Stranded on a Mountainside at 4200 Feet: Camping and Riding My Suzuki DRZ400S

The Suzuki DRZ400s is one of the most reliable motorcycles of all time, so imagine my surprise when it suddenly died and wouldn't start again after climbing almost all the way up a mountainside. After messing with it a bit and trying to utilize my limited mechanical abilities to diagnose the problem, I was able to narrow it down to a fuel tank pressure issue and eventually get the bike started and make it back to camp. Before all this, I set out on what I thought was going to be a pretty normal camping and motorcycle riding trip. I road tripped up over the Santiam Pass with stops at Lost Lake and Round Lake along the way, as well as some beautiful views of Three Fingered Jack. Once I arrived at my campsite at Gorge Campground near Camp Sherman, Oregon, I unloaded my Suzuki DRZ 400 and took off towards my destination: the Green Ridge Lookout. I made it 75% of the way up the mountain when I had my dual sport break down and got temporarily stranded at 4200 feet of elevation. It was a sketchy/scary experience for sure, but eventually I made it back to camp for a more relaxing evening by the campfire.

When I was 16 my buddy and I drove a POS 70's dodge up into the mountains and got it stuck as it was 2wd only. We figured we had a 7 hour walk in front of us back to camp. Nothing like that realization sinking in that your screwed and you start walking hoping to be back by about 1am. Three hours into our walk a guy in a Pinto showed up and took us back. Once you're back safe and sound it sure turns into a good story, thanks for sharing!

[@deanjustice6701]

Also, very important. Open your oil dip stick cap on the frame, put your nose down on it and smell. If it smells like fuel, change your oil and oil filter immediately. In an overflow situation, gas can run into the combustion chamber, and get into your crank case. Gas thins out oil and destroys main bearings. Just an FYI. Good luck.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Thank you. I'll check that right away.

[@l1qu1dm3t4lIV]

Yeesh, Youre right. I'd change it anyway to inspect it. Even for just a short while, gas on clutch material is no good.

[@daltonv5206]

Some great info in the comments 👌

[@94SexyStang]

NOT totally true!!!.......it takes a TON of gas in your oil to burn bearings or seize a piston!....gas evaporates, and you got oil moving Way too fast for the gas to even make a difference for the average leak. Yes you should change your oil, but you're Not instantly going to cook bearings.......you would need like 1 gallon gas in your Oil, or something ridiculous, Lol. I've had Tons of bikes that leaked gas in the oil, like a Quart! And it still rode fine, this is extremely common in old Motorcycles........it's not an instant death sentence, just change it as soon as possible, that's all.

[@deanjustice6701]

I have a DRZ400 as well. The fuel was coming out of your carburetor overflow hose. It could be that your carburetor float was stuck. Next time try tapping on the side of the carb to dislodge the float. Also, I run ethanol free gas in my bike. I've rebuilt too many carburetors that are gummed up from using normal pump gas with ethanol in it. If you are running normal pump gas, and the bike has sat for awhile, you may might want to clean the carb. It kind of looks like that is what is going on to me. Hope this helps.

[@DorkintheRoad]

I appreciate the advice. I only run non ethanol in my carbuerated bikes so hopefully it's not too gummed up in there.

[@deanjustice6701]

@@DorkintheRoad could have been excessive pressure build up in the gas tank forcing excessive fuel past your float needle and overfilling the float bowl. I never thought of that, so I learned something new. Thanks. If that's the case, then find out why your gas cap wasn't venting properly.

I guess it's not an adventure until something goes wrong. We were visiting my son when he was working out of Hood River. We had heard about Lost Lake and wanted to see it since it was summer and thought it would be cool to see a lake that fills up and then drains.

In case you didn't get back up Green Ridge, just so you know, you wouldn't have been able to ride all the way to the lookout. The road is gated about a 1/4 mile away -- the lookout is rented out during the shoulder season and used as an active lookout in the summer. We rode up there (after visiting Wolf Rock) and opted not to walk to the lookout since it was also 90+ degrees when we were there. You got the best views on the ride up and down!

[@DorkintheRoad]

That is really good to know. Thank you. I feel a hell of a lot less bad about not making it up there now. ;)

[@CommieHunter7]

I think almost all in Oregon are like that now, especially 'close to civilization'. They're either set up for rent, or torn down. Some way out in the boonies are still there, and a couple are still in use (like Black Butte) but the up-close-and-personal fire lookout experience is almost gone in Oregon now.

[@jshingler5284]

Definitely a tank venting problem. The not ideling could be just that you were at altitude. If you up there for an extended time just turn up the idle screw on the carb.

[@CommieHunter7]

My guess (without knowing the facts): Since he'd been riding, maybe didn't put the choke back on, and it had cooled off enough to need it? Also, possible that it took so long to start afterwards because the engine and carb were flooded. Best way to clear a flooded condition is to crank it with the throttle wide open.

[@Sickvideos19]

If I get stranded miles from nowhere with a fuel injected bike I have no idea what to start checking or working on first. And finding a fault is a process of elimination. Whilst checking all these many components I'll be using the battery up testing things. Oh ...No... now I have a flat battery. Guess what ? You can't bump start a fuel injected bike. With a carburettor and a little knowledge I know I will definitely find the problem eventually and fix it. If I flattened the battery, O.K. I can bump start it.

That has to be a really bine chilling experience. All the way out there and the bike doesn't want to run. I couldn't tell from the angle but looked like it was draining out of the overflow.

One of the advantages of riding at very simple basic carburetor bike without all the electronics. On the odd chance that your bike breaks down, even someone with very limited mechanical experience can generally sort out the issue and get going. That's why most serious adventure riders the DR650 and KLR 650. Can you imagine if this happened to the BMW or KTM?

I wore the mechanics brand version of those gloves for a while when I 1st started writing my KLX300R, until I could afford some decent mc gloves. Had a pretty good high side in the dirt and they actually held up.

[@jaywarner1912]

DRZs are famous for petcock failure. Mine failed and the float valve also failed. It sat for a week and completed filled my crank case and cylinder with fuel. Complete self imposed hydrolock. Replaced the factory petcock with a pingle. Bike never wanted to idle from new. I finally replaced it with a WR250R. The sound of the DRZ starter was a constant, the engine running, not so much.

Just catching this episode and was curious about your final diagnosis. Obstructed vent causing pressure rise and carb flooding? This seems odd as a lot of fuel should have been consumed during the ride uphill. Flooding carb seems more like just a stuck float valve.

Did you need to adjust the air/fuel mixture for the ascent? In one of my college in photography classes they had a sign which read "Comfort is your enemy". I've tried to keep that in mind. I'm surprised RMATVMC hasn't given you one of the Tusk Battery Starters. I love mine.

[@CommieHunter7]

I've only watched to 10:09 yet but I have a guess: First off, if you're pissing fuel, you should shut off the fuel petcock from the tank. That will minimize how much you can lose. But, I believe your problem is a clogged or blocked fuel vent line, so when the bike and fuel and air got hot, the tank pressurized. Because the pressure couldn't equalize, it forced fuel down and overpowered the float valve, flooding your carb bowl and causing it to leak out the overflow.

[@JohnDoe-1000xt]

sounds right..good call

[@1wezefbaby]

I bet it's flooded because the O ring that goes on the needle valve assembly went bad. When it goes it continously dumps fuel into the motor. It happens especially when using gas wit ethanol. Easy fix just pop the bowl off take off the float and float needle. Unscrew the screw that the needle was in and replace the Oring around it. I always carry spares with me. If you let it set and too much fuel gets in the cylinder then try to start it you could bend valves or damage rings. Check your oil to make sure no fuel is in it before you take her back out.

Technology - the more efficient, advanced and “green” cars and motorcycles become, the more the tiniest little “innovation” can cause a total failure. They were basically more reliable 50 years ago (in as much there was only a couple of things that could go wrong and these could easily be fixed with a couple of simple tools).These days you need a state of the art workshop and enough computer power to get a spaceship to Mars just to diagnose a simple problem (which in my case recently, took 6 hours labour and a virtual engine dismantle to change a $25 sensor).

There should NEVER be pressure, or vacuum in a carbureted system. Its just gravity feed from the tank to the carb bowl, then a float and needle valve that controls the system. Its as basic as basic gets. Throw the tank bag away, that system needs to vent properly. Also take your carb apart and put it back together a few times...understand what is happening there and actually be prepared instead of "I buy lots of gear" and "google" prepared.

Someone does not need to be able to rebuild a carb to be safe on a motorcycle...sheesh. He did learn about a stopped vent line though, so I’m sure he won’t do that again. I’m sure being born with this knowledge, Mike, has helped you throughout life though...feel extra good about that.

Everyone talks about how "reliable" Fuel Injection is.....until your battery dies, and you CAN'T bump start, now you're Done, LOL.

Yes people seem to be overlooking that. FI needs a battery with juice. Maybe if you push it a ways?

[@knappdaddy]

Glad you made it back down ! Your shades are on point :)

[@Youmommacallsme]

When it does that stop throttling and dumping more fuel.

It is vacuum operated not a FCR carb
