hi ! This is great but , been there done that my drz 400 run over 100 mph since a while , don t stop your great stuff 👍

I have a 2020 DRZ 400Sm & I also got mine in March! I'm glad I ran across your page, you seem really down to earth. I live in southern IN so your roads look almost identical to mine. Also, I felt your pain riding in sweatpants. I'm a car salesman so i wear my dress clothes all the time and i feel so weird riding a SM with basically a suit on lol. Love the mods you've done so far, a few i have done already and a few i will steal from you and use your install video's. Much love brother keep up the content

Cool ride! Literally! Haha, I experienced that just the other day. T-shirt, sweatpants.. bandana. Brrrr! Haha, I rode into town and mailed some bills, hit the station for gas and the sun comes out, I had to sit there for a while and get warm! 😆. Now, it's long johns and three layers on top, ... and helmet. Mines still completely stock.. other than the removal of the Spark arrestor.. I hit 90 mph and still had 1/4 throttle left... Level freeway stretch. Got 1500 miles on it, bought it in May of this year. Man, you got some Sweet back roads! 💥💨

Hey do you have the file for the white thing that covers. So I can print one for my drz?

My DRZ will indicate 110, so like 105 actual? I have an FCR, full Yoshi dual exhaust, pod air filter, and a 38t rear sprocket. I was completely tucked and it took a while to get to 110. I weigh a little over 200 lbs.

@linksgarage1985

Жыл бұрын

The clutch side is a breeze. The throttle side is an absolute bitch. It’s literally glued / fused to the throttle tube. Trust me. You’re not sliding it off. What I did, is cut it off with a razor. And I had to basically shave it down little by little until the new grip would fit. What I would do knowing what I know now, is just buy another throttle tube (cheap). And replace it and not even spend an hour cutting it off. Good luck. And thank you for watching!

Also I hear something about carburetors or something about these bikes and it's stopping me from buying what's your opinion idk anything about them or if it's a simple quick fix every few years?

Man, I just made a video called can you daily a Supermoto. Check it out. Do not be afraid of a carb. Bikes have had them for over 100 years. And it’s purely mechanical and no electrical, or programming or computer crap to worry about. Do some research, the DRZ is a tried and true classic. Damn near bullet proof. I used to live in Daytona! I’d say new one is $7599 plus tax. That’s just a guess tho. Good luck! And thanks for the sub!
