MeefZah Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I bought this a month or so ago and am not falling in love with it quite like I'd hoped. It's a fine motorcycle, not a thing wrong with it, I just don't particularly want it as badly as I did before I bought it. I'm sure some of you fellow bike whores can appreciate those feelings. 2002 Suzuki DR650S 5700 miles and countingUpgrades include:IMS 4.9 gallon natural color tank (OEM tank and petcock included)Renthal 7/8 aluminum barsTPI 2" bar risers14-T front sprocket (OEM 15-T included)Moose rear fender bagMoose air filterChain roller removedSafety switches removedNew Yamaha WR 250 R mirrors (OEM ones available for swap out if you want)New Yamaha WR 250 R starter button and kill switch (more tucked away than the OEM unit)Acerbis Rally Pro II handguards Utah / Ricochet skidplateTPI magnetic drain plugTPI rear brake master cyclinder guardIMS Super Stock pegsHeadlight off switchSAE / Battery Tender connectorNewer batteryNewer oil and filter (at 4700 miles)Brand new Cheng Shin 858 tires and tubesCarb air / fuel mix plug drilled out, screw set to 2 turns out; needle shimmed with 1 #4 washer, snorkle removed2 keysBox of some OEM and takeoff partsADV stickers, including the very rare Ohio ADV sticker! :lol3 Ohio title in hand, Ohio registration through December 2009, WV inspection through 2010.The bike runs and looks cherry. There are some scrapes on the right side barkbuster from a drop done by the previous owner. No other damage. Mechanically sound. Starts like right now, and pulls like a freight train.I'm in central Ohio, 40 miles north of Columbus. I'm happy to deliver it to 100 miles for free, and would go beyond that up to about 400 miles one way for a mileage based fee.$3000 The only trades I'm interested in involve those with Benjamin Franklin, Ulysses Grant, and other distinguished dead Americans. Below photos were taken 9-30-09, the bike was ridden in a light rain earlier today and some road dirt is visible on the DR. Sorry. It got way to cold to clean it before the pictures were taken.I can be contacted at markmeftah@yahoo.comThanks! -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeefZah Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Don't forget to turn your fuel off.If I keep it I'm gonna add a note to "turn fuel on", stalling 1/2 mile from the house gets annoying as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 How does it compare to a KLR? This is exactly what I'll be in the market for if someone picks up my R6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4junkie Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Better off road.Oh, and you don't get the 'klr owner' stigma. this is a good thing. How would it compare to a KTM 525 EXC, for example, oh sage of dirty things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 How would it compare to a KTM 525 EXC, for example, oh sage of dirty things?Depends what you wanna do.If you want to saddle up and ride the TAT, DR wins.If you want to tackle some nasty single track, Katoom wins.If you want a great do-it-all bike with a decent maintenance schedule, DR wins.

MeefZah Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 In the world of 650-class dual sports, from dirty to most streety, the list goes:Husky TE610XR650LDR650KLR650It's a little lighter than a KLR, a lot more reliable (no doohickey, air cooled), less wind protection, but otherwise in the same general class.It is not a "street legal dirtbike". It's a dual sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeefZah Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Surely someone wants to buy this thing?If anyone wants a street oriented ride and doesn't want the off road add ons, I would be willing to defarkle it and return it to factory specs, and drop the price significantly to account for that.

buildit Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'm surprised no one has mentioned the ability to motard the DR yet. Especially all the people whinning about how they want a motard.Here's an example I found online of a 03 converted motard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
