Most important above all else. Check the front drive sprocket shaft. If that is shearing off... It will be an expensive job.

If u are buying from a private seller, u can ask Raptor to help u take a look. He's a helpful uncle that gives good advises.

Hey sorry for the late reply, been busy with school. I've been googling about it, 02-08 models kinda affected by it. got to do with red locktite and countershaft spacer right?. i think i need to research more about it..thanks for the tip!.

yeah met him before, he's a great guy. will definitely go to his shop for fix after getting my drz!.

 

anyone interested in selling his/ her drz can also pm me. thanks!.

Buying from a private seller is definitely cheaper than from shops. I didn't buy a new unit since i might not ride it for long. I got a decent deal from a private seller and bring it to Raptor Motorsports to get it back in good shape, then maintain it from there. A well maintain DRZ can lasts u a long long time. Changing engine oil on a monthly basis is highly recommended.

Hi Guys...I'm not sure if any of u have faced this situation before..

 

While riding at a constant speed..decided to open throttle to pick up speed...suddenly bike just dies off..although engine braking can still be heard...after a slight distance of free wheeling, suddenly bike automatically restarts and backfires loudly....fuel tank is full btw...

 

Another occasion, same thing...while riding, bike dies off as soon as i open throttle...this time stopped at the side of the road and restart..again loud backfiring...understandably coz of excess fuel not combusted...

 

Just wanna check if anyone every experience this kind of scenario...and how to rectify it...

 

Could it also be due to coil needs changing or any other issues?..

 

Thanks alot!

Hmm. My bet will be sth to do with the carb. Must be quite scary suddenly dying off in the middle of the road...

Thanks bro...if confirm carb problem then i will have it serviced and rejetted again. Lucky for me it dies off as soon as i open throttle while i was in the left most lane..if expressway..

 

i just hope this problem doesn't keep reoccurring...if so..may need more advice from you guys again...
