how does the DRZ wheelie? as good as i've heard?


i'm stilling thinking of selling the F2 and getting like a CRF 250 or something.....

 

I'd rather break the frame tabs from a really hard drop and be pissed rather than hop down to the pegs and have one snap off because I underestimated the amount of strength my "mechanical fuse" needed.

 

ok now im going out to smoke and eat some mc d's

then go home early and paint my caliper bracket, then put it in an oven or something.

the catch is - this bike has to leave my house tonight (in the trailer of course)
and the trailer has to go to my friends house, same friend im picking up a boat for.

So I need to get this thign painted, dried, bolted up, and bled between the time i get home, and the time he gets home. Which is about an hour

 

It's rides like a 50 with sorft aftermarket suspension. It is tall as hell when you first get on it, but you get used to it.

 

Not going to happen. Paint it later.

 

yes, but f4i frames are very strong, and I have a cage so it wont be taking full force hits.

breakaway pegs are too dangerous. I'd sacrafice a frame before Id go wheelie on the highway on breakaway pegs

 

that's a good point...

 

Thats not an option for me, because i'll never do it. Im trying to avoid having rusty stuff on my bike

 

the suspension kinda buffets in and out when you go back to scrape if yoyur not smooth, right?

 

well what did he say about trading for that 1k ???

 

Flat black might dry in an hour.

 

i felt like i had to clutch it pretty hard ... when he puts his sprocket on it will be nice

 

Yup. Same for stoppies. You hit the front brake and feel like a submarine captain. DIVE DIVE DIVE!

 

can you do the bleeding at his house

 

It comes up way easier stock than any 600 with stock gears I have ridden. But yes it will be better -2.

 

He is in, he just needs to reassemble his bike....unless they are willing to trade with his bike in several pieces. He needs to get a hold of Andy to have him come out and help him put it back together. Andy is the gixxer master.

i will call them tonight and run it by them ... he probably wants a straight up trade i am assuming ... knowing their logic of thinking they will think their bike is worth more

 

totally awesome BURN!! :YEAH

 

eh i dunno i think a 600 came up way easier ... but its been a while since i was on a stock one
