Hello,
I’m writing with a question about a 1994 DR650R. I’m replacing the clutch kit and have run into a few uncertainties.

The engine is the 640cm3

The old clutch had 7 friction plates (1 thicker) and 6 steel plates (1 thicker). The new kit has 7 friction plates (1 thicker) and 6 steel plates (none thicker).

Also, when I disassembled the clutch, there were no washers, even though according to YouTube videos and the documentation, it looks like there should be several.

So my questions are:
Does it matter that one of the new steel plates is thinner than the old one?

How many washers are supposed to be there? Is it possible for there to be none?

The old clutch was slipping quite badly, especially in the higher gears. Could the missing washers have been the cause of this?
I’ve attached photos of the old plates.

My new clutch kit: https://www.motopulsas.lt/detales/dr650r-dr650re-dr650rs-1990-1995m-sankabos-komplektas-ebc-drc059-std.html
Maybe someone has installed this kit before and knows the answer?

According to the technical diagram, my old clutch was missing washers #5, #11, and #12.

Thank you for the help!

Hello braliukai!

Me and a friend will be taking dirt bikes on Latvia TET later in august. We will be doing LV section 1, which is basically the courland pocket one.

My main question is, how are the laws in Latvia about camping ? How strict are the authorities in regards to policing forests for motorcycles or ATVs? (We will only drive on roads). Can you set up a tent and have a campfire in the forest? Since we will have a lot of the route close to the beach, can we set up camping on the beach? I dont think we could take our bikes on the beach even if theyre just parked there, correct me if I am wrong though.

(Dont worry we will not leave any trash or destroy the forest with our camping :) )

Also if anyone has driven this route maybe can comment on the road surface (mostly gravel or sand, or forest dirt). Any muddy or flooded areas if it rains a lot?

To finish off if anyone has a recommendation of what we can visit close to the route these are welcome!

Thank you for your time braliukas!
