    I have a 2020 DRZ 400Sm & I also got mine in March! I'm glad I ran across your page, you seem really down to earth. I live in southern IN so your roads look almost identical to mine. Also, I felt your pain riding in sweatpants. I'm a car salesman so i wear my dress clothes all the time and i feel so weird riding a SM with basically a suit on lol. Love the mods you've done so far, a few i have done already and a few i will steal from you and use your install video's. Much love brother keep up the content

    Brrrr! Haha, I rode into town and mailed some bills, hit the station for gas and the sun comes out, I had to sit there for a while and get warm! 😆. Now, it's long johns and three layers on top, ... and helmet. Mines still completely stock.. other than the removal of the Spark arrestor.. I hit 90 mph and still had 1/4 throttle left...

      Stock gearing and stock size tires. 120/70/17 front. Filming this, a 140/70/17 rear. Now a 150/60/17 rear. It’ll go faster now. Upgraded the exhaust. And it rips.

    • @linksgarage1985
      @linksgarage1985  Před rokem +1

      The clutch side is a breeze. The throttle side is an absolute bitch. It’s literally glued / fused to the throttle tube. Trust me. You’re not sliding it off. What I did, is cut it off with a razor. And I had to basically shave it down little by little until the new grip would fit. What I would do knowing what I know now, is just buy another throttle tube (cheap). And replace it and not even spend an hour cutting it off. Good luck. And thank you for watching!

Also I hear something about carburetors or something about these bikes and it's stopping me from buying what's your opinion idk anything about them or if it's a simple quick fix every few years?

      Man, I just made a video called can you daily a Supermoto. Check it out. Do not be afraid of a carb. Bikes have had them for over 100 years. And it’s purely mechanical and no electrical, or programming or computer crap to worry about. Do some research, the DRZ is a tried and true classic. Damn near bullet proof. I used to live in Daytona! I’d say new one is $7599 plus tax. That’s just a guess tho. Good luck! And thanks for the sub!
