2004 Suzuki DR-Z400E reviews

First thing to do with this bike is taller handlebars or risers. Stiffen up the back spring and change the front fork oil to 10w. Change the front sprocket to a 15t if you do a bit more street work. Re-route the breather hoses to under the fuel tank or in the air box with a foam filter on them for creek crossings. Once you've done these few things it's a whole new bike with great potential. Rivals many more expensive and powerful bikes. Show less

Traded in a Vulcan 800 that the wife was not driving for the DRZ400E. Being a Big and Tall type person this was really a great choice for power at the track and on the trails. Plenty of torque and very flickable for a 270lb bike..Have been to the local motocross track twice for about 30 miles total..it will take a while to grow into the power and handling for a new dirtbike rider..One good thing is if you get bored with the dirt it makes a great motard from reading some of the message boards.

GREAT EXPERIENCE SO FAR. AWESOME POWER FOR MY WEIGHT, EASY TRANSITION FROM QUAD (I haven't RIDDEN A 2 WHEELER IN 15 YEARS), VERY LIGHT AND NIMBLE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY UNDERRATED BIKE. NO BUYERS REMORSE HERE. Show less
