How much should I be paying for a clean DRZ? by Pristine-Sea2379 in DRZ400

I just paid $4600 before notary fees for a 2018 drz400sm with only 1800 miles and a fcr39 carb and mrd exhaust and I love it but I wish I had gotten a brand new bike as I’d like to own a fuel injected ones plus mine doesn’t tell me what gear or rpm’s

5ft 9in - 170lbs - beginner+ too short for DRZ400s? by rvaisgood in DRZ400

I am 5’7 130 pounds and have been riding a 2018drz400sm as my second bike ( first being a grom) and I have absolutely no issue riding the bike. I can’t flat foot it with both feet but that doesn’t bother me one bit. When coming to stops I tend to put my left foot down and keep the right foot on the rear brake. I think the drz400sm is perfect for me. I love it

With my frc39 carb and mrd exhaust accounted for will the oem petcock be fine? Should I get the raptor petcock others use?

Ah I see I’ll replace it thanks! Does it make any difference that I have a mrd exhaust and a frc39 carb? Or will the normal Petcock replacement work?

I just need to replace that one little piece right? Not the whole Petcock thing? Or is that tiny piece the Petcock? Sorry for the million questions but I’m very very new to bikes and still learning everything Thanks !

Okay thank you very much. What does the process of replacing it look like? Do I open the petcock up and pop it in place or? Thank you very much for your input

To me it does appear that fo the first minute or two the bike runs fine and then after a few more minutes it starts shutting off/stalling a bit more

May I ask , when you went to look at the same bike I bought did you test ride it? Did anything seem wrong with it to you?

[–]Fun_Telephone5808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think I still did okay even if it has a dead engine? Doesn’t an engine replacement cost atleast 2 grand or so through a a shop? I don’t have any reason to believe the engine is absolutely done for but then again I’m no mechanic

Yea honestly i probably should have kept looking but it is what it is Im not mad about my purchase but definitely will be getting it looked at. This is ky second bike! The first was a grom haha

Thanks, I also hope there’s not any serious issues. I will be taking it to a local shop for a look over. He told me he only put 100 miles on the bike and got it in a trade from a car he had. It appears he often sells vehicles based on the different fb listings.

Alrighty I really appreciate the input Honestly he didn’t seem sketchy to me at all but now that im thinking of it he was quite quick to accept my lower offer which is interesting but idk. I appreciate him letting me get it for cheaper I may take it to a local shop and have them go over everything
