DRZ400sm
-
A little back story i sold my yamaha dt125 a while back and had the aim to do my A2 restriced licence.
i got my licence and picked up this bad boy 2007 suzuki drz400sm
I paid £2500 for this which is cheep but the previous owner forgot to mention ( and yes im a cunt and forgot to check) it is a cat c write off back in 2007 with 500 miles on the clock)
(yes im a big guy)First thing i had to do to it was to remove the silly red graphics.
and i stubbied the end can ...
i found some slight damage on the tank 2 small dents. but it doesnt phase me its not to look pretty and be perfect. its to have its tits ragged and be dropped ect.

I am sorry but that's a little bit funny!
Danny you knew they were unreliable. How many times did Nathan blow his UP?
It's bad luck but they are notorious for failures. At least a rebuild is cheap, oh wait it's four stroke so will cost you.
Nah in all fairness mate, they are really simple to rebuild. It will cost you as much or as little as you want. Depends on how you want to proceed. Doyou go all out and reinforce the engine to make it bullet proof.
Or do you want to get it running again on the cheap?
Either way it's going to need some thinking.
If you want a bike for motorways then a drz ain't it. 400's aren't that much fast than a tuned 125. For motorways you will want a 600 or something geared up.
Hope you sort it buddy.
For anyone wondering I've known Danny a long time I am not literally laughing, but he never has much luck with bikes it seems. But seriously Danny how many times did Nathan break his?

it locked up on the motorway on saturday night ( litterly was on it for 1 mile and wasn't hammering it). Everything was running fine before hand she just lost power then a horrible grinding noise from the cylinder. And a horrible smell and white smoke from the exhaust and no coolant in the top of the radiators.
Can turn the engine over by hand but locks up at a certain point spark plug is undamaged and the cam chain is still on. -
Took it into the shop the other week, not herd anything back but they are specialist in supermoto's do all the race bikes, when i dropped it off there was a cr500 sm in there was lovely.
Thanks to one of my mates who took it up there for a mcdonalds.
Last picture i have of her the day she blew up, me and my mate on a r6 on the rainford bypass holding hands haha
