Ollie give your self an uppercut (hang on sore finger) ok slap your self because you are making sense and we are not use to that here. Not privy to buying jets so apparently there colour coded(jetting for idiots) is that right??????:blink:

hard to believe so much interest in this..must be plenty of secret admirers of the mighty DRZ.

but to reply to an earlier comment,
yes drz are heavy, but new bars and the risers gave a big difference to riding position, especially taller blokes.I`m nearly 6`2″ and it brings arm position up and forward,much more ergonomic.
I`m running motoz tractionator tyres with good results.
Also uprating forks and rear shock was my next move, just getting together money and finding right shop, seen somewhere on this site Jay Foreman in newcastle was mentioned..any comment on his work?

I’d be looking at the suspension first up. Most bikes can do with having it set-up for your weight style. The DRZ more so as the suspension is much softer from standard. This will make a big difference. Next would be a steering damper and then the exhaust stuff

Alloy bars comfortable grips and levers, good footpegs and suspension before any engine mods on a torquey little fourbanger.

Mate, I had Jay do the suspension on my DRZ and it changed the bike completely. I have still not ridden a bike that was so well set up, as in able to take the big hits without bottoming but still plush and DRZ-line in the initial stroke! It cost me $650 including postage which is cheap as chips. That got me new springs front and rear with revalving. I just told him what I weigh, how I ride and what I wanted out of it.

Cannot say enough good things about his work, give him a call for sure!
