Posted April 3, 201213 yr Hi Everyone, Just to introduce myself. I've just been very kindly donated a 1997 Dragstar 650 as a clean-it-up-and-get-it-started project in my shed. I'm not actively riding at the moment for health reasons, but hope to be able to take this bike around the block in the future. I have zero mechanical skills apart from lubing a chain - and I can't even do that on this bike! Well, first thing to do will be to get a new battery and sort out the fuses...but I'll get going with that on the other threads. So, this seems like a friendly forum and I look forward to finding step-by-step instructions on everything in these threads. Cheers.
April 3, 201213 yr Moderator Hi and welcome to the forum Felis. And a couple of old Suzi's in the past.................even better.
April 4, 201213 yr Hi Felis, welcome to the YOC, good luck with your project, some photos would be nice when you get a minute.
April 4, 201213 yr Yay, another 650 Draggie rider!! We do have the coolest bikes in town. We really do!!
April 4, 201213 yr Hi And welcome to the forum! click on the link in my sig and it will come up with my project and pics of how the bike looks when its stripped down so could be of some use to you?
April 4, 201213 yr Welcome Changing the battery is a nice easy job as I have just done mine, remove side panel, unscrew the battery terminals. remove large elastic band holding battery on and out it comes. Fuses are just above the battery.
