Alright let me step in lol in the SM has been in production since 2005 (this is my favorite bike of all time) overall the motor and frame is 2000... I’ve owned 4 of them (few stolen and I liked the color better of 2019) all you need is a stiffer rear spring, the baffle out the stock pipe and a rejet at least then it’s a totally different bike!

They’re carbureted because it’s grandfathered, if changed to FI it would have to meet EPA regulations, which it wouldn’t.

What do you mean it’s grandfathered? Could you explain in more detail why this bike is carbureted instead of fuel injected? I’m kinda new to bikes and from what I hear fuel injection is superior to carburettor so why didn’t they upgrade?

Duke Nukem it means that when the bike was made it conformed to emissions, as long as they don’t change it in any way it can be sold like that for as long as people will buy it. Yes FI is superior to carbs for the most part. There are some who like carbs because they are mechanical and easier to work on in the field.

@@grumpysquid If you are looking to convert a bike to supermoto. Any dirtbike will do, may it be a 250cc or 500cc. You could even supermoto a 2 stroke if you want. Keep in mind converted Supermotos like a Honda Crf450r, Ktm 450 exc, Ktm 500 exc, Yamaha wr450f etc etc Are at the end of the day racebikes which means they are as light as possible with the most power. Which means maintance is rated in hours, and trust me it can be alot if its yout only bike. Like oil changes is like every 10-15 hours. You could also buy a Drz 400 which is a supermoto with a street engine which makes, maintance go into regular miles. Other examples Yamaha Wr250R, Wr250X, Honda Crf 250L (not the 450L), Ktm 690 Smr, Husqvarna 701 Smr. (The 690-701 probably the every day use bike cuz they are modern supermotos with all the stuff you could need, but can be pricey)

I love the salesman techniques in this video by Alex: carbonation vs fuel injection = _"if it ain't broke don't fix it"_ No ABS vs having ABS = _"...it's a light bike so why would you need ABS"_ The ugly mirrors vs nice looking mirrors = _...oh, those are "like old school duel-sport style"_ Need more power? Don't get a different 650cc bike. Get a _"big bore kit" plus other parts and spend more money. on & on... You are good sir!! Bro you could sell sand to a Saudi Arabian.

No salesman techniques, just honest opinions from a guy that has owned plenty of fuel injected and carb bikes, and never had a problem with either. Plus I have a bike with ABS, and have had at least 20 bikes without...and I don't think its necessary unless you're on a heavy touring or sport touring bike. Just opinions, thanks for yours though! ;-)

Very much appreciate the criticism and feedback, it was a review from an honest and realistic standpoint as a lot of mine tend to be. I try to keep them concise and just educate my viewers on what they are getting, then let people try the bikes to make their own minds up! That being said this is also older, and as I continue to make them I continue to try to improve using feedback like yours, so again thank you!

Got a 2020 for my first bike a couple weeks ago. Grey and blue. It's a decent bike. Hard to find a group to ride with around here I can keep up with though that have similar powered bikes... Hope to find a group of Groms or something 🤣😭 Everyone rides big Harleys and Super Sports 😭 Also the crack heads want to see wheelies and I can't do those yet 😕

The lack of EFI after all this time is still puzzling to me, but from Suzuki's point of view I think they believe that EFI would raise the price even more, and people continue to buy them year after year even with the carb so I suppose they figure "keep making it the way it is" hahaha

Not that slow when you rev out every gear, just bought a new 2022 , broke it in nice and slow by the manufacturers recommendation; now I’m over a thousand miles and I rev the S- - t out of it, had a 2009 Yamaha wr250 that I rev the Sh- out and the drz400 is faster; I change my oil at break in period of 500 to 600 miles then every 2,000 miles and my oil is always fresh when I change it. Trust me when I say I make that motor work. I never hold the rpms high, I just hit the limits for a split second frequently lol. She be popping. Love my drz400 sm

Suzuki is using a LOOPHOLE to get around EPA requirements, that's why no Fuel Injection!!.........if they go Fuel Injection, or change Anything Mechanical on the bike, they must Totally redesign the bike by law, put Catalytic Converters, etc.......and price will likely hit $10k. It's basically a huge undertaking to totally redesign a bike, it costs Way more than people think. I heard they are finally changing the bike in 2023, but I don't know if that's a rumor.
