[Archive] DRZ SM 2005-2010

[freeland]

hi im new in this thread, need abit help. i tot of upgrading my bike to a drz S version.

 

wats the main diff between 'S' and 'E' version? wats the milage like for the bike? mantiance wise how much roughly would it be? if u all got additional info that i should noe, that will be better. And where can i view these bikes? price range? hehe. sry ah noobie here. thx for reading!

[karmatrix]

E has better cams, better carb(FCR), less restricted exhaust system(still quite restrictive though), better CDI(500rpm more), plastic tank, higher compression due to thiner base gasket, shorter sub-frame, no pillion footpegs(able to custom fix)

 

S feels seriously underpowered compared to an E, but is still enough power for fun riding, there's a S model for sale now at 4k now at the sales garage...also a E model at 9.5k...

 

also lots of DRZ for sale at a secret forum..

if you're using your stock caliper, better stick with ur stock front brake pump, or max you can try 12mm bore size from aprilia 125, if not your lever travel will become too little

 

for braking 4 pot, use 16mm master cylinder from recent litre bikes(eg. gsx1000r)

for motomaster 4 pot, use 14mm from rvf

 

but's that up to preference, some ppl like brakes to come hitting fast, so you might want a 19mm one for 4 pot calipers...

Not the caliper.

 

 

anyway, coz my brake pump seems worn. Contemplating to get a new stock 1. Looking out for available options b4 committing. I dun need a super duper press = stop brake system anyway

my 1st DRZe fell once long time ago coz some inconsiderate bas***d bumped on it at the car park and didn't even bother to lift it up!! it was on the right side also.. other than the broken mirror, i thot nothing much but check out that puddle of oil.. my rear brake actually pierced into the menato-or-whatever-you-call-that.. and the oil leak was everywhere.. and imagine my stuggle to lift up the yellow elephant on greasy ground.. duhz..

[yellowredrz400e]

hahaha.muz mirror also finish.my prob solved by fuli,settle.no more leak.i tink it take 7day to leak n need to put kotex.ewkekwekwe.

you can plate the header with Ti though ok just kidding.. never heard of legal headers. maybe wait for a while more for either micron or yoshi's cyclone to be approved.
