Suzuki DRZ400 engine rebuild 

this was so therapeutic to watch, loved the commentary.

After seeing the New South plate I looked your shop up and we are neighbours. Now I know where to take my DR if something like that happened. Nice video!

First-time viewer here. Excellent content and commentary. This style of video is educational and therapeutic. Well done. Like & subscribed.

nice job guys, i learned a few things, i thought you would use a solvent soak and ultrasonic cleaner on the valves but your way works good. i also never used a wrench on a philips head like that, thats a mental note to keep. i also gotta say, the farkles are kinda cool, im guessing you dont wanna do the see-thru stuff on a e/s model if you plan on taking it off-road. thanks for the video and explanation

Loved the video! Can you drop a link to the new cylinder head? My head looks just like yours did on the exhaust side as well.

How much would it cost to have something like this done on a similar model bike like a (2003 Kawasaki KLX400SR) that would share the same parts as a (2003 DRZ400)?

So what about all the oil you got on the head gasket from when you oiled the rings?

If you don't mind- how much was the bill? thank you and very impressive work

Do you find that these engines make a lot of noise? Idling is one thing but while under load? I got a top end harmonic vibration /buzzing that may be normal? This is my first 4 stroke dirt bike and I have no idea how it's supposed to sound. I'm used to two strokes. With the stock exhaust you can really hear all the moving parts and some people online say it's "normal". It runs great but maybe the valves need adjusting? It only has 6,000 miles on it. Stock cam chain adjuster seems good, no excessive ticking. Thoughts?

Mine burns about 1/2 qt every 1000miles since new but I just switched to full synthetic seems to help a bit

I have a couple of these no chance, pulling the top end apart without yanking the engine out of the bike

I would think you could just buy a new top end and a ring kit and some gaskets pull the top off. Throw some cams in there clean the cylinder through the rings on the piston or maybe pull the wrist pin. Get a different jug do a big bore.

Thanks!

Very nice video 👍

I enjoyed this video

You forgot to put the top cam chain guide. Everything else is awsome

can you give a link or the name and manufacturer to the Gizmo Tool?

music and the sound of the drill tool a bit too loud... the rest was great to watch

subbed 👌

I love all the comments. Arm chair mechanics. You all realized this video is edited and not a how-to right?

Black silastic is superior.

VERY KOOL BUILD!!
