motogb in tauranga had one when in there week or so ago

[Alpha Solo]

Cheers all,

I missed a couple down here last week, just sold a bike and dont wanna blow the cash on anything other than another bike! I was looking at exotics but have a KTM already and a DRZ which is bulletproof but would prefer the motard version to commute on (and act like a hooligan )

sure hes keen to get rid of it as hes had it for a year

Cheers for the link mate, 1200km from new with a few frilly bits seemed a little suspect for an import?

Anyway, I rode one today and found the front seemed to get a little bit of speed wobble at around 125km - any ideas DRZ owners? Or could it be that the previous owner was a little heavier and the suspension was set up for him?

again cheers in advnace

[AlBundy]

Mine never had any issues. Was dead stable at 140...

[Alpha Solo]

Thanks Al.

I was riding it on a rural back road, maybe the steering head bearings need a little bedding in or something, the bike had only done 2k, I will have to sort out the suspension to suit my weight - I haven't experienced that feeling since I rode a skateboard down hill ...

Looking forward to a little 'commuter hooliganism'

[AlBundy]

The KTM weaves at higher speeds... Saw 186 on speedo and it was weaving like a drunk bastard... I haven't got around to checking wheel allignment or forks etc but I'd like to sort it...

So yeah, may be something similar.

I do recall people on Thumpertalk saying the sumo'd offroad DRZ's were more unstable and prone to weaving...

Was it a weave or a wobble?

Could be no one bothered to balance the wheels after fitting tyres?

[Alpha Solo]

Cheers again Al.

I will get the beast into my garage for a little adaption, I've got a 400E which I will take the carb and header pipe off and a few other bits to wake the DRZ up a bit. oops looks like I might be buying one!

[AlBundy]

Why don't you just get wheels, etc. for yours? Or is your DRZ not street legal?

[Alpha Solo]

Picked up a near mint 08 in black yesterday, fitted a rear rack and then rode 650 km's south and back,

I gotta say I love this bike, it's bog standard (but I will be doing the usual stuff to it soon), been great for back roads etc...

[AlBundy]

Good to hear dude.

Hope it gets better when you put the bigger carb on.

Have fun, take it easy...

[Alpha Solo]

Just off to do the Dusty Butt 1000, after which I shall return to fit the larger carb / pipe / airbox / jets / Vapour etc, but I am quite happy with the results at the moment.

Riding this made me feel 10 years younger!
