What do you like more DRZ or SMC
 
I miss the power of the SMC compared to this. but the SMC had its issues too.

I guess if I had the extra money the smc would be my pick but the DR will work out great once I get it to where I want it.

Don't do it. Had a freind that went nuts with his DRZ (440 kit / high compression... Etc). Spent a small fortune on it - still a whole lot heavier then my 530 and about as reliable as my 530 was. He went through two top ends in one summer in 08. Not a good summer. Result - he sold it. :wtf

If you want a power ape - KEEP your DRZ and buy a closeout 08 old stock SXV 4.5 - they are going for DIRT cheap. The cost would be about the same:

If he went through 2 top ends in a summer he was going wrong somewhere. There are plenty of high mileage (40k+) DRZs out there with BB kits on them. A quality BB kit is around 350$, so depending on if you do your own labor or not, you can get a good boost for under a grand, between that, a flatslide, and some cams.

The motors are tuned really soft stock, especially when you get the street model without the proper flatslide on it.

You need to change the oil 6 times to the DRZ's one in an SXV, by the way, and that's if you're doing the 500 mile changes. There's a lot more to cost of ownership on those SXVs than just purchase price.

How does it do in the dirt with the SM suspension? Or did you soften up the ride for off-roading?

I never bothered stiffening it up for pavement to begin with. Stock is OK for my 145lbs.
It is a problem jumping it hard, it will bottom out completely but for fire roads its just fine.

just got my first ticket of the season pic...

no hooliganism...

i have a hold on my license to only be able to go to school and work... got pulled over at ohlone college and cop decided to still ticket me for driving with suspended license... sucks but hopefully the traffic court will take care of it... i mean, i was pulled over on school grounds.

lesson to be learned, fill out that form that notifies the dmv of an accident no matter how small a fender bender it is. im still waiting for them to clear my license after sending in that form 2 months ago.
 
Here is a pic of mine from last summer, now it has a black frame and black plastics along with FBF triples, red Samco hoses, and a bunch of other little bits here and there.
