    Most of this stuff is out of date and not helpful at this point. Should I just delete this, or is there anyone else who might want to curate this tiny collection? PM me.

    *Let me know what all you guys and gals would like me to add to this list. Also, these links are getting pretty old. If there's bad stuff in here, let me know so I can get rid of it.


    DR200 information.

    Procycle now has a DR200 page, here.

    Service manual

    I am going to use this post as a repository for FAQ's about the DR200....tune-up information, tires, sprockets, and other accessories and modifications. If you have information that is appropriate here, please post it in the thread and I will quote it here or add a link to it. Please send me a PM if I don't notice it right away.

    What kind of cylinder head does your 200 have?

    Tune-up information:

    The intake and exhaust valve clearance specification is between .08mm to .13mm for both the intake and exhaust valve.

    Note: Don't overtighten your front sprocket bolt . Use a torque wrench and thread locking compound. If the head of the bolt snaps off, you may have a lot of trouble getting the rest of the bolt out. The proper torque for tightening this bolt is surprisingly light.

    Seat Concepts is a new company that may make you a seat:

    Apparently Seat Concepts doesn't have a seat available for the new seats on DR200s "15 and on.

  3. Here's a couple of mine from Moab last week...

  4. I was really impressed with the sure footedness of the little DR even with the factory deathwings on, very confidence inspiring[​IMG]

    its like wheres waldo with motorcycles

  5. anyone found any aftermarket exhaust for the DR?
  6. Kientech will modify the stocker I think. No aftermarket for it. No need for one either, you wouldn't get much power gain and an obnoxiously loud DR200 wouldn't make much sense:)

  8. Oh Goodie! Why did'nt I think of this?[​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    :lol3

    Now I wish I had'nt sold my minivan because my DR650 would'nt fit in it!

    :lurk More please.....

  9. Did any of you put a bash plate on your DR-200?

    When we had one, we would have, but had trouble finding one. We then sold the bike so it is merely an academic Q now.

  10. Got a Djebel 200 (suspected 1997 model) for my wife recently.

    Now she waits for her appointment to get her learners (She has to travel 130km one way to get an appoinmtment within three weeks. Local traffic department: Come back in five months.
    :dizave
    And they wonder why the youngsters ride without license.

    In the meantime I am busy with getting the little thing into shape.
    With most of my dirt experience being from messing around with DR650SE, KLR650 A and C and Baghiras I was amazed how sure footed and easy the little DR is.
    It climbs up the steepest slopes as if they aren't there. Deep sandpits that require concentration and a bit of bravery when negotiated on a 650 are a laugh on the little 200.
    :ricky
    After half an hour on the 200 I was doing things I would consider twice before an attempt on a 650.
    I even managed to put the thing into wild slides on the hardpacked gravel car park of the tennis club opposite my shop
    :wings
    As soon as license issues are resolved we will go on a nice trip down the Grear Bergriver to St. Helena Bay. All on farm roads and trying to avoid tarmac whereever possible.

    IMHO the bike is a great bike for a beginner, it's a cheap commuter and it's still a lot of fun to ride for someone like me with 20years+ of riding experience. Just stay away from freeways!

    Only negative so far is non existent dealer support here in Cape Town. The Djebel was a grey import. Luckily (I thought) it shares the engine and most other components with the DR200SE:
    Tried to get the valve clearance settings from the local workshop just to find out they don't know although the DR200SE is an officially imported model and they have even sold a few already :eek1

    Next step: Organize Suzuki workshop manual.

    No bash plate. I don't go really fast off-road...I'm not interested in that. I like to use the little DR as a mini-touring bike that'll go where the big ones won't. (without a lot of drama) I bet somebody makes a bash plate now, however.

    I like the round headlight on the Djebel.

    What I really, really , would like to have is the 250 Djebel. It's not currently available in the US.

  13. That issue has been on my mind for some time. After I clear my peak season (May to mid July) at work I'm going to make one. Thinking of something closer to a spray/mudguard as opposed to a heavy duty bash plate. Will go with either 3/32"-1/8" aluminum or fiberglass.

    I also found the 200 with the OEM final to be an excellent performer in tight technical gnarly offroad stuff.

    Another great ride....:ricky

  14. Steve:

    PM me w your address and I'll shoot ya some spokes.

    Coop

  15. are there any companies making a rack for the DR200?
  16. Klay;

    Is that an OEM supplied tire? How old do you think it is. Sort of looks like it might have been an old tire at time of fitting. What kind of pressures do you run?

    My OEM's (97) are just about worn out (tread) and the is some sidewall and base of lug checking. That's the dilemma I now have; what tires to choose.

    Still leaving tomorrow?

    Coop;

    Let's see that purple seat. :evil :evil :evil :evil :evil Malibu Beach here we come.

    Whoops, I forgot I was on the DR200SE thread. Just can't help myself.:eek1 Show us on the MT thread.

    klxrdr;

    Other shots of my pannier setup on the Minimalist Tourer thread. As mentioned there, very happy with system.

    Another great ride....:ricky

    It's a replacement Trailwing...we went through a rear tire on both of the bikes. We run the pressures at 30 to 32 pounds for the street. My original never did anything like that. None of the cracking or weather-checking. I ordered both rear tires together so they're from the same batch, and mine saw more miles and harder use. ?? We're switching to K270 Kendas.

    Folks, I've always wanted to take my little 200 on a long road trip, so tomorrow I'm taking off for the North Dakota badlands for a look-see. Should be about a 1700 mile round trip. I'm going to ride down the valley of the Little Missouri River. I want to stick to gravel and dirt roads as much as possible for a fresh look at the Dakotas. Beyond that, I don't have any set schedule or itinerary. :ricky

  18. are there other fenders that fit the dr?
    something a little less 1986
  19. Australia has a "Farm" DR200 called the Trojan that has a rear and front rack, mud flaps front and rear, two kick stands (L & R), hand guards, skid plate. Haven't found out how (or how much$) the items would be.
