Adventure Riding - South Australia - Suzuki DR 650

- Here is a big trip I did out to a remote Salt Lake in South Australia.
Had to do it over 2 separate trips as the first run 100mm of rain fell and almost got us stranded.
I ended up making it there in the end on the second trip without a problem.
Its extremely remote. 440klm round trip from the nearest town.

Great video bro! And a big help!! Im looking at the DR650 for the East Coast myself and it looks so so good!! Cheers!!
That's the exact trip I want to do on my Ténéré 700 from Vic. My mate races there sometimes on an RZ 250 and i'd love to ride to the lake when speed week is on. I was there 20 years ago in a car, summer 2002 but camped on the west coast of the lake instead. Absolutely stunning country.
It's a top ride out to the lake and like you said mate...stunning country 👍
The mud scene roosting each other 😂 that’s what is all about. Cheers!
what a ride. What a song track, Prodigy!!
It’s incredible how much more fuel efficient EFI is. I get 550 km out of my 30L tank that fuels the 1301cc engine in my KTM 1290. So an engine literally double the size of the DR650 gets virtually the same fuel efficiency courtesy of fuel injection.
It’s an observation, not a criticism, as I also have a DRZ400 (bored and stroked to 470) with a 28L Safari tank and FCR39 pumper carburettor. I’m always amazed by the KTM’s legs. Great video.
Yeah definitely some advantages to the big CC bikes. I regularly ride with a KTM950SE and watching him take off and overtake is a buzz but he can drain a 30l tank in 150klm and shred a rear tyre in under 1000klm. As much fun as that would be, it's the exact reason I didn't buy one 👍
@@ADVRiderAustralia ride from Adelaide too Flinders rangers on my 2012 dr 650. Round about 400-450 KMs with 30 L safari tank and got bout 550 KMs on it before a refill. She still gets her distance from it. love the dr
Great video. Just found your channel. Always liked the dr650 and nearly bought one but my Scrambler won out. Would love to take a trip to aus and do some adv riding some day. Dr650 would be on my list for that. 👍
Thanks mate. When you get here shoot me message and we will ride 👍
Drone view for white salt lake is very great!!
It is an absolutely amazing place 👌
Excellent ride. Salt lake looks amazing.
A bit wetter than when I went. Awesome trip that up to Lake Gairdner and back through the Gawler Ranges. 👍
Yeah that first attempt was through 100mm of rain. It didn't stop all day. Hammered!
for travel it is a very good choice.
unity with nature, peace of mind and organic, deep thought.
You don't have to use drugs to receive revelation.
but any friends violate the harmony of a person with nature, his concentration lies in complete solitude, for example, it is highly undesirable to do science on the Internet, since everything distracts you.
Insane vid mate....wanna get out there real soon
Stu hows it going? you got your equipment working now awaiting a video m8
Hello ... Amazing ride. Im from Brazil and i have a Dr650se 1998. I would like to know which headlights you used on your bike I thought it was really cool. Thanks
Thanks Adriano. The front headlight setup is a Lynx Faring from Brittania Composites. It's been exceptional 👍
@@ADVRiderAustralia Does it light up well at night?
Have high and low light?
@@adrianostarling2653 it turns night time into day. Incredible lighting. I have travelled hundreds of klm at night in remote areas. Low is amazing then you turn onto high and you have so much confidence. Highly recommended 👍👍
@@ADVRiderAustralia Thank you very much for the tip, but looking at the values in Canadian dollars, for us here in Brazil it is 4 times more expensive. Our currency plummeted in this current ridiculous and fascist Brazilian government. Unfortunately I will have to find a more affordable option. Thanks a lot and good tours.
@@adrianostarling2653 I think in Brazil you could get something close to this, manufactured locally for 1/4 of the price.
Nice vid, mate. That sort of mud riding is constant squeaky bum time for me lol. Tell me, what is the faring/headlight setup you have there? I've seen a few DRs similar to that..... Looks good.
Britannia Composites front end mate. Love it!
Where is the sound track by Prodigy??
Their record label flagged me for copyright then wouldn't let me use it after protest and made me remove it 😭
Thanks Stu. Great vid. Talk to me about the steering dampener on the DR650. Really necessary, or just an improvement? And how do you think that might be different for a DRZ400? Cheers!
Yeah definitely worth it! Riding long dirt roads you get a bit distracted, start looking around, then you hit a rut or bump and with the dampner it washes off all that jitter. I wind it up on deeper sand when going fast. It just holds the front end straight. It's like cheating. 👍
Great video and riding 👍 How do you find your hwy riding on the dr650? Fine on freeways?
At first it was terrible due to the discomfort of the factory seat. As soon as I upgraded to the Procycle seat, life was good.
Its a stable bike on the highways but its more geared for lower speed work. Top speed is about 140kph wringing its neck but 110kph cruising is no issue.
Love the headlight setup - can I ask where sources from?

The start of this video sounds like the Mic is inside of some ethereal hell realm with demons whispering and mimicking your speech. Very amusing.
Hahah...awesome explanation 👍
What was the prodigy song they made you delete?
Skylined from Music for the Jilted Generation 😩
That was fast,thank you@@ADVRiderAustralia
Good stuff, Stu. Whats the brand of that dual headlight? looks great on the bike.
I love this bike! It's a Brittania Composites Lynx.
Awesome brotha !
Great video Stu. Is your suspension stock?
No mate. ive got a Sachs rear with a big spring and front springs. she handles well.
4:10 instant karma haha
this bike good for freeways? I am planning on doing a 1000km trip and want a DR... what's your opinion?
To be honest the top speed with the gearing I have is around 140kph. I rarely do much over 110 kph and these motors like to rev. They are clunky down real low in the RPM which is great in some circumstances but not all. I still get 5.4 litres per 100klm or about 600klm from the 33 litres the tank holds.
Some people run higher gearing but the 15/44 is a great balance of pickup, top end and fuel economy. 👍
This is brilliant! What is the name of the salt lake?
Lake Gairdner
Abre o olho com esse teu amigo ai pelo que eu vi ele te jogou água e Lama de propósito não precisava fazer isso te cuida as vezes as pessoas só fingem ser amigos pra tirar vantagem da pessoa.
Why does everyone wanna take the chance of sucking water and mud into their engine in the middle of nowhere? Water gets sucked into the cylinders and the next thing you know you've got a bent connecting rod with no cell service.
Because its FUN!!!
@@ADVRiderAustralia
Yeah I hear ya, it's fun to do stupid things... but it's also the reason you never buy a used DR650.
@@BillySBC I bought a used DR650 and it's been flawless, not only that but I have hydro locked a TE610e so I know all about bent rods.
The water crossing mid way through the vid was easy. It looks a lot worse than it actually was. Had the water been flowing into the airbox side I woldve been a bit worried but that wasn't so.
@@ADVRiderAustralia
Alright we'll let you go this time, but next time contact the DR650 Abuse Committee for watercrossing approval before attempting this okay? Okay.
@@BillySBC Hahah...Gold!! You're a Legend Billy. I will be in touch before attempting such silliness in future 🤣
♥️💚😉
5 gears won't make you happy....I've been there and will never return to the dr
Its a trade off for no radiators mate 👍
Awesome video 👍
Cheers mate 👍
