Well after my engine on the DR went bust it was time to consider either dumping it and go for a KTM thumper or save costs and repair engine and do a general overhaul on it with new paint, bearings, selarings and the like. Finally it was an easy decision as money in these times is not too plenty and the overhaul was the most feasible option.
Working takes most of my time so repair work on my bikes gets only a limited timeframe, that's why it took me so long to get this far.
Only parts still to be done is the engine and a carb cleaning job:
These housing parts will get a cleaning and new bearings this weekend. The remaining ones as time goes by in the next 2-3 weeks.
The bike itself has been redone with details such as new powdercoating by RICHO and paint by myself & Pistonshop. Fitted the DR350 taillight, new rubberparts, clutchparts by SUZUKI Austria, Woessner high-compression piston from Germany, Dynojet - now stage 3, new crankshaft/pushrod bearing, new pushrod, new bolt, and and and......................
So now not much work left on the bike:
Looking very much forward to do the previous Nan trip again but this time on the thumper which should when finished get even more power through the forged high compression piston 5555555.......cheers, Franz
