Light weight, punchy engine, grip for days and you can just chuck the bike around how ever you please, brake as hard and as late as you wish. Leg out knee down take your pick. Go and carve up some big boy bikes now hahaPics are awesome.. That bike, I want to have a go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 4y 11m 17d Posted 07/02/21 07:34 AM Share Posted 07/02/21 07:34 AM It sounds like you're on the right track. This unfortunately is the trade off with motards and finding the gearing sweet spot. I geared mine up for the commute I had at the time and when I would setup for the kart track 14/47 - gear it short. I then found the balance in the middle, got jack of swapping sprockets and left it at 15/44. My DRZ could always have used an extra gear though. It looks like your bike is in full on mx gearing.. Wouldn't hurt to go up a tooth on the front which might calm it down a little bit.Going through some old photos motard life, the rmz I used to prepare for a mate in another life, full house, ohlins everything, titanium as far as the eye can see. Gun rider too but that bike made me tingle haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
