[Discussion] DRZ 400 SM

[intoxicatemyass]

Reading my post again in the context of your query about the noise from your chain, I realise it could have sounded like I was implying you were negligent. Not my intention at all, bro; I was responding directly to fariz's comment about his friend not even being aware that his chain was loose and dry, and thinking about the horror stories Raptor had previously mentioned.

 

My concern is that there are a good number of riders who are terribly ignorant about machine maintenance, and quite comfortable remaining so until something catastrophic happens and they're stranded on the roads or get hurt. If there's any lesson to be learnt by new members to this community of DRZ riders, it's that importance of knowing how your machine works and how to get it properly maintained.

 

Yea. it's all good bro. I understand. Good to know there's always valuable comments here in this forum.

Alright bro. Peace.

hi senior DRZ riders

 

I thought of getting a DRZ 2nd hand for myself. What are the things I should look out for?

 

I intend to use it to learn stunting and if possible, tracking. What other things can be done to minimize damage after fall?

 

Thanks seniors, I have loads to learn, NEWBIE here.

Now that I sold my drz I can be frank. Lol. Stunting then you're getting ready to drop the bike right. Obviously handguards are crucial, case savers also absolutely necessary. And some spare signal lights too. Hehe. Go to raptors page on fb to check out the common items of failure due to previous owners negligence. Countershaft condition, coil, air filter...

[freshbutt]

Thanks Ticks! By the way people, is it true that Singapore stopped producing DRZ already?

[feriosi]

Singapore has never produce any DRZ before. Lol

Hi Guys,

 

I have a fork bleeder. And it is broken. Screw thread part is stuck in the fork.

Anyone knows how to take out ? or anyone has experienced before?

 

Thanks!!!

[Raptor]

Use a small watchmaker screw driver to jam against the broken part and unscrew the broken piece out. If still duuno.. bring to my shop I do for you.

[intoxicatemyass]

Yes sir. See you on saturday

[Raptor]

New bike I think around 16-17 otr? Guestimate

[snake_sin]

17K excluding insurance at Loois motor. Bought one 2 months ago. Left 3 units. 1 blue 2 black. L3 model. (Meaning made in 2013)

Guan Hoe no stock because all sold to Loois. According to Mr Lee at Loois, DRZ may not be imported into Spore liao due to emission regulation?

[ahboon]

Can try Mah Pte Ltd. Got mine from them a few months back

Maybe lo. The bike has no cats ma. All the exhaust come out straight. Just look at the skyline of Thailand or vietnam then u understand the pollution level d..

The DRZ will soon become a collectors item.

In august I check at Mah selling 15.5k machine price.

Is it recommended to get a E model and convert to SM? Or would I be better off just buying a SM?

[feriosi]

Buying a SM is better than going through the hassle of converting.

Just know what you'll be doing with your bike. Based on my personal experience, I can say that the SM wheel set is great on the roads and fun on small tracks, but absolute **** offroad, even with semi-off-road tires. Only thing is the stock SM version (vs the E) is horrendously underpowered and you'll probably end up splashing another few Ks on upgrades.

 

If you want a solid trail/offroad adventure bike, the E version would be a better choice. If you can find one, that is.
