You should have traded months ago.
Don’t bag the banana bunch matey we’re a growing force :laugh:
And your dads one!!
I was one to but a green jelly bean feels so much better to ride
After the tekniks treatment I am now really happy with this bike, it rides great, just looking at more fine tuning. Plus I just enjoy spending my hard earned on dirt bikes
Bana (an Old Bull) had a reliable banana, fitted a big bore kit, blew up twice hasn’t been reliable since. IMO any bigger bore kit unless the engine was designed for it will compromise reliability simple mechanical science and facts prove that. The rod big end mains, cases etc are designed for the pressure and load that the standard bore puts on them, bigger increases that so it WILL wear it out faster
Buy a bigger bike or ride this one to its full potential

Next time your out riding Nick, take note of how often you have the throttle wound to the stops and are wishing it had more. I don’t think you will find it happening too much mate, especially off road. Just a thought

I was thinking more of the advantages of bigger bore bikes on adventure rides and wondering if I could acheive this with the lighter DRZ.
TB- I have fitted bigger bore kits to small engine road bikes in the past and it certainly wore then out quicker than if left alone but they were much higher revving 2 strokes so I didn’t know if this would apply to the Drz. Sounds like it would, and the whole point of owning the Drz is reliability.
Cheers

Nick I have ridden adventure bikes and weve had drz400s on the ride standard, they are a great bike as is you’ve done the suspension thats all you need to do.

Talk about coincedence!!!
I have just finished reading this months TBAM and my thoughts of a big bore kit to improve my Drz and make more of an adventure bike have been put to rest.
Theirs a great section on how Steve Crombie set up a WR250R as and adventure bike and rode Datwin to Sydney via the Simpson desert ‘ easily’
