I’m modifying the new bike. Learning from the past to make improvements here and there. Lots of parts went to the powder coated this morning. The rear wheel is at Woodys in Denver having work done. The new bike was stripped down and inspected/regreased. This is the first DR650 I’ve seen that had sufficient lubricant applied at the factory. Suzuki is infamous for being stingy with chassis assembly grease. My guess is that this is because, according the the VIN number, the new DR650 was the 8th bike to roll off the assembly line in Japan in 2011. Perhaps it received more attention because of that?
