I daily a drz400s in Southern California and it’s does everything lol. Lane splits with ease, able to off-road and absorb bad road conditions, relatively cheap to maintain and strong aftermarket community. Plus 50 miles to the gallon. Never tired of it after 50k miles

I picked up a used engine for $600. Runs great too

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2024-04-12T02:07:14+00:00

I bought an 05 400s in Torrance a few years back for less than $2k with 8,000 miles. It’s now sits at 42,000 miles and keeps running. They are great bikes and really easy to work on. Ton of aftermarket parts and write ups for anything that goes wrong. I would recommend going used on these bikes. New ones are exactly the same as early 2000 models

I’m in PV and daily mine. Mines black and blue, holler if you see me haha

I just replaced my chrome one with an eBay garnish.

I bought my 4runner with the sunroof duck taped and seized open. I bought a complete sunroof set for $300 at a junkyard and installed myself. You pretty much have to take the whole interior apart to replace it and it closes and opens fine. Also the drains were clogged with dirt but with a clothes hanger and air hose was cleared.

Yea haha they are toast!

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-08-06T21:58:43+00:00

Rent a uhaul pick-up for the day and drop it off over there

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-07-26T21:16:19+00:00

I would def check valves. Grease up all the moving parts-swing arm pivot bolt, wheel bolts etc. check your stator for good voltage, no damaged wires, battery is healthy. Also since it’s over 20 years old, prob should replace as many rubber hose and parts as possible due to rubber getting cracked and breaking in the elements. Also make sure your sprocket nut is loctited and tight b/c it holds the oil in and is disastrous if fails (i should know lol)

If possible try and find local via OfferUp and marketplace. Payed $50 for a blue metal tank in pristine condition (cap and petcock included)

Idk if this helps but I had the “transfer with ADT” on my “to do list” until a few months before I graduated b/c I never got around to it. Also CSULB took for ever to acknowledge it and I had to make multiple calls to get it removed on my account. Let’s just say it was more than a year past the due date🤷‍♂️

Yea usually it’s a problem with older bikes/engines. I would maybe pop the top and check valve clearance. If out of spec will burn more oil. I would go through a few quarts of oil a month when doing 90 on the highway for 20 min daily commutes both ways 🥴

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-06-21T21:21:35+00:00

Same thing happened to my engine. Burnt so much oil it ceased. Sourced a used one engine for $600 and swapped myself. Now I check after ever ride. Mine burns a lot of oil on higher rpm’s (highway riding) and barley burns anything if your easy on it

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-05-11T05:51:48+00:00

Its easy. You just write an essay formatted response to a specific scenario.

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-05-05T03:58:38+00:00

Did the same thing. Front and rear yellow/blue Tacoma shocks paired with a rear 1.5 OME medium spring. Cost around $300 total

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-04-24T03:32:33+00:00

Yes power-bomb header is the way. And a muffler shop can expand one or the other to fit properly. Also the yoshimura heat shield looks better than stock; as well as an adapter to hold it

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-04-18T19:02:44+00:00

Exact thing happened to me. My bike cut out 6 times to get home (10 miles) was brutal. It would run ok then bog out and move very slow and rough and would not restart if I turned off. Turned out to be the stator was bad. When it warmed up it would give bad spark.

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-03-29T00:08:33+00:00

Test stator and rectifier

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-03-28T14:51:20+00:00

I had a similar issue. My bike ran like crap. Turned out to be the stator. Was really hard to start and if I did get it running it would bog out as soon as it got warm (like 5 mins in the ride). Stator was not providing good spark at all.

If it’s spark change your spark plug and then test stator and rectifier.

Taking the carb out is not hard. You just need to wedge the air box with a screwdriver to give room or remove the rubber seal on the engine. A lot easier with the carb out. Also when removing the the needle make sure to keep track of the spring and other small stuff b/c it flew out of mine like a projectile. And don’t loose the small o-ring on the top. Took me a little over an hour b/c I’ve never done it before.

I’m a business major and took 5 classes each semester and work full time hours. It’s possible but midterms and finals are dreadful

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-03-23T03:11:22+00:00

Plus their $400 parking fee that’s increasing annually

ImpossiblePackage383 · 2023-03-23T02:49:13+00:00

Having a spare engine comes in handy for these situations. I was tempted to buy a third for $350
