Nope, by the time you are deep enough for water to reach the top of the airbox, you are pretty much fucked anyways, regardless of the inlet size.

My opinion, of course.

I actually cut a hole through my side cover too for even more flow...

+1.

If you're that deep the water is going to be on the seat and you're in the poop.

my boets u ous dont know me very well and i done that to my 1150adv like 2 or 3 times..last time was vapour lock abnd all

)

I have 3 set of radiator guards for sale

R650

3mm Ally. Great build and design.

Super easy to install.

Takes me 20 mins, so you can probably do it in 10

Have just send the Meerkat in to have the stator re-wirred

. This is the 2nd time, did it first time about 30000km ago. How many of you had problems with your DRZ's stator ?

I had, rewound it as well. Some reckon it's better just to buy a new one as it will never be the same again.

Common problem.
Best to get it rewired by a reputable place since thy know how to make them better &longer lasting.

Thanks, I did that, Auto electrision (specializes in bikes

) had a few customers bringing their DRZ with stator problems

Seems to be the only real problem these bikes have

Just had my 30 000k service done.
Cleaned the regulator - the contacts were a bit corroded.
Valve clearance in the middle of spec after 15 000k's!
Everything thing else perfect!
One happy chappy

Then your'e a lucky man letsgofishing.Just picked up my bike now.R 7187 later.New valves,timing chain & rings.Took it for a 200km spin and she's going fine again!

letsgofishing · « **Reply #1836 on:** May 07, 2012, 04:07:45 pm »

Did the timing chain and rings (not the valves) at 15 000k.
No probs so far!

Frannarossi · « **Reply #1837 on:** May 07, 2012, 04:31:33 pm »

Fark and I thought 23000kms is low milage to change valves and timing chain.Nou voel ek sommer beter
