    Hey Josh, another great video mate.
    In Australia, we go to school and learn English language. The Americans are guilty of bastardising the English language and say the last letter in the alphabet as "Zee". In Australia we use "Zed".
    I am thinking you watched a little too much Sesame Street and not enough Playschool.
    You ride a DR-Zed. The Apprentice Adventurer will agree.
    "Today's lesson was brought to you by the letter Zee"

      But X Y Zee sounds good to me 😂

    Been really getting into your videos recently mate, top tier content anf production always leaving you wanting more.
    Fellow DRZ400E rider here from the UK but had bad luck on top of bad luck with mine sunc buying it a few years ago including electrical gremlins, countershaft oil seals blowing and now the con rod bearing giving up requiing an engine rebuild, Ive gone for a CylinderWorks 434 big bore kit and half way through through the rebuild, these videos are giving me the strength to push on.
    Keep these vids coming boys, I'll never tire of hearing two DRZ's rumbling away together

    You should be extremely careful when riding your motorcycle in the creek, you could run over a trout and fishtail. In the scale of things you could fisheye while listening to Vince Gill!!
    Just a thought!
    Have a great ride!

    When crossing deep water with carby you must block breathing hoses going down and if they haven't got a T going up as well put one in. The carby breathers on the side must be open to the atmosphere or the bike does not run well . The one on the bottom is the carby over flow,if not blocked water can go up in to the bowl.

    • @_JoshJB_
      @_JoshJB_  11 місяців тому +2

      Thanks mate. We have both re routed carby hoses. 2 ran up above the air box and the other two to the underside of the bike. If left in the stock position the bikes wouldn’t even make it across these crossings before giving up 😂
