Drz 400s

[Tucker9]

Hey everyone I'm new on here just wanted to ask a few questions I just got a 15drz400s I've done a few things 

[Tucker9]

So I've done the 3x3 jd jet kit slip on /custom pipe hand guards rmz front fender clutch and break levers mirrors and runs signals r on the way I was lookin to get a lil more low end grung should I put a 14 t front sprocket on or will I lose a lot of my top end speed I'm 280 and I get about 85-90 out of it now not at revlimiter but it seams like if needs a lil more ass to get to it

It will help on the bottom but you will lose on the top end.The big restriction in a drz is the head pipe,a slip on is mostly for sound.A well designed full system like the MRD Z-Pro will yield better results.Also,if you want more power everywhere consider getting the TT Keihin 39FCR-MX conversion kit as well as the JDS010 jet kit and  their extended fuel screw.It will be a very complimentary upgrade with the exhaust mentioned and will allow you to get the most out of what you have,will get you an extra 5-7hp.

Thanks for the reply I'm ganna go that route someday lol well the next time I have $1200 kicking around

If you have around $160 an intake cam will wake it up.

 

A 14 tooth will help. If you're not cruising the highway it should be fine.

They are also relatively cheap so if you don't like it or have a long ride coming up, you can change back easily.

I've done some motor work a while ago is it a pain to do

[HansLanda]

Adding a cam? It's fairly easy. Just drop it in, check valve clearances, and change oil. Then break it in for a bit, and check clearances and change oil again. At least that's what Hotcams require.

My bike would only turn about 8,600 with the stock cams. That was after the carb, exhaust mods.

I know where someone could get a deal on an E intake cam.
