I don't know why anyone would spend the extra money on

miles religiously. I followed the same procedure with my previous bikes
(XT350, RM250) and have never had a problem. I use a common 10W40 motor
oil. It's same stuff I use in my car and is sold everywhere here in
Pennsylvania. It meets all API SJ standards. Best part, it only costs
me
about $2.50 to change my oil, $5.00 more if I change the filter and O-ring,
which I usually do.
Hi Jim,
Welcome to the list! And thanks for your comments of agreement on the
synthetic oil. But I must say, changing your oil that frequently is also
unnecessary. The oil most certainly keeps its properties much longer
than that. Congratulations on taking such good care of your bike, but
it
really won't hurt to let it go longer, and of course also will not hurt
to change it that soon. It's just spending more money than you need to.

I too change my oil about every 500-700 miles oil using good old 10/40 natural
motor oil. Yes I could go much longer between changes, some say up to 3000
miles. But how many times have you changed your oil and either noticed something
that needs adjusting, fixed or adjust something that wasn't just right, or performed
other preventative maintenance. I don't think I have ever done just an oil
change.
Scheduling your oil changes frequently forces you to get your eyes on things
that might otherwise go unnoticed. A perfect time for adjustments and preventative
procedures while your tool are already out, your hands are already dirty.

Hi Mikko,
I just changed my clutch drive plates yesterday, after 35000 miles. The
driven plates are, as you say, steel and did not need changing.
Cheers!

discontinued the Megamax2 even when I wanted it back
in Oct of 99.I went with the Powercore4 and am very
pleased with it.My freind has the Megamax2 on his DR
and I think my muffler flows a bit better than his.The
downfall to the Megamax is in order to get good
performance out of it you need to place washers
between the discs to open up the spacing.This of
course produces more noise.His bike is every bit as
loud as mine when we are both on the bikes hard.At
idle his is a bit quieter.FMF now offers a new
improved version of my muffler the Powercore4-2.I got
the SA version(spark arrestor) to avoid any fines.If
you want maximum power out of a disc system it will be
as loud as a non disc system anyway.I plan on getting
the powerbomb header pipe in the spring.

I definitely agree with the above comments.
Note that some DRS models have a steering lock -- this feature means
that there's a hole in the headstock shaft. The more grease you zerk
into the headstock, the more flows through that hole and then down onto
the fender... :(
FYI,
Bryan

Subject: (dr) GPS route logs
A friend and I would like to ride the Government Road, aka The Mojave Road,
from Barstow, CA to the Colorado River. I have a very good book that goes
from the Colorado to Barstow. The markers along the trail are rock cairns.
These markers are placed on the West side of intersections. So if you are
riding from the other direction you might have to make a choice as to which
way to go. That is a decision I don't want to make 75 miles from nowhere.
I hope someone who has made the ride has saved a route log on their GPS. If
I could get their log I could download it to my Garmin III and be safe.
Thanks

Subject: (dr) DUAL SPORT HELMETS
Would like some input on Dual Sport Helmets. I recently ordered a Bieffe
3-Sport Helmet [Which was out of stock] but after 3 months they gave up
and sent me a refund. Before I ordered one again, I would like to know
if anyone has one, if they like it, and what are some other good
choices. I like the way the 3-Sport converts from dirt to street and the
price. But I have yet to actually see one, to see how I would like it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven Gilleland
