Yes. Can be starter carbon. But i changed mine and it still persist. Can also be the red ignition button faulty. Duno if its wiring cos mech says must change the whole thing. So i said forget it. Lol. But as long as ur starter carbon not worn. Ure fine. Cos the ignition thingy wont leave u stranded. It will crank after afew times.

Bro my starter button also went nuts. Don't play play. It almost fried my front end wiring harness cos the button got stuck. That time I used to park without bike cover under rain maybe it for shorted. Or. The arm is filled with crap like such. Need to get it cleaned. http://img.tapatalk.com/cb7525d7-9f0f-3479.jpg

Oh ok. I had a contractor of mine replace the brushes. He didn't want to charge me so no price bro. Haha. Just checking.

If you don't want any ignition, steering cone or wheel bearings problems with your DRZ... my advice to you is... keep your bike covered if you are parking it in the open.

 

And stop sending your bike to those car wash facilities to wash your bikes... if they are using those high pressure water jets to wash your bikes... please standby for bearing failures.

 

Seen enough of these... you have been warned.

Hey guys,

 

Just bought a SM and enjoying the ride.

 

Those with Yoshi Oval Cone F/S, you didnt have much hassle during your annual inspection, do you? Going down next week with all the registered papers. Just little worried cos it's so loud for a street legal one.

Welcome bro if ur using stock mud guard and signal make sure to relocate ur signal.. If not....

Ouch. My right signal clear lens is turning a little dark c.f to the left side. Worry about the signal melting too. Will look for alternative locations. Thanks for the heads up.

 

 

The only big mod I'm looking at now is the front brakes, having come from liter class streetfighters (even modded ones ). Seems like the brembo cast radial with 320 disc is the only plug and play. Really itching for a beringer set but I only heard from retailers (not manufacturer) that they fit the SM. Cost too much to buy and try. Anyone knows of or have used other options?

 

btw, I have braided hose and am planning to change the master cylinder. Am changing to EBC for the time being to try to improve things a little. Never like floating calipers for various reasons.

Hi Raptor. I have recently purchased a new 2012 DRZ and have yet to do anything to it. May I know if Raptor Motorsports does a hard running in, or is it even necessary? If not, how do I run in bike in properly?

 

Also, may I know what modifications you would recommend me to do? I have poured through the FAQ and so far I've settled on the axle sliders to protect the bike and regreasing for the parts that might suffer a bit more wear and tear. I'm planning to get a endcan too, do you have one for sale?

 

Lastly, after I have changed the endcan, I have to (i) remove the PAIR system, (ii) derestrict air flow with 3x3 air box mod, (iii) rejet the carb to adjust A/F ratio? Do I have anything else to do? I wish to change to a K&N air filter too. What I plan to do is to tweak the bike for maximum performance and enjoyability. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Welcome another brother to hooliganism. You'll enjoy the bike definitely!go over to his facebook page for latest info man. He puts his stuff up there...

u can also go for the motomaster rotor kit..320mm kit with the relocator. or the Braking set up..check out motostrano.com or sisneros speed works for options available for the zee..

before u start with the upgrades, check ur brake fluid condition and brake pads, they might need change and u prob might feel the stock is gd enuff after changing them. .cheers..if u go to motovation at paya lebar theyre having a gd deal for their braking set up with free pair of pads thrown it..check them out at the advertisers board..

mods to the zee is somewhat endless depending on how far u will go..for a start u should go for a full system instead of end can,the stock header is the one restricting the bike.. raptor has leo vince system that is worth the money unless u wana go for the yoshi tri cone or tri oval (more costly $1880)..after change the system ure right on with the PAIR removal, 3x3, airfilter plus rejet the bike. the bike comes factory lean so if u dun rejet, the mods u do prob gives u alot of backfiring..

 

well if u wana go further and wheelie ard freely there is always FCR39mx,then go for the hotcams then the big bore and stroker kit..hehe well, i guess that is much further down the road..that way its the most enjoyable bike u will have not to mention so much fun..if ure a heavy dude i suggest throwing some cash into the suspension for better handling else the stock can be tune to ur needs just fine.. be prepared to be poisoned when u go to raptors, too many fun stuffs hanging ard begging u to put them on ur bike..
