    Fun fact! Lectron actually has a drz400 that they test out all there 400cc or so 4stroke carburetors on. The 2stroke carbs are different and don’t have a specific idle circuit that needs adjusting like on the 4strokes. The carb on your bike was tuned on a dyno use bike before it came to you 👍

    Removal of the rectifier makes a world of difference. Just two 10mm. Removal of the long bolt and nut helps, but if you LOOSEN, not remove the two bolts (12mm) that hold the rear subframe (down by the foot pegs) it’ll allow the rear subframe to slide back and give you tons of space.

    • @kannermw
      @kannermw Před 3 lety +6

      If you live where you can ride year-round then you likely don't have problems with carb low speed jet plugging which is a PIA. I have to use non-enthanol premium fuel to minimize this issue. I currently own my second fuel injected bike and they both have run nearly perfect all the time warm or cold and no fiddling even after extended storage with fuel stabilizer.
      Carbs are amazing for what they do but they are at best a significant compromise. A carb ALWAYS sacrifices fuel economy and emissions for performance. Carbs can never achieve the same optimal level of performance as they represent added restriction in the form of a venturi to accurately meter fuel. Then there is the aspect of driveability across temperature ranges, altitude, and cold start choke/enrichment fiddling.
      On the road my VStrom 1000 gets better fuel economy than my DR650 that I fitted with a modified airbox and Keihin FCR MX 39. There is simply no comparison between the weight and performance between the two and the same would apply to DRZ 400 as well.
      I wish Suzuki would invest money in replacing the DRZ400 and DR650 with 350-400cc and 500-650 cc bikes to better compete with KTM at a competitive price point with Japanese reliability/dealer support and re-open these bikes to a more global market. These bikes have been grand-fathered in under the old emissions regulations and sooner or later this is likely to end along with your choice to purchase one.

    A Keihin FCR39 Slant on stock (Aus) jetting also just works out of the box, and is one of the best carbs for said bike unless you're heavily modified in which case the FCR41MX is better equipped to feed a 470-522 build.
    Being 38mm and lacking an accelerator pump I can see the Lectron being a limiting factor long before a FCR39 Slant or FCR39MX (better pilot circuit) both of which are incredibly easy to set, are extremely reliable whilst being more capable of feeding said motor. Given prices and capabilities the Lectron just doesn't make sense.

    • @earlgray4333

      When you look at the lectron carburetor you have to think about functionality the simplicity the easy adjustability and the fact that it doesn’t need any jetting for elevation or temperature change is what makes the lectron carburetor a good choice for adventure riders that do a lot of different elevation changes or someone that lives in a state with several elevations so the electron makes perfect sense when applied appropriately. Sure your other carburetors are great to but the electron stands alone in its function as simplicity.

    Good review and conclusion. Letting hygroscopic ethanol gas sit in a carb is what causes most issues. CV Carburetors work great and are very simple. For the way I use the DRZ reliability and serviceability is key and why I still have the stock CV carb. I use the DRZ for point to point solo desert riding at night. The DRZ can be re-jetted (or the Main and *Idle Jet* can be removed and cleaned) in ten minutes with the carb still installed, just turn it a few degrees to get access. Best solution is to get out and ride the bike on the daily or weekly. Sitting more than two months will cause issues, first with the idle jet.

      @@IAmYourReflection You don't need to remove the side plastic and seat to get access to the jets. You can loosen the clamps on the air-filter boot and the intake then turn the carb. It will turn just enough so that using a 90 degree screwdriver you can access the bowl screws and then the three jets can be removed. You can also pull the air filter and move the slide with your finger to see if it is sticky. You can check the jets and slide then pull the carb for a deep clean if necessary. When you put it back together it is a good idea to replace to bowl screws with hex head screws (available at home depot). This will make the disassembly/assembly a bit easier in the future.

    @Edward-rg8mh Před 2 lety

    My stock 2018 DRZ400S has instant throttle response and I've never had to fiddle with the carb - just saying. I understand that you bought your DRZ400S second hand, so many of the mods were already done when you purchased the bike. Tuning the oxygen and fuel mixture is a critical balance done in the factory on a dyno. The problems with the carburator starts when people change the factory settings, e.g. 3x3 air filter mod, loud AF after market exhaust, and new carburator jetting kit. My DRZ400S has plenty of power for me with instantaneous throttle response and a pleasantly quiet exhaust. Part of the reason for long maintenance intervals on the DRZ400S is due to the tuning. Once you modify your DRZ to get more power, not only have you introduced never ending carb tuning problems, but now your maintenance intervals have been shortened considerably 🤙✌️

      In Arnold Terminator 1 voice: "wrong!". As long as you run a safe a/f ratio (correct jetting), stock timing and compression, adeaquate fuel octane, and dont overrev from downshifting too early, reliability will be the same as stock. Yes jetting may not be perfect initially after mods but there is a large data pool for jetting settings for certain mods.

    yea, as said before don't complicate carburators, they are simple, you went from vacum throttle to cable throttle that is why you feel a difference, if you took a minute or two to study carburators you would be much more appricated by the way your bike runs.
    And alot easier to determine whats wrong incase of emergency.
    Jetting is fun and easy, and you will be able to make it run just the way you want it to.
    Just check the spark plug after a decent amount of miles to see the color with this Lectron.

    No more jetting or never touching it again is not possible with a carb. BeRAD might be able to put a good base jetting in, based on your specs, gas and altitude, but if you go change altitude it will change how well it runs. This happens with any carb on any bike.
    It is highly advisable to check if it actually runs well if you do mods or swap carbs, by putting it on a dyno with an AF meter.
    The only true maintenance-free option is self-adjusting injection, which is impossible on a DRZ as far as I can find.
    For so long I've been looking for a Lectron for my DRZ400SM big bore stroker build, but could never find them for the DRZ for some reason. It's now a 462cc with a long ratio ACT gearbox and a Lectron would be the cherry on top.

    • @robinsonrom
      @robinsonrom Před 4 lety

      Lectron carbs are unconventional carbs that do not use jets, and they have a mechanism (some kind of metering rod) that can automatically adjust for things like changes in altitude. I have not used one yet though, so I don't know how well this works. I definitely find them to be a curiosity though.

      I'm still considering getting one, although the conversion kind of broke the bank. It's an 800,- carb, while a 39mm FCR is only 350,- usually.

      @danielboucher328 Před 3 lety

      Yes it does if you're considering the altitude (air density). After that, it's more about the air intake than the jettings .. I think .. if it's cold, open the intake since air density is less .. if it's hot, close it a little because air is dense .. but no one does that on a regular base. So it might be running a little rich on cold days and the other way around on hot ones.
