    in reply to: Sutto’s worth the drive!! #171795

    Well I made the pilgrimage to Sutto’s today to pick up my tyres and some bits for the trip.
    I was really impressed with the new modern shop and the good old fashioned service :) Jay really looked after me and even fitted my new lense to my goggles for me while we chatted about the Cameron cnr trip. I even got a really good Old Bull discount!! :woohoo: It doesn’t get any better than that! Except maybe a branch in Hornsby :ohmy: Thanks Jay for the service with a smile I look forward to coming back for a visit soon mate ;)

    in reply to: introduce myself #186294

    Welcome aboard Jim, you are in good company here mate, lots of old bulls and some younger ones too!! The drz is a good solid trail bike and though it may not be the the fastest bike around it will take you anywhere with a lot less maintenance than most. B) Look forward to seeing you and your Banana on a ride soon. :)

    in reply to: Engine life expectancy. #186184

    They are very reliable for normal trail riding, but do not like big transports with long 5th gear work. The gearbox is the problem and if you have ever seen one pulled down you will know why!! The gears are machined out to save on weight etc and therefore do not make them the best machines for long distance work. They used to have a sticker on the bike and also the workshop manual saying Quote,” This motorcycle is not designed or intended for continuous on road use :huh:
    pleases discuss intended use with your yamaha dealer prior to purchase. :dry:
    But they have been used for long rides and performed very well, Tony Kirby used two when he rode across Australia East to west and they did the job really well and they broke the record at that time. I think its a case of horses for courses and you pay your money and take your chance. :)
