What??
You called me and asked about the coil. I answer you I didn’t have it.
I ask you if you ever try to find it in any Suzuki shop. You said no because you didn’t saw many DR650s here.
I explain you that maybe other models share the same coil. And that is what at the end you find even from other brand.
Also tell you that are possible to re-coil yours. Looks like you didn’t believe me..
Offer you to point you where in the same block are a good Suzuki dealer and in case they don’t have anything is other shop where they can repair yours. You weren’t interested.
Sorry, but I don’t know in which other way I can be more helpful...
Regards and hope your travels continue well.

Looks like you owe Javier a HUGE apology, IMHO.

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.
