Good list! It's also worth noting that opening up the air box when installing the JD jet kit will really make the bike come alive (3x3 mod) - Yeah, I know mods aren't the same as accessories, but just throwing that out there. A bike set up for adventure touring also needs case savers, and a USB plug, in my opinion.
so the S model uses the mikuni bsr36 carb and the E model uses the keihin fcr39 carb. Except! the California E model also uses the mikuni carb, which is important to know when ordering jet kits and carb parts or throttle cables. and the luggage rack will only work for the S model but the green chili adventure gear hardcore rack is a good alternative for the E model.
I’m considering a dual sport for riding from Alaska to Argentina and back.... do you think the DRZ would be good for that considering all the off-road fun that can be had in central and South America?
Good video and I love you guys but your web site needs updated. The IMS tank only shows available through 2004 on this bike. The IMS site shows the same tank works through 2016
All this stuff you must do to make it good is a royal pain in the butt that the MFG should have done. It’s sad that’s why I didn’t buy new bikes. Your much better off buying a good used bike. Thanks 👍🇨🇦
I am building and ADV bike from the Green DRZ, the KLX400. I have the IMS tank for it as well, would you guys be willing to make me graphics for it? This is my second build in as many years and I have used RM for a ton of parts, you guys rock! I am also trying out the second gen of the battle born gear this year... Looking like the Arkansas 500 is where I'll be testing out the KLX and the gear... Anyways, let me know if we can make something work for some tank graphics for the IMS 4 gallon...
You forgot one very important thing on that windscreen. A post-it note saying you want to trade it for a DR650! :-) Just messing with ya. Solid upgrades.
Do you guys have the DR-Z kickstart kit? Most of your competitors have the kits (all suzuki OEM parts) available. I was putting together an order and was surfing around your site and couldn't find it. The electrical system doesn't have a lot of reserve so putting in the kicker is a nice safety if you've got to get that thing started again after flooding it on it's side. (Been there...done that...sigh...)

My dr650 had both electric anf kick start.(1991) suzuki later took it away and put on a weenie gas tank. The original had something like a 4 1/2 + (us) gallon tank stock. With the kick start it was a breeze to start. I always thought the electric start was essential when its hot in the desert/fatigue/ or weak battery. So the same for the 400.
the drz 400 is a money pit basically you just spend as much money as you spend while buying it just buy the klr650 much more comfortable comes with sidebags the adventure model windscreen 6 galon tank and much more comfortable on the highway
I have a DRZ 400 e with same tank. Can you inform me where can I buy decals for large gas tank? same model as in video. Thank you. I didnt find it in the rocky mountain web site, if is there, please send the link. Many thanks.
Hi *PAULO AFONSO.* We do sell the tank decals, however we did change the graphic design. Give these a look! Thanks for watching. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/3323/74280/Attack-Graphics-Traverse-Radiator-Shroud-Decals
We had the Cee Bailey's windshield on this bike but unfortunately Cee Bailey's stopped making motorcycle products so they are a bit hard to come by now.
Not very good for short people. My kids hate it (16-36 years old) but most of them are 5'.7" to 6'. I love it, but I am 6'3" and have long ass chicken legs at nearly 60. The suspension is great at adjustment and as I still like to ride hard (for my age, not like in my teens/20's). I have mine set with a 39" seat with the suspension set like a swayback mare (soft down/moderate rebound) and growing up on everything from DRT to XT500's, I can still be fairly aggressive and ride for 6-12 hours in the dirt without killing my back. I opted out of the 650 as I sometimes take off with friends from Boise to central Oregon on the dirt, and the fuel economy is much better. Also, if you dump a DRZ400 in a snow drift, it's hard enough to pick up, the 650 is a little harder.

Great video! Would really love to see a complete DRZ400 build video for suspension, protection, power mods, the whole 9 yards!
I buy most of my stuff from you guys. Y'all have quality stuff that ships fast at a competitive price. Thank you!
That is awesome to hear! Thanks for shopping with us. ~Vinny

What was the windshield used on the DRZ? Been thinking of adding one to mine and I like the look of this one. Thanks.

Misfit Gypsy anybody every figure this out?
Following...

i HAD to gret a seat concepts LOW seat, i simply couldnt touch with the stock seat lol.

Okay. So, what does all those extras cost on top of the bikes price?
You're looking in the $1200ish range for all these add ons. Not cheap
Did you notice a difference in handling when tank was half full? I figure the center of mass would feel lower, like a KTM

Ha ha..same on dr650 a postit note for going to the 400.

We do!

I doubt they're still available but does anyone know the model of hand guards? or something similar?
These are the Tusk D-Flex Pro handguards. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-d-flex-pro-handguards-p

WheeliePete what's the benefit to having kickstart kit? Is it just in case the battery start fails?

What did you mount the lights too?
What gearing you normally use on a drz for adventure touring?
I stuck with the stock gearing.
the drz 400 is a money pit basically you just spend as much money as you spend while buying it just buy the klr650 much more comfortable comes with sidebags the adventure model windscreen 6 galon tank and much more comfortable on the highway
Hard to ride 200 miles on a saw horse for a seat. Jd jet kit ain’t all that great either.
What's the cruise speed for this bike?
What is the screen you are using?
This is a Cee Bailey's windscreen that is no longer made.
I have a DRZ 400 e with same tank. Can you inform me where can I buy decals for large gas tank? same model as in video. Thank you.

that's one decked out drz400
Thanks again! *Vinny*

I thought the guy in the other video with this same bike owned it and added all this to it
for that type of rippin id say dr650
What's the damn windscreen?
