[m0t0biker]

Dear all DRZ riders , i have issues on clearing my yearly inspection because i do not have the original tail light assembly , can you guys advice which bike shop can assist? Prefer North , North east or Leng keep area. Please advice me =)

[lkhjason]

Anyone knows where can i get stock drz parts? Like for example tail light and signal lights.

[feriosi]

Look for Angelo at Raptor Motorsports. He got all the original parts to help u pass your inspection.

[lkhjason]

Hmm okay thanks. What about if i have some holes and rough surface area on my rear fender. Is there anyway to get a new one or get it fix and patched up?

[aidiero]

for original parts,u can try the shops at along rowell rd..iirc,there are at least 2 shops selling stock parts...if not,just go guan hoe in front of regina

[lkhjason]

Oh thats some nice info knowing that there are still original parts for drz. If not doing sticker over it will look terrible. Hahas thanks aidiero!

Hi all. Does anyone encounter problem with the DRZ 400SM speedometer? I changed mine to Visor (brand) years ago and it is now giving problem. Even change to a new battery last week, it sometimes reset in time and milleage, sometimes just show blank display. Anybody has any solution? Much appreciated!!

Does the speedo itself have a battery?

Yes, speedo has a battery. It's CR2035 or something. Correction. The speedo brand is Vapor.

Aiya. Lol. No wonder the name sounds funny.

 

Yep. Check the battery cos that does happen

Errr, shouldn't be the battery. Have consecutively changed 3 batteries, yet problem keeps coming back.

 

What speedometer u using? Original?

[aidiero]

vapor speedometer is rubbish,it seems water seep in through the buttons there...

 

solution,throw the speedometer away,buy cheap analog meter from ah boy

[ticks]

Hmmm. Not sure if yours was a lemon. A lot of people using Vapor meter including me.

For me at least, no complaints.. Cos my odometer hit 99999 km. lol.

Mine in the first place when i get my bike it has that issue. I went to raptors it got sorted in a minute. My problem was that it was running on internal batt. Raptor just help me rewire it to live wire instead of ignition. So far no battery low issue. After that i have never experience any blank screen/ auto reset issue. Also no water seepage issue.

you might want to head down to raptors and get them check for you.

Any tips on the DRZ as a daily ride? Used to ride an S4, riding a Spark. Any advice on maintenance, spares, engine overhaul, FC comparisons costs would be helpful because those are the ones that would hurt my pocket the most. Don't want power, just a bike that would not let me down with maintenance.

 

The S4 ver S was bulletproof, literally, it didn't cost much except in tyres and in crashes but I could drag servicing to 6k in between. Could go up to 200km/h which was more than enough and decent street behavior, easy to ride and manuever if not a tad heavy side. FC was around 20-25km/l.

 

The Spark is unbeatable in running costs, ample storage with a box and basket, FC was around 40km/l, servicing every 2-3k, its awesome when it comes to filtering and dead locked jams, easy and light but a little underpowered in many cases, i find myself redlining the bike often even in rush hour traffic and feeling like it lacks grip, maybe due to slim rims and tyres.

 

I believe the DRZ falls somewhere in the middle? Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Guys...

 

wondering if any of u guys send ur bike for inspection recently with KTM headlight, and actually passed?...

[ferrisfen]

Anyone with tricone wanna swap with ovalcone? Pm me thx

[icex]

hi all. anyone using a fs scorpion exos with papers and cant pass inspection?

[zap]

Wah! Long time never log in, so many Zee riders out there. I am riding Zee from 2012. Wonderful bike if keep it stock with no mod. Easily can go 26km/l with good settings done and airfilter. Didnt check my air filter from the day i bought till recently and found it starts to become sticky (OEM). Changed to a KnN and FC and power increased. For maintenance wise, head down to Raptor at Bukit batok, treats your bike like his own and tell u the dos and dont. (I am not a salesman, I only sell standard stuffs and dont cheat customers like others do). Quoted by a famous DRZ racer who owns a shop.

Anyone bought the SML model and what is the approve exhaust? Cause I called lta and the new batch of drzs cannot use yoshi or any jap made exhaust. So I wonder which model of akrapovic or anyeuro made exhaust can I use for my drz to go inspection

[ticks]

Think I saw one fellow rider posted a few page ago that the newest model have some catalytic converter(not sure exactly) in the end pipe for cleaner emissions. Which is sad..

[icex]

apparently only Yoshi fs can pass for z. the rest endcans only. trust me I paid to find this info out....

[lkhjason]

Just a question. Is it okay to ride my bike always with the fuel petcock at reserve all the time? I always monitor my tripmeter so i wont run out of fuel. I just wanna find out is there any other side effects if i do that?

Just called motoworld. Yoshi full system cannot pass also liao. Anyone knows any exhaust that can be fitted (2014 Model) and pass LTA inspection do let us know.

I will go down and buy immediately!!! Thank you!
