[QUOTE="CAB, post: 73785, member: 16756"] I have 1700 mi. of singletrack and rough two track on my DRZ 400E. Great bike, as stated above. Nervous at higher speeds, but perfect at low speeds over rough trail. Stock motor is great, and stock muffler is very quiet. If you're taller than about 6 ft., I'd invest in a new top triple clamp or the thumper racing bar risers. Be aware that there are many reported cases of countershaft seal failures and I have had one go. Like most the other failures reported, mine leaked the week after a very muddy ride. I didn't wash the bike, and sure enough, I lost the seal. Now I've removed the countershaft cover and always wash the bike good after a mud ride to keep the countershaft clean. Also, many DRZ's have a slow drip of coolant from the bottom of the waterpump cover. I've replaced the o-ring, but it still leaks. Not a big deal as I lost about 4 oz. of coolant in 1600 mi. of hard riding. I'm going to hi-temp seal it after this weekend's ride. Overall, a good bike and I don't see anything on the market that is the equivalent to the DRZ right now. There are better choices for racing (KTM) and very fast riding (WR), but the DRZ is a great trail bike. [/QUOTE]
