What did you do to your DRZ400 today?

Well I dropped the air pressure to about 12psi and “tested” the tire a little on my way home from work. It made a pretty noticeable difference and I would call the front end tolerable now instead of terrible. I got em in some mud and some loose shale, the mud was actually a little easier than the shale. The rear tire actually seems to grip half decent most of the time.

I have heard some say that after about the first 500 miles on the front that it will settle in and get better.

Hopefully...

I'm not a big fan of the D606s. The rear is ok, the front sucks. I suggest after you wear out yours try something else. I like the Pirelli Scorpion line much better than the D606.

What  is better about the Scorpion Line compared to the D606? Can you be more specific?

The D606s have a tendency to wash out, especially the front. Not so with the Scorpion (the XCMH and Pro work great out here). Rear traction is better, also. Didn't really notice a difference in longevity, but I don't let tires wear too much before replacing them. Street manners are fine. Overall, I find the Scorpion to be the better tire.

Today I rebuilt my rear brake caliper and installed new brake pads. Then I put on my IRC GP1 equipped rear wheel that I plastidipped the other day.

Trying to decide if I should go ahead and repeat with the front wheel, caliper and brake pads tomorrow....

Not here. Believe it or not,  but that park is over 2 miles away by water.

How did you get that pic of my wife?

[802trip]

In the proccess of turning my 2017 DRZ into a colorful piece of art. Hundreds of random ass vinyl stickers. I was going to wrap, but this is cheaper and looks a whole lot more dumb as sh**. My girlfriend loves it though and she has been having fun adding to it, thats all that matters.

Looks pretty cool, always good to see something different [emoji106]

Finished painting the stock rims. Now I am on Nipple Duty. Only 60 more nips to paint.

Tried out the wheel tape thing. Not sure about it yet.

I like the creativity of you guy's, but I wouldn't ride/own a rolling fruit salad.[emoji32]

Fruit Salad? Those were smoothie straws to protect my spokes while painting the rims black. Black rims with blue nipples is the goal.

I saw that Bulldog spokes have anodized nips in blue, and it turned out awesome on Signman606s bike.. this is my cheap man's version. A couple cans of flat black auto primer, a few cans of satin black rustoleum and the blue is a metallic blue found at Hobby Lobby for $2 bucks... few hours later and about $15 in paint. Walla!

I do agree though, the colored straws would have been a little much.

I know your a tough guy Harley rider, but that's a little too close to the rainbow movement for me, Still I like the uniqueness and creativity.

McDonald's straws were just a bit too small to cover the OEM nipples... plus they looked at me funny when I grabbed a handful of them when ordering a Happy meal for my son.

To get one thing straight. I don't have a Harley but I do have a super sweet 2002 BMW R1150R.
