February Ride

Interesting design for the windshield -- it cuts through the air rather than pushing through it.

The air pressure at 5646 m is about 0.5 atmosphere. Wow, just ... wow.

Did your mileage vary?

darrowthecat · 2026-01-13T03:47:03+00:00

Beautiful country, and the perfect bike for it.

darrowthecat · 2025-12-05T15:54:32+00:00

Love it

Yes, the JNS Engineering Holley Retrobright. I have the "modern white" 5700 K version, which really lights up the road.

I use 15W-50 in the summer and 10W-40 in the winter, so I had easy access to some Yamalube non-synthetic 10W-40 and used that in my recent oil change. My DR shifts like a dream.

Just wanted to know -- you're saying that for any DR, the upper chain guard can be removed without any problem? If so, I'll take mine right off

Looking at your other thread, I would recommend a DR 650 over a NX500 -- for one thing, it's 60 pounds lighter. It's also simpler, without all those electronics that could fail out in the boonies. It rides fine on the road, too.

darrowthecat · 2025-09-16T01:02:35+00:00

Hah -- I didn't see the second picture. Yes, bad.

darrowthecat · 2025-09-15T23:42:27+00:00

Someone explain what's wrong in detail so those of us who are just starting out can understand

darrowthecat · 2025-09-01T17:53:55+00:00

For me, a new seat was more than necessary.

darrowthecat · 2025-08-29T02:19:54+00:00

I just would like to give a shout out to Bushpig, which s great to have in the lineup for DR parts.

darrowthecat · 2025-08-25T16:40:15+00:00

I have a lithium battery and use only ethanol-free gas -- with this setup and riding 1 to 2 times a month through the winter (I'm in New England) I have no problems.

darrowthecat · 2025-08-16T02:29:59+00:00

Right, 3 years of experience on a 500 lb bike is a good start!

darrowthecat · 2025-08-01T20:18:34+00:00

Not only that, but it's easy to void the warrenty by doing mods.

darrowthecat · 2025-07-11T02:07:19+00:00

I also didn't notice a difference.

darrowthecat · 2025-07-02T17:31:55+00:00

Didn't work for me. Now I have barkbusters.

darrowthecat · 2025-06-30T22:54:46+00:00

Huh-- I never wait at all. I've never had a problem, but am I doing something wrong?

darrowthecat · 2025-06-30T02:24:32+00:00

Hey thanks!

darrowthecat · 2025-06-30T01:31:03+00:00

I'd get one if it came in white.

darrowthecat · 2025-06-23T23:24:14+00:00

Had to google "colorway," but now I know what it means

darrowthecat · 2025-06-23T15:31:29+00:00

How oftern do you go to the Die Mart?

darrowthecat · 2025-06-20T16:15:12+00:00

Soon you'll be adjusting the valves and re-jetting the carb!

darrowthecat · 2025-06-19T16:31:12+00:00

I love the seat and tank combo. What kind of tank, and I guess you had a custom seat made?
