It was not the diaphragm that was at fault.

Finally got a chance to take my new to me DRZ out on some single track today...

This was a replacement for my KLX250S....and an addition to the stable of a KLR and KTM Adventure...and it fits in nicely

Trails were slick as snot with a bit of rain, mud and plenty of leaves....with the exception of needing some new tires..the bike is perfect for my riding.

Paul....just had to post you a couple pictures of the current state of the nice clean bike you handed off to me last weekend.

The DRZ can be set up to cope with anything... It's not just about springs though, shims and oil have a lot to do with the way a bike behaves. Find someone that knows what they're doing (professional tuner) and get it set up for your specific riding style. Done properly it will transform the bike.

my buds 2010 drz400sm was stolen from birmingham, al

I pick up my bike today.

Too bad it's raining and I'm a noob and don't have any rain gear.

The few days it actually rains in San Diego it happens when I buy my first bike

Yep sure did, running a bit rich at the moment but I'll get it tuned out. No more weeping half moons though after the head cover gasket replacement, valves were in check, and all is well!

Have fun on Wednesday, what tire did you go with? D606?

EOD3MC · 12-17-2012, 04:49 PM

Nope, trying a Kenda 760 this time

Don't intend to use it for much road work

I know a few people running the 706s, they have good things to say, let me know your thoughts after you break them in!

Leoffensive · 12-17-2012, 08:16 PM

Hey Bundy, I fabricate and sell dual sport luggage racks. Those side cases are the Givi E21's on my side racks. They're light as a feather and proving to be extremely useful. The rear rack comes ready to bolt on a RotopaX Gas Pack if desired. See my signature for the link to my website. Thanks, Tom
