some memories are better then others but it is odd that the '50s seem more real then the '80's.

Guess I should post up and introduce my newest ride here....
Via ADVrider and the wonderful fleamarket thread I found a perfect way to upgrade my Trifecta
I found an inmate looking to get rid of his DRZ 400 and get a KLX250 at the same time I was looking to go from my KLX250 to a DRZ 400....

So we worked out the details to meet up in South Carolina for the swap

Rolled out the driveway and headed south around 5am

Met up with Paul in Greenville, SC just after lunch and swapped out

It was a long day of driving...but worth it
(driveway pictures were from the next day...we made it home just in time to not turn into a pumpkin. 870 miles in about 18 hours

)

Now for a bit more fun in the dirt....the KLX was a good bike, but I need something a bit more off-road savvy

The '50s were more real then the'80s.

congrats on the new bike EOD3MC, looks great, and looks to have some great upgrades on it.

DR-Zamboni · 12-12-2012, 06:12 PM

this may be a stupid question, but EOD3MC.... hows that sport bike style swing arm stand rigged up to the DRZ? I've never seen that on an enduro before. Are there spindles threaded into the swing-arm? I have an old set of stands for my GSXR collecting dust since i sold the bike, it would be nice to rig them up to the DRZ for when i do work.

Looks like the plan came together for both of you...

I keep getting bits and pieces of the Mid 90s, I sure wish I would have had a digital camera to help remind me what happened.........Bad thing is I am only 35

Creeker747 · 12-13-2012, 05:19 AM

I am looking to buy this used Yoshimura RS3 exhaust. The seller says it is for a DRZ and is titanium. When I look at the pictures I have a few questions:

1. The exhaust canister looks from the picture more like aluminum?

2. The bolt patterns all seem to jive with my DRZ400s in that this full system will be able to accept the stock heat sheild as I understand it. However, there's a black collar that I am not too clear about it's purpose. Maybe it clamps the section inserting to the pipe?

The seller says that he took it off his 2001 DRZ and put back the stock pipe because he didn't have the 3x3 mod and carb jetted.

Please comment if you have an idea about these questions, and it's value?

Thanks!!!

Looks to be in great shape, how much is he asking for it?

BTW, that is a OLD system.

Ah.. that balding spot seems to be more prevalent than I remember

It was good meeting you Dave, I believe we are both extremely satisfied with our swap. Can't wait to see what your next plans are for the DRZ, I frequent this thread so I'll be able to keep up with it!

Lots of plans for the KLX

I pulled the trigger, and bought it this morning for $160. Seemed like a good deal. I will put it on this weekend and see how things work out.

even though it was 36 degrees this morning, I had to ride to work because I jetted and 3x3'd my box the night before. I almost forgot what a difference it makes on this bike. Only difference was on my 06 SM I installed a full yoshi system too... oddly enough with a stock pipe opened up I don't really think there was much difference... but it's been a few years so maybe I'm wrong.

I also bought a jet kit online from factory pro... and the jet sizes they sent for the Main were ranging from 120 to 127.5... the stock is 142. I thought maybe they were aftermarket jets and actually just different numbers. When comparing side by side all the MJ's were much smaller than the stock jet. Luckily I had the leftovers from my Dynojet kit from my 06. and used a 150 MJ from that kit, and it performs flawlessly everywhere. Good thing too, cause I was not planning to take that shit apart again for a while :)

I like power wheeling out of corners in second gear... now to get through xmas so I can spend money on a bigger tank, rad guards and a second set of wheels... I love this bike (for the second time around) I don't think I'll be selling this one.
