Well in my humble opinion, you can't go too small on the front or too big on the back. The DRZ (especially the 'E' model) is a proper wheelie machine set up right.

HOWEVER... obviously there are some good compromise combinations that work better for a mixture of fuel economy, cruising speed and gnarly single track. There is LOADS of advice on this on the DRZ part of Thumpertalk.

I have done it on an S model, it is a while ago now, a tight fit but worked OK.

It may be more practical going for a smaller rear sprocket and dropping a link from the chain?
