Awesome. If the carb doesn't make that much of a difference, all I need is the BB kit and I'll be golden...

Wicked. I was considering that for my next project, since I am itching for a motard and I am really not sure about the DR-Z400 SM.

I'm halfway considering a DR650, motard wheels and front brake, but this little pocket rocket sounds interesting...and my local dealer has a nice deal on a SF.

So good to hear. I love my 250SF right now, but when I get the 351SF... Hoorah! It will be fun.

I actually got the front wheel off the orund yesterday... was checking my mail, reved it up some and then dumped the clutch and the front wheel came up about a foot or so! haha... i didnt have to rev too much do to the smaller rear wheel and better traction of the SF.

351 soon to come....

I can wheelie my bike without using the clutch on 2nd gear with the 351! And I'm using a 15t sprocket! I have almost 600 miles on it in less than 3 weeks. I hate using the clutch to pop it up. I want my clutch to last long!

jpaul... what sprocket are you using for yours? I am looking for a 15t that will fit. Do you have the part number and place you ordered it from?

I think I am going to build one of these.

I love my KLX S, but in reality I spend 99% of my time riding on the road or dirt roads.

Sat on a SF today and loved the stance of it. I think this bike is just more practical for the type of riding I do. (Commuting, canyon and service road exploring.)

The trick is, I want more power- the KLX S lacked some oomph to get out of turns and when climbing long steep hills at altitude (Northen Colorado). So I pretty much decided on a DR-Z400 SM, but a local dealer has a SF going for a great price. I could get the SF, Bill Blue 351 kit and FMF P-bomb header for less than the DRZ. Plus, the dealer has a bike dyno!

Hopefully the built SF would be a superior bike. I certainly like the styling more.

Bonus if I can mount my 2007 FMF Q4 to the 2009 SF- I believe it would fit even though the 2009 has a different part number. The 2009 muffler might be a little different to avoid melting the turn signal, but I will be putting on an Edge tail light and blinkers anyway.

I rode that bike too. It was quite a lot of fun. As a matter of fact, I bought the first MSF bike they offered for sale. I've been accumulating the parts to do my conversion since Bill wasn't ready to sell the bike outright yet.

Oh and I live in Burlington.
