I broke in my DRZ400 after a rebuild this way (top end and valves). Got 30,000 road km's on the bike before selling it. Still ran like a champ when I sold it. This is the way to go IMO.

Fresh oil My shifter was getting progressively stiffer. It was soon after I purchased the bike second hand and the guy that owned it before me had not used it regularly. I thought it might be the oil that he had used previously or how long it had been since the last service. Changed the...

I disagree with this one. The low and midrange are most definitely improved with more fuel/air mixture available whenever you need them. I bought mine of a guy that had an open license and I don't know how he coped with the bike restricted. Acceleration was completely uninspiring for me...

First time post here so G'day from Melbourne. I'm in the process if de-restricting my LAMS Diversion and am going to do what you did by manufacturing a replacement plate. I was curious to know how far the butterflies in the air stacks would turn using the plate pattern sold by Resart and...
