The sandpaper on glass trick is awesome, ive watched someone do that with a cylinder head, now they admitted that it was most likely a short term solution but by god it actually worked

Thank you for the informative video. I just completed this repair on my 1999 DR350se.On my motorcycle it was extremely difficult/ almost impossible to shift into neutral, the clutch would drag while in neutral, and shifting was notchy. The parts I used were the 2 metal washers, metal sleeve and cover gasket from Suzuki. My bike has lower miles, so I inspected and reused the clutch. It rides so much better now. Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I had the exact issue with my DR350 and your video helped me diagnose it quickly and fix it quickly. With the use of the video it took me a morning to complete the job. My tensioner was also bent but I just bent it back with the vise.

Anyway you are lucky, you can still buy new "old bike" for 7,000$ in USA. In Europe they needed to update old bikes to EURO emission standards or abandon it. You can't buy here new old style bike with carb and without ABS :( Now you can buy here only "computers" on two wheels, and weight is killing those small bikes. Check new bikes: GS310: 374 lbs Versys-X 300: 386 lbs KTM 390 Adventure: 386 lbs No 21" at front, only Versys got spokes in wheels. Old Africa Twin 750 is only +110 lbs than new "small" bikes :D Look at old bikes: XR400 276 lbs DR350S 286 lbs How it is possible? :D

I bought a 1990 DR350s cheap. Had a bottom end rattle and would occasional jump out of gear. Opened it up to find the same thing.

My 91 DR 350 has 30,000 miles. They love Suzuki Ecstar 9000 synthetic oil. Two quart oil in frame system. Suzuki builds incredibly well built and designed motorcycles. That kick lever return spring spacer must be installed with notch over spring and proper side out. Be careful when handling that clutch basket. The edges are near razor sharp. Be sure the release bearing has rollers to release pin and smooth side to clutch inner basket. I use Pirelli Rally Cross tires on my DR for off road with reasonable on road performance.

I am replacing the shift stopper arm. same bike same year. I am a bit stuck. Do I actually need to remove the shift drum bolt to replace the shift stopper arm? Can I not just replace the arm independently? I don’t want to undo the shift drum bolt because it turns the whole mechanism when I put a socket on and I have back wheel and swing arm removed so can’t hold the wheel. Not sure how to remove it as it is now.
