It is indeed. Also she's never looked better. I wish she'd looked/run so sweet when I bought her.

Do we know the new owner ?

No, he's a lovely bloke though. I don't think he rides off road much he just likes the riding position. He currently rides a DR650 '94. He took my SM wheels too.

A couple of my mates and I met today at a local bike shop so he could get an MOT, we then set off to a local lakeside café to get a coffee but on the way he diverted down this lane

I got them to stop so I could take the photo because as we were riding I realised that after more than 30 years riding together it was the first time that we were all riding Suzuki's at the same time.

Engine, frame, wheels, nearly everything really. Here's a website that explains the history quite well........ http://www.suzukicycles.org/DR-series/DR650.shtml

Hello all,

Thanks to Bob for advice on the Arrow exhaust fitment on my DR350......works lovely!

Picture from Friday....

I think the clutch needs looking at, it's not smooth engaging. Is there a bodge to hold the basket rather than buying a tool when removing the whole thing to check thrust washers etc. The bike has 11500 miles on it......I'll check the plates for thickness and steels for warpage but might as well strip it all back and check the washers!

All the best

Ash

Its only a flat bit of bar with 2 holes in it but long enough to catch the footpeg , be gentle though the bolts are only in ally stems
