Good video mate reminds me of Fraser island in QLD where I used to ride

Mate it’s a fun fast technical track in a stunning part of tas we’ve done it on bikes quads and Forbees but a midnight ride to pieman and back is the best one I think great vid you guys did well ride safe cheers

I used party in one of those shacks as a teenager 😅. My old man lives down there at Trial harbour. Great video

GO the mighty DRZ 🙃🍺

did that track 6-ish years ago on the DR650 and ended up folded in half with the pig parked on top of me and needed 2 guys to lift it off me 🤣😒 hurt like hell 🤬😁 and i can tell you that the track now is waaay worse now than when i did it 😮 have been wanting to do it again 🤔buuuut maybe i am bizzie 😂🤣 keep well mate 😁🍺

Love your work Dave 🙌🏼 have to queue another ride soon!

gday Dave bloody nice area youre living in there. what part of tassie

I just bought a DRZ 400 E, and about to put the Concepts seat on it 👍 Good review. Cheers mate

thank mate really helpful

Hi Dave.. Where did you get the rear bike holder from..? I like the look of it...

Hey Dave. What model of riding pants do you use..? Do they have the knee pads inbuilt into them..?

Heya Dave. Good videos Mate.. Just a query: What do you find is a good sprocket ratio for front and rear for your DRZ for both dirt tracks and road riding ..? I have a 2022 DRZ and i am interested in your thoughts as i am trying to decide which is the best option to go by to change out the sprockets as the bike revs its guts out on the bitumen on the factory standard sprocket set i have now..... Thanks in advance for any help you can give me please mate. Appreciated for any advice you can throw my way, and keep up the good work on your videos and good content, as its nice to see also what is going on down in the apple isle with off road biking content... Cheers, Matthew T.. QLD dirt bike rider...

nice video mate 😎👌 been up to Mount Barrow once on the DR650 with the ADV boys , and then took the misses up on the back of my f650gs . was fun 2 up 😂 been trying to get away for a long ride for soooo darn long buuuut life (or lack of) keeps getting in the way 😒 keep well mate and ride safe-ish 😉🍺

Hey mate, awesome video, don't suppose you have this track on GPS? I'd be keen to give it a go one day soon

I run 16/38 which allows me to cruise at 75 mph on the highway and it works OK for me off road.

Changing the front will affect the chain length less, but you might want a BnB sprocket cover

My 2023 USA 400S model came with 15/44 stock from factory. It seems like a decent compromise, and the same ratio as your 14/41.

Nice, but unfortunately almost all wrong for the stock M8 low rider... but a good start.

DR-Z400E, supermoto wheels, 16/39 road use only

That’s a great video. I am currently doing up a vintage Carapark here in Perth. I would be interested in knowing if you can get the same type but for the windows. At the moment I have black venetian blinds but now I’m thinking that my ones may just do a lot of shaking and rattling whilst the van is moving..

Dave I like your thinking, where do you purchase the 41 or 42T rear sprockets?

Just found the channel. Enjoy the content and hope you keep making it.

Nice work you two + pup, good video thanks that south coast is a beautiful place

The real trouble with the DRZ, that you can't easily fix, is the close ratio gearbox. Get a WR 450f and get it street legal, it has the wide ratio trans, fuel injection, and weighs substantially less.

Who makes the windscreen you have? I'd like to get on for my DRZ. I'm in the USA.

Thanks for the info, cheers.

I just picked up a used DRZ 400s stock is 15-44 and it works well. It will cruise happily at 65mph (105kph) and runs completely out of steam at 82mph (132kph) but I am a little heavy at 105kg with my gear and I live a little over 1500m.

Hi! Great ride! Could you tell me please, what tire size do you use on your DRZ?

I only ride bush and I'm running a 13/47 still get around 100ks but its screaming, it'll climb a tree though 😄

Great stuff Dave . Excellent rider skills

Brilliant retrofit! Enjoy the rides, lil buddy!

Thanks for the clip. You are the only one who showed how the seat interact with your legs in different position. I was debating to go XL or not, and you convinced my to go XL. Thanks a lot for the great information. Did you changed you peg? I heard the stock one are a pain. I bought a new DRZ few days ago. I want to order the seat right now (hated the stock one in the show room). Other than that, this bike is the BEAST.

Hey mate love the content! What gps app are you using on your phone, i can't seem to find a good one.

Nice video, and love the DRZ content. My DRZ is parked for the winter at present as the temperatures are due to drop to -30F (-34.4C) here in interior Alaska this evening. It will be late April to early May before I will be riding mine.

My DRz is an "s" which has stock gearing of 15/44. Mine is a used 2020 I picked up last month from a dealer, the bike had some mods done to it by the previous owner, one of which was a final drive change to 14/48... This was very low and at speeds over 55mph(88kph) I could feel the bike getting out of its happy zone, plus it made the throttle and engine braking abrupt ... I bumped the front sprocket up to a15t (15/48), its was a nice improvement but after a couple rides both on and off road I felt it still needs to be higher. So, I ordered a 46t rear sprocket, this will put the final drive at 15/46, just a smidge lower than stock which should work out well for the terrain I'll be riding.

Love my 2011 DRZ400S, 36K mi. Jetted-3x3 mod, FMF Power Bomb Header, Delkevic slip- on(No Baffle), LED Bulb/ Headlight, 16T FS, Shinko700 (60/40) Tires, TS- 95mph(No Wobble) still a Beast first gear up the hillsides. Top Rack w/ Saddle bags. We go everywhere all year round in SoCal- Enjoy!! The DRZ Experience, where the Road Ends, we keep going!

Thanks for posting this video. I've ridden this the other direction, but came out via Buckland. I think it is much steeper the way you went. I had a honda cb 125e with trials tires. Your bike sounds really good - did you have to jet it or put a kit in? Also, are you running the original exhaust?

Great video thanks Tassie Dave

Wow nice ride bro ❤

😎🍺

Dave I reckon plenty of people have been thru there in 4 bys before you and old mate - with some of the ruts and made chicken tracks, some good peddling there son not falling into those ruts, couple of pretty dicey ones too! Tell ya what thats a beautiful spot there mate at Mayfield Bay need to get off my ass and get down there always wanted to see Tassie.

Nice ride, how do you find these trails?

😊

I have a Seat Concepts Standard Comfort coming in for my DRz. I'm going to be doing some miles sitting on this bike for sure, I could tell the stock seat isn't going to be good for full days in the saddle. I also tried a Moose Racing tall, gripper seat, a friend had on hand and sold me cheap. The Moose Racing gripper would be great on a DRz meant for mostly off-road but its not anymore comfortable to sit on than the stock seat.

I am running 15-44 on my DRZ and love it 😁 i also have a 14 tooth and 16tooth front sprocket in the shed 😉 if i was doing loooong rides with the boys on gig ADV bikes i will run the 16 and if i was to go out with the guys doing the harder tracks i might put on the 14🤔 but for every day riding i like the 15tooth 🤣👍 oh and i am lucky my one chain will do the lot 😁👌 might go up to the boridale shack tomorrow 🤔didnt get there last time 🫤 keep well Dave 😉🍺

Love the way you ended this one... 👍 Can't wait to finish getting my DRz setup so I can get to exploring, its also winter here in the States which puts a damper on riding for long periods and sometimes riding at all..... ☹

Hahaha forgot we usualy have some nice brake out tracks that we through in to make the ride much more funn 😉🍺

yerp that hut is a sweet spot to camp 😁👌 camped there with a mate when i still had my DR650 and managed to get a trout 🤣👍 must get back there and camp again some time 🤔 have you done the sheffield to mole creek to lake mackenzie , to borradaile hut then to lemonthyme power station through to lorinna and back to devonport . its a great loop ride 😁👍
