Heres the place to show off your King off thumpers ( Biggest production single ). And these motors produce the highest hp off any thumper (non turbo production based ) with Up to 94 rear wheel horsepower ( well over 100hp at the crank) in there most modified form, Lets see and hear what you've got. DR800 SR43A 1992. No only bike I have, but I love it.

Bought that DR third hand for 900 Euros, stripped to bits, repainted frame and all bits except plastics (deliberately), bike was mechanically in VERY good shape. With about 60000 km on the clock. No engine work was ever done or needed by now except regular valves and balancr chain adjustments. Well, did some stuff to it: 1. Cut open airfilter and put in jets 132.5 2. Threw out old 14 kg exhaust and replaced with single titanium stock can from Benelli Tornado tre. Link pipe is ugly (try to weld 1 mm wall pipes with stick) but it is hidden.

Threw out clocks and replaced with TrailtechVapor 4. Changed handlebar for WPR one and serious aluminium handguard rails 5. HID headlight 6.

Bought usual crashbars and re-welded them to be really tough. Changed mounting system too.

Front brake replaced with Grimeca 4 pot caliper from Gilera Nordwest, brasked self made literally had to carve from solid aluminium by hand. Replaced brake line with braided one. After all it weights about 180-185 kg dry. Now I think I am at 70 000 km.

Bike never ever dissapointed me, took it for day training at pro motocross track and was surprised to find that even beginner offroad rider like me can ride it just like big MX and DR doing it just soo good that I never dropped it. Sorry - no really recent pictures.somewhere in Thumpers were my photos of bike after all jobs done. On highway it goes all way up to about 160 kmph (100 mph) with no problem (real speed, not speedo measured) and 2 up it hardly noticing load. Suspension is suprisingly good on both paved and offroad.

A bit 'lazy' engine low down because of balancer shafts, but give it a bit rpms and it's flying. I am no big fan of Suzuki, but IMO big DR bike is WAY underestimated and underrated as ADV bike. I have an '88 DR750 I bought from a friend in Canada. This bike has been modified a bit.

The motor has a custom Shadbolt camshaft, rejetted carbs, custom airbox, and a Staintune muffler from a VTR Honda matched to the OE headpipe. The front headlight is from a Honda scooter, and the turn signals and taillight are custom made LED's.

The seat has been recovered over a gel insert and firmer foam. I have a stainless steel front brake line on it now. I am going to fit a better front end to it this winter, and see about having a better rear shock made. And relace the wheels.

Just FYI - to share some of my findings. Wilbers still sell shocks for big DRs. Not the cheapest, but not too expensive either for all adjustable shocks. I got Wilbers on my sportbike and they are brilliant piece of kit. As for the front - perhaps not really big step, but front from DR800 SR43 series is 43 mm forks (thou not cartridge type) and front wheel with 300 mm brake disk and work suprisingly good.

Can be bought off eBay in Germany really cheap. Then Africa Twin front fits too. One of guys I was in contact with put some beefy KTM WP USD front on his DR, but I think this is wrong approach - I saw way too many upgrades to superbeefy forks ending up with simple accident resulting in torn headstock. Because frame was not designed to hold that much force in impact and supebeefy forks = frame fails before forks bend. Also, I been told that KLX650 front is almost bolt-on for big DR, but for which one (750 or SR43 800 or SR43 800) I do not know. Welcome Aboard Guys will catch up soon already got some handy info to think about, had my DR out on beach yesterday a guy on a Yamaha WR426 ask me for a friendly drag said he;d take it easy on me at the start which was his mistake as he coudn;t catch me back once we got moving and I didnt stop till I saw 160kph on speedo ( 100mph) It was raining and I could hardly see so I didnt realize how far back he was, so dont think Im a show off please ( thou I am ). He was most respectfull after that,:eek1 will talk some more latter, Chow.

A little bit offtopic - may be need to be posted to Tenere tread. Before you read this: I actually like new Tenere a lot and really tempted to buy it. Just for information. Believe it or not - I do not know. I am just sharing what I heard.

Literally 2 days ago I found some loads of info about how it lives in real life. We were on big offroad ride with mostly big DRs ( I think about 10 of them?), one KTM 640 Adv, Rally Superten and one XL600 Dakar for all day from 9:30 am to 6:30 PM and were lead by the guy who truly is riding God. He was riding old Tenere (that big tank version, forgot exact name) like he was born on it, on really hard-enduro like terrain and knew every gap in forests around. He somehow was one of like long time official testers for Yamaha on new Tenere and ridden one to its death. He said: very good for soft riding, do not push it.

After he rode it same was as his old Tenere new one had some troubles: 1. Rear flappers, numberplate and all tail fell off. And I think if I understood correctly rear part of frame (subframe?) cracked. Exhaust link pipe-header cracked and broke on left side under pillion 3.

Rear wheel rim cracked 4. Front fender cracked in few places 5.

Footpegs - something was up with them, not sure what.he said it in Dutch and I missed it 6. Even when front fender was OK on water crossings or in heavy rain water was getting straight under front mask and under headlight and literally spraying in his face from hole under headlight. He said it needs small flapper on front forks under mask.

Side stand have tendency to fold and you need to be very accurate and unfold it all the way. Eventually he said that engine is sweet and rear swingarm is great too, forks kinda OK and brakes good as well, and he loved that grey plastic on sides for saving bike from total demolishing. With all that he did not crash it on hard ground at all, he just rode it as he rides his Tenere, he was positive on that. And bike now with Yamaha for some analysis. Perhaps they will be doing some changes or something? Anyway, positive part is that Yamaha guys DO care on what riders think!

For myself I (beginner) found after that ride that DR is SO much more capable than I thought and that changing tires to reall offroad tires, knobby kind is a must to be able to really ride it. My Mefo Explorers became useless moment I was hitting wet mud and clay, which for me (a beginner) was not that confidence-inspiring. Clay made them look like sleeks for Moto GP. Great on other surfaces, bad on mud. Other guys did let me see how Big should really be ridden in forrests and truly rough terrain.By God they were quick!:eek1.

I am really tempted with Tenere, and I think ergos on that bike just PERFECT. But then I will wait till Intermot 2008 (in October, just 1,5 hour drive from my house) and I am feeling I am going to end up with keeping DR+ buying something like WR450F. Unless of course KTM will make 690 Adventure and I will have to hold on for 2 years until they will fix all bugs BTW - if you will ever need any help with DR spares etc. From Germany or other places - ping me, I'll try to help if there is postage/delivery problems etc. Same goes for guys in US with DRs - if you need help just let me know.

Hi all Finaly managed to post after allsorts of login issues. Anyway I'm the proud owner of an 88 DR750(will post pics when I work out how to embed them in the post). Pretty much standard bike alround, swaped it for a 95 BMW f650,I think it was a good deal(still havn't made up my mind yet) find it much more comfortable to ride than the beemer, much better body position when up on the pegs. And the sound it makes is something else, I think it's a standard pipe although theres nothing to compare it to round here.

Havn't worked out how to open up the air box yet, but when I do I'll be back to find out about re-jetting. Anyway I'm happy with the performance for now, and the sound(did I already mention that). Bluesman, I could be in touch re the spares for this bike, not sure what prices are like where you are but I paid $100 nz for an air filter and oil filter which I thought was a bit steep, and I could get parts for the bmw out of the U.K. Myself,cheaper and quicker than going through the local bike shop.
