I got a 39T and 44T JT sprocket from lytleracing/fleabay dealer (came to 62 bucks for both shipped). I tried the 44T ... w00t, awesome @ the riders up Tunitas and Kings Mountain.
I havent put on the 39T yet so dunno if i will have slack issues with the chain.
kerosene to clean chain and PJ1 to lube
Ohh - i got a vapor comp, zeta levers, supermoto fender ... and back & forth deciding to get the 18/21 wheel setup :dunno
Mike - u sliently organizing these mud rides? I am just cruising alone anything up recently?

This was a HUGE issue years ago. Husky paid a big fine too.. Any pre-'06 bikes had their plates pulled in CA.
That is why i'm surprised you still have yours. Did you buy it used, or did you have it from new?
Several barfers had their plates pulled as well.

In that case, i'd do what I can to keep under their radar... Only a matter of time it seems.:ride
I am due for the 600 mile service, but already did an oil change with silkolene, filter, o-rings, etc. at 300 miles. Plan to handle further maintenance DIY unless it is major.
Any reason I need to take it in to the dealer for the frame bolt tightening and what not? Or can I do that myself.

OK coo - guess the bolt tightening stuff is in the service manual?
Hey do guys do know any good mechanics or shops that i can take my DRZ 400 sm to my get the top end rebuilt and have the valves check. i really dont want to send it out because i dont want to spend the money on shipping and i readly dont want to take it to cycle gear b/c the suck.

check thumpertalk.com on how to ship it to Eddie ("Burned"). There is a how-to which describes how to ship easily. Eddie is very popular amongst the DRZ crowd all over the country and well know for his work. You will not be displeased.
Else, buy the big bore kit, and hot cams and get our local favourite Shawn ("elskipador") to do the job for you. His rates are decent and work is top-notch.

We've got 2 DRZ's in at the moment, both for top ends. Are you having any running issues or is it just maintenance you need?
