Howdy all, First off, Happy Thanksgiving I picked up a '99 for $400 from a loady that runs but has a broken case mounting for the gear between the starter and flywheel: Loady told me that previous owner had it welded but didn't install a torque limiter gear like other years have. Apparently the 99's came with just a regular gear instead of the torque limiter gear and this is a weak spot on this particular year. Is he right? It's not weldable anymore by the looks of it and I'd like to know if the only way to fix it is to split the case and get another left side from Ebay? I new buying it that it might be a "parting out" bike but was curious what fixing it might cost? Thanks for any input.

Is it still possible to get a plate for a '97 KDX220 if it dosen't already have one?

If a second person cancels, Scumbag will be glad to fill the spot.

May I make a suggestion? Howsabout something like: start at gas station/store in Warner Springs, Lost Valley/Puerta Cruz truck trail(explore some side trails) to Anza, up Thomas Mt/Rouse Ridge, down Blackburn Ridge to Bautista cyn and up either of the off-road only single tracks to Hixson flat/Little Cahuila Mtn. Or it could start down somewhere in Ramona and go up Black Canyon Rd/Mesa Grande Rd to Warner Springs.

If you need a safe place for the 530 you can bring it over to my garage.....

Hey Jaysen, Welcome from a fellow DRZ'er. I work for a contractor in the 22 area and ride my DRZ to work everyday from Temecula. Let me know if you want to go for a ride on the trails up here. And speaking of trails, you wouldn't happen to know of any we could ride on base? Baron

BTW, if anyone wants to ride my DRZ while I ride lil Suzy, your more than welcome.

This is in my neighborhood. Will be there with "lil Suzy" to generate some sales interest .....

I'll be there but I'll be riding in and not taking up any space (probably throw my tent down in one of those Yellow spaces). I'll bring $$ for the food!

Scott, aka Happytrails, is hosting a Big Bear ride/camp over on AdvRider for the weekend of May 14-16th. I'll be trucking the DR385 up and have room for another bike if anyone is interested. I'll be leaving the Temecula area around 2:30 Friday afternoon. The link for the ride is: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread....;highlight=bear

Howdy, I'm selling my DR650 this Saturday and thinking of picking up a 01 Yamaha WR250R (Plated). I am going to try the more dirt approach to dual sporting and want to know more about the Yamie. Any thoughts/opinions/bias? TIA. Baron

I'm going to meet you all at 9:30 down at the gas station on the 905. What station will I be looking for? I am coming from Temecula and will be riding a DR650. See you there.

"forgot his name": Badassbobthecattlerustler, sheesh, how could you forget a name like that!?!

Well, well, well. I see Nissan has finally gotten around to admiting there is a problem with their fuel sending units: Nissan recalls nearly 540,000 vehicles worldwide - Yahoo! News Must be scared of the negative publicity that Toyota is getting and finally listening to their customer complaints. Of coarse, this is after I already replaced mine myself after trying to get it done under warranty. I worked my way from the local dealership all the way to the President of Nissan USA Carlos Ghosn to have this replaced under warranty since so many people were having the same problem (sound familiar Kawasaki/Dohicky). After telling me politely to go f*ck myself I wrote to the BBB and state attorney general. They both told me it had to be "life threatening" in order for them to do an investigation. So I bought the part myself, changed it out and saved $400. And then the Toyota negative pr happens and Nissan starts listening to its complaints. I think when I get the recall I will take it in anyway so they can replace it a 2nd time . BTW, if you ever heard of that retail phrase: a customer with a good experience will tell one other person, a customer with a bad experience will tell ten other people; I'm the customer that intends to tell 100 other people
