If you're going to fly, wheelie ,stoppie, mud bog, hill climb or travel though the forest, you can expect a few scratches along the way.
A little Amorall (or equivalent) hides scratches fairly well.
The only plastic I've ever replaced on an off road bike was in bits. LOL





Reminds me of my first cross countrytrip on the SV.
Left home, first service done, with 600 miles on the clock.
Some 475 miles later when we arrived at the first nights stop I discovered the tailbag's straps had left some very small skuff marks on the paint.
Later that night we were outside and I commented again about the skuff marks maybe getting them fixed.
It was then one of the group asked me a question I'll always remember.
"So, Did you buy that to be a show bike?"

Instead if creating a new thread I'll ask here.
Is the drz fine to go through very deep puddles, a few feet deep? I went through one last night, awesome water went straight over my head for 20 meters, bike plodded straight through, didn't cut out and started fine all night
Thanks
Josh

Up to the top of the motor should be fine. specialone or Owenski will know how deep they can take them

Oh dear me! This is a U-rated forum don't you know!?!

Ooh err

Ive had mine probably just up to top of front wheel in water, you need to keep moving though, my problem is i tend to go too fast through water and create a 15 feet bow wave lol
