[Discussion] DRZ 400 SM

[mardybum]

Hi Bro..just burned a big hole in my wallet today....got the H&B explorer 40l!!here are some pics for your consideration, guys..[ATTACH=CONFIG]246181[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]246185[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]246186[/ATTACH]

 

Oh yea. if put too heavy stuff the bikes handling will be affected..rear end feels heavy so a bit more difficult to ride like a proper sumo..well..the price to pay is more than just the price tag...hehe..

 

hopefully can join in the meetup..my timing is crap...

 

there's just something about the zees and the hepcos...still loving my gobi!

Haha cheers. But one thing I can't understand is the finishing of the product. Yes the outside is nice. But the inside looks like things made in Malaysia- absolute crap..No quality at all. Scratches here and there. Zzzz. Feel a bit ripped of actually. At least I'm the only one looking inside. Others only get to look on the outside.

 

Any bros care to share the interior of their SW motech?

Is the explorer too bulky and wide for the zee as compared to the sw motech trax or are my eyes playing on me?

I think its a bit on the big side..so your eyes are fine man...

[Ahys]

Imo anything above 35L will look wide on a DRZ, end of the day its up to individual preference. Sometimes i wish i have a 45L on my rear

[shamoz]

Any recommendations of boxes?

Hi All,

 

1. Is it necessary to check the tuning/ fuel intake/ air intake regularly? Can we check ourselves or must bring down to raptor/ other bike shops?

 

2. I've been tracking my FC. Leovince end can ONLY. Stuck consistently at 23km/l should be fine right?

 

Thanks in advance

The FC is on the low side I think. Mine with FCR getting 26km/l.

Hmm thanks! any suggestion on what I can do? Or any shops specialized in DRZ I can go to to check my settings and give advice? Because I'm quite new to DRZ and I dunno what's the best for me.

Drz specialist and racer? Go find raptor at Bukit Batok if you're in the western area. If you live in the east, go find him also.

 

Welcome to hooliganism. Heehee

Ya thing is because i ride in sg without silencer. Don't safe to pull. So that's riding with a very disciplined hand. 26 kml is maxed la. No higher.

 

Nope. Haven't jetted by raptor yet. Got it like that...

Hi all, what's 3X3 airbox mod? Can pass inspection? Most drz all do this mod that I'm mentioning??

[Az_itsme]

3x3 mod is cutting out the airbox under ur seat to the measurement of 3inches . this is like a free power mod to increase airflow, but u will need to do a rejet thereafter.. check out vids on utube to get a rough idea wat it is or go to thumpertalk.com

Thanks, which means it's illegal and will not pass inspection?

3X3 is not exactly illegal.. you can pass inspection if you did it........

hi all, may i know where i can change my rear spring? do i need to change the fork spring also if the rear 1 is changed? and of course the damage. i find the rear kinda, i dunno how to describe it.

[Az_itsme]

i did my rear and front by racetech rep in singapore.. i can hook u up with him if ure intrested..damage depends on how far u wana go (change spring, revalve, gold valves, etc etc) my handling is greatly improved after the work done, best money spent on my zee i dare say..u can pm me if want his contacts..from there on u can discuss/get advice with him before deciding whether ure keen.. @qeith just met him the other day too..cheers

i have some handling issues on my drz too.

Recently,seems like my bike is slightly tilted to the right and i have to off balance it to the left slightly when i try to hold a straight line resulting me feeling the handlebar slightly higher on the right side..tyre pressure is at 29-30psi for both wheels.

 

Bike feels strAight again when i stop n pull the handlebar upwards to relieve the front fork pressure before moving off..but whenever after i make a left turn,it becomes slightly tilted again.And i kinda think my right turning feels awkward and unsmooth.

 

Anyone has a clue whats the issue?thanks alot!! Az_itsme could u give me the racetech contact,do they do suspension tuning only?
