My Favorite DUAL SPORT & ENDURO Mods, Farkles, & EDC (DRZ 400) o

Рет қаралды 347,022

Күн бұрын

These mods are on a DRZ 400, but can be used with any dual sport or enduro motorcycle. As always, these farkles are dirt cheap and tested in the crucible of enduro in Southern Utah's badlands.
See everide.org for more!
I also show some EDC (every day carry) items that I don't go riding without. If you have any suggestions for lightweight additions, please let me know.
And now for the list of mods/farkles covered in this video, complete with links to purchase at the lowest price and chapter markers to jump to in-video!

I agree that the Seat Concepts reskin is a great upgrade. From my decades worth of touring experience the dished seat option from Corbin probably would have been a better bet but I couldn't justify the price tag for a negligibly better (on paper) seating option given that the DRZ's stock seat was good for me up to about mile 400 of +700 mile days. The 15 year old stock foam that was weathered and crumbling on my DRZ just was no longer up to the task during my last long tour. Honestly, IMHO the worst part of the stock seat is the rearward can't when sitting close to the tank. Even cutting the hump out from the front portion of the seat near the tank so that there's more of a forward cant into the tank when the bike is unloaded made the stock seat so much more comfortable.

One of my favorite mods on my DRZ400S is a Headlight Control Module from Fast Eddy Sports. It is a small adapter pigtail that allows me to leave my headlight off when I start my bike and while I ride the forest. To turn it on, I just flip to high beam and back to low. It is great since my battery is not lighting my headlight while trying to start.

Id suggest putting a kick starter on that bike!!! If you are going out alone its an absolute MUST have on your bike. All models the "E' "S" "SM" can all have a kick starter installed.Batteries can fail, especially the stock drz battery. To that the obvious answer would the the tried and true "bump start" right?? one would hope, but I find personally most of the instances where my bike stalls out, the bike is in a position where it would be very difficult to bump start it if your battery or starter were to crap out on you. I still carry jumper cables when I ride (always packed with the essentials). they are light and easy to install. I kick start my bike all the time for fun and to lighten the load on the battery. Its simple insurance, cheap parts , easy to install. although depending what oversize tank you use, you might have some clearance issues but that can be solved with a shorter kick starter.

Great Video! Can you do a video that goes into specifics about how you have wired your electronics? Specifically, how did you run your wire fort he 12v adapter? Where did you connect it to the power source? Do you feel like you need to upgrade your stator?

eveRide ADV Bill Punkoney, According to www.paochow.com/DRZguide the stock DRZ puts out a maximum 200 watts of power with only about 60 available watts at any given time. See my previous post for how to run without the headlight. I ran my 12V adapter direct from the battery so that I can use it without the key in the ignition. Handy for charging things overnight. Be sure to use an inline fuse or tap in after the main electrical fuse.

Add a roll up splint, also called a Sam splint, to that first aid kit. They are very useful and rolls up pretty small.

If you want to make the Dual Take mirrors absolutely rock solid put a piece of heat shrink tubing on the mirror ball, heat it up, cut of excess - I've never had an issue with sagging even on the worst of washboards.

I can personally attest to the JB weld on a side case.... My buddy bought a drz and between his 5'4" and his wife's 5' 2" they dropped it 5 times before putting the shifter through the case. I came over pulled the alt cover and jb welded his cover and its still holding over 2k miles and 8 months later! although i did have to hammer the edges closer to sealing the cover, sanding the entire area of the whole and 1/4" out, and jb weld with setup of over 12 hours.

...I'm watching your new upload because I enjoy your vlogs and I love bikes, even though I'm more black/white off-road/street kind of guy (the EXC has plates only for the occasional black top stint, never more than just a few miles) and am not an ADV guy. But surprise surprise! Mr. eveRide had some info for me! I've got the S5 Active too, and I never thought of using it on the bike (except in the back pack... ) until this video. Good tip, and I will be using it (this spring... ). Thank you eveRide! P.S. I love Black Widow. I have a crush on your bike, just so you know. I've never had room or real reason for a DRZ, but I've always liked them. They're very cool bikes. Especially one as well festooned as the Widow.

gncc1race Festooned! I like that word :D Glad you found something helpful! I REALLY like having the S5 up there where I can see it and have easy access to my mapping software. That phone has so many adv things you can do with it it's insane... it needs its own video!

Very nice run down. If there was only ONE thing I would say to add to your "survival gear"... it would be a water filtration system. I use a Gravity Works system from Platypus that will clean about 2L of water a minute with no pumping... or can be used as a simple filter straw. Tablets/Powder/chemical water cleaning is slow (average 30 minutes before you can drink it), and tastes like yuck yuck. Rule of 3s... 3 minutes without air.. 3 hours in harsh conditions (too hot, too cold)... 3 days without water.. 3 weeks without food.

@eveRide 9 жыл бұрын

I SOOOO agree! I've seen those life straws and those things are super light and would fit nicely into the kit. Man your rule of threes sounds like... brutal! Those are the limits before death, right?

@TWiGsADV707 9 жыл бұрын

Yeah... the Rule of 3s is our average limits before death. We are tender beasts in a harsh world, but we can control our destiny like none other. The great thing about the Gravity Works kit is you can take as much or as little of the kit as you may need or want for the trip. Just carry the filter and short tube to use as a filter straw (works better than the life straw stand alones) ... or take along the dirty and clean water bags with you for cleaning more water, faster. When my family hikes and camps, we will hang and use the system like a camp sink. And not having to pump one little squirt of water at a time beats those pump filters any day. Not "cheap".. but WELL worth it, especially when you find out your friends didnt pack enough water like ya told em too. ;P www.amazon.com/Platypus-6951-2L-GravityWorks-Filter/dp/B00A9A2HKM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423171854&sr=8-1

@@TheDirtyyoungman1 the damage done by TQ is more myth than reality. Before GWoT, we were trained to rarely use the TQ because of the perceived injuries it would cause, since then, it's been proven that it causes far less damage than bleeding out does and is about on par with compression bandages. You will want to have more than a few rolls of gauze for packing wounds to apply sufficient psi to stop an internal bleeding injury. QuickClot gauze is far superior to the old granuals and doesn't cause the thermal damage the old stuff does. Look for the better gauze that has the X-ray detectable threads so it doesn't get missed... I like the CAT tq's for ease of use, durability and effectiveness. Yeah they're @$30 but I've seen the lesser and chicom counterfeits fail under use. Get legit first aid and don't be cheap. What's you life worth.
