the DR200 thread

[Klay]

One of the bolts in the sump I believe is actually a locater for the shift drum, if I remember correctly. But I don't know why they aren't both listed. Maybe the bolt for the transmission parts is listed in the transmission schematic.

Bingo! I don't know if this is a repost but i've just found the DR200se parts catalogue online as a pdf.

The oil drain plug is part
09247-14026

It is in the oil pump diagram, i'm definately ordering a few of these.

While i'm placing an order, the stock brake pads come up as 59300-42880 for around $25, it doesnt state whether this is for one side only or both I'm assuming its for both can you confirm this clay?

[Klay]

They aren't going to sell them separately. That would be very unlikely.

Loop around forks at lower triple clamp, straps pulling between front of tire arc and axle centerline approx 18-24" outside the bike's centerline, then a strap from rear wheel to rear of truck/trailer/etc pulled tight to keep rear from swinging L/R and bouncing up. I've seen the bike fly up over railroad tracks.

Proper way to tie down a motorcycle for transport:

bought this 2009 from the orignal owner last month who bought it in march 2011 (2009 left over). I already put kintech jet kit, fmf pipe, pirelli mt-21 tires and have a ricochet skid plate on order. It might be up for sale shortly, Im already wanting a bigger bike.

Yep, overkill. That's me......
I tie my bikes down such that failure of any single strap will not cause any problems with the bike.....
Been trailering for a lot of years and have never lost or damaged anything. And I have had single straps fail (both break or just come loose).
I have two green straps on the rear. One for each bike. They pull directly backwards and not towards the center. BTDT.

Upon further inspection i see your strap routing.

Kudos. Lots of "beginners" in this thread. My post was more intended for their benefit. However using caribiners and quality straps is the key. As you well know by the look of those ProTaper straps. Their my favorite. Route your loops around the forks above the lower triple tree. Forks ar far stronger than bars and less wires/cables/bodywork to work around

Hey Klay,
have u ever cleaned out the sump screen? I see it in the manual to do, but not a mileage limit like for oil and filter.

Thanks

No. Wouldn't you have to open the engine cases to get at that?

the service manual shows it is behind the little cover, I think 3 bolts, that is next to the oil drain bolt.

I think I remember now. (too many DR's here...)

I wouldn't worry about something like that unless you really put the bike through extraordinarily severe service.

Did you change out the stock main and pilot jets for sustained riding at that elevation?
