- The game changer. The Xtrig Preload Adjuster transforms the usability of the Suzuki DRZ400E's rear shock. It allows for preload adjustments to be conducted anywhere and at any time whether loaded or unloaded.
In this video I also talk about my number one modification to transform the DRZ400E into a true adventure bike. SUSPENSION.

Damn, that last bit was a bit hektik ... I'm glad your happy with the suspension !
When I had my DRZ400E BB stroker I found the Racetech base settings a really good start…just enter riding weight, tank size, riding level etc into their calculator and it recommends shim stack settings for gold valves, and front and rear spring rates. The springs were spot on, and I only had to tweak the shim stack to get a KTM-like front end. Did all the work myself, it’s not difficult.
Way to go Lance, happy for you mate...you're going to enjoy being such a better and different rider
I believe you have just spared me many bloody knuckles, thank you! That's money well spent.
yeoow, I was just thinking lance was due for a vid, was hanging out for something fresh from you mate....... haven't even touched the sus on my DR yet, 2 months of riding now, been having fun
Lance, I've only watched a minute of you riding the new set up and I can actually see the difference. You're carrying more speed and making sections you wouldn't have previously. Bloody great result! Also, thanks for the product heads up - I just couldn't believe it had to be so difficult!
Ripper!! Like you, I couldnt believe Suzuki made it so difficult to adjust the sag on the rear shock, given its one of the fundamental elements to riding amd having the bike dialed in. Thanks for sharing the product.
I have wanted the X-Trig from the day I learned about it. You may have even seen my post on the Suzuki DR/DRZ Owners Australia group on FB (12 Mar), asking whether there was one for the DRZ400. It is on my list for upgrades, but a larger tank is first on my list.
Absolutely brilliant video thanks for sharing your content great channel allways enjoy your videos keep up the great work 👌👍
bouncy is bouncy good.
It is a great product, expansive yes, but when I do the rear shock, which is a must, that will be the time to decide. Having had my previous KLX250/300 rehashed by MPE I know what a game changer better suspension is. My 05 KLX400e has only 11k on the clock, but the age works against things bump stops and seals, so it's a must to do soon, funding dependent. Having just taken delivery of a Himalayan 452 it is soaking up dollars too with necessity, Barkbusters, decent baseplates/engine protection, larger windscreen & all the other bit n bobs. Cheers for the heads-up & stay upright. 👍
Great work, your description of setting rear sag using the "factory" method caused me to lose my coffee, very funny and accurate.
I mentioned / recommended the X-trig to Josh as well on his video. Great bit of kit.
Thanks bro. Your vids are very helpful to me because we are about the same height and weight with the same adventure riding style.
Awesome video mate, I'm digging the rear spring adjuster. Need one on my drz.
Cheers for the advice, I'll be adding the xtrig to my build list. I hope they give you a bit of sponsorship 👌
Money well spent mate best thing I did to my drz next is the 440 kit
It'd feel like a new bike I bet mate! Carrying a big fella like you plus all the gear, the ole zook would've been hurting! hahaha
Na mate it feels good because its new suspension. The last few trips your springs were that rooted it would of hurt on all the rough stuff
Yes it’s great to have an Xtrig ( which I’ve got) but for me I still don’t know what’s good preload and what’s not!!
