supermoto You gotta go to SoCal Supermoto folks...
shutterrev posted a topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
My wife has been riding for a few years now on ADV bikes, no track or supermoto/sport bike experience at all. I have done a lot of track in the past on a 02' GSX-r 750 and KTM 950sm, but like.... 11 years ago was last time on the track. We have wanted to take the Multipastas to one of the Forza track days, figured SoCal SuperMoto would be a good experience for her to have ahead of that... And man it's pretty rad just as it's own thing, but yes also perfect for that. We heard a lot about SoCal SuperMoto through friends, so we decided to check it out, so my wife and I went along with fellow forum member @moto_rph. Just to be clear and up front, it's a hell of a way to spend a day, tons of fun super cool DO EET. Here is a video of me following an instructor around the track. Here is a general random clips video with some sweet tunes. -
After a weekend long test in the desert this weekend I'm curious about my suspension options for the DRZ. I rode it back-to-back with some MX bikes and (aside from the weight) the biggest difference I felt was suspension. The DRZ is soft and springy and the MX bikes all have stiffer suspension which skipped beautifully across the top of sandy whoop sections. My questions: 1. I know a lot of people rebuild the DRZ suspension as a "must-do" mod. I weigh about 180 lbs. with gear. Will a full rebuild be necessary or can I adjust the stock setup to work for me? 2. If a full rebuild is required, how much does that usually cost (front and rear) and is there anyone in the area that you'd recommend? 3. If I did rebuild (and presumably stiffen) the suspension what will I be sacrificing? That nice cushy suspension must be good for some styles of riding, otherwise why would it exist? Thanks!
