new to this site! i have an 05 400sm. i put the white bros slip on setup on the bike and hate it. i ordered a jet kit for it to maybe get more power from it. i know nothing about these bikes. i want to get more power out of the bike, my buddies ktm 640 walks away from it at all speeds. Any other mods i can do to unleash some hidden power?

Welcome to the site. You need the FCR39 carb among other things. Do a search and you will find enough power mods to fill a couple decent sized credit cards for sure. Have fun.

Figure out how much power you want... then dig out the wallet.

For starters, the header pipe on the S is pathetically small... the slip on was not the best choice for increased power.

Just little fyi before you get the sticker shock.

FCR = nearly 500

Big Bore and stroker kit = 1000

Cams 300'ish

That ought to give you some ballparks for what it takes to get real HP out these.

thanks for the info! where should i buy this carb from?

The TT Store sells the kit which has everything you need to swap. Unfortunately, the last I knew they are on backorder.

Look at the top for a sticky that has 'popular DRZ parts in the store'... its a great way to rack up the credit card.

I've been browsing this site for a while, even made a few posts so I may be out of line here but....

Why does everyone sound surprised that a stock 400 cc motorcycle gets walked away from by a stock 640cc motorcycle.....?

Note I said stock, not modified, I have a klx400 and I love that bike but I will never be surprised if a bike 150cc larger leaves in its wake.

Just rambling thanks......

im not supprised, but thinking of selling the drz and getting 1 instead.

My bro has the Husky TE510... its fast as heck and blows my DRZ away in ever facet of riding... EXCEPT comfort. The thing shakes like a pool full of jello with coeds wrestling in it. [you can't let it idle on the kickstand in the garage... it will literally 'walk' across the garage] The seat sucks. The thing is about 4 inches taller than my DRZ.

Not to mention you have to remove all the emissions and he still doesn't have it jetted quite right.

Everything is a trade off... for me the comfort alone is worth having to dump a couple of grand into my DRZ to make it run better.
