DR650 wrecking in Australia

Shipping a whole wheel will not be cheap - but will be a quick fix on your end.

wreckers in Germany

Hi there,

the DR650SE was sold in Germany, Austria and Switzerland until 2001, so you should be able to find a used wheel with a wrecker in one of this countries. But make sure before you send them money, that the wheel is not from the pre96 models.

Vienna is not that bad of a place to break down, even in winter :-) ... go and see the xmas market and have a glühwein.

good luck

Jordan, I do have access to DR850 parts in Graz.
Unfortunately I can't tell if 850 parts fit your 650.

Feel free to directly call or mail me if you think there is anything I could help you with. A couch and workshop is also available in Graz.

Hi Jordan, hi Wauschi ,

our friend Thomas lives near Vienna and offered his help, too (trailer and all), but does not have parts.

I live in Graz, about 250 km from Vienna.

Depending on what is really broken a sprocket carrier may be sufficient?

There are 2 on ebay Austria for the XF650, as I have read above they may fit:
http://www.ebay.at/itm/SUZUKI-XF650-...item3615c51c38 (ebay 232293473336)
http://www.ebay.at/itm/SUZUKI-XF650-...item361d9a8424 (ebay 232424899620)

I will called the sellers company if they have a complete wheel for you as well, but that was already gone.
They run a breakers yard and do a lot of parts sales, so maybe the wheel was just too bulky to put it on ebay.

This is their shop in case you need anything else:
http://www.bike-recyc.at/index.php?id=2
On ebay: http://stores.ebay.at/BIKE-RECYC-AUS..._sid=108469357 (already filtered for DR650)

850 parts seem to have a bigger rear axle, so may not fit.

Andy

Ah, I have a breakers list on my website, but not sure all the contacts are still alive:
Die motorang-Seiten: Motorrad-Gebrauchtteile

Some of them are more Yamaha guys as that is what I ride.

The rescue mission is on its way. We connected via Whatsapp.

Tom and Jordan will be picking up the broken DR650 this evening, and meet the seller of a set of wheels tomorrow noon near Vienna, assuming that the rear wheel will perfectly fit Jordans bike.

This is what guardian angels look like these days - meet Tom:

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
