Hey Chris,
I've commented in detail on this on several recent threads. If you can, look them up.
At this point I would stick to your original plan. With such weird weather going on ... anything could happen. Traditionally heaviest rain is August, Sept, Oct. So no point holding off.
Remember, unless it's a big storm, most times it does NOT rain in the AM and the rain may hold off until night time but usually always until NOON. So, if rainy season, plan your riding starting in early AM ... and ride until you get soaked, then pull in for the day. But as mentioned, with Global Warming anything can happen now. I say GO FOR IT!
It will be VERY HOT (dry heat) going down in Baja. Once over to Mexico, get up high in Central highlands. Less rain, less heat. But once in Central America only Guatemala will provide relief. At or near sea level it's so hot and humid you won't believe it.
I was first there in the 70's. We also left in June. We were cooked everywhere and when we got to Guatemala it was so pleasant (land of the internal Spring), we stayed. For three years!
All the best! I'm in San Rafael and also own a DR650. Feel free to contact for tips.
