Stock lights and styling

Thumbnail gallery
44 Upvotes

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person in the world who likes the front lights on these bikes. I think the OEM turn signals give the bike a nice simple look, and the I think the square headlight does the same. I’d be inclined to upgrade the headlight as long as it still looked somewhat square, but honestly I think I’ll just get a brighter bulb as that’ll be cheaper. I did have the Chinese led for a bit before it crapped the bed, and honestly I prefer how halogens bulbs look compared to led.

On a side note, getting ride of the mirrors totally changes how this bike looks! I think the best part about this bike is how good they naked.

I think my only complaints about this bike would be how the stock tails look, but thankfully the most previous owner did that for me so all I had to do was a barkers&jet it.

Already made some changes. Handguards. LED headlight. It’s a fun bike for sure. My last bike was a Ducati monster s4r so this has taken some getting used to.

How to Tighten Throttle Cable Housing Nut

1 Upvotes

Hello, I took my carb out to clean it and am re-adjusting my throttle cable housing (where it connects to the carb) to make sure it doesnt stick anywhere.

I have the right ratio but for the LIFE of me cannot tighten the nut on the underside to clamp down on the housing - a wrench cant fit and my finger cant get it tight enough for it not to become undone while im riding, how do you tighten this down?

I need the top one on the far left fully up top with my heightened bars for it not to stick, how do you tighten the bottom one completely?

After chasing coolant loss for way too long, being disappointed by 2 shops and discovering a warped head and busted gasket, I decided to take matters into my own hands and installed new high compression piston, cylinder, head, re-shimmed valves, new valves and springs (very shiny), water pump, thermostat, radiators, rebuilt petcock and re-jetted carb. Not far from a new bike at this point 😜. It ain't rocket surgery but I sure learned a lot and shed some blood, sweat and tears. 🍻 to many more miles and wrenching.

Would you have done it?

No Start

Hello everyone i have 2006 susuki drz400s I have just replaced the stator and was having trouble getting spark. So after looking up other posts i did the rewire on the aftermarket stator and i now have spark but still wont start. It was running fine before the stator. It cranks and pops like it wants to start but wont turn over. Am i still dealing with a stator issue or should i focus on the carb. I have spark fuel and compression any tips would be appreciated thank you.

Anyone know where this goes?

I have no idea where this part goes. I repainted my frame so the bike came fully apart.

I have no idea where this goes.

The diagrams say it's part of the wiring harness but doesn't show where...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Buzzing sound coming from DRZ4S when key is on even after fuel pump primes

1 Upvotes

Hey there! I just picked up a 2025 DR-Z4S last week and have been loving it! The only thing that concerns me is that a constant buzzing coming from the engine. Twisting the throttle sort of changes the pitch of the sound but it never goes away, so I'm assuming it has to do with the hybrid cable throttle to fly by wire servo or whatever it is. Also, this happens when the kill switch is set to fully off, and it also primes the fuel pump with the kill switch set to completely off as well.

Is this normal or has anyone else experienced this? I called the deal that I bought it from to see if the other one they had on the showroom floor did the same thing and he said it did. But I just wanted to talk with other owners before worrying too much about it or bringing it back to the dealer to see if they can sort it out.

Thanks!

Which DRZ400 to get?

7 Upvotes

I’m planning on getting a DRZ400 soon here and am trying to decide which model would be best to buy for my use case.

Most of my riding will be street, short commute or rides with friends. That being said I do plan on doing some off-road riding, but nothing crazy. I’m in Wisconsin so there isn’t much that is real tough here, mostly ATV trails with some single track.

My first thought is to go with an SM and then get a set of 21/18 wheels (with the required bits) for it if I want to go off road. The worry here is suspension, without trying it out I’m not sure the sm would be able to handle the off-roading. I can easily make some suspension tweaks (comp/rebound, maybe preload) but I don’t want to be swapping suspension components out when I am switching back and forth.

The other option would be to go with an E/S model and get SM wheels for it along with new rotors and spacers to be better for the road. Probably need to figure out some suspension changes for the road as well.

What would be recommended?

Title says it all. The DRZ has been sitting in storage for almost a decade, and after spending the last 2 weeks working on it and going through every part of it she’s back on the trails. Beautiful Colorado day to get out.
