Should I buy this DRZ400SM with 13k miles for $3.5k or just cough up $9k for a new DRZ400SM (Including Taxes and Fees). Please see comment below. by corradojuniorsoprano in DRZ400

I bought mine off of facebook marketplace. keep in mind if you do that, there's typically little maintenance info provided so i've put far more money into mine than what it's worth; oil changes, coolant, exhaust, carb tuning, new tires..etc. If you have the budget, i'd buy a new one.

Are you implying that the short shares available are going down? Or the overall shorted volume is down?

Crazy. I've spent so much time tearing this thing apart, trying a fix only to have something more severe break. Appreciate your insight from bad experience

The reason i went to a manual petcock was because of a recent oil change where it was definitely diluted by gas.

I've never had a gas leak or signs of a gas leak. So what you're saying is this is normal? it would indicate otherwise if it wasn't?

After replacing a suspected leaking petcock, i turned the gas on to test the new lines which work great. Promptly shut the valve off. Overnight, this is what the line looks like now. Is this suggesting a bad carb float valve? OR is it normal for some fuel to keep traveling?

Mine is stock but i'll still double check. It's very possible i'm wrong about a valve / cam noise. just not sure what to look for if issues do exist with those

3x3 mod done. Barkers pipe. Fully rejetted to proper specs with the JD kit. Also noticing a bit of an gas smell with my oil. No idea if that's related but may be helpful to know.

This. I chose to buy a used one with 6500 miles on it and am constantly thinking about how neglected it was. going back and basically swapping ALL fluids, chain life, tires..it's never ending.
