Edgy I would suggest handguards and a good bash plate to start with and grind the back of the shift lever down.

Edgy,

I changed the rear sprocket to a 45, This makes it a lot more tar (and long distance) friendly. You'll read about people complaining that the DRZ is not made for distance, I disagree I've done trips up to 400km in one go and I enjoyed every kilometer. Also now with the screen it makes cruising at 100 - 110 kph a lot more comfortable

People said my 125 cant do distance . . . Ive done up to 470km's in a day.
Moral of the story, dont listen to 'people'.

Yip, I totally agree, I have read about your adventures on your 125, its not about the bike, its about the the freedom and the will to go to places you have never been before

There are too many "comfort zone" people on Wilddogs nowadays.........

I opened my airbox today sommer at work, but it feels weaker now. I'm in JHB.

Another thing Sidetrack and myself was discussing. My time clock in the righthand top corner does not keep time. When I start the bike it starts at 01h00. Does it have a small battery like a pc for the clock or what?

Does anyone know?

Get some ductape and cover it up (the 3x3 hole), if it helps you need to go up one size richer. Also I heard it backfiring slightly so you need to adjust the fuel screw. I'm 100% sure there is no extra small battery in the speedo. It gets power from the normal battery. Does the colon flash between the hour and minute ? Thanks to Watty, try and set the clock again.
