Nice choice mate.
You can buy relays at Supercheap or Jaycar. 15 bucks. That will sort your hyperflashing problem.
Don't forget to bypass the side stand switches, clutch switch. Have a look at the sprocket seal retention bracket. (Can be bought from Suzuki)
If you are game you can look into modifying the carb for more pep when snapping the throttle open. Pretty easy going just adjust the accelerator pump.
Don't forget to Loctite tour stator bolts!
Advice from a bloke with a 2006 drz with 35,000km.
Cheers!
Best channel on UA-cam keep up the hard work you do mark bloody ledgend 👍👌💯
Hey. Jump onto hardy parts. For all your DR and DRZ parts. Front sprocket/case saver cover. And also a headlight protector. Aussie designed and made here in gympie QLD.
When you have the tank off it’s a good opportunity to run a second spare clutch cable. Cheap insurance. Also an led headlight bulb can save power to run other accessories. I believe the safari tank comes with a petcock because the stock one is prone to failure, like mine did. When I put the lower Seat Concepts seat on I needed to lower the pegs and used David Knight lower wider pegs.
Your garage is a great asset for you and your mates .Good to see you and Chappie working together. like this .Brilliant .
I had one of these a few years back but sold it for a supersport (sadface). Recently got back into dirt and decided on a DR650 and loving it but watching this makes me miss the DRZ soooooo much. It's a true do it all end of days weapon of a bike and anyone who has this bike on their shortlist, buy it!....buy it now! Unless you're at a 450cc pro racer skill level you will never out ride this bike!
Excellent! More of this. Nice bike Chappy
Yellow rocks.. 👍💛💯Suzie.. Lifetime machine
Your existing blinkers (bulb) draw more load and the standard blinker relay is expecting to see that load as it sets the flash rate.
Two ways around it....swap out your blinker relay for an LED compatible one (the better method)
Second is to fit load resisters ,one each side to simulate the load of the existing filament lamps,not as good but it works and there are thousands of bikes out there with them.
Rizoma at one time used this method,they still may,Oxford products sell kits but they are just wire wound ceramic coted resistors in a heat shrink sleeve with short wires and bullet connectors....
When going from a 21 watt incandescent turn signal to an LED turn signal, select the 18W / 8.5Ohm resistor
When going from a 10 watt incandescent turn signal to an LED turn signal, select the 8W / 21.5Ohm resistor
Sold as a pair normally and one per side is all thats required.
Hello Mark and Chappy; Congratulations on the new Bike...this is going to be an exciting project. Keep safe Bonus Video which makes me and in fact all of us who follow you...HAPPY!
Great, gonna enjoy this! 😀
Good stuff Mark and Chappy. Will be good to see the future mods you’s do to the bike. This has made me want a drz 400 now! haha 👍🏼
DRZ400E is best trail bike period.
Wish Honda still made their XR400 as it was a great bike too
Love this channel..you guys rule
Garage door paint job looking good. Nice backdrop.
Lovin this build, makes me want to get one and do the same mods. Great stuff guys👍
Ole Chappy is a man of few words... "Yep". But he's a heck of a good rider! I guess he talks with his skills.👍
This DRZ 400 is going to morph into a real riding machine. You Ausies have it going on!
~FUN VIDEO!~
Welcome to the friendliest bunch of riders...I miss my DRZ...
Easy way to undo or tighten front sprocket nut is to simply stand on the other side of the bike and put your foot on the brake pedal while leaning over and undoing the nut.
Bloody good video mate really enjoyed watching it👍🏻👍🏻
At least you got one thing positive from 2020....😉👍
Love the Drz 😎👊
Just like to say your shed is like a studio For bikes and camping and other bits and pieces
Locktight all hard parts, always. Especially on a thumper.
Nice. Great bikes. Look forward to seeing more. Got an old 2000 drz400 myself. She's very battered and bruised but I love her. Bought from a mate about five years ago. He'd had her from new. He was moving back to the UK and the bike was going to cost way more to get it all legal and road worthy than it was worth. He let me have her for 600€.The best 600€ I've ever spent!! Luckily(for the time being anyway🙄) we don't have obligatory "road worthy" tests for motorcycles here in France. I live in the foothills on the Mediterranean tail end of the Pyrenees and rarely need to use her on proper roads to get up into the hills.
Hope Chappy gets as much joy and pleasure from his as I have from mine. Cheers
Great stuff, I am the same , keep putting my tools away to stop tripping over them. Best be safe.
Chris from redcar uk.
awesome video lad!
Makes me want to buy a DRZ again, would love to do the Simpson Desert.
I’ve done this a few times to my bikes - quite fun it’s like strippin em down to the knickers 👍
Hi guys great vid, just a little advice for Chappy to torque up the front sprocket and also put the bloody locktite on the end of the threads not half way down the bolt 😂😂😂
Looks the same as mine...which is a 2001 model! Good choice!!
I modded mine a fair bit, one of the essentials is the muffler, that stock is way too restrictive and way too loud when uncorked. The Barrett is fantastic, straight through but not loud. Really let’s it breathe. Stainless steel packing means it doesn’t need repacking. 15/44 is the best gearing, but mine is bored/stroked to 472cc so handles the gearing better.
Quick tip. As a rule of thumb, metric bikes use 10, 13, 17 & 19mm fixings. That's it. You'd be hard pressed to find any other sizes unless somebody has put aftermarket parts on. Those sizes are the only size spanners I carry on the bike for the odd roadside repair.
Old Hondas use 14mm not 13mm, don't know about newer bikes.
You're gonna need an 8mm as well.
Nice bike
Top vids mate think I need to get a DRZ
Gee Chappy is trusting leaving the bike with ya lol 😂
Mark your channel is rocking with 👍🏼 top shelf content. That bikes looking sweet and ready for all kinds of bullshi....., adventure. “Keep on Recording, and if Ya ain’t Recording, Keep On Keeping On”. 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
Yesssss
Mx store have plug and play resistors to slow those indicators down i think they are about 15 bucks for a set of 2 you will need 2 sets cheers . Keep up the great work Mark
To fix the hyper flashing swap the flasher to one that is LED compatible. Easy to do...take off the headlight shroud and it on the left hand side...also y’all should add a kick start...an OEM kit from eBay in the states is about $190 US...pretty easy to do...takes about an hour or three beers 😁
That's awesome, great bike and love these types of videos!
Nice work Chaps, but a do feel you should have torqued the front Sprocket nut to Spec.
DR-z Series started. Happy days!!!!!
Get an adjustable flasher can to replace the OEM flasher can. It can adjust the flash rate for the blinkers to compensate for different current draw.
This is a really good project Mark.I have been going around in circles trying to decide which mid adventure bike I'm going to buy around Xmas time when hopefully things open up.I had narrowed it down to the CB500X but they need work therefore money spent to bring up to scratch.Like the KTM390 but too much electronics.Being around 5'9" need to be able to get feet down.This Suzie build has convinced me I can do a bit to it,like pack rack,run the 15/44 for highway etc and get the best of both worlds.Can you fit a centre stand to the Suzie,could live without but prefer the stand,makes puncture repair easier and chain maintenance.
Thanks for letting me know you look at comments 👍
Mark, get yourself an LED flasher relay. Job done. And looks factory
Love the DRZ’s, have had 2 of them in the past. When you chopped the wires on that original tail light, I would have left a little more length in the original wiring so it could be re-used some time in the future.
Oh yeah... That would have been smart! 👍
instead of soldering in resisters for indicators just fit led flasher can.easy
Where do you get the flasher cam from??
@@craigcloss8168 supercheap sell them
@@normanperry9605 dumb question what do i ask for?
Well super cheap auto dont have the 7 pin flasher for led, so its an ebay job, thanks for all input
u need a flasher relay for the led indicators to slow the blink speed down. It needs to be installed just underneath the headlight cover
When the next video, im about to start a drz400e build in the next month , and loving seeing you guys doing one prior to.... keep up the good work love ya vids👍🍻
Hopefully next week! :-)
@@BikerBits cant wait keep em coming
When heat shrinking over all cable joins I use some glued heat shrink from Middys has glue inside it as you heat it it actives glue keeps all dirt out of joins
Also water can't creep in and degrade the wiring.
If ya wrap a bit of white shopping bag plastic around your torch it makes it good for close up filming with no hot spots.
G`Day Mark and Chappy, think you will need to replace the Blinker (Indicators) flasher unit for an LED one, then they should flash at the correct speed, great video guys.
Use the rear brake for undoing the front sprocket.
Still a fantastic video!!
You'll need a new electronic relay switch for if your putting LED's on the DRZ to stop the weird hyper flashing of the signal lights.
Need to fit LED resistors, to slow the flasher rate Mark...get some metal ones online, mount them so they get plenty of air over them, coz they get hot AF, easy to fit too, cheers and loving this new series too mate!
You can also get a adjustable blinker can that does the same thing I will see if I can find the link
Just found that mx store do a plug and play resistor
It needs a load-independent flashing relay
.
Oooh very cool! Another great series to look forward to! When’s the Simpson crossing planned for?
Possibly August! :-)
as said indicators need a relay . as it thinks a bulb it bust so flashes faster . because LED use less power.plus to make road legal it has to flash slow like original. other than that it's looking good. i rode the super-moto version years ago when they first came out.
👍
i wouldn't worry about fast blinkers, draw more attention
Put your foot on the brake to stop the wheel from turning
Thanks for all the videos. Awesome experience. I have 2021 Drz400s and just installed the front sprocket case saver. As for the wire holder. Does it matter if is next to the engine or not? I have the spacer next to the engine. And B&B sent me 1 longer spacer. I am guessing it is for the bottom? Keep up the good work 👍🏼 Ted, Florida, USA
You should get dedicated cameras for your shed so you can end up being a studio
I think these guys are just trying to keep it real in a 'bloke's shed' if ya know what ah meeen.
'Oh f##k you did a good job'🤣🤣 Your surprise that Chappy did a proper job of deleting the kickstand switch, not everyone just twists wires together Mark!🤣🙈
I love these build videos. Did the dealership put on the skid plate and Barkbusters? If so,that is a great idea.
Yeah they did! :-)
sounds like a big shop at B&B
put bike in gear & mark stand on brake
torque wrenches work well @ 90Nm
if not done , drop steering pack the bearing properly

V=IR (Ohms Law)work out what thye blinker load was before and add a resistor (R) the correct size in the circuit. The old bulb will have Watts on it. P (Watts) = V*I.
You need to fit a load resistor for the indicators.
Rear brake holds the back wheel guys
DO NOT use resistors on the indicators, they just waste power by making heat, get an led flasher unit ie a load insensitive one.
Greetings; I have a question; I am 5'4" in the old money, about the same size as Chappy....the seat height on the DRZ400 is bloody high, How does Chappy get on the bike? Has Chappy Lowered the bike? If so how? I am looking for a second bike that I can chuck around some trails in SA...Thanks
When I change front sprocket on my klr650 I cable tie rear brake on
@1:45 it's pronounced "Pro-Tay-Per" Mark, not Pro Tapper...
Other than that, I'm enjoying the build so thank you!
Oops... LOL :-)
@@BikerBits Mark has a language all of his own and that's why we follow him,unique ;-)
Just absorbing some of your language right now....the 'grippy things' I probably have a bunch of those somewhere !
@@oyleyhands1332 . . . . aaaaahh . . he's orstraaaahlian.
I hope you didn't bend the same part of the sprocket lock washer that was previously bent over.
That area has been weakened. You alway need to bend fresh metal.
Bike looking great.
What about the manufacturer's torque recommendations?
I am guessing the globes in the flashers are a lower wattage than the originals, you need a higher wattage to put more load on the flasher can to slow them down.
I think the originals are 5w from memory, but don’t quote me.
Similar effect as when one globe blows the other globe flashes faster.
Loved this series of videos BUT would love a follow up on the trip and we didn't get the loaded bike video.
Trip was cancelled due to Covid
@@BikerBits I keep forgetting about that, That would have been heartbreaking after all the prep done. Is there a plan for it to happen at some stage?
@@WayneSpencer Not sure Chappy is doing a big trip on his Africa Twin!

What’s the name of the rear rack, love the build
What glue guys did you use for the engine cover plates???
You need to apply high strength loctite and torque up the CS sprocket. The locking tab does not hold it on. When the nut comes loose oil will come out of your CS seal. Known DR issue.
Thanks for that! :-)
Any way I can buy a drc 161 mirror set from you I tried your website but it don’t ship to the states and I can’t find them anywhere here thanks
Hi guys have u thought about the r&g detachable indicators you can put them in & out take them out when u reach the trails so they dont get bocken snagged on branches or if u drop the bike as indicators can be very vulnerable . Then just pop them back in for the ride home . They are led & are slick design .
Great idea! :-)
@@BikerBits Hi Mark ordered one of your stickers today awesome just all over that drz bike build . Going to to be cool bananas:) Roland in the uk
@@rolandstaines3249 Good Onya mate! :-)
If only we could get the DRZ over here in the UK,I would have one in a heartbeat,stupid over the top EU regs,and they wont change when we leave.
I probably not telling you guys anything or I missed you mentioning it, but if you fit a 15T sprocket you will need to get the S/Moto sprocket case spacer otherwise the chain will rub...
Nice build guys. Wondering where you got your indicators from or brand? They look like what im after for my Diz.
In the next video I'll have that info! :-)
Soooo I watched the whole next video and you didnt say. Id really like to know where you got them from.
7 pin suzuki led flasher relay will stop the hyperflashing you can find them on ebay for about $20 or $40 at bike shops. they stung you with the covid tax on the price and no cape york kit? surprised he went with the 17l safari instead of the 28l if he's doing the simpson the 28l is only a little bit wider i'm very happy with mine and surprisingly hardly notice it.
Where did you buy all your bits from ?
did chappy pocket that security torq at 34:04 😂😂😂
LOL 😂
Send everything you take off the bike my way I’ll pay for the shipping!!
Any thoughts given to re-springing it to this blokes' weight?
I think chappy is happy with it at the moment! :-)
Put your foot on the rear brake guys.
Put some loctite on the front sprocket nut , they come loose👍
$5 resistors from super cheap will slow the leds down.
how come the capeyork edition has different graphics
Sorry I got ahead of myself watching you video. 😂 I’ll try zip it mate. 🤐
Hello, how are you. watching your videos I ended up buying a drz 400. I need a complete cylinder kit, do you have any to send to Brazil ????
Sorry don't have any or sell them!
If you're changing the seat, could I maybe buy the stock (black?) one off you? Local Vic rider, could pick up.
No sure which way we are doing the seat... New one or reline the existing one!
@@BikerBits If you do go with a complete swap, let me know. :-)
Great work so far!
Why didn’t you hold the rear wheel with the brake when changing the front sprocket 🤔
Should have but Chappy was keen to go straight for the rattle gun! :-)

A great program anyway buddy, really enjoy your channel 👍🏻
