Ma new bike. She's a DRZ-400 'E' converted to supermoto. 2001, 7200 miles.

Running talon hubs and morad rims
CRD pipe (with a few other intake mods)
Big Brake conversion
Renthal bars and risers
Sits on Bridgestones, 150 on the rear, 120 on the front.
Supermoto gearing using renthal gold sprockets and a DID gold chain.

Quite an interesting history in that she was actually built and owned by K2 racing, usually prepare radicals and the like for racing (have done some lemans stuff), and built there as a side project. As such, the work would have cost nearly 5k, but they could do it for much cheaper hehe. It stops like nothing else I have ridden, and even with the longer gearing will power wheely nicely in second and clutch up in third and fourth wooo. Only things it needs are a non aluminium, slightly less illegal numberplate and a speedo!

Also came with the full enduro kit, a full set of sprockets, a whole set of yellow body panels and as a bonus, the enduro rims have michelin competition enduros on them.

It's running a 36 tooth on the rear, not sure on the front, may be stock (14-47 as stock).

Previous owner reckons 105 on the trail tech speedo. Gonna up it to a 42 tooth on the back cos I really don't need it that quick, and I really don't have need of a second gear that runs to 45.

Yes, it was fucking expensive. Wink

Got some dyno time booked next week as I reckon it's running lean. Got a slight hesitation when the throttle is banged open, then she pulls like a train.

Nice, do you know if any tuning work's been done on it?
Sounds like it's a bit livelier than my CCM, though I've really got to clean the carb out sometime.

Don't know the exact specs of the motor. My boss has ridden it (owns 2 KTM 525s and a 660) and says it's way stronger than it should be.

I'm going to get the damn thing set up properly if it kills me. Plus the dyno print out will show if anythings been messed with outside of the airbox, filter, exhaust and carb mods i know of.
