Bro the wheel don’t even go over your head when you wheelie that’s crazy 😂

It’s hard to beat cheap bikes. Just something about it

wow, nice bike. you have that set up perfectly!

i am 6 ft 160 pounds and COMPLETELY agree but feel WR250R to be Better than the honda crf250l on the road but you need t to know the power band is high up thank you awesome job

Thanks for your video

You do a good job big man I’ve got a cousin your size and he talks as you do I would think he was 5’ and about 120 pounds but when you meet him you’re like dude I had you mistaken for someone else 😂

Awesome build 👍 I have also just recently bought a cheap DRZ after many years of riding a WR250R. Surprisingly my first impressions were the ergonomics. Just with bar risers + fatbars this thing feels super comfy even compared to the WR. Having that extra torque is real nice too.

Very enjoyable video and spot on. :)

Thanks for the video bro, I recently did my front coilovers and I wish I knew to compress it before torque, my lower control arm bushings are completely torn. I’m curious where did you purchase the new oem parts?

I did a KLX400 {Green DRZ, those handguards looked great on mine LOL} last year also for about $3300, except mine already came with all the performance mods including same RS3.....WOW is it loud but sounds like a big block Chevelle. I just replaced tubes, sprockets, fluids, bearings. I rode it for a season and sold it for $4k like I originally intended, BUT DAMN these DRZ's are so fricken good. I almost kept it and made it my only bike. If it wasnt so top heavy and clumsy offroad I could deal with sprocket changes often to deal with the trans.

Would that tire combo fit on a 2021 XT250? Regarding the screenshots you have in the video. If i ordered those exact ones they would fit no issue?

That's a super nice build. You did good on this purchase and buildout. Only thing that stands out is the brake line should be routed on the inside of the fork leg so it doesn't get snagged. Bike looks super good.

Plastic spray paint can at home depot for $10 can switch lime green to black surprisingly well….i do a light scuff sand and spray has held up well for many years on crf

I just picked up the 34 cause i ran out of room and my 5 drawer became electonics lab box. Also, when i bought the 5 drawer i bought 2 swivel wheels at same time so i could have 4 swivel wheels (much easier to do when you buy it and put it together so you dont have to empty it to put new casters on it)

This is your second DRZ400 right? I recall that you had another one before getting the WR250R

👍 great stuff

Just bought one 2005 sane as yours but when taking it out I can hear some clunking in the rear I think it has something to due with axle or rear bearing carrier I dunno paid 900$ it runs good but hearing a clunking noise?

You're wrong about not being able to open the drawers while the lid is closed. Make sure the drawers are open before you close the lid. The lid will go all the way down and the drawers will not lock & you don't have to slide the latch to open them. Before loading it onto a truck just open the lid then push the drawers in 1/2" 👍

You're kind of wrong about the differences between the new and old versions. In the beginning you mentioned the only difference between yours and the new version is the color of the bolts, where your version uses chrome and the new version uses black. You didn't mention that with the new style the sliding drawer unlocking lever is the full length of the drawers instead of one little tab to the far right. Also the new one has a hole with rubber grommet under the lid for power cord access.

Thanks. I live in Wyoming, MN and I'm trying to find places to ride my new KLX 300 off road. I grew up riding in S St Paul in the 70's where bthere were lots of places to explore and ride. Even then they complained about how we were destroying the land. AND then they came in with bulldozers and earth movers to build golf coarses. Oh well? Those posers are now the big bad asses on harleys thinking they're above the people that ride off-road. I see it every day. Sorry to rant . Have fun everyone and I have subscribed. I'm going to hit everyone of these spots you've shown. Thanks for this info I've been askinig about for years.

CamelADV has radiator protectors that should prevent any radiator damage even without crashbars.

Great video….i have had very similar bikes but from drz400, ktm 500exc, 2nd Drz400, Tenere 700, and now Crf450l both supemoto & dirt setup all kitted out but now I really want a wr250r or Crf300l just to do more off road with longer service intervals/ some mini adventures. Drz are great for cheap but outdated, tenere was to big for my skills off road, ktm & Crf450l great race bikes but service intervals suck, hoping the legendary wr250r or a new Crf300l is perfect blend with some suspension work. Great videos “ subscribed

Picked up my 2003 DRZ-S for $2300 back in December

There's a 400SM near me going for $1200 Canadian, I'm seriously considering it. Even if it needs a full rebuild it would still be less than half the average price around here.

Excellent information and straight to the point. You video with constant panning made me nauseous however.

Doesn't surprise me to say the least, you love your DRZ-400. If you can offer an advice to a fellow tall ogre as an experienced rider. I've been seriously thinking about a kawasaki vulcan S, trying out a chopper, mostly since we're the same height I'm afraid about the pressure on lumbar spine and general comfort. Can you offer any input based on your experience? Safe riding bro.

Hey man, you gotta do whatcha gotta do.

Congratulations! Get a set of dirt bike wheels to swap and it will almost be like having 2 different bikes. I wonder how this, with dirt bike tires, compares with the dual sport model. Hopefully you'll be able to let us know. Good thing about a DRZ is no matter how old it gets, you can always make it look just like a brand new one! That's a clean looking 18 year old bike.

Great stuff! Always keen on a build series 😁🙏

I'm glad you have a bike. You got a great deal. Please share your mods

I've got a Rav4 Hybrid with a hitch rack. Drove that rig from NC to CA and back for $500 to go race at Glen Helen. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that using my truck to haul bikes is silly. Looks a lot cooler, sure, but I can literally go ride more if I can spend less on just getting there.

This video was helpful! Thanks!!

wonderful video thank you

Holy Cow you’re a Big Boy ! I think the Kawasaki KLX300R is better than both these 2 bikes now thoughts ? 🤔

So how much $$ did you sell it for?

please wear gear, it's unacceptable to not even be wearing gloves

Great reflexes, great bike!

Hold up it ain’t a bad sound, not at all

I scratched up my side panels after crashing several times without crash bars. Since then I got crash bars and in a few ridiculous drops on pavement from a parked position it saved the bike especially the bark busters.

Awesome brother. I am same height and weight as you :)

I just got a used CRF450RL with only 114 miles. Putting on the GET sx1. Also putting on the Steahley flywheel weight. Do you feel this bike needs the throttle tamer even with the GET and a flywheel weight? I’ve heard different opinions on this.

I have crashbars from Outback Motorteck. They have saved me a LOT fo Money in plastics in cause I was a newby to off-roading (yes, I didn't plan on doing off-road trails on it, but I fell in love with the T7 and I want to ride it everywhere!) nut I'll say that now that I have a bit more experience (and I have the R-Tech PP plastics) I have now removed the upper section of the crashbars and boy did I feel a difference! I can't imagine how much lighter it'll feel when I remove the lowers that are about 2/3 the total weight! I will remove the lowers as soon as I feels confident about my riding 😅 I have now the R&G engine covers cause the crashbars didn't save my clutch cover from being pounded by a rock on a low speed tip over her the T7 landed on a higher rock that managed to poque through... My thoughts on everything are to ask the people with experience but don't take their word as gospel! Have them explain properly why they say you should get something for your bike. This being said, a lot of our confidence in riding comes from being at ease and okay with crashing and dropping the bike. For me, I can say with 100 % certainty that I would have felt heart stoppingly nervous when I started out cause it was the first bike I bought and using my own money, but now it's been almost 2 years and I love my T7 more than anything, but I don't like the way the crashbars look on the bike. It's a beautiful and slim bike and I want to see it more than feeling she'll be safer :) Also the Outback crashbars weigh 5.5 kg! The bike is heavy enough :D Do what makes your experience more comfortable and enjoyable!

6'5 here. I feel very comfortible on my CRF250L with bar and seat risers. I think T7 is best choice for our height. I dont like long truck-like bikes.

Why not the WR 450.

Ok just came back to this. Bought the updated version of this one today. It's on sale tomorrow for $190 for the deal of the day. Wanted red so I picked it up and will have them price match tomorrow. My tool collection is pretty small. Just 1/2 and 1/4 ratchet set, metric wrenches, breaker bars, corded drill, screwdrivers, other odds and ends. I suspect this toolbox will last me the rest of my life. Definitely be nice to have everything locked up. Not that my stuff is worth anything except my DeWalt, but it will prevent things from walking away.

I luv your content, just put the Get from taco Mike in tonight, did you leave the lid on the air box or go topless? I was hoping to talk with Mike but haven’t been able to speak with anyone, they must be busy right now , also did you add the graves plate they talk about? Braaap, keep that content flowing, loving it

Looks like his first time on a motorcycle lol

Im struggling a lot with my 08 WR in tight single track technical trails. Holding balance is tricky and when it starts to tip over, recovery is close to impossible. All this time I thought it just had to do with its sheer weight…. But after watching this video, I’m also having an “ah ha” moment. I ordered a 13/50 sprocket setup from Rocky Mountain. Hoping this can help out more and not require me to slip the clutch as much. To be continued.zz

Thanks for this comparison! Very detailed. I was considering the 42” Roll Cab as well, but I think the 34” fits the bill even better. My garage space is limited as well. I really need to sell some things lol
