[biting_point]

hmmm.. sounds right.. i wonder what to expect when i switch to 16/43..

[Sakai X]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! Got myself a damn DRZ!!! Three years of torturing my heart mind and soul for this!!!!

First and foremost wanna thank all those who have posts in this thread especially the senior ones like biting point,et,sparkers1,konspire,blackbeauty69,noshimura,raptors etc etc...been trying to read evry thing on this thread for the past two months but cannot make it lah...started with thread 60+...was contemplating to get a 2nd hand Vtech2 or DRZ(though heart is at DRZ) but you guyz totally ROCK!!!! u all like never selfish to share information(i know some other threads also lie that but WHO CARES!),some even give sites for info,info on good offers,tips and tricks to pimp up the bike performance and cosmetics wise...easy to say u all ah like live in one kampong like dat...i dont know a lot bout Zees but from the info/help i got from you guys at least i know basically bout mortards..

To tell you all the truth,i WAS a skeptic at first..i was like "NGIAAAA BOOOO?! SYIOK TO RIDE!" but after the first numbness and cramp feeling i got at my pelvic and butt,i was like "DAMMMMNNNN!!!!! WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING!" Even the vibrations on my butt feels like sitting on an OSIM chair now! The sound of my thumping/roaring/growling engine is simply music in my ears...and the vibrations i fell in my palm when gng at 110km/h+ simply dont-know-what-to-say kind of feeling but I LIIIIIIKE!!! weird but true...

Hats off,clothes off,pants off and everything else off to you guys/gals who made me realize that there is a bike for me out there....now 29 but i really hope i can ride this as long as my body can take it.....

Sorry bout this long thread but just needed to express my appreciation and delight in knowing u guys/gals(cyberly) and also owning my DRZ at last...no fren lah with DRZ...last time ride RXZ and VTECH3 only...

SOoRRY!!!!!! again for this long thread guyz.....

[SparkerS1]

Bros,my bike when slow down ah (say 50km/h below),the handling at the front like heavy lah....

 

is ur fork too soft? i dun feel anything when i ride, maybe i too used to my bike already

[SparkerS1]

What is neccessary to be done or fixed on a stock DRZ400SM:

 

MCCT- Manual Cam Chain Tensioner where u can manually adjust the cam chain instead of the OEM ACCT (Automatic cam chain tensioner)

Factory automatic adjusters can back out when the throttle is suddenly closed at higher rpms.

This allows the cams to momentarily go out of time and can result in bent valves and/or serious engine damage!

Hydraulic tensioners have a tendency to put too much tension on the chain guide under high rpm/high oil pressure conditions, resulting in premature cam chain wear.

Installation of a Manual Cam Chain Tensioner will allow you to maintain the proper, constant cam chain tension necessary for reliable hi-performance riding and it will not backout.

 

PAIR System- If u have a aftermarket exhaust fixed, best to remove the PAIR system, or else will cause popping and unsteady deceleration, removing it won't give more power, may give a little better response and will give better smoothness.

 

Stainless Steel Brake Hose- Enhance braking feel.

Rubber hoses or mild steel fittings are cheap but we all know how rubber hose bulges under pressure, allows brake fluid to absorb water vapour from the atmosphere and that mild steel fittings rust.

 

BRAKING Disc- More friction coefficient, Better resistance to the heat, More initial braking power, More feeling on the lever, Better handling, Less weight, Thicker than stock disc.

 

UNABIKER Radiator Guard- Provide awesome side impact protection and help prevent radiator fold-back during a crash.

 

Axle Sliders- Protects front fork and rear swing-arm.

 

SME Rear Axle Slider Block- Additional protection with concurrence with the axle sliders, protects swing-arm, rear disc, sprocket.

 

ThumperTalk Skid Plate- Extra protection specially if for off-road purposes.

 

3X3 Air Box Mod- De-restrict the air flow and better performance with an aftermarket Air Filter. Remember to re-jet the stock carburetor to match the A/F ratio.

 

CFC Case Shields- Extra protection for Ignition and clutch covers.

The stock magnesium DRZ engine cases are both thin and brittle.

As a result, they are very vulnerable to damage (cracks & impact punctures) from the bike's shift/brake lever and rocks when the bike falls.

 

Handguards- Prevent clutch and brake levers from breakage/bent during a drop or crash.

 

Exhaust Slider- APA Muffler Slider is made from a specially formulated thick, tough, plastic material that resists wear and helps protect your muffler in the event of a crash, much like a frame slider does.

The slider clamps on securely and the material has built in lubrication molecules that let them slide and not grip the pavement like a soft piece of rubber would.

Road Racers are enjoying the benefits of Muffler Slider protection when they fall off. It can not easily slide off.

 

 

Remove the kickstand safety switch. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If the kickstand is down the bike will not start.

On jumps and bumps the kickstand will bounce around momentarily killing your engine.

Thus I remove kickstand sensor.

 

Remove the clutch safety switch. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If the clutch isn't pulled in, it will not start.

This just one more electronic switch to break from nowhere, so I remove this safety device.

[biting_point]

drz is one of the lightest bike i had, less 125z..

 

front steering heavy when low speed? i had the same sentiments with Sparker..

 

my front is so light that the new tyre hair is still around after a few rides..

 

konspire: saw your bike at Unique last week, but you not around..

 

to Unique goers, i'll be there this coming Sat.. most likely at abt 12pm..

[Sakai X]
