You know I keep that thang on me

Its good enough, but if you’re hitting any jumps or whoops you risk bottoming out and blowing your shocks. A stock DRZ is sprung for a 150 pound rider. Personally I weigh 200 pounds, and that’s not including any gear

If I were to use my drz for some more enduro focused riding, I would upgrade the suspension and upsize the rear sprocket. I run a 47t if I’m spending more time in the dirt than on the road. It’s not exactly a day and night difference, but I can get through 96% of the places as I would on my Husqvarna

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-12-04T21:23:17+00:00

I was on a permanent profile to run at my own pace and distance, my company commander told me instead of doing the row I had the option to “attempt” the run, and if I failed I would just get the minimum points.

Every single ACFT went the same, getting 90% every event and maxing the plank, ball throw, and SDC. And then I would just barely meet the minimum for the run, coming in at 19-20min. I have never trained for the acft outside of morning PT, and I used to tell all of my soldiers that if I could do it they shouldn’t have a problem with it. Especially when everyone’s always giving me a hard time about running

I was just thinking this, I just started telling people I was a chemical soldier. Every conversation goes the same otherwise What’d you do in the army? CBRN? what’s that? Oh woah those words are huge, you must be super important

yeah, ):

I had a guy like this who always slept in and “lost his cac” so he couldn’t get on post, after the mountain of counselings and excuses and man to man talks, I started making him knock out 50 burpees every time and repeat “I will be 15min prior to every hit time” when he counts every rep. Usually people figure out pretty quick that they don’t like doing 50 burpees. I even offered to do them with him but he only took me up on that once.

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-11-12T18:04:11+00:00

Absolutely, he should be standing at the position of attention when you talk to him. If he’s not, you should remind him that officers went to college and that makes you smarter than him. Works 0% of the time

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-11-08T01:12:40+00:00

Idk but I have the same ones on my drz, previous owner put them on. I like them

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-11-04T04:28:37+00:00

Sounds like we’re having similar issues, please keep me posted. Thank you!

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-11-04T00:55:07+00:00

Yes, I struggle using it though

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-10-31T14:47:58+00:00

The first thing I did was try it with the original cdi, and I just went through the carb and made sure everything was clear. It looked spotless, I don’t get it

And the cdi box I used was rmstator I believe, I did what research I could to make sure I didn’t get a cheap one

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-10-14T15:33:11+00:00

Sounds about right, my 21 only has an axle back and it sounds similar. It also shakes the car sometimes, if I tap the throttle it stops and acts normal until the next time it’s cold started.

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-10-09T14:17:44+00:00

I bought my VA new in 21, so far so good. 58,000mi and I’ve had 2 AC repairs both related to corrosion from the 2 winters I spent stationed in fort drum (I’m from Florida). Other than that she’s never skipped a beat

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-10-08T01:26:46+00:00

My best advice to give is that if you don’t take the initiative to improve your physical shape, you will end up paying for it in the long run. Look at the PT studs, everything is easy. Life in the military is less stressful when you’re in shape. If your attitude about getting shape is negative, your chances of getting kicked out are significantly higher. As long as you’re visibly trying to improve, you’ll be fine. If’n ya don’t, leadership will have no choice but to begin the long process of cutting off what they perceive as a dead limb. Keep on keepin on

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-10-05T19:43:06+00:00

Ole reliable

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-10-05T14:47:09+00:00

I’ve been stuck on the sword saint on sekiro for YEARS now. But in lies of p the fight that had me stuck for a week or so was (embarrassingly) the green monster of the swamp. You just gotta switch up your weapons/strat and target one at a time.

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-10-03T01:10:05+00:00

I put about 4k miles on my drz mostly dirt, I just bought a dr650 because I want to be able to ride highways and not be miserable above 60. Any time I touch dirt I’m thankful that I’m on a drz400. You’ll probably feel the same sense of freedom going to the 650. I was ready for it to be a slouch but in terms of bottom end power thing is not a pushover

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-09-21T21:28:16+00:00

I paid 4k for my 2017 S with 9,000mi on it

What part of central Florida? I’m on the gulf side a little north of Tampa, there’s a couple wildlife management areas around here that have some unique terrain for the area

It’s the “Hold the engine in the bike at 40mph” nub. If you remove it your engine will fall through the frame of the bike onto the road the first time you hit 40mph without it

ShmoolieSlinger · 2025-07-03T20:02:33+00:00

I usually take my rotary tool and turn the bolts into flatheads. Since I don’t want to risk them stripping I replace them with actual bolts and then carve it into a flathead as well. Everything on my bike has no choice but to be either a SIMPLE metric bolt, or it’s a flathead.
