So this Leovince X3 came on my DR and it is obnoxiously LOUD. The is just a gaping hole at the end of the pipe, no insert.

How am I supposed to add one ? The 3 screws are not present for a sandwich style insert, and the exhaust exit has no hole on the bottom to screw a tube style insert.

Am I missing something ?

We can’t let these roads get closed.

The perfect bike for BC roads, pavement twisties to dirt mountain passes. Planning to put some snobbier tires on it and improve suspension in the future. I’ve bought and sold a lot of bikes but I can’t imagine ever selling this one.

Hi all,

I've been having this problem for a while now and thought it would clear up with the next carburettor clean, but it hasn't.

My 2006 DR650, is having problems at wide open throttle (WOT). While accelerating onto the highway, the bike will momentarily run at WOT, then cut out and start bucking until I roll off the throttle, where it immediately roll starts and continues riding normally (not at WOT).

I haven't done a full rebuild of the carb, only a few cleans. The bike's fueling, engine and exhaust are still stock. The previous owners have drilled the slider, deleted the carb filter, but the needle and spring look stock.

What could be going on? How can I trouble shoot this, preferably without buying parts? What would be the fix?

Hi there! I’ve installed a new (lower) rear brake pedal to match my lowered footpegs. All seems good except that there is a lot of lateral free play on the new pedal; more than I remember on the stock one.

Does it look normal to you guys? Anything I can adjust on those to make it less wobbly?

Thanks!

I’m only 70kg and have very lightweight camping gear from Bikepacking, was wondering if it is worth doing a suspension mod if I have rear panniers with the usual tent and camping equipment.

Only just bought the bike so am learning, friend suggests the mod, however, doesn’t own a DR so doesn’t know their factory ‘set tings’

Plan to do road touring as well as a few off-road trails as round scenic rim (Queensland Australia).

Thanks for any help :)

I’m a noob when it comes to carb jetting and everything. I understand how carbs work and have worked on them before but not sure what I need to do for high elevation riding. The previous owner put the jet kit in although i’m unsure of the exact kit i think pro cycle. I know these bikes will ride ok high elevation when stock but what do I need to do/be aware of with the jet kit? I’m on a long distance trip and will be going over the big horns 9600ft pass very soon. Will it be serviceable without doing anything? And if not what exactly do I need to adjust? thank you!

What mods should I do ?
I’m 100kg and 6’3 so suspension probably?
Any other bits I should do.
Will be used in sand and gravel roads in WA.
Cheers.

Now that I'm high off my ass on gas fumes and carb cleaner, how high are yall setting float height?

I have been having an issue where the bike stalls at slow and constant speeds.

Plugs look good, all the jets are clean and I have no fuel filters clogged.

Tank vent is working fine and the issue doesn't change with the cap off.

Only thing I can think is that the float isn't right so I checked and it seemed low but that would cause it to be rich right?

SOLVED: It was the float height, think it was a couple mil too low and caused it to run lean across the range. Running strong now and the idle is much better.

Hello! I'm working on jetting my DR I bought last year where the owner converted the bike back to stock before selling.

I've added a FMF Q4 slip on, removed the snorkel (didn't drill extra holes) and added changed the jet to 150 from the Dynajet kit the old owner bought from Procycle.

I was in the process of switching over to the dynajet needle and realize the small metal washer pictured on the site is missing . While doing research I see where some kits come with a plastic washer with one of the sides sanded flat. Did the jet kit I have not come with one because the needle is shorter than the stock one?

Just trying to figure out if I need to get a stock plastic washer and grind it down or look for a thin metal washer like what the kit came with.

Here's a simple solution to getting your wheel off the ground so you can oil your chain. Learned this trick from a friend of mine. I'm sure there are YouTube videos on it as well. Probably should start with a heavy duty rated squeeze clamp. I think this one is 300 lb clamp. I think you can get a two pack for like 25 bucks that most Hardware stores.

I have a slightly snug 3 fingers of slack in my chain right behind the slider and i can get a finger in under the chain on top of the slider and can still pick it up about a half inch or a touch more. Too loose? Too tight? I know there’s measurements but have always been told to just do it by eye. As a beginner id like to have piece of mind that i have everything right

Just need a 14T front sprocket, and to mount Zeta handguards and heated grips. SO CLOSE!

Hi all,

Im replacing the main swing arm pivot bearings and just want to confirm the depth to press these in.

I measure my old ones a 5mm deep into the swing arm. However, i also noticed there was a shoulder on the inside in the swing arm

Question is, do i press to the shoulder or do i press 5mm into the swing arm tube

Service manual does not mention a depth for these bearings

Thanks again

Hi everyone, after riding my dad’s 23’ model, there is a weird chatter in the engine that I don’t hear on mine which is an 09. His only has 400 miles on it as well. It drives completely fine but revving/down shifting, you can hear that chatter pretty distinctly. Is this normal or what could it be? Thanks.

Is the 2026 DR650 the last year?

What are you guys using for a heat guard under the tank?

I feel like I'm losing abit* to evap on hot days.

Hi all,

I ground down the inside weld on the stock header recently and the bike seems to be faster or at least feels like it gets to 100 kmph (~62 mph) faster than before. Procycle jet kit kn the carb. Low end grunt doesnt seem to be affected.

I saw this further mod of filing down the lip inside the exhaust port on youtube.No real feedback in the comments of this video.

Curious if anyone here has done this and feedback.

I have a dominator muffler and mid pipe so guessing this would make it a free flow exhaust.

Thanks.

Thanks

Been spinning it for 5 minutes it won't come out. Sliver of metal fell out. What do.
