How did you hook up the key i cant figure it out

Do you need a ecu tune if you only swap the entire exausth?

I have a 2023. Do you have a video of all the mods you’ve done and were they easy

Led Zeppelin wrote a song about this video: Ramble On!! Get to the point.

At 5:00 why do you say you need to get "that stupid pinlock defroster thing". If it's stupid, why get it? Saying it's stupid would mean it doesn't make sense or doesn't have value. I don't understand the reasoning of the statement.

👏👏

What headlight fairing is that?

Sounds much better. I was surprised.

Did you end up doing the steel braided lines? Ive been looking for the line lengths but haven’t been able to find the sizes.

Hi - Did you leave the stock exhaust gasket on the mid pipe? I am switching from the upswept slip-on to the hi-output exhaust, and I had to remove that gasket for that install. I think not having it there is keeping the 48427 exhaust extremely loose. If it's not that, then I suspect that rubber grommet connection is pretty dicey. Thank you!

Results are in: both are slow AF

Fuel injection or nothing!

Klx is a cool looking bike but needs more power and a way better rear shock .. then it’ll Be perfect

I stopped halfway through after the 10th “idk. Just not my thing”

if your're overweight its easier and cheaper and healthier for you to lose weight than the bike.

Careful w the clamp on this exhaust - Vance and Hines had to replace mines and pay for repairs due to the clamp being loose and smacking my rear bolt slider. If you bought the first batch you should contact them to get the replacement clamp.

Nice video!

thoughts on the headlights for dark riding looks pretty decent, and is there a big diffrence between low and high beam. thanks

The FRC carb is not really much better than a properly jetted stock carb. Especially considering the cost. You would be better off buying a FMF Powerbomd header and their 4Q muffler. The JD jet kit is also very effective. Replacing the o-ring chain with a quality standard chain will also free up some power. I have an opened up DRZ400E with the original FCR carb. And my buddy has all the mods I mentioned, on his DRZ400S. There is not a noticeable difference in the power of the two bike. His JD jet kit was about $80. The FCR kits are typically around $400. Your money is better spent on the exhaust system.

Good video man! I’m with you on the exhaust. I still love the look of it better than any other. But I think I may go MRD someday. Decisions decisions..💪🏼

Could you possibly make a video on how to change the brakes on the KLX 300SM? I have changed brakes on a few cars and my truck, so pretty sure I can handle my bike, but I'm scheduled to let the Dealership do it for $270 the 19th this time just in case. I would like to do it myself after that though, possibly before if you happen to need to do brakes before then. Thank you much 🙏

These are good points I didn't know, thank you for the information 🤜🤛 I didn't know you could Big Bore the DRZ, but yeah the KLX 300 is a Big Bore 250. Can you make the DRZ Fuel Injected is my question? That would solve the 1 complaint everyone has about it.

It’s interesting to hear your take on the drz. I have had a couple wr250’s, a x and a r model converted to sumo. Personally I prefer them more due to weight and crispy-ness if that’s a word lol. They definitely lack the torque of the drz but I like bikes that you have to rev out to ride effectively I guess. I also owned a drz between the two but it was kind of a turd honestly so that probably doesn’t help my biased opinion. I’d be interested to ride a klx300 though, I’d bet it’s comparable to the wr250’s, good video man!

It’ll be interesting to hear your experience with the Keihin FCR. Many DRZ riders swear by this modification.

Okay so I timed myself, at 125LBS plus a 30LB food delivery backpack, and I can consistently hit 0-60 in 10 Mississippis. I do appreciate your video though 🙏

Where did you get the exhaust? Can you shate the link?

JH Motor Club Drag Raced them at the same time and his 0-60 was 9 seconds, yours was 20 seconds. The KLX starts out winning, then the DRZ walks it down and wins by like 2 car lengths.

When I got my KLX I hit 100, but I weigh 135LBS and now that I changed the gearing I can't go past 90. I hit 60 by 3rd gear though, and to be honest your not good at drag racing. No offense, just saying your 0-60 times aren't accurate. You do weight more, but I can just tell your taking off like a cop is behind you.

Content is KING.....Style is for most MILLENIALS and younger and those that still live in mom's basement with no real life experiences....Great video! Real life stuff, not a fashion-make-me-feel good pooh-pooh. Having said that, the Suzie is going to feel faster because....torque is always king and is always related to displacement. But then with a few performance mods, you were able to make the Kawie into an-all-you-may-ever-need base MODERN bike. The few extra 2-4 hp you add in the middle allow it to cruise much easier at 75 speedometer indicated (closer to 71-72 actual real?) meaning that cruising at right under 80 indicated (75 actual) is a possibillity. I love the Z400 naked bike, I believe it to be the best value out there today in all types of motorcycling, period. But the KLX300SM opens more possibilities and for me it is a toss-up of how much off-road I may want to do vs the dirt-friendlier KLX300. The Suzie is a great bike but older in the same vein that the heavier (older)DR650S and (newer)KLR650 are. If the DRZ400SM were to be upgraded to FI and a 6th gear plus some suspension bits, it would walk away from all SM in being the best value for the buck and JAPANESE in its reliability killing the need to spend $4 - $5 k into more expensive, less reliable and maintenance-extensive Eurobikes. No mods necessary or mandatory there. Until then, the KLX300SM is the winner in the value SM category.

Take the baffle out it sounds nasty

Ive been riding motorcycles for awhile now, and honestly im past the speed phase. I dont care to get to places fast, id rather take my time and enjoy the view. I love my KLX300sm. Having the ability to ride on the street and easily transition to offroad has made me love riding motorcycles even more. If youre looking for something super fast, this bike isnt for you. If youre looking for something versatile and that allows you to explore many different terrains, the KLX will do you just fine.

Hello. What was the total cost of the performance mods? The DR-Z400SM is already highway capable in stock form, but it costs $1500 more.....list price of course. Your mods puts it at about the same performance level as the as the DR-Z. I saw a decent 75 MPH Highway cruise at around 6500 - 7000 rpm. And a little reserve passing power.

OMG DUDE! change your tampon!

Good thing it didn’t rain, I can’t bring you dry socks anymore 😂😂

I was fully expecting 69 😅

She’s ready for No Coast now!

the drz seems to be lacking power from my quick observation, was very surprised to see it was the drz ridden in the first night clip, swore it was the kawi

I put the zoom loop on my 22 Grom, and reset the ECU. Smells like it’s running a bit rich and its a dog if you’re running in the hills 😢 Like sub 40mph. So far the exhaust is all I’ve done. I do like the sound of the zoom loop. I live in NorCal

from 7;46 to 8:56 you sat at a red light holding the clutch in?? it's easy to find neutral on my klx, what gives?

55 mph is pretty good! How much do you weigh?

Awesome Video! You have to love it when engineers don't put any thought into the application process.

I learned on a modified drz400. And I bought the klx300. Fuel injection and 6 speed, other wise I would get the drz400. It so nice torque but I like the easy starts in fluctuating weather.

It’s not the 2023 second generation Scrambler.

Just did my personal best yesterday, slight downhill, wind in my favor, 70mph. I have bar end mirrors, fender eliminator kit, and Kemimoto Exhaust, 170lbs rider non tucked. This is on a 23' with around 550 miles. I have yet to try it on my daughters 23' with same mods besides ISTUNT exhaust. You'll save good weight with eliminator kit and exhaust.

I'm torn between these two. Probably end up with the DRZ due to secondary market. Great video.

The Carb but most trobling is no 6 gear on the drz

Jigs&

I timed 10 seconds plus on the Kawa to 60! That's very slow.

DRZ400 with big bore all the way!!!!!

Hey guy I'm a fellow grom rider and I weigh about 260 lbs. I'm really curious to see what kind of speeds you get. Mine will only run 55 to 58 with me on it stock. Thanks for the video keep up the good work.
