I removed all of the plates and now the key turn freely but my theft system is going on and off repeatedly when open the doors

Thank you! Worked like a charm! And I ca confirm, it in fact works with the key of a 2014 Corolla as that my other car too 😂

Awesome riding out there, we rode atvs for a week but i wanna get out there on my crf300l

We don't know that the gear ratios have changed, though. Suzuki has only stated that they changed the gear parts to reduce friction. They didn't mention gear ratios.

Dude, thanks 🙏. So glad your favorite is the one I'm getting! Wr250r 😊

I’ll reserve my judgement until I get a chance to ride it. Honestly, I’ll take efi and 15lbs over a carburetor. I ride in the winter. I want to be able to take off after 30 sec of idling, not 5 min

I’ve had 4 WR’s over the years. Always wanted to try a DRZ but I won’t go back to a carb Now it’s different. Not excited about electronics and extra weight. But unless other manufactures come up with something, the DRZ4S is going to dominate the market

Its interesting to hear other peoples perspective on these new models. I am definitely curious about how they will perform bone stock and likewise curious about what the aftermarket possibilities will be. Will it be a complete ecu swap out if you want to do an exhaust/intake modification or will it be programmable? This will make a big difference on const in my opinion. I think that is a huge Achilles heel of the 450L and RL models and makes them less popular. Mechanically, it will be interesting to see how the gearing changes impact the performance on and off road. I'm hoping the ride modes are something you can just turn off and leave off unlike some of the counterparts like the ktm 690 where you have turn off each time you switch your key off. I definitely would like to see one in person and do some comparisons. I honestly think that the RMX450Z was the new DRZ that never was. It was lighter, had EFI, factory EFI, Aluminum frame, electric and kick start, ect but that's just my opinion. It also was the good kind of EFI where you have a throttle position sensor and you have an actual throttle cable. The throttle by wire on these makes me nervous. If they don't do it right, it will ruin the platform. I'll stick to my carbed versions and I'll sit back and watch.

It's very interesting that Suzuki has decided to update the DR. As for the KLR reference, the EFI on the gen3 KLR didn't make the bike any faster but it did make it a better starter in cold weather and improved the economy and the bike seems less stressed at 75mph. The big change was the longer swingarm which did wonders for the handling on bad and loose surfaces. Kawasaki should have made 5th gear a little taller and 1st a little lower but they didn't.

Thanks for doing the genetically superior reviews, (kidding, not kidding ) I’m quite tall and have trouble sorting through average height people’s reviews of many bikes. Things they struggle with are sometimes absolute non issues for us tall guys, but, without actually doing certain things , who’s to know? Anyways, kidding aside, size, ergonomics and weight matter and are very different for different sized people. I appreciate you sharing your experiences as someone over average height and weight for us who are far from average.

New gear doesn't mean new ratios. In their release they said they are made of a new alloy that will reduce drag. They didn't say anything about ratios.

I hope it works out but I already have a great DRZ with many farkles. I don’t care bout weight because I end up adding bags and racks and guards anyway.

Its not an exploded view, its a cut away.

Carb jetting was the biggest drawback on the old one. Living at sea level and ridng in the high mountains in Colorado meant you spent way to much time with the carb off. Gearing and power were never a problem even on the most technical trails if it was properly jetted. If the price stays in the same ballpark the better spread of gears, upgraded suspension and better ergos are icing on the cake. Aftermarket exhaust, lighter turn signals and taillight unit plus a lithium battery should put the weight back in the ballpark.

It cant be that much to do a gear swap on the moto trans. Especially if its just fifth. Toss a nice long tooth gear in there the highest you can go and caller a day!

Loved my DR350 but hated the carburetor so EFI was a long awaited and welcome improvement. Welcome to the 90s! I wish Kawasaki made a KLX450. They should make a KLX450 ADV with a five gallon fuel tank and a large rear rack.

Based on the thumbnail, I came here hoping to hear that the new DR-Z4S has a better gear spread to make it more useful than the previous model. Instead, I learned that it *might* have different gear ratios. I wanted to see a 6 speed but honestly, five gears spread out more would work. It needs a low 1st and 2nd for off road, a high 5th for on road overdrive, and 3rd and 4th that space out the middle evenly. Why is that so difficult? +1 for EFI!

My guy, suzuki said they revised the transmission gear profiles and shoulders for oil drag. Suzuki still says it has a ‘compact’ 5 speed. They do not once mention revised ratios. Dont you think theyd have mentioned revised ratios with all this internet hate about the gear spacing? Its the same gear ratios as before, just get the bike and install the ACT wide ratio gearset. Problem solved for additional $3000.

I agree, I think people draw conclusions too fast based on paper stats. However, you zoomed in on the engine with some attention to detail with reasonable afterthought regarding the changes. Lastly, for anyone who made a quick judgement call that this bike is not an upgrade, your call out regarding EFI, ABS, catalytic convertor etc. all adding weight, that cannot be avoided per EU requirements if Suzuki wants to continue selling the bike in those countries with stringent regs. It would be nice if people took all that into consideration. It still may not be the bike for them nothing wrong with that, but at the very least....I think people should reserve judgement until reviewers have ridding the bike and can provide hands on feedback instead of people basing their decisions on paper stats.

I went the opposite direction. Sold my WR250R for a DRZ because I wanted more power. After putting about 15k on each bike, I can say that the WR250R was the superior bike. I'm not really excited about the new DRZ. They didn't change enough to improve the character of the bike. I wish Yamaha would build a WR400R and get back in the game.

I hear ya! Hope it pans out, and power increased/weight reduced for as cheaply as the original.

You complain about fuelling issues with the old DRZ and you bought a CRF450L?

I mean a 5 speed is not a deal breaker, if you have ridden a YZ250 vs. a YZ250X in the woods or on a faster track a small gearing change in the transmission added a ton of top speed to the bike. I'd love to try one.

Well, let us know if it has a wide range five-speed transmission that's good enough to merit not complaining about it not having that 6th gear which would allow a super low first and an interstate overdrive.

Why are inverted forks a benefit? Leaks? Harder to work on?

From what I've heard from people working in dealerships, the new DRZ is going to be quite a bit more expensive.

I have a deposit on a Gray DR-Z4S. I've owned my 2002 DR-Z 400S since 2006. I doubt I will sell it when I get the 4S though.

Should check out the KTM 390 Enduro that was just dropped . Definitely not a hardcore dual sport. But more of a duke setup as a dual sport but It might cost only 5500

Extremely difficult riding!

Spring couldn’t come sooner. Even if it’s just gravel backroads in my area.

u ever been to dyracuse in Wi? Drz or wrr there?

Thanks for the review. As a 6' 6" 280 lb. off-road rider, the T7 really interests me. I recently picked up a used one and am in the process of modifying it for off-road with stiffer springs, high fender kit, 50/50 tire, and some engine/clutch protection. Your comments about the bar risers and dropped foot peg are helpful. I am in Utah and RMATV charted some nice 4-5 day rides that I bought this bike for. th-cam.com/video/pV_MC1Qua2M/w-d-xo.html

GODAMM TREE CLIBINZ! GET THAT SHIT OFF THE TRAILL!!!!

Uh wow 🤩 do you fit ? I’m 6’4 1.93 cm

It’s comfortable for tall rider like me (6’4 ft) 1.93 cm ?

Thank you. I am considering getting one of these for some light tire work (occasionally replacing riding mower tires and such), and I couldn't figure out how it worked until I saw your video. Very helpful!

How do you change transfluid

I had a '19 in the desert, it was great out there for higher speed offroad. Steahly flywheel weight, +1 to 14t sprocket, snorkel out, and Ultra HD rear tube soften'd the throttle for me, bumping the idle up a bit on single track took away the "crack" off low rpm decel in second gear. Cost about $130 before Bidenomic's on my '19 450L. Personally id never spend $1k on an ECU but thats just personal preference. Honda did what they had to, to meet the Nazi EPA BS. I loved mine in Western USA, but moving back home to upper Great Lakes woods it was too high strung for me including suspension. Showa makes great stuff though, my 15 year old CRF450X oem Showa was the best Iv ever been on. Right now Im on a new KLR {awesome bike, despite what trolls say} and been loving putting on 200 miles a day of logging roads/back roads. Its a nice break from single track.

I bought the Dsport rear tire for my KLR650 (i know it's a bigger bike), but was so slippery even on dry pavement that I removed the next day. For my new KLX300, i just got the typical MT21 / D606 combo.

Look like you got great terrain to ride. Subscribed ✅

I have owned a WR250R and it’s one of the best dual sports / trail bikes out there…….i now own a 2020 CRF450L and can confirm that it is the new champion of Dual Sport / Trail / Enduro bikes. Incredible job well done by Honda!

Thanks for the info. I’m definitely considering this one first on my new T7!

Just did this on my 01. Worked 👌 Thanks for posting. You saved me some money

6’4 (193 cm )Ft !! I hope to buy it ❤️

Will spraying dry silicone into the keyhole keep it from binding like yours did?

How tall is the original US General 5 drawer cabinet with the lid open I'm just trying to plan thank you

Finally a review from a guy that doesn't have the bodymass of a sparrow with full blown aids! I'm a C hair over 6 feet, 270 lbs former strongnan competitor. I've been torturing myself watching reviews on the T7 and vstrom 800de cross comparing them. I rant want to live the t7, but i think the Strom makes more sense.... I live in Northern Alberta Canada and the roads are terrible, but we have endless atv trails and fire roads. I will spend most of my time on road, but want to take advantage of what NoeAlta has to offer offroad. The suspension seems to be the thing everyone rags on, and they're typically 170 lbs. I know you said you'd re-spring and valve immediately but you didn't hand out on the topic. Makes me think it'd be on for a season maybe. But I'm wondering how urgent the suspension on a Strom would need attention by comparison🤔

I’m currently building a T7 to race and I’m of the opinion that protection should first protect the things that will likely be damaged if you dump it and then how consequential damage would be to continuing on. I’m running some Acerbis engine covers, a beefy skid plate and a Radiator brace. Good enough protection without turning the bike to a heavy tank(more than it is). I went with R-Tech full body plastics same benefit as the Camel ones, but subtle different styling.

Exactly what I was lookin for dude. Thanks

How would you describe the leg room? I am 6'2 with a 34 inch inseam but I also have bad knees. Sitting on it, are you crunched up?
