Damn that thing looks like it has a healthy rear suspension. What head pipe is that?

The complete exhaust is a crd absolute product from a few years ago and it sounds really nice. Let me know if you want some better photo's of the pipe. Took her out for a run and she won't pull above 1/4/to 1/2/ throttle and fuel is coming out of the overflow pipe. So the carb is coming out for a clean up and stripdown. Also that seat  How come people didn't take them back. After about 10 minutes i was starting to hurt so that will be be getting modified. Took her for an MOT and she passed with an advisory for rear wheel bearings Also did my first mod and removed the upper chain roller and filled the hole with a blob of silicon.

Some more pics of the exhaust system would be awesome, what a rare exhaust, googling crd absolute dr650 yields no relevant info

Well pulled the carb apart checked the jets were clear and cleaned up the sticky float valve. Found the fuel air screw was only about 1 1/4 turns out so adjusted to 2 1/4 turns and adjusted the float height. She starts a lot easier and doesn't keep cutting out and no more fuel coming out of the overflow. Quite happy as i'd never worked on a carb before. But still bogs down on full throttle even tried pulling the choke which helped a tiny bit but can't get above 50mph. Then i noticed that the rear shock bump stop was soaking wet so it looks like the seal has gone. waiting now to see what the seller has to say.
