Why buy a kit when there's a good chance you can make some big changes yourself. In this video, I do a fairly decent tune to the stock DR650 carb all while spending zero dollars on it. That's right, drilling out the main jet, grinding the needle, and making my own needle shims. This bike has never run so well or made this much power.

    INCREDIBLE video, thank you Jeremy Goertz. This is exactly what I wanted to know and you've even showed me how to do it step by step.
  • It’s so cool that those changes make so much difference. Nice work Jeremy.

    Thanks for the vid. One thing about drilling the jet. I read about it when I was a youth, in car mags. The jet hole is actually tapered, as the fuel flow is calculated for that size. When you drill it you square the hole, which really increases the flow rate, more than just a purchased jets size up. It also can cause lack of consistency in the fuel flow. Food for thought.
  • I think this is the first mod video where I actually like the sound of the aftermarket exhaust. Tank looks great, I was considering the clear tank. That's some brave modification to that carburetor, the video does a great job showing the performance improvements.

    Very good video, I hope you get a lot of subs and views!
  • I thought I was bad with hitting the blinker cancel button but you took the cake. It made me laugh how many times you hit the blinker cancel button 😂😂

    A Phillips bit on impact gun makes easy work for float bowl bolts

    Your video on Dr 650 Suzuki made my mind up which Enduro bike I'll get bike looks awesome with bigger gas tank great video riding.jerry neil
  • @robertmayer2071
    i like it i just bought a new 22 dr 650 last week 44 miles on it now
  • Greetings As always another excellent detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸 Would you have a video on Delkevic exhaust?! Keep producing more videos.
  • Seeing this makes me miss the prairies a bit........ but only a bit. Lol great vid man, u have inspired me to one day upgrade the tank. Do u find now after some time that it works well? Worth the cash?
  • @pilotdane1
    Nice job indeed. Good video. I went with the Procycle kit & what-not and have similar results. "De-restricting" THE MIGHTY SUZUKI DR 650 - Letting it breathe better, etc. does make it quite happy. Cheers !
  • "DEMON DOCTOR ROCKET"!!!!I'd put a screen over air box mod, just because iam particular lol, also I want to move to ur neighborhood, looks so piece full!!I believe lack of back fire is simply because ur exhaust is breaking in now, lot of exhaust do that when new I believe, or so I've heard!!
  • @bradh74
    Did you take the exhaust off and grind down the weld inside the front pipe (at the manifold)? It's supposed to make a huge difference. The other guys couldn't keep the front wheel down. One guy was BikerBits I can't remember the others there was an Australian and a Canadian you can probably grind your jet/needle more. I think they changed to a 55 on the lower jet. Good luck nice job on the video. I'm not sure we can get away with re-jetting a bike in Ohio because of emissions.
  • @ccc9591
    I’m gonna be trying a few of these things myself and I’m going to taper the needle on a belt sander as well. I’m curious as to what grit you used? Cheers
  • @kyleklintok7730
    Ill be running a lot of highway and want to add a tooth on the front sprocket to lower the revs some but i was concerned about the bike being able to pull it. This sounds like the extra power would compensate enough to pull the taller gear.
  • @eikskjold
    I took a dremel, turned the carb bolts into big wide flatheads and then used a long screwdriver to get them off.
  • @bigtrev761
    🇦🇺😎👍now you’ve got me in the mood.
  • I don't understand how tapering the needle at the tip improves low end response? Think about it. I drilled my original main jet, and ground my needle and it was never right, yes it ran alright but it wasn't 'right' , but after tinkering abit more with it, I'm like you, I've got my bike tuned to the point where I don't think it could get any better. Cut Airbox and exhaust header weld ground down, drilled slide, cut spring, 155 mikuni main jet, 45 pilot jet, stock needle shimmed up a smidge. I don't have pipe on mine cut but I'll order a couple more sizes up of main jet when that comes, itll probably end up at around 160 or 165 mainjet. I bought an extended fuel screw and that has been an excellent addition too, When the pipe comes I also want to do abit of porting and polishing on the exhaust side of the head. When you get them 'right' they run amazing, sitting still at idle the bike idles butter smooth, and you can't smell anything, at cruise the motor is buttery smooth, but then you give it some wrist and it makes you feel all giddy, I can wrist it around tree's in figure 8's , then scoot up to 70mph with ease and sit there all day. Cheers,
  • Ya know.... I have a stock pipe and stock 140 jet. But I drilled the slide and tapered the needle and removed the snorkel and adjusted the idle mixture. Those alone made a huge difference
