Good stuff TC, you wont miss that kickstarter.

Unless the battery goes flat :blush:

Has anyone with a DRZ ever had battery problems ?

I would love to buy a new Berg 390 or 450 but the lack of a kickstarter scares the shit out of me.

I can see why Berg’s didn’t bother with a kick start,when you loose voltage and your battery is nearly flat the fuel pump can struggle to run,my Husky needs 8 volts min to turn the pump,its difficult near impossible to kick start it.Just make up a small set of jumper leads and never ride with 2 strokes that don’t have batteries! :laugh:

:laugh: You should have bought a Sherco Twobanger. It primes on one kick and fires on the next. I have riden all day with a flat battery. Bloody hard to kick all day though.

Sorry for the highjack Chad. Congrats on the new wheels. You’ll love it. As Corey said keep a trickle charger on it and she’ll be all good.

hi Adam.
I would like to get out for a ride, but unable to register it due to lack of a reciept.
Hopefully I will have it registered before the holidays run out. It’s torture just having it just sitting there & not being able to ride it!
Also do you know any history of the bike?

No excuses accepted The Chad

It would be lucky if it had done more that 500km with Stuart. It needs a manual cam chain tensioner, and case savers. An oil change goes without saying as it would have been a couple of years since it’s last.

Get onto Thumpertalk and read the bike specific stuff on DRZ’s it will help
