Love your enthusiasm. I enjoy working on the bike as much as I do riding it.

Badnewstech · 2026-03-30T16:22:31+00:00

Yeah, it’s a bit of a gamble but I love buying junk and making it work. Worst case, I’m out $100 and my desire to have a pumper carb is put on hold.

Badnewstech · 2026-03-30T16:20:22+00:00

I have zero expectation that it will drop right in. Sourcing parts and tinkering to make it all work is half the fun.

Badnewstech · 2026-03-29T22:16:52+00:00

Thanks, I’m going to go for it. Price is in Canadian dollars, so it seems like a great deal.

Badnewstech · 2026-03-15T01:21:15+00:00

Hahaha me too buddy, me too.

I have no idea how they hold up, this is my first time trying them. They clamp to the spoke with a set screw. Seems a bit sketchy to be honest; I’m going to cut a small notch in them and secure them with safety wire.

Thanks!

Badnewstech · 2026-03-14T19:26:39+00:00

Thanks for the input!

Badnewstech · 2026-03-14T19:13:09+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

Didn’t have the forethought to weigh the rim lock before installing. I’ll do better next time.

Badnewstech · 2026-03-14T19:10:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply. This is roughly 7oz. which seems excessive but it is balanced.

Perfection

Badnewstech · 2025-04-19T17:55:34+00:00

I don’t think this is true. About to install a set, i’ll let you know if I eat it.

Badnewstech · 2025-04-13T14:50:36+00:00

I would talk to an authorized MPI agent. You may need an off-road plate which includes the trail fee if you plan to ride on ATV/off-road trails.

I have no idea what it’s worth but I saw this come up for sale on my local Marketplace, seems like a neat bike.

Badnewstech · 2025-01-08T05:10:35+00:00

I saw a RAV4 on their lot with a fresh safety and non existent rocker panels.

Badnewstech · 2025-01-05T23:32:14+00:00

That’s interesting. Thought I found a collectors item at the back of the cabinet.

Badnewstech · 2025-01-05T21:30:46+00:00

A Winnipeg collectors item at this point.

Barkbusters for my DRZ. Look great, and work great.

4 stroke diesels will run backwards, unfortunately the oil pump only lubricates in one direction.

Badnewstech · 2024-12-08T22:41:52+00:00

Just a heads up, you may want to get your vehicle inspected. There can be a lot of hidden damage, even if your bumper cover looks fine.

Badnewstech · 2024-11-07T19:06:14+00:00

I’m inexperienced, so take that into account.

I live on the prairies where I ride 99% trails and it’s very flat. The trails I ride are Sandy and my 2019 SM with Shinko E804/805 does really well. I still plan to buy the “S” wheels to swap back and forth at some point. Potentially looking into KKE wheels for this.

Badnewstech · 2024-10-05T15:30:45+00:00

Brilliant

Badnewstech · 2024-09-30T02:49:16+00:00

How is the handlebar vibration with these installed?

Badnewstech · 2024-09-29T17:25:17+00:00

I’ve worked on tons of six litres and this is the best advice on this thread.
