The DRZ400SM Is A Blast!

I had a hell of a time uploading this video. Hope you enjoy!

[@liquidmetal4050]

Came back from a backroad blast on the KLX300SM, cracked a beer, and watched this video. Life is good.

[@wasawasablingbling]

I ride a 300sm too. Bone stock engine, just a couple visual modifications

[@linksgarage1985]

Dude, that’s freaking awesome! Love this!

[@brendandownham654]

its that simple

[@dreadonarival64]

I got the 400s and been beating up the logging roads near me the heat has been nice

I love riding my DRZ on the back roads here in West Virginia.

[@linksgarage1985]

Hell yea

[@Oatmeal_TVx]

That’s where I’m at 👍

[@CraigSmith568]

West Virginia...36,000 miles of road, 7 straight stretches.

[@Timboslicce]

I saw you videos on the DRZ content. Then I was watching Jake the garden snake and he mentioned that you sent him some parts for a GSXR to help out for no reason other than because. I thought that was super cool of you. I’ve been a fan ever since. Also I ended up buying a 09 KTM 450exc and absolutely love it. Thanks for always being positive, it’s keeping me in the game

[@linksgarage1985]

Man that’s awesome! And yep! I sent Jake a radiator for Gixxer Brahhs bike. And sent him some part links for his brakes. He’s doing the same R1 brake upgrade for the GSXR. I appreciate you watching. Ever need anything, holler. 💪🏼

[@dougcallahan1466]

I bought a '22 DRZ last year and have updated just about everything. You've taught me a ton! From changing jets to decal replacement, 3x3 mod and FMF header and pipe. Great videos! Town and back road riding for me. Taking a trip to N.C. next month to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway!

[@linksgarage1985]

That’s awesome. I love to hear comments like this. I’m glad to help. And have a great ride dude!

[@zackcaloon1293]

Came for the DRZ content. Love the How too’s. Stayed for the sweet rides and hilarious commentary!

[@linksgarage1985]

Hell yea! Thank you. I appreciate you sticking around. 💪🏼

[@linksgarage1985]

Happy Saturday!!!

[@stevend714]

Same ridin like you but I am prepping my drz for a road trip doing a big loop from Phoenix, Montana, Canada, Oregon, some of the Northern California coast and back to phoenix. In the midst of prepping the bike for this long trip

[@linksgarage1985]

That’s a hell of a trip! You got this!

[@slick1ton849]

What is it about riding that brings out the goofiest side in us; random conversations, random noises; its weird but we all do it…..great video link!

Recently got a white & blue 23' drz400sm, that's how I found your channel

[@linksgarage1985]

[@linksgarage1985]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching!

[@sorenmelchior]

Love the content, as for my Style of riding… mostly dirt, running Dunlop D606’s front and rear on my DRZ “s” model. This combo works well for our under maintained roads, dirt roads, and trails here in interior Alaska. What brought me to channel was DRZ content.

[@linksgarage1985]

Hell yes! I’d love to go to Alaska man.

[@TRyanLearnBikes]

A slick fun ride along full of whitty bants .This is one of the main reasons I like your channel , the videos are funny as...and very entertaining. You asked your audience where they ride their DRZ's..Mine is a track only machine. I live very close to a roadcourse so it made sense to have a purpose built bike .No license or insurance required and bucket loads of laughs guaranteed . Oh..ya also ..great thumbnail man , well crafted.

[@linksgarage1985]

Man I always appreciate you stopping in. That’s one thing I’d like to do is learn to ride on a track. Just to dial in those fundamentals to become a better rider. One day I’d love to go to the SoCal supermoto school and document it all from a newbie standpoint.

[@TRyanLearnBikes]

@@linksgarage1985 My pleasure ,thank you . That would be a fantastic idea to get out to the SoCal Supermoto school .Those guys are so good ..Its just insane how talented some of those riders are . What a great video it would be if you could do that some time . Just looking at your ever growing sub count ....man you are getting soooo close to the 10 K milestone .Not long now man !

I avoid highways like the plague on mine, mostly ride the same stuff you do here in TN. I got 50/50 Shinko 244s on mine, think I'm going to put street tires back on when these wear out.

[@linksgarage1985]

I’ve been debating shinko 705s. But not sure I ride off road enough to justify a set .

great stuff brother .

Inprefer back roads but animals and random crazy drivers is scary. Highway main roads are good to open up but more cars to deal with

Hey Link do you have a tutorial on your vlog setup? You've inspired me to start my own channel on my DRZ

Are you still running the stock 15-41 sprocket combo? I picked up an S over the winter that’s stock 15-44 and was wondering about having an on-road vs off-road setup to get the top-speed up a bit for longer trips

When replacing the silencer, it is necessary to reconfigure the carburetor?

I would. If you are adding exhaust or opening airbox, it will run best re jetting the carburetor. Thanks for watching!

Alright, Link is back in the DRz saddle complete w/ all his audio blisseses(noise). But I'm diggin' it. So did you create all the artwork/color schemes on your bike? Some bikes are kinda "vanilla" & I'm pretty sure yours is an original? The police can do the explaining after you prove who your are thru your complete DNA History....it may take some time but they'll feed you? Turtle Patrols....lmao, next time ya take the turtle & throw him in boiling water, then eat him just for those people. How's that for the "wrong direction"? Thought so. Your amusingly unconventional and idiosyncratic sound effects got me stuck here, better understood as, "zany" antics caught me after I saw DRz in a title. High-Fivin' the little one = peace man

[@linksgarage1985]

Thanks man! And I found the color scheme. I wanted just purple. But I stumbled across this one. I’ve never seen another one that’s looks like it. Being different is cool. Defy the norm

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

Different is cool. kool, or even kewl..... your fingerprints are on everything. So did you do some artwork & send it into a vinyl stickers type place or cut out decals w/ scissors? I guess there's different ways to do things & if I get any new bike I'm pulling all the plastics off her, wrapping -n- boxing those. Then creating a design/art motif to put on a 2nd set of plastics in my fav colors. Save the new plastics for resale of the bike. Just sayin' that's my plan. peace
