Issues that affect the 98 and part of the 99 DR650SE year models:

No starter clutch torque limiter- "1998 and early '99 were equipped with a solid idler gear in the starter reduction gear set that created a problem when the engine kicked back during shutdown, breaking out the gear bearing bosses. This also breaks out and destroys the left case half due to its rigid design. The case halves always come in matched pairs and cost in excess of $650US not to mention labor charges to change all internal parts into new cases. This should not be taken lightly. '96 and '97 had the torque limiter gear that is designed to slip due to a preloaded slip clutch arrangement. [Suzuki] went back to this design in mid '99 after vin # X2100561 so if your Vin # predates this you should consider installing this updated item shown above." -quoted from the Keintech website.

Suzuki, just like any other business, looks for ways to save money. Some engineer had a money saving idea that he convinced his boss to go with. The result is grenaded engines with center case breaking destruction with the correct chain of events during shutdown. It's not a reason not to buy a 98 or 99 before S/N X2100561 but you have to make the investment in the torque limiter for around $165US and make that part of the overall cost of the bike when considering these models.

Z tego co widzę ten defekt dotyczy akurat twojego rocznika. W zasadzie mało brakowało a bym kupił tą dr-kę. Byłeś szybszy. Pewnie teraz ta ja bym z tym walczył.
Na szczęście zima nadchodzi. Powodzenia i daj znać jak postępy.

Cholera drogie

Tak się składa że ja jestem specem od TIG-a a do tego mam tokarkę i frezarkę. Także naprawę przeprowadzę samodzielnie. Zapodam relację z naprawy

Problem poprawiony po VIN # X2100561 (pytanie czy >= czy tylko >)



A tomkuchcik to sie teraz nie wywiniesz :> Jakie zamówienia przyjmujesz ? :>
