An update on the Suzuki DR350

It’s winter over here in New Zealand, so the bikes been mostly parked up and given the occassional run to keep it ticking over. I thought it was all good for next season but then a few things happened….

The fork seals gave up, so I replaced those along with the fork oil.

The stator wiring burnt out, it took me several days to find the problem and resolder all the connections.

The bike failed a warrent of fitness (safety inspection) which meant replacing the steering head bearings (and pulling the front end apart again)

The good news is that I’ve  now built up a spare rear wheel with a road tyre and road gearing. This means I can use this bike for other uses besides following my daughter around an offroad track in the summer time.
