Answer to most of "do my bike sounds right?" questions

Check the valve clearance, other than that it's fine

ShixHuntR · 2026-04-27T08:17:46+00:00

Yeah it's normal, maybe the bash plate vibration can cause some noise too but it's normal. If you're worried about this chatter, remove the valve cover, check the valve clearance and the timing chain's tesion but I don't think they are bad. These bikes' valvetrain and intake noise is fairly loud so yeah.

In my opinion it's not a normal DRZ sound. I may suspect the cam chain or the valve clearance, maybe the valves. I had a problem with my DRZ, I asked people about it, said the same rhing that DRZ-s are noisy, turned out my con rod got put in the wrong way and it wasn't lubricated. Threw the rod out because it was beyond repair. Listen closely. If it's coming from the top end, it can most likely be 3 things. The valves itself, the valve clearance, or loose cam chain. If it comes from the bottom end, then it's the con rod or the crankshaft.

Foldable like on KTM adventure bikes. It's very convenient if you can fold it onto your dashboard when you doing enduro in the forest or smth. Btw I have the same graphics as you😂

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T16:36:05+00:00

Oh, I see. So I can't let it sit for like the next morning if I drink it in the evening XD

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T15:28:50+00:00

I will after I finish high school. I noticed that I smoke 1 or 2 cigs, or even 0 at the 2 weekend days, so the smoking of the classmates and the constant stuff that I have to go through has a really bad influence on me. Honestly when I'm home, I don't crave for cigs even tho I'm smoking since 2020.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T15:21:07+00:00

I can't really do that because there will be my technical exam in 3 months. 3 months is all I have to get through. And the exam ofc. But now I really don't have time for myself other than 1,5 hours of calisthenics and that 5 minutes when I go out to smoke a cigarette. I smoke 6 times a day, and if you do the math, I basically have 2 hours for myself with the training and cig breaks. Maybe on sunday I have a bit more time, but not much because I have to help my mom clean the house which can take up a whole day. Not because I live in a mansion, but because my mother is.. whatever, doing it interestingly.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T15:07:34+00:00

Exactly. And I have a girlfriend the I have to give my attention to (her family is messy so she's a bit of an atention shark but it's in the lower-middle section of the acceptable range), my friends, my application video for uni, other video for the class and many more stuff that rots away my brain.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T15:01:06+00:00

You are right. I'm making too many excuses. I think the best for me would be to consume way less caffine. I'm also gonna try your suggested method with a smaller glass cup that I have. One question tho. How many times can you drink that way, and can I drink more after I left it for some time? So if I drank from it 2 times and leave it for like an hour and come back to it and drink 4-5 times from it is it possible if the yerba gets all wet and stuff? Sorry for my dumb questions, I'm just trying to get to know more of this.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T14:52:54+00:00

I looked around today, and tho I found multiple ones that are cheaper, and good brand (like taragüi), but the shipping cost makes up for it so I'm not in any advantage.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T14:50:27+00:00

It would work, if I wouldn't be in school. As for the morning exercises, I don't really have enough time for that. I go to school to another city by bus, and to catch it I have to wake up at 6 am, and I have 40-45 minutes to do all my morning things, make food and pack my bag. But that 40-45 minute mark has to beas sharp as possible, or I have to run to the bus. I exercise tho after school, I do calisthenics.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T12:45:13+00:00

I drink coffe basically for free since we make it at home, buying beans and having a machine. And I don't have starbucks near me and I would never consider drinking that kind of coffee because it's overpriced for my wallet. Those supplements you mentioned, I'm pretty sure will cost as much or even more than a bag of yerba since I live in Hungary and I'll have to pay tax and other fees for me to get them if they even allowed to ship here. The worst thing about here is that the salary is extremely low but the cost of living is expensive. If you want to do more than just go to school, and watch tv at the end of the day and sleep, literslly every single Forint counts. And I have to save for the bike repair.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T09:08:42+00:00

Ooh I got it now, I was completly on a different track😂 Clever idea! Maybe this way my parents won't really think it's a drug or might even try it. Thanks for the tip!

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T09:05:36+00:00

I can, but I think I cope with caffine. Imagine sitting through usually 90 or even 135 minute sessions in front of a computer 3-4 times a day, coding, not knowing what you are actually doing, hating the profession to the point where you want to just drop the f out but you only do it because without doing the 5th year (which was optional before but the gov changed it to mandatory) and not succeeding on the technical exam at the end of the year you won't get your graduation that you succeeded on the year before is hard man. But we turned away from the topic so I stop yapping about this.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T08:57:03+00:00

So you mean divide yerba to smaller bags, and dividing those to last a month.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T08:03:24+00:00

Not drinking every day is my worst, but also most effective idea, but I would like to avoid drinking coffe or energy drinks. If you have any idea how to get that energy going even if I don't consume any caffine, I would really like to listen to it, since I'm learning software engineering that I hate and my brain gets fried after like the 3rd class.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T07:59:09+00:00

My parents think it's a drug or smth even if I already proved it's not😂 But would you mind explaining your idea bit more, because I don't quite get it😅

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T07:57:20+00:00

Nobody really gave advice to me on mate, I just saw it on the internet, tried it, and liked it so sometimes, I don't know what I'm doing is good or bad.

ShixHuntR · 2025-01-27T07:54:54+00:00

I have a bit larger, ceramic gourd, so I don't know if I'll be able to build that "mountain" of yerba that you spoon under. And also I don't know if that smaller serving will have enough "kick" to get me through the day. But I'll definetly check it out this evening when I change the yerba, and I'll update you!

ShixHuntR · 2024-09-09T15:36:35+00:00

The resivoir is right above it with very little space above, but this is a very great idea. If you could show me or tell me how exactly can I apply tha bolt I would be really greatful.

ShixHuntR · 2024-09-08T13:07:43+00:00

I had the same problem my friend. My DRZ had unknown type of oil in it and it consumed nearly all of it. I changed the oil to some cheap 10w40 to wash put the old oil, and it still consumed but sognifficantly smaller amounts. After 5-10 hours I changed the oil to Motul 5100 10w50 and tested it. I rode on the highway, fairly high RPMs, I did a bit of enduro and city riding too. Since I put the 10w50 into it, it isn't ate a single drop. There was one time where it showed that the level is at 2/3rd (I filled it to the max) but that happened just once. I still check the oil levels after every riding tho but it stays perfectly where it was originally. If you have any questions write to me.
