Old Bull Project DRZ400

Let me preface this post with “I like Chop.” He could beat me to a pulp in a heartbeat!

But when I saw him ride I had that circus tune running in my head. You know the one that plays when all the clowns pile out of the mini??? Made me smile.

…but then I think I overtook him once and he had the pleasure of seeing me become intimate with Mother Earth!

I had the same pleasure Shane. You and that log didn’t make freinds did you

I saw Chop fishtail so bad all the way up a knarly hill (and make it) that I don’t think Evil Kenevil himself would try and attempt to copy it :laugh:

So the Doctor has about 900kms on it since we screwed it back together and its going on the Hillend ride next weekend. Chop Chop and I had a chat regarding the few short comings I thought it had when I took it out on the Zig Zag – Orange ride with Moto, Boulder and Tiny. The biggest thing that needed fixing was the gearing, the standard gearing was way to slow or maybe was more of a put of with the engine screaming maintaining 100kph on the dirt roads or bitumen.
Easy fix, of came the rear 47 tooth stealth sprocket and on went a new Talon 41 tooth just to allow it to cruise a bit better and the DR is a torquey little engine that will allow you to use its mid range and pull this gearing nicely.

A road test showed that the sort of revs it used to do at 60kph in 5th its now doing in 4th instead, yet first isn’t to tall when I came through the single line down the back of home.

Yamahas#1 (aka Young Michael) from next door came over and gave me a hand, we fitted a set of Pivot Pegz quick read of the instructions by Mick (must have been only pictures lol)

and next thing they are fitted

We gave it a quick oil and filter change and checked the post that Holeshot started regarding the breather tube re-route for DR’s and carried out the mods as explained on the link someone else added

Tubes at the Carby

Up at the air box

Chop had a new Dunlop K695 or something round and black, Mick and I chucked it on, check Micks shoes, shoes of a bandit I reckon, a back door bandit :laugh: lol

Micks tyre changing form

That’s all he did

Some photos of the force radiator guards that Fathead hooked us up with when we built the bike, showing here how they bolt back to the frame, I would recommend the guards they are a good thing and fit straight up no mod required.

Thanks for your help Mick, remember to come over next Friday night, you can have a coke and meet the boys

Its ready for pick up Chop Chop

I would consider a front disc plastic cover like the RMX has keeps out a lot of mud and crap.
also the nice shiny lower fork legs cop a hiding and need protection I made some carbonfibre/kevlar ones for the RMX and they do a great job.
hope all goes well with the DR

We cant buy an over the counter disc brake cover because of the oversize disc we have fitted
