Heya all... I have a friends 02 375 auto for the weekend. This machine has extreme body roll! But i didnt feel unsafe on it really, but doesnt feel as stable as my 500. After riding the 500 for a while i felt the 375 was under powered, but a real nice machine. A lot easier to ride than the old 500 tho, 2x4 option is real nice... But curious question is, since it is oil cooled is that antifreeze in the rad? or oil? Cant really find info on how this system works.

They circulate motor oil through the oil cooler to dissipate heat. Not as good as a radiator with antifreeze but much better than the older models that had no external cooler.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

The body roll is due to the Duncrap tires and the super soft shocks. By switching to a 6-ply tire the body roll will be decreased greatly. Now if we could only get the 03 shocks which have been on back order for a month[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] the there would be no body roll.

 

I have to agree on the body roll on the 375. The shocks are unbelievably soft. Actually, we have an Eiger at work, which seems to be ok in that respect. One thing I have noticed is that the rad on the AC is at least twice as large as our Suzuki's.

 

What tires do you recomend?

 

The egor has less body roll because it does NOT have a semi-independent rear sus it has the SOLID rear axle for more sport driving.

 

Any 6-ply tire, so far the DDs have preformed better than I excepted. There's a ton of good tires so basically it's choosing a size and tread style you like.
