[Archive] DRZ SM 2005-2010

[Guest rookie517]

Saw the new DRZ SM along jln kayu today when I was makaning with fellow rider

 

Shop quoted 12.8k w/o insurance, for me, insurance “2nd party” about $300+

Sound like a good deal!!

 

But I got another good deal from huphin, can’t disclose the figure

Hehee

 

 

The bike looks really cool

:cheeky:

[chewbakka]

Anybody knows if the new drz is suitable for normal road riding like XR??? Kindda interested even if the engine is half as reliable as the Hondas.

[psychocandy]

wonder anyone bought the first one in SINGAPORE leh? its all over singapore's bike shop!!

[LollyPoP]

how's e F.C compare to XR?

[hardrider]

Just took a peek at the DRZ SM earlier today. Very nice. Has lotsa nice goodies. Oversized rotors front and rear, 4.5 rear rim, inverted fork, rear shock adjustment, MX style swingarm... Jealous man....

 

I think the DRZ is a very reliable bike. I have absolutely no complaints with mine.

I assume FC = fuel consumption? I get about 23-24km/litre on my bike

[LollyPoP]

23-24 km/hr.

so is it consider gd?

 

do SM pass inspect?

[kiss29]

Wondering anyone bought it already.

I want to know what will be shown in the Log Card.

Will it be Suzuki Scrambler or Suzuki Motard(or SuperMotor, etc)

 

If its just Suzuki Scrambler....then when it comes to the yearly inspections....many of those who has modified to Motard can 'smoke-out' the vicom inspector that the motard wheels are original factory approved items.

[hardrider]

I am very satisfied with my bike's fuel consumption which I believe is on the low side.

 

As for inspection, I have cleared it with my converted motard wheels without any problem. Guess I was lucky!

[Guest rookie517]

the zook is a very reliable bike

 

and it will pass inspection as it is motard from production line.

me i only get 18km/litre haiz....

problems with DRZ... hmmm getting the front wheel down is a problem, be careful hehehe i think rookie knows about this problem.

 

other than that i dun think so except i have to bring extra battery fuse when trailing cos if i drop the bike and it revs by itself.... the fuse might give way.

Just pop in a new fuse and i'm on my way again

Reliability... has a friend that converted the bike to motard setup and he rode it to hatyai thailand and back, cruising at 120KPH no problems.

heard frm huphin tt black ones will not be cuming.....kinda sad thou... :cry:

[sia_betoh]

checked wif mah pte ltd yesterday.. they just brought in the new drz400sm yellow colour on 8 april. machine price 12k plus w/o insurance & misc fees.

[nickspeedsg]

Wah lau, can freight in the black plastics man, or get the one piece Yoshi fairing.

 

The yellow DRZ400SM is still using the BSR36 Carb. The bike passes strict emmision control standards. Those that want more power for track/race use might want to put a slip on pipe, from Yoshi or ProCircuit. Also slot in a Keihin FCR39/40 carb or the Mikuni TMR-MJN40.

 

I think the one in the shops might be the Californian state model. Gotta check with the agent to see which one they're bringing in.

 

I just dig that front inverted fork.

 

Hey if anyone gets the bike, please post some review on it here. I want to know how well it takes the jumps.

[StingRhea]

can someone please post some pics? alan's been swooning me to get a motard for 2A~ =P

[hardrider]

From American Suzuki website.

 

I believe most DRZ owners are very happy with their bikes and love them to bits!

[josefcaballero]

i know u guys had seen this but i just feel like digging it up and posting it here cos i never get tired of watching this clip over and over again.

Since the motard Suzi is coming, here's a tribute to what it is capable of doing in good hands. Cheers
