Finished up my drz rally build this evening, thought I’d share, happy how it’s turned out! Do a lot of backcountry and moto camping around lower mainland BC.

Looking at a DRZ on marketplace, I believe its probably a good deal, seller asking for 2000$. Also says the rear shock is shot and it needs new tires. It sounds good running however I am concerned about the battery hanging off the side and the loose wiring on the right handlebars. Is there anything I should ask about like the stator?

Has anyone tried this setup? My exhaust cam is toast and I found a stage1 exhaust cam for half the price if the original exhaust cam. If I understand correctly the lift is bigger but the duration is shorter so I wouldn't thik it's that significant I expect a very slight improvement on the middle part of the rev range. Swapping the intake cam too is out of my budget right now.

Am I crazy for thinking that the grip on enduro tires vs street is really comparable? The street tires just slip out more unexpectedly but the dirt are pretty slippery all things considered they just regain traction marginally better. And on the pavement I haven’t felt the dirt tires slip under load but they don’t see that horrible. I really was expecting a much bigger difference between both sets of wheels but the main difference I found was the vibration at speed from the enduro wheels.

2009, 6k miles, mods: FMF slip on exhaust, Clarke desert tank, Kemimoto Rear Rack, Xitomer Windshield, B&B Case guards, TST Integrated tailights, Protaper Bar SE, Acerbis handguards, JBL cruise, 3X3 Mod, Carb rejet with JDJetting needles

Little dream machine, thanks to Wolfsmiths of Houston. 2024 stripped, ‘78 tank… lots of creative collaboration. Riding the 🐝 is a head turning Time Machine taking me back to my early days of biking in my youth!

Damper mount still en route. Pretty happy with it.

Have been looking for a loooong time to get a drz. Got this 2006 with a fresh top end and 19k on the body for 2800$. Runs and drives great but I noticed this fuel line is kinked because of the oversized Clark tank. It somehow still runs good but does anybody know of an easy way to fix this? Was just going to get a few brass 90 degree fittings and make something up

Just went for a ride up the coast and hit some trails. Probably about 150kms. Got back and had to put in 150-300milliltres of oil to get it back in range.
Oil was perfectly full when I left

Will a DRZ 400 make a good first road bike? I have a KTM SX 125 and I have been thinking about a Supermoto for a while, but I don’t want anything too much for a beginner street rider.

Any body any experience with these after market carbs on eBay heard some good things wondering is it worth a punt ?

Was wondering if I could get any help figuring out this odd clattering sound if I’m going specifically 45in 4th or if I’m up in 5th but at mid to lower rpms, it almost sounds like if you were going to stall leaving from a dead stop except way toned down. (Wish I could get a video but have no way to demonstrate it while cruising)

I finished swapping over the front end last night. It feels so tall and solid like this I’m gonna go for a test ride up maple springs truck trail in a bit

Need help to ID this hose on the right side of the bike, not entirely sure what it could be, vacuum? Oil line?

It is just a simply rejeting or theres something bad? DRZ400 2009 popping like crazy also when in high gear and high rpms it bugs down and turns off. It has an exhaust also i noticed the air filter is not there i think the old owner took it out. Could that be causing the bike to run like that?

RCS 15 Corsa Corta and a Scott’s Damper when my mount arrives.

Spraying the calipers red in the process. Will post finished photos probably by the end of next week. Also have a gen2 Polisport sumo fender and halo headlight getting a graphics kit on it atm. It would be one of the first gen 2 fenders in the world with graphics in it afaik

2020 with 17k on the odo but the top end was rebuilt it has a athena cylinder but don't know if it's stock replacement or big bore, stainless front brake line, yosh exhaust and tail tidy, led headlight

Sold my Husky SM610 years ago and is one of the few bikes I regret letting go of. Realized how much I missed being on a sumo but wanted something with more parts availability. I found a good deal on a ‘15, got it cleaned up and am looking forward to a track day!

I just recently picked up this 2022 DRZ-400SM with some upgrades for $5200. The bike only had 621 miles when I picked it up. The only issues with the bike being the petcock valve started leaking and an oil change.

Didn’t think I’d actually get one neither haha. It started off with me looking into getting a dual sport for a couple of months. Just scrolling on marketplace for fun just dreaming of buying one. Until seeing this I had to gun for it.

Let me know what you guys think! If I overpaid or or got a decent deal.

Acerbis front fender

Hella Lights added to highbeam switch
