As it starts to cool off and get dark is the best time for a ride. Little warm little cool. Good scenery
Damn! Everyone in your house is getting a new motorcycle. Happy Labor Day to you and Jess.
Very cool. With proper maintenance they will run for many many miles.
This is Dan with the from the ADV Fest. Well, Jordan, I am glad that you found one, and looks like its ready to go on a BDR. I spoke with Jess at Sturgis and she said you were looking for one. I love mine as it always puts a smile on my face and goes anywhere I need it to take me. I hope to see you next year in South Dakota.
Thanks so much Dan, you definitely sent me down a rabbit hole! 🤣 I’d say I would never financially recover from this but the bike is so affordable and easy to work on it’s been a great addition so far! I’m not lying when I said you were largely the determining factor to buy this bike, thank you 🙏🏻
@@JordanRay Well, I hope you get as many smiles and miles out of it as you can. They are so reliable and easy to work on. I finally saw your other video as well, and glad you finally took it out that day.
Enjoy. As a long term DR650 owner I can say they get under your skin. Mines going 790 kit soon.
Congratulations!! Those DRs are fantastic bikes!! I had put one of those Acerbis tanks on mine back when I had one, increased my mileage to well over 200 miles per tank!
I’m curious to see how far I can go! Currently at about 120 miles at half a tank 🤣
@@JordanRay plenty!!
much better choice than the himalayan
Good choice, i have the 390, but it doesn’t h e the clearance you do. I had a knee replacement this last month and the surgeon said I should stay away from the gnarly stuff so the 390 will be fine for me. Plus it always seems to make me smile.
It was a real contender, lot of capability with that little bike.
If the upper chain roller is still there, remove that ASAP and replace with a set screw locktighted in. Many reports and photos of roller removing itself AND a chunk of the frame with it. The roller is too close and gets way too much force on full suspension compression. LED headlight is a must. My stock one was absolute garbage. I get pretty much get all my parts from Procycle...they have everything! Enjoy the bike!
Congrats! I bet you will have fun with that one. I can't believe how they hold their value.
Yeah! The 400’s are almost half the price. But the highway capability is so convenient and on a light bike.
The KTM 390 Adventure is amazingly capable off road. I loved the TFT dash, computer modes switchable ABS, fully adjustable suspension. They are not cheap.
After just a few months I sold it. I decided I’m just not as adventurous as I used to be.
Great bike very good choice. Ties I really like the Bridgestone ax41 s there is alot of us. Your welcome to and go riding . Cheers to ya.
Great bike lots of grunt ..I think your really going yo like this ... now to get a beer and watch your video .
Congrats on the new motorcycle! The DR650 looks good! Literally has all the stuff you would want/need on it.
That is an excellent choice and it looks like you got a good one, congratulations!
I used to know a guy who put 125K on one of these motorcycles. He ended up selling it to another guy in his small club who put another 50K on it, and then I lost track of it. Kind of keep an eye on your wheel bearings as the miles add up. He also had an old school upholstery guy build a much better seat for it, one that would easily last all day. It was flat with gel and really good quality foam. His bunch of riders, stayed off of paved roads, and would ride from coast to coast on almost all dirt roads. These guys were not youngsters either, mostly 60 and over. He did the same thing earlier with a KLR, but liked the DR better because of it`s simplicity and less weight.
Best thing about buying a used adv bike, most of the upgrades have already been done!!!
I like the stock tank. For sure, I would change out the tank. For the most part, I don't think you need to be carrying all that gas. Sweet bike....
Congrats, Jordan the DR650 is a great choice. It looks like whoever owned yours previously did a nice job with it.
It's a good choice parts are easy to get. They really haven't changed it since it came out
Jordan I had one of those front fork brace is all that bike ever needed front end sucks brace needed. with out brace alot death wobble good score on the bike looks good have fun ,
Good to know, thanks!
The DR is a great bike you have some nice additions to it as well. I do consider the DR a dual sport and not an ADV bike though. The 21” front wheel, lighter weight and no fairing “stock” kind of makes it a DS in my book.
I ride a Pan America as my adventure bike and a WR250R as my dual sport bike. I think you may like some kind of rackless luggage that holds it in tight to the bike and low . It really makes the bike handle better off road and on road too. I pack for 5 days camping in my 40l set up easy.
Those Tusk D-sport tires are really pretty good tires they are cheap $120 a set delivered to my door and durable too. Check out the reviews.
Looking forward to what you do with it and where you ride.
I was going for something that could do highways for short bits, and BDR’s if I wanted. Simple
@@JordanRay you nailed it then the DR is a great bike for just what you describe. I did the MABDR this last April on my Pan America it’s a great trip. You also have the SOAL or southern Ohio adventure loop. Lots of great tracs out there. Check out ADV Rider forum.
Congratulations on the new machine, looking forward to seeing how you like it on the channel!
The DR650 is the median between the KLR650 and the XR650L. Not as good on the road as the KLR, not as capable off roas as the XR650L. So a pretty safe choice. If you're going to do a lot of traveling to different altitudes I'd suggest a Lectron carb, it's almost like fuel injection. No rejetting necessary when the altitude changes. It's pricy though.
You hit the nail on the head! I’ve considered Lectrons for my sportster for a while but it costs half the price of what the bike is worth 😂 sound great though, maybe one day.
Nice bike Jordan ! Can't wait for your next adventures with it ! Cheers ! 😃
great find. Glad you got what you wanted.
I have a 2011, cruise 85mph on the highway geared 14-46 with a 520 conversion. The 520 makes it easy to find a good chain reasonable. 520 conversion is bolt on using a JT JTR822-XX rear steel sprocket (XX= tooth count) and a JT JTF 438-XX front or preferably a Fritzco sprocket which provides more spline contact area. Toss the upper chain roller, plug the hole or not, and put an All Balls 79-5001 roller on the lower position. This setup has been trouble free running RK XSO xring chain or EK oring chains. Might want to consider the Suzuki countershaft seal retainer, 24751-32E00 and a new chain buffer 61273-13E01. If you use the JT front sprocket you will need to remove the flange on the sprocket retainer plate for any size under 15 teeth. I'm running a 4.9 gal. IMS tank. Great choice of bike, solid compromise between street and dirt!
Lotta good info, thanks!
That's awesome! My husband had one of those for years
You and the wife should come to Missouri and do the Adventurepalooza rally
Nice to have found one with the goodies already on it.
Looks like something you'll have fun riding. Thanks for sharing. Much love. Stay safe and healthy.
Great bike. Great add ons too. Are used to see a ton of these on Turkey runs and some Enduro’s up in New England.
Congratulations on your new bike 😊
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Great bike. Apocalypse ready!
Congrats on the new bike jordan its awesome can't wait for the next video
Solid bike, but upgrade the lights, you will be thankful at night
Congrats on the new bike! Excellent choice........................Cheers!
Nice purchase Jordan. Great all rounder.
Excellent choice, I had one, great engine and an amazing hill climber!
Sweet bike. I think you made the right decision on the bike. I just think adventure bikes are way to heavy for proper offroad handling.
Congratulations on the new bike. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You bought a great bike. My buddy bought one before we did the TAT. Zero problems. If you don't know what the TAT is you'll have to look it up, Unfortunately, we only got about 1100 miles of it completed then I had to go back to work. but someday I hope to finish it.
Looks like Gordita is still in the garage! Congrats on the new bike! 🎉
It is!
Nice one Jordan. DR650's are pretty well bullet proof.
Great Choice! Torque monster & plenty fast!
She's got all the stuff on a great stuff Good choice Jordan.🖤💯😊👍
Nice! Well done. I bet you will have fun on that!
Awesome man, welcome to the dual sport crew!
Congratulations Jordan. I'd love to own it. Now to are ADV set!
hear you loud and clear
Congrads on the new bike Jordan i hope it will bring you many miles of smiles stay safe
Must do: A bigger foot on the side stand for off road parking.
Nice to have: Heated grips.
There a lot of fun
Congratulations on the new bike!
Hey bro, i have an old suzuki v-strom, you wont go wrong with an old suzuki i tells ya!
Just a small mod suggstion, try an Atlas throttle lock, they aren't like a normal throttle lock, it has a push button on/off and you can still move it if you need to.
I use one on the highways here and its a game changer on long trips.
As for tyres depending on how agressive you want to get I'm using shinko 705s on my bike for gravel and dirt roads, they are cheap as dirt and work pretty good! If you want to go heavier i would go to the 804 and 805s.
I chew through tyres fast ( about 7000-9000km) even with expensive ones so the shinko has worked out pretty good.
They are a bit slippy in the wet though
Congrats Jordan.... I'd definitely lose the Ram phone mount. Those rubber tips come off and you'll lose your phone.
Definitely! And thanks 🙏🏻
Congratulations Jordan‼️
Excellent choice, apocalypse bike! Hope you have a ton of great adventures.
I've been looking at the same thing! Solid choice.
Congrats Jordan enjoy your new ride
Congrats, cool looking bike. Replace the tires. Jayman...
Congratulations! I just got a new bike this week!
Nice choice, it should do the trick. Someone put a lot of great parts on it. You may look into Moskomoto Reckless 10's for luggage for day rides. It keeps the weight down low instead of having the weight above the seat height. It makes a big difference on handling. It still allows for lighter gear, such as jackets and such to be secured on top. I run the Reckless 80's for longer trips, but the 40's may make more sense.
Tires are a personal compromise. Aggressive tires are noisy on the street, but give excellent traction off road, not just forward traction, also side to side. It becomes noticeable when running over rocks, they tend not slide off the side of them as much, gives a much more stable ride. If you are not off road much the noise may not be worth it. Look forward to hearing your adventures, dualsport riding is my passion, I have the mended bones, and scares to prove. Thanks for sharing.
I’m shocked how cheap the Tusk Dsports are aswell! For the price I don’t mind the life span for the offroad performance. We’ll see once we get out on some two track, if not I did like the Mitas E07’s I had on my sportster for the Mabdr.
@JordanRay Makes sense, I imagine you are going to have a blast, you picked a great bike. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice, Jordan! I’m also looking at used DS bikes
Congratulations! Nice bike!
Congratulations!
I really enjoyed my dr650. They are fun bikes.
Congratulations
Hay, very cool. Good luck. Enjoy
Beatiful Ohio country side great footage Jordan,love the bike congrats 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it! That was north east Ohio down through some amish country. Roads were actually really nice considering the amount of snow they get up there
I’ve been thinking of one of those, ride it a lot and give us reviews please
Congratulations! The bike fits your style…IMHO
I think so too!
Congratulations on choosing a dual sport. Here is a list of what I would recommend. 1) Replace both tires due to the date code. 2) Weld a larger kickstand foot on it. 3) Better headlight, I do seem to be the furthest from home when it gets dark. 4) O-ring chain and sprockets set, old and dried out orings tend to fail pretty quickly even if re lubed.
Again Congratulations.
Thanks for the tips!
have fun, as always ride safely. Peace.
Awesome bro nice purchase 👌 your off road adventures will be much more fun now. Can we expect some moto camp trips?
I think it will be a couple day trips for now, but I would love to get back out on the MABDR, there’s a couple adv routes Ohio I want to check off my list.
Congratulations nice bike Jordan
A lot of my mottovloggers are getting new bikes. Must be a sign, lol. Nice bike brother I would definitely look into getting something like that in the future.
Well ‘new’ to me 😊 this bike cost as much as some peoples down payments.
Nice bike! Congrats!!
Congrats, nice ride
Nice bike
Congrats man!
Nice bike, future fun.
Love it!
Well ,looks like Jess is int the only one in the household with a new toys in the garage ..lol congrats Jordan ..
Been almost 5 years since I got my sportster. It was time to expand a little.
Hell yea. Nice bike.
Sweet I like it
cool bike Jordan hope you have loads of fun with it
congratz nice bike
Congrats nice bike😎🥃🥃👍
Nice one! 👍😉
Nice bike , I have a klr and love it
Very nice bike 🔥
That’ll get ya some off-road adv for sho.
Nice bike! Probably the one I would have picked. So many good choices though lol. That or the 400... maybe the xr650l. The 250 300 xr is nice too.. hell I want them all 😂 a new monkey first maybe. The yamaha tw200 is cool too
I liked the xr650l for the extended shock travel and it weighed a little less, but I also wanted to touch the ground with my feet comfortably, the DR has a relatively low seat height from the factory.
Nice
Yup 👌👍😎
Nice..
Did you get the bike from life of Burch?
I had my phone take flight one day using that same ram mount.. don't trust it lol
😂 thanks for the warning
The seat is probably the best upgrade! The stock seat is terrible!!!
I was rather comfortable for the 2.5 hour ride home, also it’s so spacious and I could move around.
@@JordanRay it looks so much better! I ride the stock seat, it was a 2x6!!!
