Owners report that in terms of mechanical failures, the single is very solid and your main worry comes from things vibrating loose.It seems like a tube of thread-lock is one of the most important tools in any DRZ owner’s kit and areas such as the front sprocket nut require a dab of it as a preventative measure.The OE exhaust note is fairly wimpy and a lot of owners fit an aftermarket unit, mainly as there is a fair chance it will get dented but also to enhance its noise. However all of this is to be expected from an enduro bike and if you want more road performance, there is an alternative.The DRZ 400 SM with its 17-inch wheels, inverted forks and uprated brakes is a far better pure road bike than the S, so have a think about if you really want to ride off-road before you decide on the DRZ model to buy.If you really want an S and are looking at road riding, adding firmer springs to the forks will remove a lot of the dive while swapping the shock’s spring (or investing in an aftermarket unit) will make the back end far more supportive for not a great deal of outlay.And be careful with the tyres you pick as they make a huge difference to not only road noise but also the grip levels – the more off-road targeted the less road grip and the noisier the ride.The DR-Z’s single cylinder motor is a good old-fashioned plodder and with a double overhead cam, four valves and a water-jacket is hardly being stressed to produce 39bhp and 29ft.lb of torque.The fact it has an electric start is a major bonus for anyone looking at trail riding and so is its reliability. And if you aren’t interested in off-road, there was even a Supermoto version, the DRZ 400 SM, which arrived in 2005 and is far more road-orientated.After you've read this review and our owners' reviews, you may want to join the Suzuki Owners' Club to find out more and talk to current owners.You have to remember that the DRZ 400 S was designed as a dual-purpose trail bike and that means there are a few compromises in terms of its handling.The skinny 21-inch front wheel is the perfect size for knobbly tyres (or semi-knobbly if you are doing mainly road miles) but due to its size and width it can feel a little vague on the road, especially in the wet.The suspension is also built with off-road in mind and that means a wallowy ride (the weight of a pillion makes the shock almost hit the end of its travel) and the single two-piston front caliper is pretty weak in its performance. In the UK they remain a very popular bike with TRF members, so their forum is also worth putting up a post on if you want to know a bit more about them.Light, reliable and fairly cheap to buy, the DRZ is a bike that will plod on through just about any conditions. 49.95.Although there were a few DRZ 400 models before the S (and a DR350 before the 400), the original one only had a kickstart and while the E did have an electric starter and was road legal, it isn’t as refined as the later S and is more a ‘legalised enduro’ than a proper dual purpose trail bike like the S.This set fits all DRZ 400SMs from 2005-2019, 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017,2005-2019 Suzuki DRZ 400SM Graphics,Free Delivery.Why is this important? Riding the trails is only a small part of what a DRZ 400 S can do and with its pillion pegs, mirrors, softer engine tune and full instruments, the S makes for a good commuter as well as a weekend green lane explorer.Despite getting on for 20 years old now, the DRZ 400 S is still a really popular model for those who enjoy a bit of light trail riding (remember, green lanes require your bike to be road legal and with an MOT) and if you go to forums such as Thumper Talk, which is all about single cylinder bikes, you will find a whole section dedicated to the DRZ 400.And not just populated by UK fans, the DRZ was successful in America and Australia where its rugged nature made it perfect for exploring the wilderness on.
In all weathers without a single problem."It is a great bike for touring Scotland during the winter months and a great traffic-buster around town."They are really solid built bikes and well worth their weight in gold."As it is fairly old and not that powerful, insurance is cheap on a DRZ and with 70mpg easily achievable, it isn’t that costly to run either, especially if you do all your own servicing.There is nothing to be feared when it comes to basic maintenance on a DRZ and if you are at all bothered, there are loads of ‘how-to’ videos online when it comes to the basics. The SM did suffer from this problem in the beginning but now it seems to have cured itself and has done 7000 miles in 12months. However they are rather expensive, but well worth it for your own safety."One problem we seem to have with these bikes in the very cold conditions is carb-freeze. Recently I fitted it with Avon Distanzia trail tyres and it has much improved the handling on the icy roads of Scotland."On the road they seem to grip just as well as any road going tyre also. Living here in Scotland this bike was the best all rounder I ever owned and I used it all year round - sun or snow."Unfortunately it was stolen in December, 2008 and I decided to buy the newer DR-Z400SM."The SM is just as solid as the off road version, but in snow with road going tyres it was hell.
It doesn't do track the best (21in front wheel just doesn't lend itself to this), and it doesn't do off-road the best. If the bike looks a bit tatty, don’t worry as complete body kits are cheap to buy and you can even get a bigger capacity tank for serious adventuring.Great fun when compared to other 400cc+ supermotos and crossers.The DRZ-400S is the all-rounder. The best extras to fit are engine case protectors as the DRZ’s cases are a bit fragile and could split or fracture in an impact, crash bars to protect the tank from dings, radiator guards, a bigger sump guard and a beefier set of brush guards if you are heading onto the trails.To be honest, messing about with the motor is best avoided as you will start to compromise its reliability levels. In terms of accessories, well that’s where it get interesting.There are loads of companies that cater for the DRZ and exhausts, suspension upgrades, new bars, sticker kits and even big-bores are common. When you look at how much a modern trail bike is, there really is no need to pay anything like this amount.If you can get one for under £2000 you should be happy, but paying much over this mark is a bit silly when you consider you can get a Yamaha XT660R for £2500, which is just as rugged but has a bigger motor making it better for road riding, or a Honda CRF250L for about the same amount and they are superb bikes for light trail riding.If you're after a dirtbike-style city commuter but aren't planning to go anywhere near a trail, you could also consider a Yamaha WR250X.Make sure you include room in your budget for good quality security as the DRZ (and any dirt bike for that matter) can be a favourite for bike thieves.You don’t get much as standard on a DRZ and aside from the helpful seat-mounted tool kit (which by now will probably have had its contents pilfered) and a degree of adjustability in its suspension (the preload can be altered at both ends) that’s your lot.But what else does it need? You have a speedo (no fuel gauge), horn, lights and everything to be road legal and that’s it.
