Great commuter with some longer road potential hampered only by the lack of a 6th gear and a rather small tank. 434 Cylinder Works BB kit and 39mm FCR carb helps bring the motor up to a very composed 80 mph cruising speed quickly and will sit there as long as your tank or your butt lasts. 320mm Brembo disc and calliper up front will bring it to a halt at G's exceeding what your stomach can hold in. -

Just purchased "new" 2017 Suzuki DRZ400S a couple months ago. I have done some minor Modifications to it and will record the modifications done in the future. I am now learning how to Update in Thumper Talk and hope to contribute more as I get used to this bike. I love it so far. -

Combo pack includes both the clutch and ignition side case sheilds. The stock magnesium DRZ/KLX/LTZ400 engine cases are both thin and brittle. As a result, they are very vulnerable to damage (cracks & impact punctures) from the bike's shift/brake lever and rocks when the bike falls (see More Photos Tab). Save your yourself the cost of replacing expensive OEM engine cases and a ruined day riding/racing by installing a set of Thumpertalk Case Shields / Case Saver!!! -Laser cut from strong .062" 5052 alloy and die formed to fit cases perfectly -Machined bevelled edge for snag-free performance -Compatiable with all skidplates and does not affect disassembly -Easily polished to keep engine cases looking good NOTE: Ignition side does not fit the DRZ400 Kicker model. This is because the case is shaped differently in the absense of the electric starter. Also, case shield/case saver held in place by RTV silicon adhesive (not included). This item is to protect your existing engine cases. They are NOT completely new engine cases. -

New US spec TT edge tail light bracket installed (pics)
DougBurgoyne posted a topic in DRZ400/E/S/SM
Got this in a few days ago, and promised on another thread on this topic I would report back with thoughts on this new TT bracket when installing, along with some images. Here goes... First impression: Light, stealth, tough, well made, good value. Fit: Perfect. comes with the stainless screws as shown in the zip lock bag along with the two spacers needed to fill the gap between bottom of bracket and top of mount point. Screw holes in spot on location, no drill or dremel needed to come out of the tool box! Put a little blue loctite on the screws to keep them from rattling loose over time, as I didn't want to over-tighten with the nylon type spacers being sandwiched in there. Gave them a good tighten with large screwdriver and it felt very solid. Tail light had two flat washers and two lock washers with threaded posts coming from back. Again, didn't want to over tighten or rattle loose, so added a dab of loctite blue there too. License plate holes are perfect for my Oregon plate, and the integrated bracket looks clean and tough. I know that is the reason the Chinese bracket has been a pain here in the US, and this reason alone makes it worth it. I should point out I didn't buy the light and bracket together. I bought the light previously, it's the DRC edge LED, and been sitting in the packaging until I felt like fabricating a bracket myself (then I got the "new item" email from TT announcing this bracket). Wiring: Edge tail light comes with a yellow, red, black wire. I simply cut off the plug from the old tail light, stripped half an inch from them and soldered them to the edge wires using the twist/solder/fold/shrink-wrap method (and then used larger shrink wrap to bind all three smaller shrinks together). Somehow I managed to pop my fuse while testing things, but thankfully the spare was there and ready for service! The blinker mounts worked like a charm, and the placement gives a nice compact light cluster in back. Small standard bulb turn indicators is what I used, and all 4 match. Again, just a bit of blue loctite on the blinker posts to keep them from loosening. In retrospect, should have threaded a lock washer on the wires before the nut and wires soldered...but they didn't come with the blinkers and I didn't think about it until I was done. Easy enough to tighten periodically if needed. Below are some pics of product, install, and finished. The last pic has nothing to do with this job, just my new Zeta billet heel guard that I just put on and thought was pretty trick (compared to the oem one anyway). Hope this helps anybody thinking about upgrading to the new USA spec bracket. I highly recommend!- 6 replies

Save yourself thousands in costly repairs! The ThumperTalk Manual Cam Chain Tensioner (MCCT) is designed to replace the automatic and hydraulic tensioners found on today's hi-performance 4-stroke engines. Factory automatic adjusters can back out when the throttle is suddenly closed at higher rpms. This allows the cams to momentarily go out of time and can result in bent valves and/or serious engine damage! Hydraulic tensioners have a tendency to put too much tension on the chain guide under high rpm/high oil pressure conditions, resulting in premature cam chain wear. Installation of a ThumperTalk Manual Cam Chain Tensioner will allow you to maintain the proper, constant cam chain tension necessary for reliable hi-performance riding and it will not backout. This is a high quality product, proudly made in the USA. There are thousands of these units in service, so buy in confidence! Precision machined billet aluminum body Oring seals, both on the body and threads Stainless steel adjuster bolt & locknut Clear anodized body for long lasting good looks -
I've seen a thread or two but can't find them available for purchase. I feel like the bike is running because of this site and want to represent. If they aren't for sale anymore any one have some sitting around that I could buy from you?

Great bike, terrible seat on the street. Had a long time, have done many things to it. Very capable off-road with suspension dialed in, FCR-39 carb, modified air box, and good tires. Before you do anything, install a skid plate and side cover protectors. Without this, a minor fall will crack the magneto cover and is very annoying/expensive. Needs a sixth gear. -
