Official Dual Sport BS Thread

I would never pay or sell second hand rims for that much money regardless of the maker

 

It's ridiculous! I could get brand new wheels for $650. But I just don't have the desire to do that.

Id rather buy a better bike to dual sport instead of the drz as well

 

Drz is king. Drz is life.

 

if you enjoy tractors

 

No, what i enjoy is low maintenance.

I want a race bike, without the maintenance.

 

I don't do much to my race bike. Change the oil every couple rides and I'll check valves this winter.

Plus a lot of the road ktms aren't maintenance intensive

 

Lol, pretty sure that doesn't exist yet. Maybe electric bike in the future.

 

My low maint tractor:

I mainly only ride the Wr450 in the dirt.

 

Good looking bikes.

 

Finally got my aluminum skid plate bolts out that were seized into the frame. Had to use a dremel to notch out a slot to get a flat blade screw driver in, steel bolts with be replacing those bolts. Its like those things had red loctite on them

 

In the bike week my bike has dropped 5mph at 6100-6200 rpm. I used to be able to run 61-62 at those rpms and now it runs around 55 56, any ideas on what it could be or where to look?

 

Valves? Temperature? Wind?

 

Same tires?

 

Try upshifting?

Idk sounds like click bait. I demand moar information!

 

Same tires, gearing, and does the same in all wind conditions. Upshifting doesn't do anything, Ima try the speedo make sure its clean

 

Half my electronics on my dual sport don't work. As long as my motor runs sweet that all I care because ca plated! My blinkers and head lights are shot.

 

I ride the road too much to not know how fast im going with the amount of cops around

 

Is the airbox dirty?
(this is me pretending to know something)

 

LOL the speedo is right on for the gearing so im guessing its the clutch. Ill call the shop tomorrow to get it in.

 

How do you like your 800? I've thought about getting one if I ever get rid of this FZ, local dealer usually has demo models for cheap but I've never taken the time to rid one
