It might not harm the engine but to avoid any future occurance i suggest you'll start all over again with fresh oil of the same viscosity by draining the frame plug first. U can always keep the old drained oil for other purposes like cleaning ur oil filter, etc...

WTH is "mineral" oil being used? Rotella & regular motor oil are are petroleum products. No issues mixing.

I've got a 2008 DRZ400 S, with the 7/8" bars. I'd like to upgrade to 1-1/8" bars, and I would like to eventually be able to mount a Scott's stabilizer.

So, doing this the right way, not doing it twice...

Triple clamp, with 100mmx 38mm/40mm spacing, HDB top clamp and hand guards, with new bars.

Has anyone done this, any headaches?

I want to keep the computer/ odometer.

Trying to do this in one shot to eliminate freight charges ( I'm in BC) .

Thanks,

BD

I've done this on my DR650 (1-1/8' bars), you shouldn't have any issues doing it on ur DRZ. The Stabilizer can go on top on the bars if no bar risers are involved. When u contact Scott's co. they guide you to what u need. They have great customer service.

I am planning on using a regular over bar stabilizer for 7/8 bars and then 2in rox risers to convert to 1 1/8 bars. Scott's said it will work, but check with them again. I am not sure the rox risers are as stout though?

Take a look at them, they may suit you better

I have them on my DRZ and Rox (on my Bmer), both suit each purpose nicely

Also not one to do things twice I simply bought the full BRP/Scott triple with the sub-mount damper (which could have just as easily been the over bar kit) and a set of Protaper bars with the right bend then called it done.

I reckon that it shouldn't be made any harder than it needs to be...

I did something similar but used all Scotts products.

This is what it looked like with the stock computer:

I know this is older topic, but I said I'd report results of my gearing change. I originally wanted to slow engine speed down at slab speeds due to 40 mile comute at 70+ mph. I found a 38 tooth rear sprocket and with it I run a 14 tooth front. The results are astounding. The bike actually feels like its loafing along at 70MPH. In a flat section of slab I got er up to an indicated 97MPH. And to top it off I'm getting 60 MPG. And to really top it off It still wheelies with ease. Couldn't be happier.
