whats the width on that tire Goku? my 140's were chewed up a bit too; time to swap to an O-Ring chain though (among more maintenance tasks than i can count... just need time and space...)
on a side note, my trailer hitch installed without a hitch {/pun.intended}
so now to look for the smallest portable trailer to tow my bike to the N.Shore ...or sell the DRZ and pickup a dedicated dirt bike finally...

Thanks for the offer. Fast bikes returned my email. They don't have ohlins stuff for my bike. Wanted to send my forks and rear shocks for Ohlins guts, but it's a no-go. I'll just re-valve my own forks with stock internals.

Come my place. I have a chain breaker with riveter and wheel alignment tool. Can do it in 30 mins.

So where do you guys buy your motor oil? Looking for alternatives. Motorex + 5~10hrs motor oil + 10~15hrs trans oil maintenance isn't cheap. Heck, I'm contemplating the rotella stuff and make the maintenance intervals shorter just to cut cost.
Haven't converted the 530 to a sumo, yet. Still rocking the enduro wheels. Not sure which bike to put down first for maintenance and upgrades. Planning to install a rally-e cam on the SMC and run a thinner head gasket. Also been putting off on the fork revalve. Yes, I'm lazy.

Auright, I'm at Disneyland and spent more money then I wanted to on this trip. Will post the SMC on the classifieds when I return. I just rebuilt the forks and adjusted the valves to spec.

Looks I'll be selling my DRZ400s as well, my friend who's garage I keep it in, is moving 
i may have enough room to tuck it in behind my subie for a while, but ultimately i'll be easier to sell now and pickup a proper dirt bike w/trailer later (hoping to do that soon)...

daaaaamn, well hopefully its for the better.
I wish I could say I have room in my garage, but to be dead honest, its packed so full of bikes/cars/tools I can barely get around in it lately. Let me know if/when you decide to sell, I'll post up at work for ya (800+).
