Very interested.. I own a 1997 bmw f650 funduro .. a modified version of my bike called the f650 RR won 1st place of the Dakar rally in 1999 of the 650cc class i would like a rally tower as an option.. to be able to line up with all factory tank bolts as the headlight fairing bolts to the tank.. I guess I should draw up some ideas but none the less you have got my wheels turning for ideas

Nice content helpful.

Thanks for making this video, I took apart my KTM 300 XCW carb for the first time and forgot how it went together - wise word to the many, don't strip your carb and think you'll remember how it went back together 1 month later 😄

So why did the cam get damaged. Did you work out what you did wrong. Looks like no oil

Nice. Where abouts did you obtain the graphics the correct size for the larger Safari tank ?

DR..ZED! Not Zee😂

was the pushrod spacer giving you any trouble? i cant seem to get mine all the way in so the pressure plate can fully engage

Looks good, although I do have some questions..... Can you fit this tower with a safari tank? Also, every one knows how dismal the stock alternator output is pretty weak at only 200W, what is the current draw of the headlight+ spotlight? Do you need to put a high output (250W) alternator in?? Apart from those small queries, looks good, I want one

You covered this really well!

Didn't break it in my guy!

Great story and admirable determination on your part.

Solid video thank you!

where are u from ?

I know this video is a couple of years old, but I would be interested to see how this project is progressing. And if possible buy a rally tower kit for my DRZ.

Mi Drz400e is hard to start and back fires once and while . But once warm it runs fine would you say maybe check the values are in spec thanks

Fools

I know this is an older video, but I’d rather have a factory opened airbox, then have to cut mine and butcher it, I need to dig into the Suzuki parts catalog and find out!

Wouldn't take a broken down wheel barrow to you guys

Nice. Half the price of the Yenkro. Can you use stock DR headlight?

Thanks

Hola! como sujetaste la torre al chasis?

A side load road book holder is $29. I it wouldn’t be worth the time or money savings to me but it’s a great job.

How many miles or KM where on it?

I like to cut straws downone side and place them on my spokes when painting rims

Thank you, clear and to the point. Waiting on my first drz, low miles , all stock. Cant wait to follow your suggestions, subscribed.

Dude you riped that thing off nice work bud brome times ya got do what ya gotta do in those close spaces

I'm wondering if you are still out there kicking it, trying to get it to start? Where was the sparkplug replacement and start video? You will want to top up coolant after running the bike and letting it cool too.

May i know how u design the bracket fitted to the drz’s chasis pic might ne helpful tq

I put Horses reins on my DRZ. Now I run behind it and this saves my tyres.

Is that a Keihin PWK 36 ags?

Hi there! How many KM's were on this engine? Love the vid!

I use a ratchet strap to get the carb back in. Taking it out is just a matter of disconnecting throttle cables etc, twosting sideways and pulling it out. I added a clip in one of my vids but will make another one showing the process. As far as metal parts- replace them. The cost of a new part (and seals) is way cheaper than trying to fix it without machining, and is the cost of owning a bike. With the service manual, you can strip the engine completely and rebuild it. Just follow their instructions. I recently resolved a hard start issue by replacing the cam lift shims. The timing chain didn't match the manual as well so I was reluctant to correct it. I eventually went by the manual specs, put the bike back and holy cow the thing ru s so much better. Trust the manual. TH-cam is good to understand the procedures, but you need to follow the specs.

Most other markets/countries have a different carb on the S model, the CV vacuum carb. if you don't rejet after opening the air box it will run bad. JD or Dynojet, the needle being the critical thing. Or fit the FCR carb ;)

If the big decal wouldn't stick them why would some smaller decals ? I have the 25 litre Safari tank on my T7 and wanted to make up for the decals I already had on the standard tank but know from MX experience that plastic tanks weep fuel (as do many fuel bladders) so would very likely not work. I've learned to live with it.

How many km or miles did you have on it

Great video. I have the Keihin FCR-MX39 which is fantastic. One thing to note is if I went to a bigger tank I wouldn't be able to reach the choke, it's even hard now as it is! But I have the SM model so I'll stick with the stock tank. Also if you do the 3X3 plus a full exhaust system and Keihin carb look up the jetting. I took my bike to Dynoverks and they jetted it for me. 40hp at the rear tyre isn't near the European motards but it's enough to have a lot of fun without reliability issues. Also, a lithium battery is a great addition for the DRZ. The battery sits up high at the back of the bike and the stock battery feels like a 6 pack of beer where a lithium battery feels like a pack of cigarettes.

Very good clear videos!!!

Great Video. Same issue on my EXC 300. How did you manage to get it to start again. Mine still refuses, even after carb, fuel and spark plug.

Awesome breakdown of the 3x3! Thanks for posting👌🏽

Awesome project!!

You guys selling designs for this?

thanks for the knowledge...very inspiring...want to ask can you see how to connect it to the motor body? Thank You

You took on a challenge that most would be scared to so well done. I wouldn't have the balls 😂

Greetings from Germany,😂 you're professionals, really funny but helpful! Thanks

Kool mate Thank you for this 👍👍👍

Great video! Super helpful while working on my 300. Thanks!

FYI The manual says to elevate the front of the bike 30" to properly bleed it

Can you paint the spokes to or is this not Good?

Took a chance and paid for it. Most of the rest of us would have done the same. I think what got you was sanding those cam bearings. Live and learn.

Dealers are biggest scammers
