nice looking firebird/trans am in back.

I read the seat sucks that true?

[Nascarlee]

For the DR or the Trans am? lol

The DR seat isn't the greatest, but it's really not all that bad at all. Corbin makes a really nice Gel seat just for DRs

[Nascarlee]

Dragon, the bike is heavy for a dual sport, it doesnt matter if its street legal its still a dirtbike and they could've made it lighter

[gamer025]

beautiful bike. are these any good for highway cruising? i want to do some highway trips when i get a bike.

[Nascarlee]

yep. Runs smooth at 65-70. Any more than that then it starts to rev higher

Excellent bike, I have mine DR 650 SE 2008 model is a powerful machine!

@Radman916 The Suzuki 650 Dr Is As Big As About The Size Of A 250 Dirt Bike Where As I Find The KLR Is Huge O_O The 650 Dr Is A Much Better Looking Bike For The Same Amount Of Power ;]

So why did you choose the DR650se over the DR-Z400s? I picked the DR-Z400s over a BMW G450X because of better reliability and serviceability (the Bimmer requires an engine rebuild every 70 hours or so at a minimum) and a Husky TE630 because the closest dealer was 2.5 hours away so servicing the bike would have been a nightmare.

Curious about your reasons.

Nice bike. You're a lucky dude. I'm envious & especially like the rear rack you installed. Change the oil often & you'll have a bullet proof bike that will provide you with years of smiles. I ride a Honda XR650L. The Suzuki & Honda are quite similar & my first choice for a 650 dual sport before the ubiquitous KLR650's.

@texascivic good point there mate... u can't please every one,

[samurai50062]

I love this motorbike

[jtf814]

which is the better bike klr 650 or dr 650 overall

[hatchi58]

@gamer025 Ive had mine for a few weeks and I can tell you that if you want to ride on the highway you need to adjust the pilot jet screw located in front center of the float bowl.

The screw is blocked by a brass plug mandated by the epa. just drill it out and adjust the pilot in about 1/4 turn to start. you will notice a huge increase in power as the factory settings are intentionally restricted. I just did mine last night and i am seeing a difference of about 25kms available in each gear.

I just bought an 09 today. I like the spedo on yours better. I have owned 2 klr 650's and decided I wanted to try something a little lighter. How is the top end on it?

Nice bike. I want to get a DR 650 myself for exploring. Being a short guy I'll need to have the seat lowered to 33 inches. I'm wondering if you also had that done since your bike has a side kick stand?
