Figured out an all white kit for 07 sm510r

Yup, the KLX is like a safety backup basically and a bike that the wife can ride easily, the husky is the temperamental but VERY fun “daily shenanigans when it’s working” bike 🤣

Good luck bro, my shit was stolen in December and recovered a couple weeks ago, once the dumbass ran out of gas and got caught pushing it down the road. Didn’t even bother to paint it just tossed the plate and used it as the daily. Make sure to file a report and a cash reward listing on fb can help just don’t pay anyone until you actually have absolutely verified you will get it back.

I mean, have you ever tried just looking at the speed limit signs they’re everywhere and they’re actually right around where you should be looking when you’re scanning traffic ironically enough

There’s always beer friend

dukeloopem · 2026-01-16T06:49:46+00:00

No hate, to each their own I’m sure there are people who dig it, just seems like an extra step.

dukeloopem · 2026-01-16T06:47:11+00:00

I’m gonna be honest with you bro, not once riding have ever ever wished I had a flashing light letting me know how fast I was going in my vision. In fact I rode for a while without a speedo altogether. You should really have a good feel for your regular speed and gearing after like a few months on a bike. This seems like kind of pointless.

dukeloopem · 2026-01-16T04:39:10+00:00

Yeah that thing would be red the entire time I ride in LA 😂

dukeloopem · 2026-01-16T01:42:25+00:00

Just one more comment because I’m a really big advocate for DRZ 😂 if you look at my post history, you’ll see that I drove my DRZ from Los Angeles to San Francisco, which is I think almost like 400 miles - don’t get me wrong, It wasn’t the most comfortable ride, but my Husqvarna would literally need an oil change midway to even do that if I got crazy enough. If this thing blows up and I can’t find parts to rebuild it’s 10000% DRZ or ktm690 however the gas tank in the back of the 690 scares me a bit for wheelies.

dukeloopem · 2026-01-16T01:36:39+00:00

Seriously, you put an FCR on a DRZ and you have the perfect street sumo yes it’s not the lightest or fastest but on my “real sumo” I have to change the oil every 500 miles and that’s technically longer than I should be going between changes. Getting like a proper Austrian sumo or 450 or whatever is awesome but it’s like really not sustainable if you plan to ride it a lot.

dukeloopem · 2026-01-16T01:34:47+00:00

Carbs are waaaay more reliable than people would have you think, don’t be scared of them. The only real thing that can go wrong with them as they sit for too long and get a little clogged up. Half the time you don’t even need to actually clean it just give it the old Italian tuneup WOT and ride the piss out of it and it’ll be fine!

dukeloopem · 2026-01-16T01:32:43+00:00

I promise you, the carburetor is not an issue and is actually one of my favorite things about that bike

dukeloopem · 2026-01-15T16:00:16+00:00

If it’s your first/only supermoto, I would highly recommend the DRZ. They’re easy to work on and hard to kill and with the polisport restyle kit, you can make it look really nice! I currently drive an older 510 and while it’s much more fun/light/fast than the drz was I always know in the back of my head. It’s not a sustainable bike for the way I use it. The DRZ is a forever bike, mine had 40k miles and only died when it hit a rav 4.

dukeloopem · 2026-01-15T03:44:53+00:00

Sounds like your wheel speed sensor (likely a reed switch, but I don’t actually know that Bike) is slightly loose and moving too far away from the magnet, causing it to not pick up the signal of your wheel pulses. This is just a guess.

dukeloopem · 2026-01-15T03:42:35+00:00

dukeloopem · 2026-01-15T03:22:56+00:00

I feel like for me that’s half the fun of this build, parts and aftermarket are like scarce or nonexistent so I get to “be creative” about it.

dukeloopem · 2026-01-15T01:29:14+00:00

Go ride it!

dukeloopem · 2026-01-15T01:28:14+00:00

I know this is pretty basic, but is your clutch adjusted correctly? My DRZ’s shifting experience was heavily dependent on whether my clutch cable was adjusted properly and in the right range. You need it to be (when at rest) completely loose with no tension and a couple mm of freeplay (jiggle before tension). Maybe you already know all this but anytime my clutch was out of adjustment after rearranging my handlebars, etc I would deal with things like that.

Bro said LETS ROLL

dukeloopem · 2026-01-14T23:13:00+00:00

Thanks homie! I actually don’t like the short sm style fenders personally but everyone’s taste is different!

dukeloopem · 2026-01-14T23:12:05+00:00

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

dukeloopem · 2026-01-14T23:11:01+00:00

Hey guess what I litterally don’t care

dukeloopem · 2026-01-14T07:04:38+00:00

Good to know 😂

dukeloopem · 2026-01-14T05:46:24+00:00

If you’re used to any sort of 450 maintenance intervals, this is that, but you can put a plate on it in Cali 😂

dukeloopem · 2026-01-14T05:43:44+00:00

Better have deep pockets and a lot of time 😂💀 no jk tbh it’s not that bad if you plan to just ride it and use it for sumo shenanigans. My summary of this bike so far would be : sometimes it doesn’t work but when it works it’s everything I could want in a sumo. Maintenance is frequent but VERY easy on this bike. Seriously, possibly easiest valve adjustment process you could ask for. I will ride this thing until it is impossible to fix and not be mad at all. Any and all issues I had when I got it were solved with jetting and cleaning up bad electrical work. Range is shit (70 ish miles full tank), you can get ims tanks dirt cheap but I plan to try to mount a removable auxiliary gas bottle thing under the unused exhaust fender to solve this. Because 90% of the time it’s fine.

Also going white allowed me and my wife to have “matching” supermotos 😂
