Hello Andy

Sounds interesting: I'll take your advice. I'm soon going to buy new
friction plates(those RM ones)
so it's better to add new springs to the shopping list.
By the way, I put recently Trelleborg spike tyres to myDR, and I can tell
you, it was
almost too much fun to slide those icy and snowy back roads with my bike,
so who needs that drz 400 anyway.

Thanks for advices Andy

Mikko

  Mikko i'd think twice about those RM clutch plates.I
once thought like you and was informed those plates
engage real HARD and have been known to chip teeth off
tranny gears.This info is from a very knowledgeable
source.He also informed me the stock plates in the
bike are made well and are the best thing to stick
with just my 2 cents.       John on long island

Subject: RE: (dr) Obsolete?!!

Here is what Webster says about obsolescence (my dictionary didn't list
obsolete):

Gone out of use, antiquated, no longer functional.

:)

"Discontinued from the factory" or "no longer in production" would be a
more appropriate term to describe our trusty and "functional, non
antiquated" DR350's (I love mine)

Not only do we own obsolete motorcycles we're a bunch of sniveling

Subject: (dr) Replacement Handlebars

A friend of mine with an XR600 said he bought RM80 handlebars for his bike to
make it more trail worthy and that I should do the same. Has anyone on the
list used these handle bars?

I don't want to cut the stock bars down for re-sale purposes, but they are
definately too wide for the eastern US type of woods riding I do. My friend
says the RM 80 are exactly what I need.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Thanks John
That info really scared me,when tranny goes first,
next goes whole engine.
It's not worth of that to play with RM plates.Better to stick with
new,stock DR plates.

To Andy: about rouble.Finland is in Scandinavia,currency is finnish mark
(Yes i know: who cares)I always write prices in dollars ,that everybody
would understand me.
Russia(vodka and roubles)is next to east.
Ooops,it's better to watch out what i'm talking, russians might hear me and
come to take
my precious  DR away ( lousy joke)
I still appreciate you a lot Andy from the Great Britain.

Cheers!
