Just rev the hell out of it.

Fwiw I spent a little money on suspension and a couple other upgrades. Ditched the lights, kickstand, etc and had a decent trail/track bike (with elect start)in my DRZ...

Anakee 2s or tourrances are good in between tires

It really depends on the bike.

I never thought I would ride any kind of sport bike... then I rode a friend's Vmax. Sweeeeet!

How many days 'till the rally? 8?

Cool. I'll keep that in mind when the stock TrailWings wear out later this year.

No really good luck and try not to spill brake fluid all over

Hey! There were a few us of posting up pictures a month or so ago working on our bikes.

Mine are a bitch, but it seems like everything on my bike is a bitch.

Glad you got your brakes figure out Rae.
