Check your front tyre pressure, should be 30-32PSI..

Check both forks for any leakages..

Oh thanks for the feedback.. but if voltage and watts of aftermarket light is the same as normal bulb, will it still cause the problems u stated?

 

Should not be a problem... its the watts that do damage coz when too high it will cause the wires to heat up and melt.

Normally too low tyre pressures will cause this. But if the pressures are OK then it can be that the steering cone bearings are seized... seen that happen on a few DRZs already.

Could you kindly refer me to this place where they're able to do white light? I'm using a K'09 husky headlight, last i checked at a workshop, they weren't able to do the white light for me.

Hi all, Could the anyone here kindly recommend me a list of DRZ storage box? i'm lookin for one that's self detacheable if not required. i'm open to ideas since i know having a box up there could destroy the whole ride's aestatics.

there'll be definately a rack on your bike..

easily detachable wise is up to you whether you wanna spend abt 15-30mins to remove the rack and place it back home when you dun need the box and rack..

 

go for H&B alu or gobi boxes that will look good on DRZ..

How old is your ride? It could be the steering cone bearing as DRZ tend to have this problem as the water get in thru the steer lock and will seize up the cone bearing.

Get it check early for your safety and to prevent damage to the cone if it is the problem.

Hi bro does that mean even if voltage and wattage complies it will still fry the electricals?

i'm not a lover for white lights, as they dun really serve its purpose..

try riding/drive thru a fog with white light..

 

let's say the wattage and voltage is the same, the white light may seems white..

but the throw and the penetration of the light would not be as better than the stock one..

 

headlight is a function, white lights are cosmetics..

they dun go well together..

I agreed to it. As white light could not see quit clear during raining day. The normal light is good for both weather. U can see our street lamp/light. Y goverment dont use white light and they use the normal light (yellow)... for safety concern

[SparkerS1]

ware u brought it......?

autobacs.

white light is useless, it can only see near objects, cannot see far, not LTA approved, might heat up very fast.

Get LTA approved types better, H4 osram nightbreaker recommended, sharper/brighter/further u can see.

 

i still selling my spare H4 nightbreaker!!!!!

selling SME rear axle slider block too, red in colour, interested pls PM me

Fog lamps are yellow in colour for a reason... only yellow light can penetrate the fog. White light will just reflect back as white glare.

Thanks guys for the advice.. By the way is rally rack strong enough or should custom make like some drzs do?

i got seng kwang to fabricate my rack but used to use the rally ones, heard alot comments which are not so nice so quickly let go at a low price but something happen haha..but the seng kwang one is still doin well till this day,ard a year alr my coocase givin way but the rack still solid like hell but it comes wif a price.

 

But if u have no budget, probably u could go for the h&b ones

[shamoz]

hey guys.

 

could anyone recommend sizes for sprockets?im running on stock ones now.

What you want? Higher cruising speed or better acceleration?

 

You got to provide more details when you ask a question like that... nobody can read your mind.

 

Let me guess that you are trying to ask for the sizes of the stock sprockets.... the front is 15T and the rear is 41T.

And you also never say if your bike is an agent or parallel import bike... coz the rear sprocket is not interchangeable.

[shamoz]

is there such thing as a slightly better acceleration but doesnt compromise the top end too much?

Bro so how much u spend for the rack?

[adamant1988]

hmm rally 591 one forgot how much is it..but seng kwang fabricated mine for around 200+.. h&b rack should cost around dere also cos i think its the top case that cost more..

[norishimu]

i got my H&B Alu setup from M-technik.. Rack cost me 270.. Box, cant rmbr exact price but close to 500.. Got it years ago.. U can always send a mail to them for quotations..

Its called a close ratio race gearbox.

 

Got for my Y125Z but not for DRZ.
