Fuel economy/range is important to me at times, so I left the bike stock. That 4.9 doesn't last long if you're at speed, sucking fuel. Maybe with an 8.9 gal Aqualine....
I wouldn't want to loose the odo. It's very useful when trying to follow maps in furrin countries....no signs, etc.
I like the BBQ rear rack, now renamed 'Diamondback' rack.
The chain rollers should be upgraded, from what I've read. Still need to do mine.
I added an inline fuel filter. They're cheap, available at all major auto pats stores....made for lawn mowers. By using stiffer automotive fuel line, the filter is well supported and doesn't require clamps. The 1/4" line can be pushed over 5/16" inlets/outlets. You know as well as anyone here what can come out of barrel gas. Clean carbs save trips...
My DR isn't a dirt bike, but a light(er) touring bike...that can get me into trouble if I choose that path.
Also, Suzuki offers their extended warranty for up to 4 or 5 years....with no limits on mileage. It's available to the original and 2nd owners, if purchased before the factory warranty expires. I will be a customer of this extended warranty as I plan to exceed 50k miles in the 1st year. Also valuable when selling the bike.
