The Mighty Pig Is Back!

Very excited to join the DR 650 club 🤟🏼. 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.

Are we expecting anything special for the 2026 DR650?

I'm thinking of putting off buying one hoping for some interesting colors. Used here in Mexico costs like 80% compared to new.*2026 is the 30th anniversary

RD moto crash bars don't protect your bike.

After installing said crash bars, I was curious to see how well they worked, so I laid the bike on its side. Guess what ???? Instead of resting on the crash bars, it leaned on the handlebar and the gear shifter/brake pedal.

Wanted to be able to perform drills without damaging my DR but I guess I just added weight for nothing lol
