We Mod our DRZ400sm with Cheap Ebay Parts!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We got a fresh drz at our school, that was just missing a little something. So we came up with a plan to see if we could go faster using only cheap ebay parts. Here's the breakdown of the parts we used and whether we actually went any faster!

    I have those pegs on my 250EXC Sumo - they're great. I'm running a 44 rear and still deciding if it's right for the cart track but I DID get a decent chain (see what I did there). Great video as always.

    Gearing for sure. I have sm tires with 47 tooth and a knobby wheels with a 41 and what a difference. Didn't need a chain tho. Plenty of adjustment. So glad I watched this I'm 6 foot 5 and constantly feel like those pegs are barely holding on to my size 13s. Also the handlebars I'm always leaning over. Great content.

    I put a 438cc jug and piston from Walmart on mine for $130 with all gaskets and sealers. Then 118 eBay FCR 39 mm flat slide and intake manifold from the e model. Holy cow what a difference The carb made.

    Great video. Speaking of mods, would you go down 1 teeth in the front sprocket on a 701 Supermoto used as a daily commuter that also doubles as an occasional track bike (on gokart and medium sized tracks)? The current gearing is perfectly fine for the street, but on the track I'd love to have better acceleration.

    Awesome Videos.. Can u make a tutorial especially, when and how to make the foot out in corner? I feel much comfortable when I put my feet out in corners, in small and in long corner.. I feel very uncomfortable when I DON'T do my foot out, like I will slide away with my tires.. how can I get better trust in my tires or in my lean angle? My tires have enough place.. chicken strips..

    Great idea! I put it on the list. The short answer is only for a second or two and "kick the apex", not literally, but drop foot aproximately at the apex or where you start to get on the gas. As far as lean angle, stop worrying about it. Focus on fast transitions and early gas, it's safer and will get your faster faster!

    Hey Sam, in your situation I think bone stock gearing is perfect. 15/42. Still able to throw up easy 2nd gear wheelies without having to shift all the time. I error on the side of too tall for all street bikes. Now if you're never going over 50 then yeah maybe 15/46, tops around 72?
