  • Having owned about 60 DRZ400sm we've got a pretty good idea of the best lowcost mods and set up tips. Here's our suggestion on how to transfom a drz for around $300.
    We've also have a new format! Every week we're going to have a quick riding tip, followed by footage of our students and regulars. Thanks for having us and hope to see you at the track!

    So, not an annodized master cylinder cover and stickers? I don't understand.

    False. The most important mod is a slip on exhaust. That way even if you’re slow, at least you sound fast

    Try raising the fork tubes up a little bit to compensate for the slower steering with the taller tire. I know there isn't much room before the forks hit the handlebars, but give it a try

      Playing with fork height is always a cheap awesome option for bike set up. Great reminder!

    curious if there is a rear shock setting for drz you prefer after changing the front fork settings. because the rear is as soft as the front from factory and usually sags over 100mm for alot of riders

    • @socalsupermoto
      @socalsupermoto  2 роки тому +2

      I honestly don't pay attention to sag, I just play with clickers until it's in the ballpark and go ride!

      on my sm dizzer I got a shock spring right for my weight (220) and it made all the difference. small price for a huge change.

    What's the best power mods? Also gearing to get front end up

    • @socalsupermoto
      @socalsupermoto  Місяць тому +1

      best power mod is learning how to ride and get on the gas quickly. Best gearing for getting the front end up is learning how to ride. Power mods are last on the list after ergonomics mods, brake mods, suspension set up, learning how to ride, trackdays, THEN power mods. Most people are slower after power mods while feeling like they are faster

    Are we maxing out both compression settings on the front forks or just the larger adjuster

    I bought a 2022 and don’t plan on tracking it often, I already have the rubber killers installed, is maxing the compression and dampening mainly for track racing ?

    • @socalsupermoto
      @socalsupermoto  2 роки тому

      Yes, but honestly spin the clickers until you like it. Don't be afraid to experiment with the suspension settings. they can transform the bike!
