 20 at ambient temperature which makes it a bit harder to start but still 50 at working temperature. As long as it is not expensive and fully sy...

update Disassembled motor. Both chains are OK. Cylinder OK. in fact everything is OK except bent valves and marked (by valves) piston. EXCEPT F..NG camchain tensioner SPRING!!!! It broke and tensioner got retracted and camchain came loose and that's it. For 125 000 engine state is amazingly good. In...

Motad Desert Bars for Africa Twin adapted for DR.
Made of stainless pipe. No more made for few years. Can be found on eBay at around 175-200 Euro.

Gentlemen, Since my VTR does not get enough use I decided to sell it. I know it is not DR, but if anyone interested. It is not "usual" options bike. It has very serious suspension upgrade, exhaust upgrade, 19 liter tank, luggage frames etc. etc. Here it is. I consider that cheap, but I can...

I agree...in my case no hitting casings etc. but camchain had a bit more slack than I wanted. Balancer chain was really one that worried me. And we all know about other mistakes in manual - like valve clearances for old 750 that are completely wrong. I still do not know for sure what happened. Engin...

Yes, I was surprised too. I measured chains for limit before that last trip - camchain was still in limit, balancer chain was on last border of limit. I actually was worried about balancer chain more. But I did not rely on sounds (thou you are right), I was deliberately "following the book"...

thank you! It was great ride, with that suspension and Beringer brakes and on supermoto wheels with Supercorsa I pushed DR more than I pushed my sportbike :) I planned to rebuild motor anyway - 125000 km is a lot ;) BTW - guys, I can confirm that Sardinia is paradise for DR offroad. For type of offr...
