How to reduce front sprocket wear on Suzuki DR-Z range
On suzuki's DR-Z range, the front sprocket is covered behind and enclosed panel. This panel doesnt allow for mud to exit, and builds up causing excess wear to the chain and sprockets.
One way to fix this with out discarding the cover is to cut slots into it. You will notice that their are 3 moulded slots running diagonal across the cover. Using an approximate 8mm drill bit, drill a hole in the both ends of each of the slots. Use a rats tail/round file to file out the material in between the 2 holes. It does not require much effort to file.
Re-fit the cover, it now will allow dirt build up to exit, access to the sprocket with the hose for cleaning and for inspection, and looks really good aswell!

There is a possibility that one (or both) of the cams may be one tooth out of time. Remove the head cover and spark plug then put the piston on TDC compression and check the cam gear alignment marks on both gears.

This is a classic short circuit. Go to the fuse that is blown and follow the lines looking for bare wires or burn marks. If you find it, put another fuse in switch it on and watch the fireworks. If no fireworks, then that is not it. Yes a blown relay or even coil could cause this, but it is more likely that they have blown because of some other fault.. This baby is all trial and error until you isolate the cause. No DRZ400E manuals available but fossick through any way, you might find something to give you a guide. http://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp
BIKE IS NOT CHARGING,DOES THE CDI BOX HAVE
Hi bradley
The CDI box is the Capacitor Discharge Ignition system for creating spark at the spark plug and does not charge the battery. When you say it is not charging, are you able to measure the voltage across the battery with the engine running at 2500 rpm. If it is charging it will run to at least 14.5 volts. The headlamp should also be nice and bright, and a noticeable increase in brightness when revs are lifted from idle.
If it does not, then you have a problem with the bikes alternator, or the regulator that controls the charge rate. Also check the fuses for failures, and general tightness of the battery connections and wiring about the battery and frame earth. If it appears to be charging, but the batt always seems to not be taking a charge and flat, then the battery itself may be the problem. They dont last forever and can often be the source of "no charging" issues.
Let me know how many volts you have at the batt terminals with the engine running.

Corbin should make the aftermarket seat for your bike. You can reach them on line at www.corbin.com. Hope this helped..
Engine oil getting mix to
If you are riding a dirt bike you probably have a leaking water pump seal allowing transmission oil into the antifreeze. If the motorcycle is a four stroke street bike the leak is probably in the head gasket.

hi this sounds like you fuel to air mix, and can be adjusted by a screw type knob at the side of the engine, turn this until it idles at about 1000 rpm, ( that's if your motorcycle is a 500cc or more) if this does not cure it, then the carburettor will have to be balanced...hope this helps
I have just replaced the
Try spraying a little starting fluid into the combustion chamber (not much) and see if it trys to kick over. If it doesn't, it could be the CDI module or coil. If it does it's probably not getting fuel past the carb.
"Pull the plug, pour a cap full of 20w50 in. Drain the carb and blast the air box with carb cleaner. Put it back together and give it a try".

How do you change from
You need not to replace the entire instrument when converting from mph to kph. You can basically replace the speedo face with a mph to the one with mph dial.
There are manufacturers of MPH to KPH dial faces for hundreds of different models,
Where is the rectifier located on my 2004 suzuki katana 600
Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.
