You need to do the 3x3 mod and remove the PAIR valve if they havent been. Not 100% sure but it looks as though the PAIR valve hasnt.

These mods make it much more responsive in gear (ie easier to wheelie!)

Get a good lock

[Irn-Bru]

Like I'd let it sleep outside I keep it in the house just like I did with my DTR. Blocks the front door off but my bike is more important than a front door If I do use it for college I've got a load of locks as well, never had any issues with the old bike so I'm not worried.

Nice! My mate has one at work (not as clean as yours) with loads of race parts and stuff. One thing I have to say is it's foooking loud! When I had my monster I could just about compete on sound

Just a bit

Cheers I've seen much nicer DRZ's imo though, but some people go a bit far colour coding everything and stuff. Also the Arrow 'zaust is a absolute cannon of an exhaust but it sounds nice so I haven't bothered to change it

honestly, it's only now its gone that i realise what a GREAT bike the DRZ was, honestly i used it to get to work everyday (25 miles each way) absolute monster with 3x3 mod JD jet kit and MRD pipe with reliability to boot. they're built like fuckin tanks. honestly with the imact of that crash, any modern sportsbike would have broke into pieces.

What do you think of the arrow exhaust, i want to replace the stock on the 990SM but don't want to pay the 1.2k for them.

Well mine sounds lovely, no baffle or anything so not sure how they are from new. Pops and burbles like you'd expect, but it's a thumper after all £1,200 though? Bit pricey in my eyes.

Hmm I think yellow is best It's the colour I wanted originally but every single one for sale was ragged to bits.

I notice the front mudguard is quite different on the later SM models... mine is much smaller but completely useless in the rain/mud

Enjoy the bike and get on the DRZ400UK forum

nice bike. Revving, raring to go is what makes the riding experience out of this world. I envy you, in a good way.
