John, Do they offer rebuild kits for the DR650 transmission? When something like this happens it usually means the components are worn. Rather than just trying to fix the one problem... better to do the whole thing and be done with it. Yup... lose gravel on the berm can do that. Especially if the berm is slanted away from the tire where you need the grip the most. The other incident was totally a freak happenstance. Staying away from the larger rocks is all you can do. I enjoyed the views... very beautiful trail. Thanks for sharing! Gord
Apparently so. I kept fiddling with it and I eventually got it working properly. I’ve since ordered a new OEM cable. I haven’t installed it yet, but I have it zip tied in place parallel to the original, in case I have a cable break to make it faster to switch over
I’m hoping it isn’t in the transmission. I found after the ride that the shift lever had been pressed into the side of the engine side case armor and scraping. Possibly cause of rough shifting. I’ve changed the shift lever and only had a brief successful test ride so far. We will see
Really appreciate the road names on the chapters. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome. I wasn’t able to get every turn and road, but I thought this would be interesting for those researching this route
Thanks for sharing your ride. I’ve done many of those same roads. Love that you put the road names on the screen, helps me follow along.
Rolling Stones..."what a drag it is getting old..."
Get ya some "mother's lil helpers..."
I learned to stretch to take care of my lower back. Really helped.
Another great video thanks JPR I like it.
DR Power! Great video
Looked like a nice ride. Weather seems to have cooperated…

Your soundtracks are amazing, is that your music? That techno/classical in the last vid was off the chain. Good tunes to ride to.
I wish it were mine. No, they are from a licensing library.
4:58 crashed, no problem, off we go!!
I don't cal it a crash... I call it a sudden horizontal resting position
@@JohnnyPowRides unscheduled dismount, I understand completely!!
Usually if it is not transmission or a bad clutch, the first thing to always try is the clutch cable adjustment, just curious if that is what it was?

You got Shinko 244 on both front and back? Besides the wipeout, how'd the tires feel overall?
Great. I’ve been very pleased with that tire for all of my adventures
How do you like the Shinko 244 rear tire? I thought about swapping to one of those but I ended up going back to the Tusk D-sport.
They have worked well for me on the three bikes I have used them on for adventure rides. I’m happy with them, for tubed type bikes.
5.10” or 4.6” on the DR?

Awesome tracks to ride there. Why didn't Ang join you this time?
I think he had a work conflict… not sure
Worn dogs on second gear maybe?

Sorry but i wish I could turn the music off.
I understand. it's not for everybody. thanks for watching, though
probably pulled something when ya lifted the bike....been there done that...I had a herniated disc in lower back years ago Johnny
Not sure. I’m still a bit sore…
