No ... I'm sorry! I missed your sig! My mistake.
Sounds like a rough trip! Sadly, often non pro seat mods may not work ... and IMO, sheep skins are useless for LD comfort, even though Aussies and Kiwi's swear by them. Yea, Corbin is expensive ... but I can ride 10 hours on mine.
Stock seat was only good for an hour or so. Crippling!

Cheaper option would be a Seat Concepts Kit. Or find good foam and have your own built by a real seat maker in India.

A WIDE seat is key to comfort, IMO. That and high quality, firm foam that won't break down in a few months in high heat and wet.

Sounds like your DRZ has some serious issues. It shouldn't be using much oil and 60 mph should be a doodle if running well. I'm sure it's an Odd Ball Bike in India and I have NO ADVICE as to where or who you could take it to for sorting. Sorry. But I bet someone here could help!

All the guys I know who've done India have rented or bought bikes there as shipping in their own bike too costly and famous Indian bureaucracy was too much to cope with. (that I DO know!)

I've never ridden in India but visited twice for work. A nightmare.

Sounds like you need to head for the Hills and away from the motorways?
Do be careful, but by now you could probably teach a course in MC survival on
Indian roads. It's nuts there (thank gawd I never drove there!)

To stay on topic, I guess your DRZ is considered a BIG bike there? Seems the pace in some areas is slow enough that 60 mph would be risky?

Any way, good luck getting things fixed up ... and safe travels.
(PS I'm only 5'6". Do OK on DRZ400S ... one butt check hang off to one side to get foot down is the ticket. DRZ is LOW vs. real dirt bike! (like 37" seat)

I had it checked over pretty thoroughly in Kuala Lumpur at Sunny's (who is very good) and the conclusion was there's nothing wrong, it's just that with the heat (it's about 107F here now) and the RPMs I'm pushing it hard, and with 22k miles already on the clock it's not going to be that abnormal to be going through sone oil. Checking thumpertalk they seem to agree so *shrug*

As for the speed, I think at least part of it is I don't like to push the bike so hard that engine noise and vibrations and wobble get too excessive. On a really good road like malaysia has without wind I'll get around 70 (indicated, which is optimistic according to my GPS) - it's just not that fun even on those lovely roads!

There are enough Enfields here that 400cc is considered very normal, but it is true that a lot of India I don't get past 50mph cause of pedestrians/cows/villagers popping sudden U Turns on their scooters without looking that I don't like to chance much faster. Especially when it's a long HOT day and my attention starts to flag. There are some nice stretches, and I did catch a pillion ride with a guy that decided that 70 mph was a good speed for the middle of Calcutta - that I wouldn't recommend!
