New, old rider (countryguy)

**countryguy** · 25th December 2009, 12:03

After an absence of a few years riding 2 wheelers have just brought a DR650 for riding to work and exploring the hills around Hanmer where I live.
Having ridin farm/trail bikes mostly I'm finding the DR is too high geared for steep tracks/hills where slow speed is needed. I have fitted a 14tooth sprocket on the front but need to try a 13tooth. Also badly need some knobblies to make life a bit more enjoyable ;-)
