Gute Idee mit den Konsensatoren. Hast halt keine Elektrik wenn der Motor aus ist, aber das kann man verschmerzen. Allerdings habe ich in den 36 Jahren, die ich meine DR600 bereits fahre, noch nie Probleme mit der Batterie gehabt. Im Winter habe ich das Teil ausgebaut im Keller gelagert, im Frühling aufgeladen und gut war. Klar, nach 4 bis 6 Jahren kam dann mal eine neue Batterie rein, aber ich habe wirklich keinerlei Auffälligkeiten seitens der Batterie erlebt. Noch was: Beim Ankicken gibt´s noch Luft nach oben;-). Danke für´s Teilen👍
Hi, I am considering same bike, what is your general opinio is it good? I want to have budget bike for longer travels . I like old school bikes , but looking for reliable light kick only bike . My intentions are to make 1 travel around 5-6 K km every year to scandinavian mountains . Please share your opinion.
I traveled a lot with the DR600 in the past. It never left me stranded. It can be a little upsetting if it does not want to start, depending on temperature. The engine is not save for high speeds over a longer period. It will overheat, the piston rings will hang and break the piston ring land (the bridge between the two rings). The bike will still run after that but with less power. If you know it, one can avoid it easily. The clutch springs should be enforced so the clutch does not slip. 2mm washers under the clutch springs do the trick. I would not put synthetic oil in either. That also leads to clutch slipping. Semi-synthetic is perfect. I would not want a different bike for solo traveling. Have fun!
Wow - Thanks!! very good information. It does not scare me now from buying it. Do you think 50K km on speedometer is alot for this bike? Let say oils were changed regulary - is 50 K KM alot? because I am looking at bike with this milage. Thanks
@@Roolis77 It depends a lot on the driver if 50k is a lot. I had an engine that I drove for almost 100k. But the first engine didn't even make 30k. I ruined it on the Autobahn to Spain. If you are handy, I would not worry too much about it. This engine is no rocket science. But those bikes are up in age. I'm actually surprised that there would be one that has only 50k. Remember the odometer is also easily 'adjusted'...

Cool solution. Do you have an idea how vibration-resistant the capacitors are compared to a battery?
No, I will find out :-)
Heard about problems with capacitator (Kondensator-block) heating up, do you have some max temp values for this kind of capacitator.
I hear a lot myself too. If I don't believe what I hear, I just try things out myself. That is the only way of finding out for sure 😕
The earth cables have hight resistance as they are old... make headstock earth and make new , thicker cable earth to regulator...
Worked for me..!!
How is it holding up?
