Is The DRZ400 The Nokia 3310 Of Motorcycles?

[@TRyanLearnBikes]

Perfect analogy to the 3310 .Damn man you have some sweet roads to ride around on .Very very nice .

[@linksgarage1985]

Thank you man! Appreciate you tuning in. Yes sir. Kentucky has some nice roads. Can’t wait until til it’s warmer. Going to explore like crazy this year!

Carburetors and gravity work just fine. No plug in tuner required

[@linksgarage1985]

You’re freaking right. Ladies and gentleman…. The DRZ whisperer!

[@CraigSmith568]

I love that it has a carburetor. If I want to change a part and it needs re-tuned I can do it with a screwdriver. I actually prefer not to have ABS also. Only electronic gizmo I like is cruise control if it's a bike I'm going to be riding longer distances to keep my hand from going numb.

[@linksgarage1985]

Cruise control is definitely nice for long trips!

[@Bibby723]

i have a drz and i still watch all your videos like this. im just nodding my head like hes damn right lol carbs also not that bad. i have a buddy who wont get a carbed bike cause he doesnt wanna deal with it, im like bro who raised you? lol

[@linksgarage1985]

Carbs are simple man. I want to know how to work on things mechanically. And not rely on electronic wizardry. 💪🏼

[@CRFLAus]

Oh man I miss playing snake! I've had ABS, traction control, riders modes before on other bikes. It's ok but man I love my DRZ! The new Ducati supermoto has wheelie control and something called "slide by brake" basically it'll make a noob ride like a pro which doesn't interest me at all. I'm sure it's a hell of a bike (with a price tag to match) but it seems like all this technology is watering down the soul of riding if that makes sense.

[@linksgarage1985]

It makes perfect sense. You have to be more in tune with what’s going on, on a hike with less technology. And I dig that. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

[@quinteastwood8752]

Carburetors aren't that complicated. They kind of suck because they're always going to be a little bit off, maybe your air filter got dirty, or it's cooler or more humid. I remember my first FI bike, I was over the moon. Now I'm eyeing up the DRZ cause I can't justify waiting to save up for a KTM500...

[@linksgarage1985]

Yea. You are correct. They’ll never be perfect. But if the end of the world happened, I’d rather have a dinosaur bike than an electrically controlled computer bike. 💪🏼good luck on your hike brother!

[@Tor2Guh-]

i ride honda ruckus and a honda grom. i dont even need speed homie just gimme 2 wheels and ill get there when i get there lol!

[@linksgarage1985]

Groms and Ruckus’s are freaking awesome! Can’t beat a Honda

[@stanleykachuik2589]

Same reason why I'm reluctant to upgrade my 2013 speed triple. Has nothing other than ABS and fuel injection. All the rest of the tech they've put on bikes in the last 10 years. Is completely unnecessary. And expensive to fix.

[@linksgarage1985]

Exactly right man!

[@GODSWORD11]

Great video as always! Quick question.. just wondering why you use premium fuel? I’ve read conflicting articles about only using low octane because of the carb etc. I’m just curious your thoughts.

[@linksgarage1985]

Just something I’ve always done. Being carbureted or fuel injected wouldn’t have anything to do with your octane level. Carbs eat 87 just like 93. For me it’s more about detonation.

[@GODSWORD11]

@@linksgarage1985 Roger that, bro. Thanks for your response.

[@linksgarage1985]

@@GODSWORD11 no problem! I actually prefer 90 octane non ethanol. There’s only one place local to me that has it. Ethanol sitting for a while gets nasty.
