Well Today is my 1 year mark for the DRZ and me... OD says 15563 an average of 1296.916666666667 miles per month... not bad... considering the bike sat from 24 Dec to 15 Feb in Omaha...
think I'm actually closer to 1500 a month on actual mileage but don't know for sure... |

I am kinda expecting my Stator to go out shortly... seems they don't last much past 15k... so I think I'm running on borrowed time. |

but mine hasn't given me any issues thus far... I re wired from the rectifier to the battery with larger gauge wire (12g rather than 8g) and threw in an HID headlight(35w vs 55/65w) also swapped in a LED tail light (3w vs 10w). and even when running my heated grip wraps on the way up to Omaha (22w) no issues... oh had my GPS hardwired running the whole time... I wish I had a gauge or something to tell me how many watts I'm using at any given moment. I think the stock Stator is like 180 or 200... but the bike itself(lights included) uses all but like 20w... |

The local forum gets a really good dirt guy to put on a dirt clinic every year and this year they are doing a dual sport clinic. I signed up for it.
WR250X, motard, getting dirt wheels for it.
