Anti-seize the shit out of that stator side inspection cover. Plug the fuel line when the tank is off to keep crap out of it. Put a zip-tie on the brake lever over night. A little bit of pressure should allow any trapped air to move up the line overnight (just in-case). Take the linkage apart and grease it (if there is no nipples). Add a bit of grease to the wheel bearings. Pop off the dust covers to add some. More grease keeps water out. (Don't pack them totally full) Torque wrench is your friend. Good video!

Hi, i also have a dRZ400 with 15/44 gearing. I find it ok in the bush with that gearing, but it really doesn't feel comfortable over 100kmph, (which you just have to do to get to most places). This could be because i also have a MT09, which does go over 100kmph without even thinking about it, and i cant help but compare the the feeling of the DRZ to the MT09. I am considering fitting the ACT wide ratio gear set which keeps 1st, 2nd and 3rd as stock, but increases 4th then 5th ratios for the highway traveling. I really want just one bike - i feel guilty when i choose which bike to take to places. I often say that i would like to ride my MT09 to the destination - then magically be on my DRZ when there. My DRZ is comfortable and has the quality extras, and although a little under powered i think i would be happy with it as my only bike - Except for its high speed riding. The wide ratio gear set may fix this. I think it would make a great improvement for adventure rides.

@john tractor. Mate I totally get what your saying. I don’t love the 15-44 when I’m doing the low speed stuff yet have to have it due to the freeway stuff. Always seems to be a comprise that needs to be made. The wide ratio gearing would be spot on. I just haven’t done it to save money and I generally get buy per ride. Definitely a worth while upgrade I think. If you do do it let me know what you think.

Good stuff Lance. Even though I consider myself a good bike mechanic, this video was informative, easy to follow and well thought out. If a person can use tools, they can learn from this what to do. I watched because I'm thinking of getting a DRZ to do a few trips on. Either DRZ DR650. You're a big man, what made you choose the 400 over the 650? I'm 6'2" and a bit over weight (I know, so don't tell me) so I'm kinda leaning towards the 650. I'd be interested to find out an opinion from a bloke who does the riding that I want do. I'm an ex MX and enduro racer but am very much a newbie to adventure riding. Did you consider the DR650? Cheers
@The_Apprentice_Adventurer
3 жыл бұрын
@Mark Hills, thanks for watching bud. Well my story is I use to have BMW F800gs and found I was very limited to adventure riding only, and couldn’t do hardcore stuff without stuffing the bike up. So I put the DR650 into that category due to its similar size. I quite often trailer my bike to location for enduro days and just knew the bigger bike being the 650 wouldn’t survive the years of smashing over rocks and dropping it off hills and so on. Plus the 400 is actually much bigger in height over the 650 as well which suited me. I went for the 400 because it is good at everything but not the best at anything. Just the perfect all round bike that can do it all. Just not as comfortable on long distances and lacks top end speed but will always get higher than speed limits. You’ll become a better rider to because your not fighting the weight. Don’t get me wrong though. There are plenty of times on long trips I wish I was straddling a bigger bike and would have one if I could justify having two bikes. Until then though the DRZ400 is the best option at doing it all at a high level. Haha hope that helps.

@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer Thanks very much for a comprehensive reply Lance. I'm 56 so it's fair to say I've had my share of bikes over the years, and apart from my mini bike days all my bikes have been big bore thumpers. I did have a R1200GS for a couple of years. Great bike but just too big to ride anything "tricky" without at least one other person. The old XR600's were up there as my favourite "ultra" reliable all rounder so it's fair to say I like big bikes. If only the electric start XR650L wasn't so hard to find..... It's a fair bet that I won't be taking on any real hard enduro anymore. I don't need to be testing myself any more than I have already. I don't bounce as well as I used to! Don't get me wrong. I love a good blast through single track but gnarly hill climbs aren't as much fun as they used to be. I still have my old Husaberg FE501 for a blast into the hills anyway, so I don't really need a "do it all" bike. Trouble is the 'Berg is a highly strung race bike so I don't really want to use it for adventure riding. Interesting to find out that the DRZ is taller than the 650. I hadn't thought of that. Still, a taller seat, higher 'bars and lower foot pegs could sort that out. I read a lot of people lower the foot pegs on the 650 to get more room. Both the 650 and the 400 will need stiffer springs for me and to carry the extra weight of camping gear etc. Maybe some re-valving as well as neither bike has a great deal of adjustment as standard. Stiffer springs will need more rebound control. Did you do anything to your suspension other than pre load adjustment? I'm guessing you would of fitted stiffer springs as a minimum. Also, your seat looks different. Did you change the seat? Keep the rubber side down Lance. Cheers

@@markhills3922 mate I’m certainly hearing you. I’d say get a Tenere 700 or the dr650 then. They will be so much more comfortable and carry the extra weigh much better. Still though the 400 will do you well in deserts, sandy tracks and river crossing. Tough decisions for sure to make. 400 service intervals are fantastic as well. Plus tyres are cheaper then bigger bikes. Yeah I put a new rear spring and did the valves front and back. That’s a massive down side of the Suzuki. Stock suspension is geared towards 70 kg rider. $900 or so will fix all that so it’s pretty cheap. When I go on adventure rides I pre load the rear shock to keep my sag around 9.5cm and then wined it out again for enduro riding. I also wined my clickers up to handle the extra weight. Works well for me I must say. Everyone has a different thought on suspension setup. I also have a comfort seat for adventure riding which actually gives my a higher seated position. They come in low or high seated positions. When enduro riding I put the stock one back on. That’s why I like the 400 as well it’s so easy to swap items in and out as you need.

@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer Thanks Lance. I have thought of the T7 but taking on sandy desert tracks with one of those loaded up with gear would be more like hard work than an adventure should be I think. They do have a 21" front wheel which will help in sand and river crossings but they are still a big, heavy bike. This is where my compromise bike comes in. I can't afford to have a bike for EVERY type of ride! The Yamaha would be great on road, on gravel roads and modest 4wd tracks like the high country. They even get along ok on single track but I don't want to be lifting one of those off of me or digging it out of a sand bog or muddy river bottom. Now that I think of it, imagine trying to de-water one of those beasts on your own...... I have ridden with blokes who were on the DRZ E and with a bit of suspension work, they scoot along very nicely. Surprising how well they handle the tough going and fast single track with a half decent rider on them. They also have a solid reputation for reliability and easy maintenance. With a cush drive rear hub they would be even more reliable. I think the DRZ400SM has a cush drive????? Then there's the DR650. It's not brilliant at any one thing either but it is capable enough to get you to where you need to be. Or get you into trouble! Again, with a bit of suspension work the DR650 can handle big hits, jumps, gnarly hills and get along pretty good on single track. It no doubt takes a bit more effort than the DRZ though. The Big DR has a great reputation for reliability as well. Both the DRZ and DR are about the same price (new) so that isn't an issue. They will both cost about the same to set up as an adventure bike. Both need help with the suspension set up. Both need a decent seat and handle bars. I'm thinking the extra horses of the DR will sway me. Time to find a Suzuki dealer to test both I think. maybe the power difference isn't that big and the DRZ will win my money! Thanks for being a thought source Lance. Cheers

@Tristan Roache-Turner on my last real big trip a had the 17l safari, 4l rotopax and a 10l jerry can. That gave me over 600km range but easy riding. My Simpson desert run in May I’ll bring the above and an additional 5l jerry can, so 39l just to cover extra revs and working the bike harder. Aiming to use only 30l of that though. Fair bit of weight but most of the trip the jerry cans are empty so they weigh nothing. To give you an idea for a 5000 trip I’ll only been totally full on two occasions. Water I will carry 2l camel pack on my back and my left pannier carriers 3 to 4 litres easily. With the Simpson I’ll just squeeze in another two litre bottle in my top bag. I just use 600ml bottles and refill them if I can or by new ones either or. Well that’s what I do. It’s not pretty but it gets the job done and it’s a cheap set up. I’m jealous of your trip.

@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer yeah I get that. He was lucky cos he had zero back-up for the trip from Geelong to Perth and back and only suffered a stretched chain and a sheered wheel nut. But then, he was riding a Honda so no chance of a break-down 😉. Anyway, I enjoy your biking vids with the DRZ, it seems pretty much indestructible. Cheers mate 👍🏽
