Devils Creek DR: Armor FZ-09
http://devilscreekdr.blogspot.com/2017/01/armor-fz-09.html
Sunday, January 1, 2017. As if I didn't have enough blogs going on.have you seen my fishing blog? I started a new one today: Armor FZ-09. I'm about three days from taking delivery on a 2016 Yamaha FZ-09. After spending 2016 just on dual sports, I was jonesing for a (cheap! Road bike. I think the FZ will take care of that. The "Armor" is in reference to the armor gray color of this model. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). West Central Florida, Florida. View my complete profile. AMA Dual Sport Series.

Devils Creek DR: Dunlop D606
http://devilscreekdr.blogspot.com/2016/12/dunlop-d606.html
Sunday, December 25, 2016. I've been running Shinko Crossfly E-804/805 on the DR650. I have been very happy with the E-805 rear. I'm not particularly happy with the E-804 in the sand.and we always have to deal with sand on our trails. In fact, while not entirely the tire's fault, I took a fall in May on this bike in a sandy rut and the damage to my knee pretty much screwed up my entire 2016 season. I can't think of too much else I need to do to get the DR650 trail ready. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Devils Creek DR: April 2016
http://devilscreekdr.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2016. Suzuki DR650 Engine Temperatures. I carried my infrared thermometer along on my ride today with an eye toward getting some engine temperature readings on my new 2016 Suzuki DR650S. The DR650 is air cooled but also has a very decent sized oil cooler. It does not have an engine temperature gauge, though, so I have no idea what temps the motorcycle runs at. Thought I'd take a few minutes out of my ride to take some readings. The way I did the test was to sustain the test-speed rang...

Devils Creek DR: July 2016
http://devilscreekdr.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 23, 2016. What's a Bush Pig? Thursday, July 21, 2016. I finally got around to purchasing a couple key blanks for my 2016 Suzuki DR650. The motorcycle came with two keys. I keep one stored away. Normally, I carry a third spare key on the bike somewhere in case I lose the key on the road, although, of course I've never done that.wink, wink. I got an extra blank so my son can have a key. Price: $2.94 each x 2 = $5.88. Total: $7.92 for two blanks. Labels: 2016 Suzuki DR650 Key Blank. The only ...

KamoKLR: May 2016
http://kamoklr.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 24, 2016. Again, similar to the Doo Upgrade, there are so many online videos and tutorials for doing the Thermo-Bob upgrade that I won't bore you with all my details. It was an easy modification. Here's what came in the package from Watt-Man. Also, the thermostat is mounted externally in the Thermo-Bob Housing with a channel that routes water back to the water pump for rerouting through the engine, as opposed to the stock stet up where hot water is just directed to the radiator. And here's a...

KamoKLR: March 2016
http://kamoklr.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2016. Firestone Coil-Rite Air Springs (F4174). I recently purchased a hitch carrier for my 2016 Kawasaki KLR650 and determined that the weight of the carrier and the motorcycle (521 pounds combined) was a little much for my 2007 Toyota Rav4. After doing some research I landed on a fairly cheap air spring package, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Springs. Part Number F4174; about $105 at eTrailer.com. Some reviews indicated that the instructions are poorly written and insufficient. That...

Devils Creek DR: DR650 Death Wobble
http://devilscreekdr.blogspot.com/2016/08/dr650-death-wobble.html
Saturday, August 20, 2016. Well, it looks like I'm going to have to say so-long to my Laminar Lip Speed Screen. My 2016 Suzuki DR650 has developed a severe death wobble and I've concluded that the vast majority of the problem is the Laminar Lip. I really liked that screen when trekking between riding sites, but the alternative is a steering damper and those things run $500 and up. I pain $90 for the screen, but I'm just going to have to pack it away and maybe it'll be useful on some other bike. P...No 49...
