How does the DRZ do on the AZ highways? I live around Cottonwood and want something that I can get out and explore but need to put down a good amount of miles of interstate to get out there. I am really looking for a lighter do it all bike that I can also bring in a toy hauler without adding too much weight, that is the only thing really holding me back from a DR650 lol.

You've sold me on the Morimoto's. My 2011 Tundra's headlamps got pretty glazed. I've used a kit on them twice to make them clear again, but they honestly look pretty shit. My truck's also lifted like your's and I often get people flashing me because my old OEM reflector housings are dazzling oncoming driver's with the LED's in them. I really need better night time lighting, living in Canada with our long winters and short days. I'd also like to not be a dick and blind oncoming drivers. These Morimoto's seem like a worthwhile investment. Cheers! 🍻

Mine are still so solid! They are a great product and really modernize the front of the truck. I think if I was being smarter I would probably would have had someone clear bra them right after I installed them to keep them super fresh for life. Mine are still mint but would be nice to know they are protected. Cheers!

@SourceADV 2 ай бұрын
Check them once in the first 5-10 hours, if they are going to move they would have done so then. After that every 100 hours is fine but your brain will say otherwise LOL. If it gets hard to start that’s a good indicator to check them.

In ADV riding, everyone is saying 30-40 hours for the 500 on the oil changes. You only need to check the valves on KTM 450/500s once, they don’t move after that. My 350 race bike doesn’t even move either, I only check them when I do top ends on that bike at 120 hours

It’s a noticeable difference for sure. You can get around with one step up in spring rate, but in general it really makes the bike a rally bike, singletrack is not really on the menu any more if there are trees.
