RIPPING The Drz400!

Had to take advantage of the rain we got last night. Took the ol' DRZ out for a rip today. Part 1 of 2, second part includes single track, hill climbs and more! Thanks for watching.

My DRz has been down for a week since I found out I bent the fan shaft and twisted the left radiator... It'll be back in action for this weekend. These bikes can conquer anything, from the slimy woods of the northeast to the deserts of the southwest 🤘

@@painsrides3616 Sorry to hear that man, I forgot I even had a fan, didn’t come on for this ride which was surprising since it was pretty toasty. Looking forward to seeing your next video 🤘🔥

@@desertdrz7618 The day busted it, was around 95 degrees and 95% humidity with slime on everything. The trail system all slow, technical single track, the DRz only over heated once on a bad climb... I didn't realize I broke anything until the next day when I decided I was going to give the cooling system a quick check because of that over heat.

I'm considering a used DRZ400... I'm struggling with my decision. Get a KTM EXC-F which is lighter and faster... or the DRZ400 which is a tank with rock solid reliability.

@@JasonRidesmoto it really comes down to where you ride, the drz is a fantastic street legal off road bike but if you plan on doing anything technical or racing I’d go with the exc.. it’s noticeably lighter and faster out of the box.. however maintenance is more frequent, rebuilds after 150 hours etc. Best to get both haha. Thanks for checking out the channel!
