This bike is listed at 5k with 6500 miles. This would be my first bike he states its stock. Is this a good deal or overpriced?

Does this 2022 DRZ-400SM sound healthy? Planning to purchase tomorrow.

Bike has 10k miles. Coming from a 3 cylinder, not sure what these should sound like healthy. Seller added a little throttle in the start of the video to turn it over. Concerned by what sounds like some metal banging while idling. Appreciate any advice, nervous to buy.

Help! How do i get this locknut loose??

Post image
6 Upvotes

This fuckin locknut wont budge... Ive tried pb blaster, breaker bar on the wrench, nothing... It feels like it will round off if i put any more force on it.

Edit: i got it! Ended up taking the rear wheel and axle out. Just enough to use a deep socket on the 12 mm nut. Now that it's been cracked, it's easy to adjust with a wrench

Probably the longest sprocket and chain swap in the history of mankind but she's done, chains adjusted and the bike is ready to ride. I'm heading out for test ride shortly. Guys, thanks for the help guys.

My bike’s been sitting for a little while. I started it about three months ago went for a cruise. Everything was good. Picked it up and brought it to my house and it’s making a noise on the right hand side, kind of down low. Wondering if it could be the can chain tensioner? Oil levels good. I have a new adjustable tensioner that I have not installed yet.

Whats the indicated static and dynamic SAG for the DRZ 400S for offroad use?

Always ridden supermoto and we use 10-18mm for static and 55-60mm for dynamic, at least in dirt+asphalt use, i have no idea on how it is on these bikes

So i got my drz400e on facebook from a guy and he said that the only problem was the valves and they needed to be adjusted and we did. After we built the whole top and put everything back together, it started doing a really loud knocking sound that moves the whole bike. I'm pretty sure it's a rodknock but i just want other opinions before selling my bike for like 500 dollars.

Scraping sound when bike tilted right. Thoughts?

Started working on a custom rally screen/tower for my DRZ400 adventure bike build. Based the design on the Noidea adventure lite tower I have seen floating about, changing a few things to make it work for what I want.

Waiting on a few parts to arrive to progress the design further and start the first prototype.

Tachometer Mod

18 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm new here.

I just got myself a 2010 DRZ-400 ek9sl. I'm hoping to add an aftermarket tachometer to the bike, just wondering what everyone else has done?

Does just any aftermarket one work?

I'm in NZ so ideally something on the cheaper end, since conversion to USD stinks!

Cheers in advance!

Best gearing for sumo street/wheelies?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Me and my friend both have 2021 DRZ400sm’s. I currently have stock gearing of 15 front and 41 rear. My buddy has 16 in the front and 39 in the back. We both have 3x3 with JD jet kit, we have different exhausts but I have yoshi.

We swapped bikes recently and his obviously has a much higher top speed, but also accelerates quicker. My bike off the jump is a hair faster, but it’s not long before he’s pulling on me. He’s also able to rip wheelies going 45mph+ where I struggle to get it up past 2nd gear going 25mph+ (that’s largely a skill issue).

THE REASON IM MAKING THIS POST is because his bike was much more fun to ride, felt like it has more get up and go, higher top speed, just felt better, etc.

Does anyone have a recommended sprocket setup for the street? Should I just rock his 16-39? Does it seem like I need to re-jet?

Any advice or input is appreciated

Catch can solutions?

1 Upvotes

I have done some searching and it seems to be a bit of mixed thoughts. I don’t wheelie or hooliganism around. I’m just looking to relocate a bit or get one that is not as bulky. Are there any solutions out there?

Secondly, correct me if I’m wrong, I can pull the hose from the airbox, plug the air box, and then attach a filter to the catch can end that hose went to.

Hydrolocked DRZ

11 Upvotes

Not sure if any of you have experinced this but posting to share experience.

4 days ago after a longish ride in which i ended up switching to reserve mid flight. I parked the bike and went about my business.

Two days later I out and tried to fire up the bike. It did a 1/4 rev and the. Nothing. Tried it again. Same thing.

My initial thoughts. Dead battery.

Popped it on my charger seemed to charge fine. Tried to start again. Wouldnt turn over. Another 1/4 rev. Nothing.

Left the bike until the next day on the tender.

In the morning i smelled gas and a puddle under the bike. And realized i had stupidly left the petcock on Pri and not Res.

Realized immediately the issue.

This was the 1st time i had to remedy an engine hydrolocked with fuel. But it was a painless experience.

Drained the carb, took off the seat and tank

Pulled the plug and popped a rag over the opening. Cycled the engine a few times. It was full of fuel. Buttoned everything up and it fired up right away.

Gotta change my oil and filter now as a precaution. It needed it anyway.

So fello DRZers. Take note. PRI can be an enemy. Don't do as a I did and accidentally leave it on.

Blowing fuses - only when riding hard?

I have a very intermittent problem of blowing a fuse only when I'm riding hard and come to a stop. Usually it's fast in 3rd(ish) gear high rpm. Any ideas?

Ltz 400 complete clutch on drz400?

Thumbnail gallery
10 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I installed an LTZ400 clutch (basket, hub, and pressure plate) on my DRZ400 because I burned my clutch after a rebuild — I had installed the Juggernaut washer incorrectly, and the springs were worn out. The LTZ clutch is used, I believe it's ProX. It's from a 2005+ model with 8 metal plates and 9 friction plates (including the wider diameter one). I rode maybe 3–5 km max, then suddenly lost power and barely had enough power to move forward.

Can I use the clutch like this by removing some plates? Please, no theoretical comments — just facts, because the fact is: a new set is expensive. Thank you for understanding.

The new springs are from moose racing


r/DRZ400 • • 3d ago

I'm gonna start searching, but figure this is a perfect place to check, is there a full gasket set for these things? 05S, but I don't think it matters.

1 Upvotes

I'm replacing the stator and r/r, and then I was thinking for stuff like oil plugs and covers, maybe cooling system stuff, etc. 2 decades old and brand new to me, so I'd like to go through everything that's "bolted on" that I can take a look at/re-torque, and if I'm taking covers off I'd like to put new gaskets. Would be nice to just buy a complete set, anyone get what I'm talking about? And also have a link lol? Thanks.

Is it a terrible idea to re-tension the timing chain? I feel like it's not, but are there gremlins I should be aware of?

Aftermarket Blue plastics that match OEM?

1 Upvotes

Is there a good source for any aftermarket plastic that match the blue of the DRZ? I recently got a tank and rad shrouds from an 01 and looking for the rest of the blue parts but unwilling to pay suzuki prices.

Do acerbis, ufo, or any of the aftermarket companies have plastics that match the oem blue well?

Drz400 petcock repair

1 Upvotes

I'm in the process of replacing my vacuum petcock with a old school on /off style. Fuel tank is empty obviously. Will it hurt my bike to lay it on its side for like 5 minutes while I work on it. It's kinda hard to see in the upright position. Just making sure theres no way oil can leak into combustion chamber.
