I got a DRZ400E here in Australia they come out road ready/worthy straight from the factory along with the 3x3 mod more aggressive cams and the keihin fcr39mm flat slide carburettor with bigger jetting stock is a 165 main jet
I've raced the widow before, so that was no surprise. My surprise came from the WR450! I really wasn't sure the widow could hold it off. That was a ton of fun and even though it wasn't exactly scientifical it really does show exactly where all of those bikes stand.
Yeah buddy! While we're on the topic do you know if the tractor has been re jetted ? I've got some popping upon when i let off the throttle. Has an after market exhaust. That's it.
msrphoto I believe it was just cleaned... pull that thing out and spray it down... if it hasn't done that in the past it probably just needs a little TLC.
Cleaned it 2000 miles ago. Today I put in a plunger style choke www.ebay.com/bhp/cv-choke and adjusted the mixture screw 2.75 out and it helped quite a bit. That choke rocks. No more of that plastic housing to mess with. Next, the re-jet. Wish I had a stock exhaust. lol
Fresh sub here, I just got done watching ALL your tips videos and have to say, it's cool you made that as I learned a ton of valuable info and it is refreshing to see you are more about the journey and not the destination(enjoying the love of MotoVlogging and not focusing on the notoriety) I'm the same way, but I'm glad to have learned from you. Your humble attitude is very inspiring and refreshing and not just being a kiss ass here Anyway.that's a nice KLR. I love old big thumpers as well. I got an 06 DR650 that is motarded. It's been doing my channel well. People may pick on its weight and how old/outdated it is but some fast twisties changes their tune real quick.
MotardSteve Thanks man! I LOVE a DR 650 and hope to do more testing on one someday. You're right, with some grippy tires those things will sing in the twists :) Motovlogging is more of a therapy to me than anything else. Talking to nobody in particular while engaging in a favorite activity is just good for the soul. When you get to do that and make friends/meet people that you have never met otherwise, then it's just a winning combo :)
eveRide ADV I couldn't agree more. I've said it once before that MotoVlogging is just one of those therapeutic things because you get to talk about the things on your mind and enjoy the passion of riding all at once. I've even made a few good friends which wouldn't be possible otherwise due to geography so this is definitely a community I want to stay involved in. I plan to get some dirt trim for the DR once $$$ gets better. I hear they make brilliant adventure bikes just like the KLR. On the flip side I wonder if anyone has motarded one.
This makes me feel a lot less crappy about losing our drag races last summer on the road. I knew the Widow had cahones, but daaaang! And on 20% Kenda tread? Just wow.
Once again a excellent video! Everyone of your videos makes me want to get a bike even more. I am saving for one. But following your advice of saving slow but sure and not buying on payments. I plan on having one this summer. Keep up the superb work!
Yes! I knew the widow would win! I was a little unsure about the 450, but with weight and mods I had a feeling the drz would come out victorious. By the way... your videos are getting absolutely incredible man!
I would have guessed it was a draw with the Black Widow and the WR450F, which seems to be the case ( the 450F had a rough start with that almost-wheelie at the beginning). Still, it says a lot to what a modified DRZ can do. Did the remodel of your bike include any engine mods (BBK/stroker) or just the stock E cams and a tuned FCR carb? :-D
ladyeclectic Funny enough the engine was all left stock. I do want to do a rematch against a WR450, though. I hopped on a newer one on a recent ride with friends in Moab and that thing felt REALLY fast!
That was fun! Thank you eveRide for putting that little sporting event together! I'll admit I thought the WR450F would win. But I'm not so surprised about the Black Widow win... While the WR-F is a worthy opponent, BW is after all a 400 (not giving up a lot of displacement), and most people just don't understand what a great motor the DRZ has. While I haven't had occasion to own one, I've been infatuated since they first came out in 2000. That motor is amazing. The whole bike is, even in stock form. Way more dirt worthy than most of the old school dual sports (XR-L, XT, DR), while still being just as streetable. Only the WR250R compares, and the DRZ's got a far better motor. The DRZ only begins to fall short in dirt worthiness when compared to the likes of an EXC or Beta RS. And then add the Mrduhfactor touch... MDF graced not just the motor, but the suspension as well. Dirt and street worthy... Yeah, I'd love to take the BW for a spin. I'll bet she's a great ride! Thank you again, sir, for another fine video!
Whatchyoo talkin' 'bout Willis? Hmm, if the Black Widow had come last, this video might have remained unlisted! :-p Great little comparison/shoutout video mate. :-)
CaliforniaDSRiders lol I think Dr. Dualsport might have just had a slow-ish start... we need to race again, but I'd be worried about ever doing pink slips :D
shadetree surgeon I think it was just a wild start... you can see him wheelie a bit and almost crash into ColoradoDualSport. We're going to have to do a rematch!
The Black Widow takes it! Impressive... Not surprised over the other DRZ and WR250... Nice to see you walk on a WR450 though. Very cool... The Black Widow never disappoints!
Hey eveRide love your videos I watch almost all of them! I've been thinking about motovlogging but I'm 14 and don't have a liscense yet (obviously) but i still have a lot of places that I can explore on my klx300 legally around where I live. I was wandering what kind of profit do you get out of motovlogging? Can't wait for another video! -james
ITFoffical Ah man the profit from making videos definitely isn't there yet. Right now I still can't pay my bills from motovlogging/youtubing, and I run a few different channels. Things are getting better, though. The day that I can pay all the bills from just videos will be an awesome day... but right now I'll make $1000 a month if I'm lucky, and adsense is just a fraction of that. I wouldn't start motovlogging for money, motovlog because you love riding!
With the bike whisper working on yours I would say you had the upper hand. I was rooting for C.D.S. [ us big guy's got to stick together ] Looks like ya'll had a good time and that makes ya'll all winners. Stay safe
They done Magic to the Black widow that we know for sure Now as for the bets................................................ 1st place Mmmmm Im going to say the Black widow "and I have the video paused just after the race or is it before never mind " Impressive none the less DRZ POWERRRRRRR Thumbs up Btw I believe in that picture truly Legit actually I was there :)
Hermit DaVlog Dude we need to do a MrDuhfactor motorcycle roundup. Katsumi vs Daisy Chain vs The Widow vs whatever that super scary 500 2 stroke he's got! My money's on the two stroke!
At 98kg I weigh as much as some guys on their bikes with gear..Must know secrets!! 😂 Seriously loved the presentation of the contenders before they all got a face full of your rear 😁
Looks like the WR450 had a terrible launch, thats okay though, I've never been found of the flute company that also happens to make motorcycles ! hahaha
well, the trick is in the tuning. i rode with a group of KLR owners once. a guy with a bike same year as mine with an aftermarket muffler learned that the bike must be tuned. lol. mine has more weight on it and is about 1/2 a quart from being a two stroke.... and i dusted him. can hardly hear mine on the gopro. hahaaaa --- wait... thats like bragging about two turtles racing... lol
I watch Secret Garden Projects DR videos and marvel at the guys riding. I am new to DS so I feel like a am wrestling an 800lbs gorilla the second I get into anything sketchy.
Cool vid! Hay "E" when are you going to make the video with all the subscriber's bike pics you were asking for a while back?
hubifornia That's a big huge series I'm working on... still getting some footage and doing some research for that one!
A drag race amongst friends and there isn't 1 winner. Laughter and good times aplenty.
Makes me want to drop what I'm doing and join you guys.
bdseidler YES! It's not really about the bikes, it's about sliding that back tire around a bit and chuckling about it with your buddies :D
I got a DRZ400E here in Australia they come out road ready/worthy straight from the factory along with the 3x3 mod more aggressive cams and the keihin fcr39mm flat slide carburettor with bigger jetting stock is a 165 main jet

ColoradoDualSport I think we should do a rematch :)
eveRide ADV Yes Rematch!!!!!!!! LOL!!! HAHA!!!!!!!!
Yeah buddy! While we're on the topic do you know if the tractor has been re jetted ? I've got some popping upon when i let off the throttle. Has an after market exhaust. That's it.

Super fun day...story to be continued! I did not win the sprint however I did receive the Mr. Congeniality Award.
Dr. Dual Sport I think a rematch is in order!
Nice video! Great group of riders.
I thought that nitrous fogger kit would come in handy one day.... WIDOW for the win!!!! Lol
Lol you got that nitrous tank ready for Ursula right?
MrDuhfactor rofl! So THAT'S what that button does! :D

Once again a excellent video! Everyone of your videos makes me want to get a bike even more. I am saving for one. But following your advice of saving slow but sure and not buying on payments. I plan on having one this summer. Keep up the superb work!

Thank you again, sir, for another fine video!
gncc1race Get out here some time and you're welcome to take the Widow for a spin!
If I ever am in your neck of the woods, sir, I will!
How much horsepower does that drz have?
Great video man, always clean with your edits!
SumoREDsm Thanks! This one was a bit of a reach... I've been kinda... lacking lately.
Man Great Video!!!
Man I dream of going out to Utah and riding with you guys!
hillbillydualsport Let's make that dream a reality sometime eh? :)
eveRide ADV One day!
Looks like fun! Fantastic Video! Thanks For Sharing My Friend!
lonestarrider Thanks sir :D
Who won?
I can't wait to add a dual sport to my stable. It will look lovely next to my FJR and my R1 :)
Tommy Twowheels I just got chills thinking about an FJR and R1 in a stable... I don't think my wife would like those bikes in the garage :)
Its been two weeks whered ya go? ;)
Pro355Street Ah man sooooo busy! Got lots of new footage, though :)
Whatchyoo talkin' 'bout Willis?
Hmm, if the Black Widow had come last, this video might have remained unlisted! :-p
Great little comparison/shoutout video mate. :-)
***** Nah I would have posted it... it is a pretty old bike, after all!
So who won..
Wow! Good stuff. Very suprising. I was sure the WR450F would win.
Tell me you raced for pinks??!! Now you have 3 more sweet bikes!
CaliforniaDSRiders lol I think Dr. Dualsport might have just had a slow-ish start... we need to race again, but I'd be worried about ever doing pink slips :D
Man! I was surprised "like most" to see the wr450 left behind!
shadetree surgeon I think it was just a wild start... you can see him wheelie a bit and almost crash into ColoradoDualSport. We're going to have to do a rematch!
Its a Yamaha... how could it compete???
eveRide ADV We wheelied into one another! Yep, just going to have to do it again!
What an epic vlog/drag race/mod list/blatant lie/good laugh all rolled into one. Congrats on the win ;-)
***** bwahahaha glad you snuck "blatant lie" in there ;D
The Black Widow takes it! Impressive... Not surprised over the other DRZ and WR250... Nice to see you walk on a WR450 though. Very cool... The Black Widow never disappoints!
Pastor Bug I was just as surprised! I think we should do a rematch.
e.v ive watch you for a long time and u have got a lot better off-road enduro riding
Hey eveRide love your videos I watch almost all of them!

My wr450 goes 0-60 in less than 6 seconds... yeah the dude on the 450 had a crappy start
must not have known it was a drag race.. lol
With the bike whisper working on yours I would say you had the upper hand. I was rooting for C.D.S. [ us big guy's got to stick together ] Looks like ya'll had a good time and that makes ya'll all winners. Stay safe
Tankerman Yeah man this was just a very short blip of how much fun was had that week! Much more great footage coming soon from all of these guys!
Wow that surprised me!
DownUnderDualSport Me too! :)
the drze is a beast with the better cams 39m carb and bigger header alot quicker then a drzsm or s
+Matt drift It definitely surprises me how well it does against some of the bikes I thought would be faster! I love the E :)
eveRide ADV I have a drz400k - even lighter than the e - and from factory has lighter flywheel and different crank - goes bloody well.
Great vid. I cant tell but something is up with that picture, ah I don't know maybe its just me.
dave09650 Which picture? Hermit DaVlog's? That one messes with my mind.
This is why you are amazing! Awesome vid
1199 Panigale lol any kind of "amazing" that I may be comes directly from MrDuhfactor :)
I expected more out of the 450, shoulda been on pace with the E
saltysalttheagent We'll have to do a rematch!
Whoa, you were outta there like 6th grader trying to escape a wedgy
iRide uWatch Bwhahaha! I hear Hermit DaVlog delivers a mean wedgy!
I thought WR450F will win. Didn't listen about the weight it will be hauling :)
Unless the wr450 had a blown motor, there is no way a drz would beat it.
Guy on the 450 got a really really bad start. He would've stomped everybody if he got a good run. The DRZ400E woulda been hot on his tail though!
Hahahaha!!! Rojo grease!!! Love it!! :)
Whiskey Throttle Crew Hahahah! Only a few people get that :D
They done Magic to the Black widow that we know for sure
Now as for the bets................................................
1st place Mmmmm Im going to say the Black widow "and I have the video paused just after the race or is it before never mind "
Impressive none the less DRZ POWERRRRRRR
Thumbs up
Btw I believe in that picture truly Legit actually I was there :)
***** lol! You know the Widow too well :D We're going to have to do a rematch, though... the start from the 450 wasn't the smoothest.
Wow that guy on the WR250R sucks. You'll have to get minitstop and Daisy Chain to represent next time.
Hermit DaVlog Dude we need to do a MrDuhfactor motorcycle roundup. Katsumi vs Daisy Chain vs The Widow vs whatever that super scary 500 2 stroke he's got! My money's on the two stroke!
I bet the Dr will win......uh Buda. I lose. You forgot to tell all the gearing.
At 98kg I weigh as much as some guys on their bikes with gear..Must know secrets!! 😂 Seriously loved the presentation of the contenders before they all got a face full of your rear 😁
jonwilli0203 BWAHAHAHAHAHA oh man that last part just cracked me up! :D
Really eh......I'm impressed!
canuckk61 Yeah I was pleasantly surprised!
Looks like the WR450 had a terrible launch, thats okay though, I've never been found of the flute company that also happens to make motorcycles ! hahaha
Holow599 rofl! I've never heard it called a flute company but that makes it way funnier!
The poor little 250r got eaten for breakfast.
good times
pound for pound cc for cc the WR 250 has the most get up and go.
Dr dual sport
I came here looking for Photoshop pictures but clearly see everything is legit. ;-)
Neil's in... hahahahha! Gary Coleman agrees!
wr450-drze (close)------drzs-wr250
haha to my defens the wr450 had a bad start but to be honest i did not know who was going to get first of those 2 bikes :P
ultimadriver We're going to have to do a rematch here soon with the WR450.
sorry too the other awesome guys But WIDOW all the WAY! :D
Love that black widow, she's so sassy.
Great vid man
DRZcoffeegirl Ride You'll have to ride the Widow sometime! April, I'm thinking :D
yes this must happen!!!! :)
My money is on the yammy wr450...he lost too much time at the start. Do it over
NakedBeachRider Oh don't worry, rematch coming soon!
what a surprise... lol...
b1pig I personally thought the 450 would dust me!
well, the trick is in the tuning. i rode with a group of KLR owners once. a guy with a bike same year as mine with an aftermarket muffler learned that the bike must be tuned. lol. mine has more weight on it and is about 1/2 a quart from being a two stroke.... and i dusted him. can hardly hear mine on the gopro. hahaaaa
--- wait... thats like bragging about two turtles racing... lol
haha nice!
WHAT no 650cc beeeefallos?
1MileAtaTime That's for an upcoming video :D We DID get that footage, though!
Awesome! Any chance you can give one of your unbiased comparisons on the Dr650 vs the Klr650? I saw your brother was riding one for a while.
1MileAtaTime When either jaetheo or dustysquito come out here this spring on the DR650, I'd love to take one for a spin and see how it stacks up :)
The DR will destroy all competition. Don't worry about that.
I watch Secret Garden Projects DR videos and marvel at the guys riding. I am new to DS so I feel like a am wrestling an 800lbs gorilla the second I get into anything sketchy.
:-D
I bet the 450!Lol!
crawlervideo lol no lie, I did too! We'll have a rematch sometime :)
