@@linksgarage1985 you have an awesome energy, sense of humour. 100% match for me!) I hope I won't die at the front till the summer, dreaming of riding again :)
I have a 2020 DRZ 400Sm & I also got mine in March! I'm glad I ran across your page, you seem really down to earth. I live in southern IN so your roads look almost identical to mine. Also, I felt your pain riding in sweatpants. I'm a car salesman so i wear my dress clothes all the time and i feel so weird riding a SM with basically a suit on lol. Love the mods you've done so far, a few i have done already and a few i will steal from you and use your install video's. Much love brother keep up the content
Cool ride! Literally! Haha, I experienced that just the other day. T-shirt, sweatpants.. bandana. Brrrr! Haha, I rode into town and mailed some bills, hit the station for gas and the sun comes out, I had to sit there for a while and get warm! 😆. Now, it's long johns and three layers on top, ... and helmet. Mines still completely stock.. other than the removal of the Spark arrestor.. I hit 90 mph and still had 1/4 throttle left... Level freeway stretch. Got 1500 miles on it, bought it in May of this year. Man, you got some Sweet back roads! 💥💨
Appreciate the video man! I enjoy your humour quite a bit. I’m currently selling my KLR to acquire a DRZ400SM. Looking forward to losing it similarly to yours. Ride safe. New sub.
Okay, so I left you a comment yesterday. And today RUclips recommended this video and I had to subscribe. ≤I love pink motorcycles because I love having too much fun.≥ This one is golden🤣
Kind of expensive but the "dragy" sensor is a cool gimmick for finding out your numbers and time. Nice to find out the actual numbers of this classic modern beast.
The clutch side is a breeze. The throttle side is an absolute bitch. It’s literally glued / fused to the throttle tube. Trust me. You’re not sliding it off. What I did, is cut it off with a razor. And I had to basically shave it down little by little until the new grip would fit. What I would do knowing what I know now, is just buy another throttle tube (cheap). And replace it and not even spend an hour cutting it off. Good luck. And thank you for watching!
@@linksgarage1985 thanks for the response brother. Yes I’ll do that very thing order another throttle tube right now. thanks for that info! Ride safe 🤙🏾
Stock gearing and stock size tires. 120/70/17 front. Filming this, a 140/70/17 rear. Now a 150/60/17 rear. It’ll go faster now. Upgraded the exhaust. And it rips.
Nice run! I don’t like riding mine over 65. I’m tall, so my torso is just too much of a big sail at higher speeds. Did you keep the stock handlebar but add bar risers? ….
Hey out the door for a new 2023 drz 400sm what would u say the cost is here in FL? Also great videos u got a new sub. Also I hear something about carburetors or something about these bikes and it's stopping me from buying what's your opinion idk anything about them or if it's a simple quick fix every few years? Is it worth not getting the bike I'm new to SM. I used to be Supersport bike lol
Man, I just made a video called can you daily a Supermoto. Check it out. Do not be afraid of a carb. Bikes have had them for over 100 years. And it’s purely mechanical and no electrical, or programming or computer crap to worry about. Do some research, the DRZ is a tried and true classic. Damn near bullet proof. I used to live in Daytona! I’d say new one is $7599 plus tax. That’s just a guess tho. Good luck! And thanks for the sub!
@Link’s Garage no worries keep the content up and I will check the video out! I won't be worried then if it can last me 8 years plus or even more I'd be happy super sport bike are cool but u can't go off road and I wanna explore here down south off road lol. God bless you sir thanks again! :)
@@apb7033 I think I was running 14/42. I also have 3x3 mod, jd jet kit and a yoshimura offroad full system. So that might be helping me out a bit on top end, but it absolutely chugs gas at those speeds.
My DRZ will indicate 110, so like 105 actual? I have an FCR, full Yoshi dual exhaust, pod air filter, and a 38t rear sprocket. I was completely tucked and it took a while to get to 110. I weigh a little over 200 lbs.
@@DanielGoller Yes the airbox is removed. Not sure about the jetting, I bought the bike from a guy who set it up. It for sure is on the rich side. The pod filter comes directly off the carb. The pod filter is a UNI 2 inch diameter.
The best motorcycle content after 2008, after ds83 and nickgnaime and early stage of JakeTheGardensnake

@@imrelentless97 been the same bike since 2005. Literally the same except graphics.
I just paid $7100 out the door for my ‘24 in Florida. You can find some 23’s still on the floor for $6k or just over
Motohunt is where I found mine after searching cycle trader
Hold on, have you done nitrous on the drz? Ima go digging for vids now brb
Nope. No nitrous
what else can you do engine modifications ??
Options are limitless.
now check the differences on 89 fuel and what a great one tip for next movie ;)
I geared mine down quite a bit, but it'll do ~87mph. The way this bike feels at that speed tho? I'm fine with never seeing triple digits on it. haha
Yea. I understand that! Thanks for watching!
What did you gear it down to?
@@apb7033 I think I was running 14/42. I also have 3x3 mod, jd jet kit and a yoshimura offroad full system. So that might be helping me out a bit on top end, but it absolutely chugs gas at those speeds.
Ok. Thanks
Are your wheelies all in first gear
None of them are in 1st gear
@linksgarage1985 i Don't think.mine will do that in 2nd

Hell yea! All the mods! I’m a little over 200 also. Just a jet kit, a pipe and a airbox mod. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Pod air filter with airbox removed? What jetting on that fcr?
Also what filter? What length between carb and filter? (If any)
@@DanielGoller Yes the airbox is removed. Not sure about the jetting, I bought the bike from a guy who set it up. It for sure is on the rich side. The pod filter comes directly off the carb. The pod filter is a UNI 2 inch diameter.

Thank you! 💪🏼
144kph on knobby tires is the fastest I’ve been on my 400s.
That’s fast!!!!
You still ride this bike?
Yep
I've been 93mph on my drz400sm (2020)
Hell yea
I did 102 on my 23 drz400sm after exhaust, jet kit ,3x3 mod,wouldn't go any faster
Hell yea
Um, my DRZ SM speedo read 10% higher than actual speed. Try GPS app on your phone.
GPS on phone is accurate to mine.
haha mexico, good one amigo , tequila on me
Does premium seem to make a difference?
If I run regular for a week, and swap, I swear I can tell a difference!
@@linksgarage1985 I’ll try it and see.
