    Mark Felton Production Presents: The DR650 Wunderwaffe. The DR650, often hailed as a "wunderwaffe" of dual-sport motorcycles, owes much of its robust engineering to German innovation. While Suzuki may take the credit for the final product, the origins of the DR650’s cam chain tensioner design trace back to precision-obsessed German engineers. This ingenious mechanism, designed to maintain optimal tension in the timing chain under extreme conditions, allowed the DR650 to operate smoothly even in the most demanding environments. Like many great wartime inventions, the tensioner was developed with a singular focus: to ensure the reliability and longevity of the machine, giving the DR650 its near-legendary reputation as an unstoppable force in both on-road and off-road adventures.

    Just done this on my XF too. Apparently that nylon/plastic idler gear has a maximum intended life span of 25 years so it's probably a job every owner needs to do if they're not sure it's already been done. My old one wasn't quite as brown as yours, I suppose it's the heat - maybe varnish from the oil?? The old gasket was exactly the same as yours, stuck to the cover and took a long time to scrape off. I found brake fluid did much better than anything else at softening it up for removal. The new one went on with a coating of grease on the engine side so I could get it off much easier next time cos it had stuck and ripped in a couple of spots. I just blue Loctited my NSU screws, can't see them moving. Safety wire is really expensive. I live near vineyards and use the Stainless wire they use. A lot cheaper. You can leave the brake lever in place (yes the split pin is a pain) if you take off the 2 springs and the pushrod for the Master Cylinder. I just took the lever off anyway. You're right to mention making sure the clutch lines up with the little oil gears when you slide it back on. I nearly muffed that. The only concern I really had was the circlip retaining the idler gear. The old one (21 years old) spread so I replaced it but even the new one seems looser than it should be on the shaft. Dunno. Hope it stays there. That long wire clip is to hold the back (No. 2) steel plate in place. All the other videos I've watched on this give the impression that it needs removing to do the NSU, but as you demonstrated that's not so. You just remove the whole clutch assembly and keep it together. Put the clutch plates back in the same order as they came out with the No. 2 friction plate on last - it has larger friction pads. Thanks for the video ATB! Your awesome rep is growing ;-)

    • @mattjacomos2795

      Not possible , needles are in the top of the carb and you won't get to all the screws for the carbs without removing the tank and carbs. Tank must be removed for access. If this is your first time, maybe find a friend who has worked on bikes a lot. There is a manual online. Why do you need to adjust the needles? Did you put another exhaust on?

    Grooves are usually from stuck/stiff slide pins on the caliper bracket. People skip clean and lube the caliper slide pins. If it matters, chase out the locktite with a tap and spray out the thread hole with brake clean so the torque is right when putting back with new locktite. Check for stainless with a magnet. Good luck and keep it safe.

    Incorrect. This is why 90% of all falcons and territories have stretched handbrake cables. You need to back that centre connection off, remove rear wheels, adjust the shoes till lock up, back it off a couple turns so the wheels spins at least twice before stopping by itself, then go back to the centre and slowly tighten the joiner whilst continuously checking the handbrake levers action till you get full lock up at 5 clicks.

      The factory manual recommends the engine be on TDC COMPRESSION when the clearances are checked. Also, I saw someone on You Tube do it...The reason would be to keep from changing the cam timing, I suppose. If the valves are being pushed down by the cam, they would end to push on the cam and thus affect the position of the cam chain drive sprocket and the cam timing. Does that make sense?

    • @ronenfe
      @ronenfe 5 месяцев назад

      How does the timing change? Both the primary gear and the camshaft stay in the same position, only the chain gets loose a little bit. Maybe the chain will be too loose and the camshaft will move a link? I don't think it's realistic.

    Hello, great video! I also think I have a problem with the idle on my MX3. when I turn on the headlights, the ventilation or I use the electric windows, the idle is unstable and sometimes the engine dies. Do you think this could be due to poor adjustment or is there a part involved?

    • @mattjacomos2795
      @mattjacomos2795 6 месяцев назад

      Hi, thanks for watching. Unstable idle could be cause by many issues and I'm NOT a mechanic. What is your idle speed? I'd check the ignition timing, then the idle speed, then the Throttle Position Sensor & throttle stop screw setting (I have another video on this). Looking at the workshop manual, erratic stalling could be related to a loose connection in the wiring harness. That's your Distributor, EFI harness and HT leads. The manual recommends "jiggling" the wires while the engine is running to re-create the fault and I'd be checking the earthing sites in the engine bay to make sure that's not an issue either. Remove the ground and use a bit of steel wool to clean it up. The cause could also be a vacuum leak and the intake boot is the most common cause of this. Let me know how you go.

      except for actually working on the bike I agree... It's a bloody good bike as long as you don't need to get to the carbs, which I have had to do multiple times...

    Sometimes this adjusting is not working,if little pin come outh from lach slot.I have had this isu few times,because one wheel was engaged but another one not which take time to remove caliper,rotor and put pin back in slot and brake shoes has springs which will operate properly with nob adjustment. Problem is little pin is in lach 3 or 4 mm and when he come outh adjusment under car is waisting of time which is ford very bad dizajn.

      there was an earlier comment made that the brakes should be adjusted from the rear wheels BEFORE adjusting the cable length as in my video .In another vid I have dived into the rear brake setup and sorted the noise from the brake.

    Hi any info on how to balance carbs on a xf650? Thanks

      @mattjacomos2795 8 месяцев назад

      I haven't done this yet and I think it would be such a bastard of a job, I'm going to get my local dirt bike mechanic to do it! There's a screw in between the bell-mouths that I think you'd have to remove the airbox to get to, (or at least the bell-mouth flanges.) There's no way to get to it from the top or front I can see, and since this is such a bugger of a job, I'm not that bothered about it. The factory manual refers to this as the Throttle Valve Balance Screw, however it is not in the exploded schematic of the carbs! If you have the carbs off the bike already you should take the time to sync the butterflies... I didn't and I'm not that bothered about it. mine runs pretty well, but it IS a bastard to start sometimes...The manual refers to removing the tank and using an auxiliary tank to supply fuel, setting the idle at 1750rpm and then balancing the carbs using this screw in between the bell-mouths. I don't have a "manometer" to balance the carbs either and that's my excuse! Is there a particular reason you feel you need to do this job? here's a link to the manual: www.moto4.ru/downloads/Suzuki_XF650_Freewind_Service_Manual.pdf and the pages you'll need to check out start from 127 -131 of the PDF.

    They are nasty on non XR’s as the ride height is higher and the springs take a lot of effort to compressor. There is a special tool we use but they are expensive. Glad you gave some warning about springs as there’s is a lot of energy stored in them if you take the tops off uncompressed.

    • @mattjacomos2795
      @mattjacomos2795 8 месяцев назад

      First time I did it I ended up taking the shocks to a 4wd place and they had a hard time replacing the springs... I tried using 4x spring compressor on the job and still couldn't compress them enough to remove the springs.

    It’s called the banksia park brake design right here in Australia. Big tip, adjust the foundations (shoe assembly inside the disc ) first and if necessary then the cable. This is for AU-BF For FG-FGX same as before but when doing the cable , pull the cable rearwards as hard as you can first , hold the tension and then adjust the slack in the cable . The reason is these models have a self adjust tensioner in the handbrake lever mechanism, If you look at the park brake levers on the backing plate they shouldn’t have move away from the backing plate in the released position, adjusting the cable is only for taking the slop out the cable and not for pulling the levers out more. If you want more information about Fords in general I’m an ex Ford dealer mechanic, who went out on their own. Big a big thumbs up for your DIY , that’s how you learn (hopefully not from making mistakes)

    I was a proud owner of a BA Egas until someone from not from here ran a red light because in their neck of the woods red mean go. Only problem I had was on hot days you couldn’t fill the gas tank , so I used to go through the s car wash first and then fill up. It’s was like a birthday and Christmas at the same time.

    Hi! How did you diagnose the poor tension, just by the engine sound? Are there other indicators like power loss or anything else?

    • @mattjacomos2795
      @mattjacomos2795 8 месяцев назад

      I took the bike for a spin past the local dirt bike mechanic and he had the opinion that the tensioner may be the issue, given that I had previously inspected the valve clearances AND that there are known issues with the tensioner on these motors. NO power loss noticed. It is a pretty heavy duty HYVO type cam chain on these bikes. I'm going to re do the valve clearances again, but there are plenty of videos on line about that.

    • @mattjacomos2795

      I have counted seven clicks from released, with a firm pull. I couldn't find a spec, but it feels fine there and locks the wheels when moving.

    scan the page that shows the light bulb indicator on the dash means the lights are on, make a bunch of copies and next time you get pulled over give it out as "educational materail" to the idiot Cops!

      FYI, the shit-box started playing up again! This time when you turn the lights on the brake lights come on and stay on, when you turn the lights off, the brake lights respond to the pedal, BUT the dash indicator comes on. Cruise works with lights off, but not with the lights on.... So I reckon the indicator does work for both circumstances... I reckon I have a short in the tail light loom. More video coming soon...

    Yes the dash light is theee to say lights are on, never believe a dumb cop, they know nothing about cars, the other place you can have a problem is the between the plug and lights wiring, they melt together, so pull the cover behind tail light in boot and check the plug behind the grommet.
