If you aren't looking for max speed, would recommend swapping the K&N for a stock one, those aftermarket filters have shown to let in way more dirt than you'd want. There's a guy here on UA-cam (Patrick's cycleshop) showing what the pistons look like on the intake side after years of use, scratches all over etc. Such a clean bike might as well preserve it. Peace
hey mate, unrelated to this vid but what grips you use on your DRZ? Are they good for long rides? i just put some cheap ones on got back from a three hour ride and my hands are numb. Looks like you use the protaper pillow tops, i know they good for off road but cant find a review for on road grips anywhere.
Yes sir you are right! Pro taper pillow tops! My hands get numb a little sometimes also. But they do on anything i ride. I love the grips. I would recommend. Thanks for watching!

I’ll check that out for sure! Thank you!
Hey Link keep it up I love these vids. I think I might have to get me a gsxr for my next bike. Used to have a DRZ400SM like you but sold it.
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching! Many more vids to come. This K5 is going to be slick when it’s done!
Good series. Came back from a ride on my Gixxer 750 and saw that this video had dropped. Perfect timing. Do you plan on keeping this bike long term?
Time will tell. Not really sure at this point. It’s a possibility. Thanks for watching!
nice Link!!!
Thanks brother!
Lmao that center screw on the airbox is a pia sometimes
Hell yea it is! 🤣
this spark tester was great. after i replace spark plugs my bike run like sh...so, how to trust new spark plug?
I'm exhausted, jus watching!
Was that Blue connection at the side of the airbox a sensor?
Yes it was.
