Updated video of my 2007 Suzuki DR-Z400

Thought I'd make an updated video of my 2007 Suzuki DR-Z400S. Video includes the list of mods that I've done to it, and also a walk around with it running.

I've got the same bike, a blue 2007. Ridden it everywhere: dirt, clay, mud, gravel sand singletrack and fireroads. Mud holes, 2-lane and interstate. My only complaint is that after 150 miles your ass will get sore from the seat. What kind of tail-lite assembly do you have on this bike/

@repetitivemotion , That's awesome, yeah, they are very good dependable bikes that are a whole 'lot of fun to ride too.

It's an Edge tailight with 602 Moto LED signals. I purchased both from wheelingcyclesupply.

all i want to know is does this have more power than a yz125?

[76280zguy]

@amishscobey , It's kind of hard to compare the two as one is a pure dirt bike while the other is a dual sport, so they really are not in the same league. The YZ is definitely going to be quicker as it's a two stroke, but overall top speed the DR-Z is going to shine because of the gearing.

The two bikes are very different, so it's hard to compare the two.

these water cooled dual sport[s] worry me..as to a water leak way out in the sticks and the long push back. DO these bikes get holes and pee their water ?

[76280zguy]

@linoleumcarving , It's not really a problem if you have a good set of rad guards like Unabiker that will keep them well protected.

Keep in mind, most all dual sports and dirt bikes these days are liquid cooled so if it was a huge problem, they'd being doing it another way.

@epicstove did you ?

[76280zguy]

@mydogskip09 , I used a couple of small brackets for each of them. There is a threaded screw hole on each side of the fork which helped mount them and I also used a zip tie going on the backside of them around (it was hidden) so between the bracket and zip ties, they were stable. Kind of hard to explain and picture, but if you'd like to see a couple of close up photos of how they were mounted, send me a message and I'll send them to you.

[mydogskip09]

how did you get those lower fork guards to stay on there?

[76280zguy]

@bandguy360 No, not at all. It is the same as stock being that it is foam. They get great reviews. Just make sure it's oiled correctly!
