3rd is 24/18 if you have a spare set. It's a known mod on the drz400 to machine down a 3rd pair and fit them the other way around 18/24
Thanks Nige but DR is 6 speed and DR is 5.
Ive been anally through part numbers for all 250, DR350 and Goose.
The gears in the 19/23 box dont lend themselves to turn around etc.
1st and 2nd are identical for all, but the 250S spreads the next four ratios, effectively giving a complete gear higher as overdrive (Getting back to port etc)
The standard DR wont pull this extra gear standard, many hop ups would sort but I prefer standard, if poss. Hence picked up a Goose motor which will pull 90ish.
Im not interested in top speed, but should cruise at 70/75 and give a slightly lower 1st and 2nd.
The "project DR" is coming together nicely.
The DR250s is an import only, several worldwide etc.
Ive lined up a complete tidy bike that I can change box for a spare 350 good cluster that I have here.
A bit protracted, but if Im going to do it, then I want it "right".
Does it need doing - No it doesnt.
My motive has developed as a direct result of first hand and friends experiences.
Most of the Adventure bikes "arent".
You can use anything but thats not the point.
I wrote out a list of what I consider necessary as a basis and built up the project build plan from there.
Yes I could buy a 690 or 701 but they simply arent necessary.
SP and I did 10 days on easy going and averaged 22mph!!
So anymore than 35hp is irrelevant.
This is "my" idea and most wont agree.
