This is one of the better DRZ's I have seen I can tell just by eye the difference in top end on your bike. Good job and nice sleek look as well.
Cheers!
Nice! Best looking DRZ I've seen. Picking up a '17 soon. Thanks for the info & clip!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy yours, they're great bikes.
Agreed
This bike is beautiful. It sounds just like mine. Makes mine look stock ugly. Thanks for showing
Sounds exactly like my SM..
Moves out nice.
Best DRZ video I've seen, by far.
Nice DR. Motards are fun to ride. I have an SXV5.5 and love it.
That street looks so deadly for riding, trees everywhere! Very nice bike, looks like so much fun.
Gave mine a little more preload on the rear to put a little more weight on the front.head shake gone even at 102 mph.oh and all the way on compression and about five clicks off from max on rebound all around too.those two things eliminated the head shake and it was bad before.im 5'9 165 lbs if that matters.thanks for posting, been getting all the info I can about big bore kit before I do it.
About as legit of a drz400SM as I've seen. 434 killin it bro
Man ya, I’m picking a 21 up in 2 days. Brand new!!
Cant wait !
Good video, that looked fun
I bought one this year. Are you still riding yours?
@@CoffeeAndBusiness
You bet. I ride it almost daily. Great bike. No regrats
Sold this one awhile back to try something different. I drank the orange kool-aid and now I'm hooked. KTMs are pretty hard to beat if you like flogging bikes.
Bike looks sick n sound great 👍 👌🤙🏾
Thanks!
Tasteful mods my dude
Man, that looks like fun.
Love this vid! I got my DRZ with the bbk but with stock carb and cams. Really wanna get the FCR now. Then stg 2 hotcams eventually.
Do it!
@@guitarhawaii Did it!
That's the way I would break it in to. Breaking in the way you're going to ride. Haha pure hooligan!
That's basically how they break-in brand new engines at the factory. Gotta seat the piston rings properly!
nice bike, I like the sanded yosh
thanks!
FYI: Have bought and sold a few bikes since this video was posted: 2007 KTM 690 SM Prestige, 2008 and 2011 KTM 690 SMC, another DRZ-E, and now a KTM 990 Adventure . I'll be posting mods and videos on those when I have time.
Man it hauls good...
Nice bike man!
This your bike is so nice. My bike had big end failure at 11 thousand miles 💔. I'm rebuilding and going 434 because of your video. Can I use the e model base gasket with my big bore kit ??. Thanks alot Brother 🤜🤛✊💨🏁🤘
Thanks! Yes, you can use the 'e' base gasket, but it raises the compression to 12:1, so I'd recommend using higher octane (premium) fuel if you go that route.
@@guitarhawaii thanks alot for your help brother 🤜🤛. I only use high octane even when bike was standard lol
Reason behind big end failure??
Awesome build! do you have a link for the tank graphics cant find anything similar over here in the UK, Thanks
Are you in Seoul? I went to SFS back in the 70's and the ROK army would have had your ass for riding like that back then. They were some rough dudes.
hello to you what was your setup on the FCR carburettor main jet idle jet and the type of your needle thank you very much have a nice end of the day
The specs are at 4:34 in the video.
Can you run a E head gasket on a S or SM model without having to change your heads?
Yes. The heads are all the same, the 'E' model has stronger valve springs and slightly more aggressive cams. If you run the 'E' base gasket you'll need to run premium fuel because of the higher compression ratio 12.2 : 1
bike is so sick bro nice job. hey did you make the graphics or can those be purchased?
Thanks! I bought them off fleabay. You can search for 'Factory Effex graphics'. I actually cut the yellow parts off the bottom of mine for a cleaner look.
any chance you have a link still? i looked through sooo many factory effex lol
very nicely done man, I like how its not completely chopped up but a little different. was it worth it with the stg 2 cams and bb?
Thanks! I did the hotcams first, and noticed a little more power in the higher revs. The BBK made a much bigger difference. Better torque throughout the rev range and a lot more fun to ride in general. Totally worth it if you can do it yourself. If you have to pay someone it might be a bit pricey and may be better to just get something like a Husky SM610 or a KTM 690 SMC.
+FreeRide hey thanks, I'm thinking I'm going to be doing that this winter when it's too cold to ride.
Yah man, it's totally worth it! I used the Namura cylinder with the JE piston and 1 layer 'E' base gasket. It can be had for $300. With the FCR/3x3/and a good pipe the bike is really fun.
Yeah I think we are going the have the same setup! Are you in the Army? I'm curious why you're in South Korea.
I'm not in the Army. I moved here awhile ago to teach English and travel. It's a great place!
About how much hp r u getting now?
Rad bike! Where did you get those sliders, and the one for the exhaust??
Thanks! Just sold it, but it was a great bike. The front sliders are stock and the rear were on there when I bought the bike. The exhaust slider I bought off fleabay.
Wow u have it all in this bike, what is the topspeed you get?
With that gearing it will hit 100mph ish.
looks fun... but be careful ;-)
Look like a badass! What was your top speed?
Cheers! With 15:39 gearing I've hit 100mph. Cruises at 80 all day no problem.
Hey there I have a question how often do you have to change the oil
Same as a stock DRZ, I did it every 3k km or so. The bike ran perfectly while I owned it.
진짜 풀 튜닝이네요.
튜닝 내역이 후덜덜~
good.^^
감사합니다 ^^
nice!, so you think i should go for stage 2 cams over the stage 1? i have all the same mods (mrd ssw pipe instead) except cams and stroker ( i wont dare to do stroker because of reliability issues) xD
From everything I read the Stage 2 cams are better for street riding where you want more power at higher rpm's. The Stage 1 are better for dirt where you need more low end torque. I did the cams first, then the big bore and I just installed the MRD pipe too (definitely added a few more bhp over the yoshi rs-2). The cams with the bbk make a big difference, the motor still goes at higher speeds. I thought about the stroker too, but I'd rather get a different bike than tear down the engine again.
i got a question was it harder to start after you put in the stage 2 cams?
No it starts right up, never had an issue. The exhaust cam still has the auto decompression like the stock cam though, so I think that helps. I've heard of other cams not having that which makes it a bit harder. I also did the "free power mod" basically routing the regulator/rectifier directly to the battery which gives the bike a little more juice.
What bar bend did you choose for the pro taper bars? I like the exact one that you have but do not know the name
Pro Taper Contour Carmichael Bend
@@guitarhawaiiin the vid weren’t they Cr highs?
@@danielwanetick6093 you're right, thanks for the correction. The details of the bike are at 4:34 of the video
Hello, how are you, do you have a question? I have a drz 400 sm 2008 with Big bore with wiseco piston and JT cylinder, kibblewhite valves and new springs but I need new cams.
Which would be better to gain more power and durability to the engine, the HOTCAM stage 1 or 2?
@@NormanSalazar-pi4do Stage 1 for more off-road riding, Stage 2 for more road riding. AFAIK stage 1 gives more low-end torque and stage 2 gives more top end. You could just get some E-cams, that are similar to stage 1. Any cams you use shouldn't affect durability. Have fun!
@@guitarhawaii Thanks for the help. I use the bike more on the road, but I have a ratio of 15:42. Would it be better to lower the rear sprocket?
@@NormanSalazar-pi4do that ratio sounds fine. I was using 15:39 because I was going on longer rides at higher speeds.
What size tires were you running in this vid
120 front 150 rear if I recall correctly. The rear rim is 4.25 wide, so putting a 150 on it has a better turn-in feel than the wider 160.
What's the handguards?
What's your tyre size? Front and back
What size Jets where you running?
Are u in japan?
Name of the silencer please?
I like it.
No problèms with the hotcams stage 2??
I just installing a big bore works 434cc and hotrods +4mm .so 469cc
I hesitate between stage 1 and stage 2 hotcams. 🤔
Thanks, sold it about 6 months ago. I had no issues with the Stage 2 cams. If you're planning to do more high speed riding Stage 2 is better. If you're doing more off-road (low speed riding) go with Stage 1. I thought going with a stroker, but I decided to sell it and buy a KTM SMC 690 instead :) Good luck with your build!
John Wade
Ok thanks you very much john.
I would like my drz to supermoto race. I take a stage 2 ok!!😉
John Wade
690smc. Yesss it is more powerful. My old motobike 😊
hi, what seat do you have installed?sweet looking drz !
Thanks, it's the SDG tall seat. www.sdg-innovations.com/shop/mx/mx-complete-seat-2/suzuki-drz-400-all-2000-2014-tall/
Is it easy to find DRZs out there? Moving to Korea soon and selling my 2014 DRZ400SM before I head over...hoping to buy one again at some point.
Yah they're pretty common. Bikes in general are quite a bit pricier than in the US, so unless you have tools and can find a fixer upper they're going to cost around 3-4 grand.
@@guitarhawaii Good to know, thanks! I'll pay any price to keep getting into supermoto shenanigans.
Do you have a link for the graphics? Super clean and I know you trimmed them, I want to do the same. Also in Korea if you're still here...
Kerndog I don’t have a link as I don’t think the company I bought them from is offering the same graphics kit. I’m still in Seoul and now riding a KTM SMC 690. Hit me up if you wanna ride.
John Wade just a little south of you... Headed to the bike show at COEX tomorrow if we can link up...
Any tips on installing the Rubber Killers? Cant find anything online about the install.
If you want to use the larger diameter bolts for the fatbar risers you'll have to drill them out. That's what I did since I also bought new a new protaper bar and bar clamps. Not sure if they'll fit as is with the stock clamps.
Is this bike still going? What kinda reliability did you see out of the kit? Looks like you were hauling ass
I sold it about a year ago, but as far as I know it's still running good. I ran it for about a year with the bbk and hotcams and never had any problems. Definitely mods worth doing to make the bike fun and still reliable.
What kit did you use?
Namura 434 BBK with a JE piston. E base gasket, stage 2 hotcams.
what country is this?! awesome dizzer...
Thanks, it's Seoul, South Korea. Some pretty good riding once you get out of the city.
dang man, what are you doing over there? you sound like you have quite the american accent; is there a lot of sumo guys over there?
I'm teaching English and living the dream!....hahaha. Marriage, a dog, and a good job makes living here easy. I think there used to be more sumo guys, haven't seen too many lately. I mostly ride with guys who have larger naked/sport bikes as it seems the sumo guys are younger and just want to do wheelies rather than hit the twisties.
when should I change my top end ? I have a 2012 drz 400s it has 11500 miles on it but still runs strong .
Never haha. If the bike is running fine leave it alone. If it becomes hard to start you might want to check the valve clearances. Otherwise just ride it. The DRZ head is very well designed.
@@guitarhawaii Sometimes it takes a couple cranks to start after it's been warmed up and then sits for a half hr or so , but if it sits all night it cranks right over .
@@dave32228 I think that's normal. That's why some carbs have a hot start choke.
does the big bore kit vibrate more ?
It shouldn't as long as the valves and cam chain tension are adjusted properly. I also have the Zeta Rubber Killers under the bar clamps so the bars vibrate a bit more, but steering response is better. The DRZ is generally a pretty smooth single. Regardless of mods it's going to vibrate, but not like a KTM 625/640/660.
the drz has how many kilometers with the kit 434 ?
37,000 km on the bike total. A little over 1,000km since the top end rebuild with the 434 cylinder and stage 2 hotcams. It's running smooth, and no problems so far.
+FreeRide Ok thanks !
slow down please
