Professional Workshop Service Manual & Technical Specifications
Reference-Grade Shop Manual: Suzuki DR650S DR650SM Motorcycle Data-Compendium
Specification-Class: DR650S (1991), DR650SM (1991) // Model-Designation: Single-cylinder four-stroke, OHC configuration // Design-Core: Complete factory documentation and technical procedures.
Following OEM groupings, the manual includes engine specifications, transmission systems, fuel and lubrication documentation, electrical schematics, chassis and suspension assembly procedures, and emission control information. The document addresses brake system descriptions, tire and wheel service data, steering mechanism assembly sequences, and front fork operation details, organizing component specifications alongside periodic maintenance intervals and troubleshooting logic.
| Specification | Documentation Scope | Reference Details |
|---|---|---|
| Engine Systems | Displacement, bore/stroke, compression, camshaft journal clearances documented | 640 cm³, 9.7:1 compression ratio |
| Transmission | Five-speed constant mesh, gear ratios, clutch specifications included | Primary reduction 2.200, final reduction 2.625 |
| Electrical | Ignition timing, coil resistance, generator output, battery capacity documented | 12V 18 kC battery, 15A fuse |
| Suspension | Fork oil capacity, spring free length, damping specifications included | Fork oil #10, 566 ml per leg |
| Braking System | Disc thickness limits, caliper bore dimensions, master cylinder specifications provided | Front/rear disc specifications documented |
Suspension service documentation covers front fork disassembly procedures, inner tube metal installation, damper rod bolt torque specifications, and rear swingarm bearing replacement sequences. Disassembly instructions are documented for cylinder head removal, camshaft sprocket positioning, piston pin circlip installation, and transmission gear extraction from crankcase halves. Wear limits are specified for valve stems, rocker arm shafts, piston ring grooves, and conrod small end clearances. System operation descriptions cover lubrication flow paths through camshaft journals, rocker arm contact surfaces, and balancer chain tensioner mechanisms. The documentation addresses complete carburetor assembly specifications, idle mixture adjustments, float height settings, and jet needle positioning across multiple market designations.
The manual documents torque specifications for cylinder head bolts to ensure proper clamping force, engine mounting bolts for frame attachment integrity, transmission case fasteners for housing seal retention, and brake system unions for hydraulic line connection security. Wiring diagrams illustrate ignition system interlock logic, charging system regulation behavior under varying engine speeds, and side stand switch interaction with engine stop circuits. Cable and hose routing sections reference clamp positioning, union bolt stopper alignment, and brake line junction bracket attachment points to prevent vibration-induced movement and abrasion.
Diagnostic procedures address low compression causes (valve clearance deviation, worn valve guides, mistimed cam operation, ring wear, cylinder bore degradation), spark plug fouling sources (carbon accumulation, wet conditions, defective magneto components, open ignition circuits), and fuel delivery blockages (fuel strainer sediment, carburetor float valve wear, vacuum line obstruction, fuel filter saturation). Engine overheating analysis correlates carbon deposit formation with insufficient oil levels, defective oil pump operation, low float chamber fuel levels, and intake manifold air leakage conditions. Troubleshooting tables reference specific chapters for brake pad replacement procedures, clutch cable adjustment techniques, drive chain slack measurement methodology, and steering bearing preload adjustment sequences.
The document includes complete engine lubrication and cylinder head cooling system schematic illustrating oil circulation from the sump, through the filter apparatus, to rocker arm bearing surfaces, camshaft journal locations, and balancer sprocket bearings. Component inspection procedures detail magneto rotor removal using specialized socket wrenches, crankshaft runout measurement with dial gauges and V-blocks, and clutch plate distortion assessment using thickness measurement instruments. Reassembly sequences emphasize crankshaft installation using custom installer attachments to prevent alignment damage, balancer shaft positioning using impact tools, and transmission gear seating verification through manual rotation tests.
