1,000,000 kms on my DR 650...big service or open heart surgery??
Hi fellow DR fans......
My 2005 dr has had a lovely life and now we are home its time for some work before the next trip.
Shes never used any oil
19-22 km/litre
7-14,000 kms per rear tyre.
30,000kms per chain(scott oiler).
3 sets brake pads.
Just replaced battery.
Valve clearance never moved out of clearances limits.
Broken speedo cable, other cables still original.
Exhaust rocker arm and cam replaced at 64k.....( faulty from manufacture i think as it started ticking at 10,000kms and progresively deteriated, but it never stopped the bike.
Gearbox output shaft oil seal failed at 62,000kms (carry a spare)
The only problem is it jumps out of 2nd now and then.....????
Im thinking of lapping the valves back in and replacing the cam chain and clutch friction plates....
I love the bike its good everywhere and even after all these miles and numerous crashes, some quite fast, it starts first time and never seems to stop......
Any first hand knowledge would be appreciated.....
Tim
