Suzuki DR 600
 

Hi
Does anyone have any information on mid 80,s
SUZUKI DR600 S,Reliability ? or anything to look out for with them.
Thanks ,ROY

Hi Roy,

I had an '85 DR600S as my first bike, did about 70 or 75.000 km on it.
The first 60.000 were without big problems but after that..
The clutch went at 60.000
the dynamorotor went at 65.000 (includes the CDI sensor, costly ..)
At 67.000 major overhaul with:
Piston + bearing, valves (exh), camshaft + rockerarms.
But thats what you can expect at that mileage.
I was satisfied enough with it to buy a DR again (DR800)
If you buy one, remember to adjust the balancer chain every 6000 km (along with the valves) not al dealers know this has to be done (also goes for the 800)

Regards
Jeroen
