I bought myself a new DR650 SE last year . It is basically a follow on model since 1993. (pre 95? ) Not much to do on them to make them great . I bought a better muffler , that made it breath better , fitted PD valves and Hyperpro progressive springs to the forks . If you are on a tight budget you could just opt for a replacement spring to improve the rear end a bit . A hybrid option by combining the shock standard body with adjustable internals would be better , but I made a complete Hi -Low speed shock to test the specs . All in all it is great work horse now . I am happy .
