    Would you buy a new old bike? Suzuki DR650SE

    The project, if if gets off the ground, will be based on my bike. The other bike with the trashed engine apparently is being sold in parts or rebuilt at a later stage. Changes for the prospective buyer are only the year model in the papers. WhatsApp me on 0823168502 if you are interested.

    Would you buy a new old bike? Suzuki DR650SE

    Looks like the one bike with the trashed engine is being sold in parts. If this goes ahead it will be a full rebuild of my bike. The original idea was: Rebuild the customer's bike and sell it. She gets good money. I use my old bike as engine parts donor for a rebuildable crank and casings and...

    Would you buy a new old bike? Suzuki DR650SE

    I will only start with the build if I have some one who is interested fro a few different reasons: - I will not rebuild stuff like forks and shock for some one to come along andtell me he wants other springs / other valves... Same for aftermarket accessories. - Same issue with the transmission...

    Would you buy a new old bike? Suzuki DR650SE

    I give 10000km / six months warranty on all work I do. What comes first. A DR650SE does not need roadside assistance. Break down stats of my nine DR650SE with some three quarter of a million kilometres between them since 2000: One bike crashed on Gamsberg pass. Bike was rideable but rider had...

    Would you buy a new old bike? Suzuki DR650SE

    Background: I have a fairly neat but very high mileage 2000 model DR650SE and a customer's wreck with nothing much usable left of its engine. Both bikes are papered and paid up.

    Engine Tune up Honda XRV 750

    Not quite. I had that issue many years ago with my VF1100C. I bypassed the pump when it died and thought I ride the bike on gravity feed and just keep it close to full all the time. The bike would randomly splutter and sometimes die all together from fuel starvation even with the tank filled to...

    Engine Tune up Honda XRV 750

    Generic fuel pumps used to cause all sorts of issues on these bikes. Been there, done that, bought three and had only two working fine. 1983 Honda VF1100C. The pump must be designed to work on a carb with no return feed to the tank. Back in the days Pierburg made nice little rotary vane pumps...

    Screwdrivers - JIS vs PH vs PZ vs ISO8764

    The easy way,used by me for the last three decades, is to use a readily available Pozidriv driver or bit to work on JIS screws. They are virtually identical. The only difference is in the design of the tool tip. The difference is irrelevant this way aroud. A Pozidriv tool will fit into a JIS...

    Paraffin to water down diesel

    1970s Diesel Mercs of my student days ran happily on heating oil. I remember having patched up a badly rusted 200D together with my two cousins in the early 1990s. Finished at 1AM and decided to "quickly" drive down to the Costa Brava in Spain for a few days of beach fun & party. Just to find...
