I just ran across this video of a 6'4" person reviewing the newest DL650 and newest DL1000 both.
This happened to me. I bought a used 2015 650 XT and always thought it handled a little sluggish and it bottomed out constantly. I thought it was the weak rear shock. When I replaced the rear shock for a cogent model I noticed that it had 3/4" lowering links. I ordered a set of 3/4" raising links and with the new suspension handles great.And if you're buying a used bike, make sure the PO didn't install lowering links!

Get a shift lever for a DR 650 or 400 (sorry can't remember which). I elimintates the linkage and puts the tip farther out for those with big feet.Longer gear shifter... any ideas or suppliers?
Love my 2018 DL 1000, but wanted a longer gear shifter for when I use my larger boots... any ideas anyone? Im 6 3 215 Lbs. Vstrom fits me perfect except this...…
