No first ride report?
Lol, I have about 10 miles on it now. The gauges didn't work at first, but I looked around and found a plug disconnected and after I plugged it in the gauges now work.
I do need to set the sag, but man does it ride nice! I took it easy for a little bit, but the few times I got on it I was really impressed with the power!! The Honda 450L or whatever it is I rode was a little underwhelming when it came to power, but not this thing! You don't need to pop the clutch or yank at all to get the front tire up, even leaning forward it will wheelie on dirt pretty easy. Its pretty muddy already as the ground is very soft here (we still have a little snow).
I have had the CEL come on like 3 times now, but it has been when I am chugging along at 4mph for extended periods because my 6 year old was riding with me on his KDX50. These are supposed to be pretty lean from the factory so I hope its just a combo of slowspeed running hot at like idle. I turn the key off and back on and it goes out. Ill keep an eye on it for sure.
It is crazy light at 240 lbs!!!
Ordered an Acerbis skid plate today.
Haven't found any mirrors I like yet. I was hoping for bar end, but I think that might be a bad idea off road.
Super happy with it though, no buyers remorse at all.
Only think I don't like, is that the gauge is tiny/a joke, and it is pretty bland/boring looking. I wish the frame was orange like the 6 days edition. The grey plastic is bland, and there's a tiny KTM logo, and a tiny 500 logo. Its just not super exciting to look at.
Buddy has an orange frame on his 1290 Super Adventure R. After a year of riding it's pretty ugly with all the scuff marks, dings and dirt.
A dark frame might not be great to look at, but it almost always looks clean.

I’ve used the Bikemaster and Ken Sean folding mirrors on previous bikes. Will probably get a pair for the DR650 too.
Once you figure out how to get them adjusted right, their visibility is pretty good and they fold out of the way pretty easily if you’re going off-road. Supposedly there’s no-name ones that are cheaper but shittier quality.
The Doubletake mirrors are the way to go if you want to spend more money on indestructible ones.

Sweeeeet. Set the sag if you haven’t . Probably need bigger springs at some point.
jealous, i'm dying to twist wrist !
