If I keep my DR between 55-60mph I average around 50mpg or more. I deleted the PAIR valve, the bike runs better and no popping noise on deceleration. Another thing I added was finned valve covers from Shotcraft to help keep the top of the engine cooler.
I'm glad the smaller tank is working out. 250 is a great range. Visibility of the fuel level seems nice. Good luck sorting out the speedo. I went for a ride the other day and somehow the cable got rubbed through by my wheel, and I lost my cable holder. I bought a replacement of the cable and holder. Yours looked fine in the brief moments it was in the video.
When my DR speedo stopped working it was the nylon gear in the hub that had lost definition. Now I always put a dab of grease there to prevent wear. A replacement nylon gear was easily sourced (eBay, I think) and replaced.
Better look with the smaller tank...more than enough range for where we ride. I'm doing the same build this winter, with the suspension. I think I will lower it also, using the built in method. Garth
@@precipiceofgrind thank you so much, I did switch to your setup I haven't quite perfected a great holding solution for the mic. Thanks again cheers ✌️
@@ADV_Agenda Super glue the magnet that came with the mic into your helmet, it's very strong. And if you want an even greater peace of mind, tie a piece of braided fishing line around the mic clasp and connect the line to your Chin mount for camera. Win win! Stay safe amigo.
I've never done more than 200 with mine but know it will go a bit further being i typically get 41mpg but where i ride it can be a long time before gas is an option so we don't ever push it.
Awesome, appreciate you watching! I currently have four channels: Precipice Of Grind, Enigma Clandestino, Hit And Run Fishing, and just started working on Ufirst Outdoors & Travel. The fishing channel is on ice for a minute. Thanks for subscribing!!
@@precipiceofgrind wow 4, looks like I have to subscribe to another channel!😆 Cool stuff, besides riding off road on my KTM I find learning about how the ancient people lived fascinating. Really like the channel Stories by Alex. Oh, and I’m a 64 year old Hard Enduro wannabe. 😆
Like The Video(s)? Hit That SUBSCRIBE!! Really Helps The Channel!! Thanks For Watching!!
I love my 5.3 on my DR. It's nice to see the gas left in the tank .
Put same tank on my DR 650,best feeling ever not having to stress about mileage.Did sections 3&4 WABDR no worrying about fuel
I've been rolling this around to do to this to an xr650l. Thanks for the insight and possibilities. Ride safe bud.
My speedometer stopped working on my KLR once. The screw connecting the cable to the speedo had backed out from the vibrations. Easy roadside fix.
200+ mile ride well done man. You need those highway pegs for those long rides!
Well I'm glad the tank is just right, and you'll get the speedo fix ,I'm praying 🙏 for you, good 👍 job 😊😊
This is a nice video. Very interesting and inspiring me to get out there and ride! Thank you.

I tip mine on the kickstand until I hit the balance point . No need to pick it off the ground .
Another good video!. Check where the speedo cable goes into the front wheel. Sometimes where the drive in the front wheel will not engage.

Nice ride and test, I need to do that with my DR650.
Check the threaded collar that attaches the cable to the speedometer body. Vibration may have loosened it enough to disengage the cable.
Routinely get 235m out off mine without going to reserve putting about 4.5 gal back in. Mixed riding.
Isn’t a mechanical speedo. So check both ends or broke cable

Are you still running the DJI wireless mic in your helmet? It sounds really good, whatever you're using
Absolutely. Totally done with GoPro. The Action 4 and Mic 2 are excellent.

@@precipiceofgrind genius idea with the fishing line!!
I will definitely do that with the magnet. Thanks again buddy!!!!
If the zip ties get damaged due to heat you could get Stainless steel zip ties also.

How many channels do you have? Think I’ve subscribed to 3. 👍

I’m taking notes. I’m buying used getting closer to looking for real. I’ll know what mods to look for and what I’ll need to do myself.
