Sounds like a nice project. Still the stock 35 BHP?

Yes. I haven't felt the need to twiddle with pumper carbs, bored out airboxes or custom exhaust. I had a 2009 model that wasn't working for me on San Diego freeways. I lost my shirt trading it for a 2009 Kawasaki Versys that was perfect for those same freeways. I purchased a used 2015 DR650 with 11,000 miles. Upgraded with a Warp 9 supermoto kit. Blue anodized rims and hubs. About 2 hours of my labor to swap it out. I can now get my feet on the ground (30 in inseam) without hacking the suspension. Good enough for my objectives. I probably won't ride this Summer since I'm on Eliquis for the clot in my left leg and have a Whipple procedure slated for June 25th. I won't be in good shape this year. Too bad. I don't even have the mold lube worn off the new tires yet.
