I've been on the fence for a while but I think I want to sell the pig.

I feel like I ride the MT-10 more, it's comfortable, it's fast and it always starts and runs properly.

The Drz will be fine for a few months then something will play up, mostly the carb.

Then I'll pull it down to check things, it will be in parts for a month as I have better things to do, I'll get it back together and the cycle repeats.

I'd love to take it off road but I have no where to take it within 1.5hr ride, so it relegated to road use.

Any recommendations for DOT legal tires? 90% dirt 10% street 2001 DRZ400E street legal conversion. Stock sizes: front 80/100-21, rear 110/100-18. Don’t want to break the bank as this isn’t my primary ride. I saw Tusk offered a DOT legal front tire for a good price but I couldn’t find any DOT rear tires from them that would fit.

Hey guys, I have an '08 drz400sm with about 60k+ miles on it, stock mikuni BSR36, stock jetting, delta barrel exhaust. Recently fixed my carburettor idling issue + petcock issue.

Now my bike runs great, Idles beautifully. But deceleration has alot of pops and backfires. Abit is ok, but this is way too much, I'm currently at 4 turns out from all in at the fuel mixtures screw. Can it still be a lean mixture? I've capped and addressed all air leaks.

TIA!

For context, the bike has been sitting since October last year. The carb arrived early December. Had lots of issues (wouldn’t go over 120km/hr), seemed really lean. Fast forward to today. I finally pulled the carb as my JD jet kit arrived (after significant delays and no communication from JD Australia).

As soon as I took off the drain bolt the problem literally hit me in the face (I was under the bike looking up). The main jet wasn’t even installed. It was sitting inside the space.

Has this happened to anyone else or am I just really unlucky?

I’ve been looking at the DRZ for a while now, and I found a couple of options that are almost stock. Dual tires, etc. Both from 2002

Is that a good platform to start making it an SM?

I know there are SM options from the dealer, or you can buy one that is used and already SM, unfortunately those are crazy expensive where I live.

But what about those 2002 to start yourself?

Does anyone know of a rack that doesn’t bolt to the seat bolts? I have the tusk rack and it’s such a pain in the ass anytime you need to get the plastics off…

Title.

I have a 2006 drz400sm with 15000 miles on it. Ive had the bike for 1000 miles now and it has always had this issue. When i am coming off throttle, or barely cracking it open there is a very distinct lurch forward or backwards when riding, so much so that when I’m coasting through a turn and get on throttle the backend will slip out a bit and grip back up.. The chain and sprockets appear to be fine, it feels like the clunk is in the mesh of the gears.

Currently i am going to change the oil and see if there is any difference in handling.

Need a new headlight the factory one is complete shit . Any suggestions? Thanks

Have any of you fellas done the restyle kit? Post below! Mine is on the way!
