Fitted a new front and rear sprocket to the DRZ last night in order to try and improve the range from the fuel tank. At the moment when riden enthusiastically the tank range is only around 150 kms before hitting reserve.

Standard gearing was 14/47 have changed to 15/44 which is what the US spec DRZ400S model runs.

Hoping that i am not going to lose too much punch out of the slower corners, but i might just have to use the gearbox a bit more
