Hotcams is the common choice due to pocket constraints. If you want the Yosh ones you'll need to buy the kit consisting of the CDI, valve springs, cams etc. Big money!

Does E & S use the same hotcams???

your tyres finishing soon? will you be trying to norm, GPR70 or other stuff coming in such as continental? errol previously said he's bringing in motard specific wheels from continental maybe about $300++ and a free t-shirt

 

since we're at this, what's a good compound for daily road usage?

 

this might be the continental tyres

 

continental supermoto tyres

 

let's talk about cams... has anyone used the yoshimura billet cams or the white brothers one? seems like only hot cams is used... what's the difference between these 3 and why the choice of hot cams in sg?

Cams

 

The DRZ400S has different cams than the DRZ400E/Kick. The intake cam is the biggest difference.

 

For $150 you can purchase a new DRZ400E intake cam, and for $200 the exhaust cam. These cams will give you more power over the entire power band.

 

Another option is the White Brothers intake cam. It is a regrind of the DRZ400E/Kick cam. It will give you more power through a timing change. The White Brothers intake cam is $400 and they will give you back $125 if you mail in your intake cam, for a final price of $275.

 

Yoshimura makes a set of billet cams and an ignition module for the DRZ. Yoshimura designed the DRZ engine and they have put in the time and research to find out what works the best. This will set you back $700.

sory sky1ine...

 

so..how much dat continental SM tyres cost?in SG dollar..!!

[R.C.]

Last heard was slightly less than $400. Think it comes in a package with tubes, shirt, stickers and of course the tires.

The text that Seng posted from 4strokes are talking abt stock S cams VS stock E/K cams. Nothing abt Hotcams products in the entire paragraph.

it should be.. motard tyres for track use is not exactly like that.. it's either totally slick or it has some kind of funny horizontal wedges on the rear wheels. that's what i saw

hmmm... not exactly off road but maybe sandy tracks, dry sandy tracks... wet will cause you to be as slippery as slimer.

That's the newer batches of CDIs that are obtainable without the complete Yoshimura Eliminator kit. Then again I think the problem has been resolved.

I don't think there was any problems with the older batches.

Well there's always another choice of CDI for us... Vortex CDI

 

The price of it is rather xpensive but can try getting it off the white bike...

[R.C.]

For the 3 of you. You know who you are...

So far the only person i know of that's using those is Yazi from Biketech21. He's got 3 sets of tires outta which 2 wore out pretty badly. He took his dunlops and maxxis out for a couple of track days and they're as bald as a beaver but his continental SMs are still good. We were talking abt tires the other day and he showed me the wear on the others and strongly recommended the continentals.

 

Well, don't take my word for it. Go check it or buy a pair when our dunlops run out.

[StarWarsII]

Can briefly describe how to take out the petrol tank , E model, thanks.

[baloot]

i knew that..!!..i mean sandy tracks..not totally offroad..!!
