Weird... have followed your threat, this is the nicest DRZ I know of :) It will go :)

I am thinking of a quarry thing tomorrow 2pm till 5pm. Who's doing what around Cape Town?

My cousin put a hole into his header pipe on his GSXR 400 (K76). Anyone have one laying about, or know where I can source one cheapish?

Run 13 - 40. You want it nice and responsive  :thumleft: 14 - 44 is stock. I run 14 - 47, slightly longer but not much. If you google there are these algorithms that calculate what change you will get by shifting sprockets up and down. Very cool. Just run 15 - 44. Keep it simple.

I know of the KLX400, being a DRZ400 in green. What's the story with the KLX650? if it's got the same logic / intention as the 400 it must be wild.

I have a DRZ 400 E. I am looking for the two triangle mounts that attach the tank to frame.

Please put up sizes. Will see what stuff I "need".

Have you seen my handy work?  ??? hahaha. I will try :)

That's an interesting business philosophy  ??? But still I need tank mounts.

Will do. Tried to buy stuff off him before. He seemed reluctant to sell. But will call and see :)

On the DRZ E there are two plastic triangles that attach to the under-side of the tank, these then fasten the tank to the bike. I don't suppose anyone has a set of these plastic triangles (and the rubber inserts to go with them) laying about? Don't wanna pay the stealership prices unless I have...

They are awesome for commuting if you aren't on the highway (which I guess is only possible in Slaap Stad). I throw mine around like a 'tard on the tar. (That's a motard, the bike, not a retard, the rider).

Another thing to check: have you recently softened the back suspension? Hardening the back suspension can fix it. My DRZ (because I run knobblies on the tar) can get quite a wobble around 120km/h, I then ride with one hand on the handlebar, it reduces the wobble. But that's not K53 approved...

Tire pressure (easy) Sounds like head bearings... to check: Put bike on stand so front end is off the ground, turn steering left and right, if it doesn't turn smooth and easily all the way, that's your problem.

Took it for a burn last night. Bishopscourt to Constantia Nek and back. Gave my cousin on his GSXR 400 a good run through the corners. Very fun. Very silly. Full knobs, riding like a motard.

I know of another DRZ that was fitted with Big Boy scooter mirrors. Similar price. Big smiles.

There are a few vendors who can source tanks - but DR650 parts are scarce in SA (www.renz.co.za may be able to help you out). Doing it yourself either from ebay or justgastanks.com will save you between R400 and R1000, depending on the tank and mark-up and all that.

It has been done. N[]va did it. Superfoxi in cape town did the (rather excellent) work on the forks. The SM and S models come out with a lower-spec butterfly carb. The E model came stock with an FCR card. The S is an offroad bike, it is tamer and has lower compression, so probably a more...

Very happy to hear you are getting good use out of the fan :) My bike is up and running. Now to find time between work and parenting to ride...  :'(

His mother says when he is 16. I say 4. So we'll compromise and I'll get him a pw50 when he is 8 :)
