I have just purchased a Suzuki DRZ400E Cape York Edition. This is the first time I have owned a DRZ400 and I'm looking forward to the next adventure.#brokensprocket

    Steve's back for reals 🀘 Let's get started. Lots of fun to be had on the dozer mate πŸ‘Œ
  • Great stuff steve awesome seeing a bike back in your stable The beast looks in immaculate condition Looking forward to the upgrade videos and riding videos
  • That was an awesome video, 2 things in my mind was just keeping momentum and getting your butt on the seat for traction 😊

    Just nicked out a 70+ mile day on single track on mine. After 5 hours of sand, ruts, hill climbs, dirt road 80mph blasts, and deep sand you realize that you are still riding well while the people you are riding with on their modern 450cc motocross based enduro bikes have been beaten up. Yes the bike is slightly slower than a 450. It’s not a jumper. The bike can’t handle super fast chop as well as the modern bikes but IMHO it does everything else better. It’s comfortable. The engine is smooth and not vibey. You carry 2 quarts of oil. The handling is secure and the bike just floats over everything with the standards forks. This is why they still sell the darn thing.

    Very excited to see your future content Steve. I was hoping to see your mates on their DRZ's featured in your videos but this is even better!

    Had one loved it, went down a tooth on front cog and Yoshi exhaust and was fun. Reliable solid bike.
  • Excited about content, just bought a 2000 drz-e here in states… love it for single track and hill climbs. My first traily. Light to me, have a 1290 adv-r. My buddy sold to me who out rode everybody on it… hare scrambles etc. he was ex MXer though. But not always the bike clearly.

    been there done that , had a drz-e 03, best wheelie bike I ever had , but to tall, didn't handle to well, uncomfortable, felt top heavy, didn't feel fast ... can't wait to see some videos from you ... on this bike :D
  • @tezzaupnorth
    Had my sm for 13 years and love my trusty steed. Also have a set of 18, 21 dirt rims for it and handles extremely well in the dirt.

    Great vid! Just picked up a 2024 model in NZ. Unfortunately, no Cape York Edition here.. Great that Suzuki Aus did that promo! I have a YZ250FX for the trails, but have really been missing the exploration side of riding, so think it will be perfect for small adventures via public roads. Cheers!
  • @ktmhaka
    Great choice mate, nothing wrong with the old doctor! Just a little extra weight to get used to but will go anywhere you went on the 350 πŸ˜‰
  • E model is jetted properly out of the box, if you fit a full exhaust (staintune is best) raise the needle one clip and adjust the idle mixture screw from 1.5 turns out to 1.75. there's really no such thing as a 3x3 mod for e model it already has a 3 inch by 3.75 inch cutout in the top of the airbox all you need to do is pull the rubber snorkel out. a lot of advice on forums is for the s model and doesn't apply to E model as E model already has 24% more power than s-sm stock. the power is very smooth and they make peak power at 9k rpm so the harder you ride it the harder it goes, most people tend to putt around on them and because its manageable and torquey down low assume it has power that signs off early similar to old air cooled 4 stroke trail bikes like dr's, xr's,tt's etc but that's just not the case.
  • Who could forget the the..."send it expression". The saying was mimicked in many Dirt bike videos online after your video Haha!
