Just out of curiosity.

I'm shooting for the highest miles on the forum...right now...I'm at  2,751!!

Who's got me beat?

[jz416 TT Bronze Member]

this question needs to be clarified.
Most miles on engine or OD?-
My od says 21,344- just about 1500 miles on engine with new top end. '07 sm

A recent posts tells of a DRZ with 81k

The guy mentioned in this thread has to be right up close to the top.

yeah the 81k is prolly the winner, but is he on THIS forum?

And I say mileage on the frame, you did the work to keep it going right?!  It's still alive...it gets the points.

26K....I can beat that...eventually

Since you are in Canada, I will assume that the 55,000 is in Kilometers...

55000 km = 34175.4 mi.

I just hit 50,000 miles this week...   2006 SM

I know people have more than me but,

[Eddie Sisneros]

i have dealt with 60,000+ mile drz's.

[LittleRedToyota TT Bronze Member]

13k on my '09 s.

just getting warmed up.

Bought my DRZ at 16k miles, did a big bore and put new valves in at 18k. I've put in about 1500 miles since then.

Love my DRZ, love the big bore. Change the oil with Rotella T every 1000 miles with a new filter. I have no doubt that she'll last until 40,000+ miles.

My 2000 DRZ-E has had 99.9 miles a bunch of times  . . .

(that is as high as the odo goes)

My first S, bought late July 05, was an 04with 2,000 miles, I put an additional 22,000 on it miles when the big end got sloppy enough to cause stator problems, switched engines with an E, hit a deer in Nov 08 at 30,000 miles, bent the frame and just about everything else, insurance took it.

Oh MY.  I'm feeling better about my purchase already!!  I'm starting jet tuning this weekend...then the thread lock, MCCT and Free-Power mods and with regular oil changes....I'll be heading to 90k.

Looks Like RadTech is the one I'm gunning for so far.

[Mullet Bullet TT Bronze Member]

just shy of 15K on my 2001 S

[jamesoy900 TT Bronze Member]

I bet i have the least on an '07...sad to say i have a little less than 5K...i change the oil every couple hundred miles cause it sits so much,as when i do ride it i want it fresh.I need to get out and ride lol

No, I did the conversion It's in miles

[707drz A Legend in his own mind]

over the years i have seen many members with well over 30k miles on there bike...few have been ridden as hard as Debi's before she went orange on us. i would imagine hers ( if in operation) is pushing over 40K


im right around 21k

[sbootsma TT Member]

dang.... im only at 7k on my '03 lol

[Zabrow187 TT Member]

10220 miles on my '05 DRZ.  I am only responsible for 2220 of that though. Pretty good for 2 months though.

[Kx250FRiDeR651 Get Help Now]

Kinda the opposite but similar topic, but I wonder how many ppl have ridden alot with the speedo stuff disconnected to make there bike appear to have less miles to look good for when they sell it, or warranty purposes.

When I was browsing Craigslist for a DRZ there sure was tons of beat looking ones that had barley any miles.

I want an aftermarket set of dirt wheels for my SM, they have said the ODO will not read.
