Why did you replace the black piece with the white piece?

I replaced the stock tank 2gal with an IMS 4.2 gal tank... which I found out will take 4.6gal
now my range is >200 miles... where it was <150 also provides some radiator protection in falls... but I added some radiator guards anyways... over kill maybe... but better safe than sorry when it comes to the rads. |

How are you liking it? I want a dual sport pretty badly, but I don't know that I'm willing to have it as my only bike. Adding a second bike to the garage is something my wife most likely won't allow, but I REALLY want this:
2010 Husqvarna TE630 I want something road legal that is more dirt bike than street bike. The Huskys are pretty damn expensive though. |

I did look into that, and while it does look like a badass bike, the maintenance schedule is through the roof! The Husky is lower maintenance. The smaller dual sports both from KTM and Husky are MX bikes w/turn signals on them, hence the insane maintenance schedule. The Husky TE 610/630s are big and heavy, but there's a lot less maintenance. I don't want to be changing oil every day I ride it.

nice thing about the DRZ over the KTM is the maintenance needs... course that's about the only thing the DRZ has over the KTM... unless you count weight!
