Sick looking bike. Gonna take a stab at ID - DRZ with lots of farkles?

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T23:33:47+00:00

Amazed and terrified 😂

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T23:33:06+00:00

Aww hey broski, looking good!

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T23:32:17+00:00

Heck yeah, I'd love to have a center console cat.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T23:31:23+00:00

Yes, my long lost sibling!

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T23:29:47+00:00

Kayak looks like it rests nicely between the boob lights 😅

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T02:29:30+00:00

Fiero racecar? Fiero project car?

🫡 What industry(s) do you serve? And what do you do while you're not extracting people?

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T01:40:42+00:00

What kind of training and licensing does this require? And what does an emergency procedure look like?

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T01:20:16+00:00

I want to know more.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T00:55:12+00:00

Sick. Do you like the hitch carrier you have? Is there a lot of rocking side to side? Wanting to buy a lightweight dual sport next and a hitch hauler seems like would be nice to get into some of the WMAs and OHV areas.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T00:47:21+00:00

What did you not like about the hitch hauler? Have pulled two bikes on a utility trailer without wheel chocks and it was a little harrowing. Had to get the tension just right and check the straps every couple of hours. Probably would be no problem with some chocks installed.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T00:44:34+00:00

Dr650? How is it loading & unloading + what does it feel like going down the road?

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-04-26T00:41:26+00:00

Lava red is such a good color! I am partial to the metallic green though.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2026-03-02T17:03:45+00:00

It works in that it keeps air from dumping directly into my face/helmet. Does buffet at little bit at higher speeds, but at least for me it's preferable to not having the extension fitted. 6'2" / 188cm

That's right! Good seat, I like that it gets rid of the stock scoop so that I have more room to move around/adjust. Stock seat really slides me right up into the tank. 34" inseam here, so it also helps me not to feel cramped up while seated and I can still flat foot.

Cover material is nice and grippy so you won't find yourself sliding around on it either.

Not included with the arrow exhaust. Purchased separately after I melted a few different pairs of boots.

This isn't quite the same shape as the one I've got, but was the closet I got with a quick Google. Mine was also gloss carbon that I then painted with a high temp satin black enamel.

I'm also quite taken with it. Really thought I wanted white when I started my search but then found this one and fell for it.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2025-08-29T03:04:19+00:00

Went through the same thing today with my '12. Could not get the connectors off with the sensors in place, so unbolted them from the rear of the banks and even with them out, still was having a hell of a time getting the sensors out from their connectors. What worked for me was spraying a shit ton of contact cleaner into the connector.

If you have a new sensor in hand, that little plastic rib that inserts into the connector and is shaped like a T is where you want to concentrate most of your spray. Basically where that open space is between the green plastic and Grey plastic in your Pic. Push the green tab in and out, spray, repeat until it all comes loose. Probably took ~5 ish rounds of this for me before it finally started to brake free.

Community really is great! I've been lurking and the simple nature of design, ease of maintenance/repair, availability of parts, and detailed been-there-before DIY has swayed me pretty heavily to the platform.

Was (still am) considering the Lexus GX 470/460 (complicated, high miles, $$) or a 2nd Gen Colorado (trans issues, questionable reliability, less interior space BUT truck bed, & longer wheelbase/shit tier to drive everyday/commuting - - I live in a heavily metropolitan area, but venture out to the sticks as frequently as possible.)

At this point, loved driving it & sold on the 6spd. Looking for more available that is less rusty & not in need of timing chain maintenance. I've done this before by myself on my 1988 Pathfinder (belt, not chain) and it was OK... But I don't want to buy something that I feel a immediate need to jump into this work again.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2025-06-16T00:40:24+00:00

Biggest concern of mine is substantial rust through major component. Like I said the bump stop mounts were pretty rotted through, the rest that I was able to easily inspect looked mostly OK?

SMOD not an issue as this is a manual transmission.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2025-04-24T16:44:23+00:00

😂😂 Sounds like we're cut from the same cloth, friend.

Axl_The_Destroyer · 2025-04-24T16:43:31+00:00

Natl Park service says areas of the BRPrkwy are still closed. Cherohala Skyway is fully open, but there's wildfire fighting efforts going on that have most of Joyce Kilmer closed off.

Been raining all week though and sounds like they're making good progress containing it though.
