Wow, great in depth video again Dino. We enjoyed every minute of it! We loved the Kerosine cleaning B’roll section, with music 😃. Also a question about the rusty bolt that you cleaned with the wirewheel. The bolt looked to be galvanised/zinc coated. And if so, aren’t you worried the wire wheel would damage or take off this coating and it would rust worse after that? Or isn’t that really a problem usually? Again, love the videos and looking forward to the next one!

So glad you enjoyed it. As to your question, yes the bolt is coated from the factory and may rust again after cleaning. Ideally the best option is to replace the bolt and I most likely will at the next service interval however I am quite confident that with the amount of additional grease I put on the shaft before I re-installed it into the bike, it should be OK for now. Great question, thank you for asking it. Dino

Anthony A, thank you for the kind words, I am think I'm getting better as the channel grows, I have learned a lot from other channels out there and I would give them credit before me, Mottodans, Biker Bits, Biker Bytes, Full Pelt adventures and of course cross training adventure all deserve high praise for their work on promoting the DR650. These are the channels that inspired me to jump in the KZitem game and I still watch all their content. Thank you again for the comment, I really do appreciate the feedback. Dino

I have an ‘03 as well . Your videos are great . Thanks for putting them together ! I replaced the 4 bearings on the linkage as 2 were mostly dry . That was a challenge pushing out the old and in with the new . Did it with sockets , a 3’ cheater bar in my workbench vise . That was sketchy . Heat & cold is your friend in that challenge. You made putting that swingarm back in look easy . I struggled a bit but got it .

@@DinosTinkerShed not nearly as bad as you hear. There was grease in there but on the thin side. It is a quality grease though.
