To adjust the chain tension, first place the motorcycle on a stand. Loosen the axle nut and adjust the chain adjusters on both sides equally until the chain has about 1.2 to 1.6 inches of slack at the midpoint. Tighten the axle nut to the specified torque.
The recommended oil type for the Suzuki DR650SE 2019 is 10W-40, preferably a high-quality motorcycle oil. The oil capacity is approximately 2.5 liters when changing the oil and filter.
It is recommended to inspect and clean the air filter every 3,000 miles and replace it every 12,000 miles, or more frequently if you ride in dusty conditions.
If your DR650SE won't start, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel valve is open, check for fuel in the tank, and inspect the spark plug. If the issue persists, consult a professional mechanic.
To improve comfort, consider upgrading the seat to an aftermarket option, installing handlebar risers, and getting a windshield to reduce wind fatigue.
The recommended tire pressure for the Suzuki DR650SE 2019 is 22 psi for the front tire and 25 psi for the rear tire, although this may vary depending on load and riding conditions.
To change the spark plug, remove the seat and fuel tank to access the spark plug. Use a spark plug socket to remove the old plug, check the gap on the new plug, and install it, ensuring it is tightened to the correct torque.
Common causes of overheating include low oil levels, clogged air filters, or a malfunctioning cooling system. Regular maintenance and checks can prevent these issues.
For winter storage, clean the motorcycle, change the oil, fill the tank and add a fuel stabilizer, remove the battery and store it in a cool place, and cover the motorcycle to protect it from dust and moisture.
Regular maintenance should include checking the oil level, inspecting the chain tension, examining the brake pads and fluid, checking tire pressure, and inspecting the air filter.
