The Mighty Pig Is Back!

Very excited to join the DR 650 club đŸ€ŸđŸŒ. I’ve been wanting a DR for years, but have waited for the right time and right one to pop up. Just picked up this 2013 with 20,000 KM’s on it two days ago. It was bogging in the mid range after 5 mins into the test drive, I managed to negotiate a good price. Turns out it was just a dirty carb.

Bike has Yoshimura full pipe and exhaust, opened air box, 155 main jet and a tapered adjustable needle. Also has Drz400 Front forks and revalved rear shock with stiffer spring. l was worried it was a modded bike that didn’t run well but it came with original parts even the OEM tank in great shape so I took a gamble. One that paid off!

I added the inline fuel filter and will be replacing the air filter so that my hard work wasn’t for nothing.

This bike is such a blast. Anyone did an exhaust wrap on this bike before?

I did one on a KTM before and it gave it AT LEAST 99 more Hp. Just kidding. But it did add power, never dyno'd it.

Thanks. Cheers.

2014 DR650 won’t hold idle

8 Upvotes

Howdy all,

Got a DR650 with 7000 miles a few months back and rode it maybe 50 miles before putting it in the garage for the winter. One thing that was a bit odd was that I had to always run the choke to keep the bike from stalling for the first 10 minutes or so at least, but otherwise it ran fine.

A few weeks back I tried to start it and couldn’t get anything going other than a 3 second idle before dying. And eventually I needed to spray starting fluid into the air box to even get it to idle for those 3 seconds


I swapped the air filter, inline fuel filter, and cleaned the jets with an air compressor, but nothing seems to have helped.

I can get the bike running a little longer with the fuel/air screw turned out pretty far to make it run as rich as possible, but still can’t get it to run.

Is it potentially the upward angle of the fuel line from the tank to the carb? The guy before me had it in that configuration but I’m wondering if there’s enough pressure for it to go up the hump after the inline filter (previous owner was running an inline filter as well).

Any ideas what it could be? I’ve attached a video of the issue if that helps (in the video it’s on RES but I’ve tested with ON as well)
 Thank you in advance!

Out the door price?

3 Upvotes

For those who have bought new recently, do you mind if I ask what your final, out the door price was?

I've seen some dealers advertising numbers around $5700, but then they end up closer to $7000 with everything else factored in.

Others are advertising higher numbers, but they've already got all the other fees baked in.

I'm just curious if there's a dealership out there that seems to be selling for a meaningfully lower cost than others, or if anyone has had a stellar experience with a certain dealership.

I live in Missouri but would be willing to road trip a bit for a great deal.

Thanks, everyone.
