Hej. DR650 -98 och tidiga -99 hade ett problem med ett kugghjul innanför vänsterblocket som gjorde att godset på den sidan gick sönder, vid bl a avstängning. Jag kollade upp hur det såg ut på min DR förra året men då såg det helt ut. Dock är min en 99a som såldes i maj 99, så troligen räknas den som en tidig variant, men detta ska man tydligen kunna kolla med något slags "Vin#"-nummer som dom nämner i texten nedan. Vad är det för nummer och hur får jag reda på det?
"DR650 update on the 650 grenade issue. 1998 and early '99 were equipped with a solid idler gear that created a problem when the engine kicked back during shutdown, breaking out the gear bearing bosses. This also breaks out and destroys the left case half due to its ridged design. The case halves always come in matched pairs and cost in excess of $650.00 not to mention labor charges to change all internal parts into new cases. This should not be taken lightly. '96 and '97 had the torque limiter gear that is designed to slip due to a preloaded slip clutch arrangement. Well they went back to this design in mid '99 after vin # X2100561 so if your Vin # predates this you should consider installing this updated item shown above."
