Subject: (dr) DR650SE gel seat
Hello DR listers..
I purchased a Gel seat for my 1998 DR650 at my dealer. Well, long
story short, the seat from Suzuki (from Travelcade) is about 1.25 inches
shorter than stock. I returned it to my dealer a couple of days ago
(they weren't super happy, since they special ordered it..) and now I am
waiting for the same cover and stock height foam from Travvelcade. I am
pretty normal size and the shorter seat didn't give me enough
seat-to-peg room. Anyway, what I am getting at is, my dealer now has a
new gel seat that they would like to sell. I told them I would ask on
the list, since they were kind enough to take it back. If you are
thinking of getting a gel seat that is a bit lower, give them a call.
I'm sure they would sell it for much less than retail. It is yellow on
the front edge, black spandura in the middle (most of the seat) and
purple on the back edge. Their name and number is below..ask for Suzuki
parts and ask for Steve.

Greetings, all -=20
Having recently swapped a 95 DR650 for a 97, I have an extra rear wheel =
for sale. It will fit a 90-95, and is complete with a newly turned =
disc, relatively new sprocket and new bearing on the carrier. The rim =
is in great shape. Offers?
Also, anyone out there know where to pick up extra wheels for the newer =
(96-) DR650's? I'd love to have a second set for the new bike.
Thanks -=20

I use Golden Spectro synthetic blend, but only after I put about 2k
miles on to break it in real good. I think it is about the
best..although, if you ask 20 people their oil opinion, you'll get 20
answers. None are wrong. Pick a name brand motorcycle oil, and you
pretty much can't go wrong.. My 2 cents worth..

I have never tried synthetic myself but every thing I have read (including
this list) has said that synthetic oil is to slick for your clutch to work
properly. In short it may cause it to slip. Hope this helps.

List,
Synthetic oils are wonderful......for the proper application. My wife
is associated very closely with the oil industry, and therefore I have
occasion to talk with sales people, engineers, and higher management in
the oil companies. Every one of them says the same thing, synthetic oils
are wonderful in their proper use, However, there are few applications
where they are cost effective in over-the-road vehicles.
It won't hurt your vehicle to run it, but you are wasting your money,
it just isn't necessary. Regular modern oils are quite good, and more
than adequate for the use we give them in motorcycles, but across the
line, use the higher grades of any of them. If you're worried, change it
twice as often as is recommended, you still won't spend as much.

I use Castrol full synthetic with no problems except
in real cold weather the clutch will slip a bit until
the motor is fully warmed up and then its gone.I was
told by my local dealer the Castrol does not use a
certain additive(do not remember the name it was long
though) that promotes slippage that other brands
do.It's 10 bucks a qrt but my bike is worth it.I would
recommend it to anyone.
