Proud of how it turned out. Suzuki DR 600

[Shadwell]

Decided to put this thread up because i am usually useless with a spanner but with a little bit of patience and even more research i think i have turned out something pretty good.

This is what it looked like at the beginning of march

This is what it looked like for about 6 weeks

and this is what it looks like now.

I would love to take it on the 3 week trip to tunisia im doing with a couple of mates from on here in September but i dont know whether i can leave the 800gs at home. also the suzuki seems to burn oil like a bastard and after seeing how much that cost Al on his old tenere on a recent trip to morocco im not sure i can afford to get another mortgage to pay for it Unless of course there is a way to reduce to rate it burns???

Looks great - nice job

Just make sure you change the automatic camchain tensioner, they have a habit of failing and allowing the timing to jump a couple of teeth. Only real weak point on the bike

Thanks for that guys, cant wait for the next project now.

Might have to sell this one first though
