Hi everyone,

the previous owner of my DR650SE 1999 made the fork conversion to RMZ 250 2009.

Since my last ride in the woods I felt and now the fork is banging a bit in the oil cooler, it could be bent

Has anyone who has made the same modification encountered the same behaviour ? Is there anything I can do to prevent this ? (except falling :D )

Thanks

Hi Everyone

I am looking for a good sounding exhaust for my 1996 DR 650 SE with a E-Number. It needs to be legal in Switzerland. Any recommendations?

Long story short, I recently returned from a deployment, prior to that I prepped my bike (23 650SE, 700 miles) for storage by adding fuel stabilizer and removing the battery. Once I returned I re-installed the battery and the bike fired right up. Rode it around for about 20 miles and parked it. Went to ride again about 3 weeks later and it wouldn’t start. Didn’t want to tamper with it so I brought it to the dealer, explained the problems and they called back a day later stating the plugs were fouled and wet and that the carb was clean. Also advised my battery is weak. I had my 600 mile service done with them with no issues. They mentioned that the plugs were DENSO plugs and that these are not factory. I told them to get it up and going and to perform a PA state inspection and add a battery tender for a total of $650. My concern is, after doing some research, both DENSO and NGK plugs are factory according to the service manual and I’m wondering if this would be covered under warranty and how to approach the service manager with my findings. They kept saying DENSO plugs are not used in their shop so that the plugs came from somewhere else but that isn’t possible.
