Howdy [DR-Z 400]

[buggsubique]

G'day all, just doin a quick intro now that I've got myself a DR-Z 400:rockon: . Can't get enough time on the saddle after 2 years on a DR250!:scooter:

So the Q's:
1) Where can I get a spare key cut? (2th hand bike, only came with 1 key)
2) Who makes / stocks a good bash plate (ride the odd rock garden)
3) Anyone got any tricks/problems/funnies with the bike to watch out for from their own experience?

Cheers aye, Matt

get a key cut at any key cutter.
dont be a dumb arse like i was and went to a suzuki dealer and order the proper key then have to still get that cut. went to the key cutter and he said he had the same key without suzi logo for 4 bucks.

look on thumpertalk.com for heaps of tips for the ol drz.

Ah good tip mate. Been to one or two key places already without luck but will try around. Always keeping an eye on TT too, cheers.

Bash plate: bbaluminium.com in aussie make the best around.

Look at Kientech eng. in the states (google his website) for most of the DR bits to fix info.

Welcome to the dirty side (but elegant along with it) you've obviously got taste if you bought a DR............
