Well, I wouldn't expect any issues, when you buy new bike... A few of my friends ride FS450, they seem to be quite reliable, when regular maitenance is provided - this is not DR-Z when you may not care about it as much. Hope you will enjoy it long time!

And what’s the best for more flow?

And for street the same?

How good do the stock DRZ SM Rims hold up on jumps etc. ? Do they bend or break easy ? Or are you using aftermarket rims ?

Good review

I'd want good quality pads on any bike..... stopping is arguably the most important function so having pads that work well & last are essential to safe riding, in my humble opinion. Thanks for the review. peace

DRZ or DR650 conversion or XR650 conversion or Husqvarna 510 msr?

Track pupper! I run $12 Rock auto brake pads on my truck, I won't skimp on Motorcycle pads though.

Obviously they suck))

Love to make it out to ride one day

Such a cool and concise advice Brian!! I’ll be going in pretty soon !!!

as someone who is getting into the "foot out" style but not coming from a dirt background, what is the actual benefits of having the foot out? i understand that most people say knee out vs foot out which is actually code for inside body position (motogp style) vs counterleaning. what does putting the foot out actually do? I know when i counterlean i do tend to start putting the foot out now but i wonder if i instinctive do it or am just trying to copy other people. also when you right turn you cant really foot out because of rear brakes, unless you have hand controls.

Yep. You only need to look at S1GP to see all styles. Old guard like Chareyre favour foot-out but new fast guys like Cortes are knee-down a lot and quite a few are neutral - even MRS. There's a huge upset in balance when you move on a SM - all that travel makes a big shift which slows you down I think. My crappy times were always better neutral, with a little knee (more head) coming out of long sweeps -just to get the gas on earlier.

Can I ask you if it’s worth if getting a supermoto? I’ve been really interested in one but I just can’t seem to pull the trigger. I’ve got three bikes right now, Sportster S, Z H2 and TNT135

The best advice ever. Lucky American mates who have the chance to attend your lessons in person.

Is there a traction disadvantage from raised foot pegs? With neutral / upper body leaned off position, there isn't enough room for the foot + footpegs at speed. I have to take my foot off the pegs, or the side of the boot and peg scrape the tarmac. The tires feel like they have grip remaining, there's just stuff in the way of carrying more speed pushing 60 degrees :-/

Are those dunlop q5s ?

Do they get lowered like a flattracker?

Question: does this advice apply to SM bikes on all tracks and roads, or SM tracks only?

I know the DRZ has been pretty much the same all these years.... looking at an 07... are there years to avoid or send it?

Hey what rear size tires is best 150/60/17 or 140/70/17 ?

120$ by the time Tarrifs kicked in, it will be 102 k Doll hairs :D We all be riding horses soon if the Government gets its way

Careful that might turn into the 2nd fastest production bike ever made!

I love my DRZ so naturally I had to subscribe to the socalsupermoto channel. So fun watching you guys enjoy the DRZ

This video should be attempted again 3 years later.

I’m 5’6 what’s the smallest 2 stroke supermoto

I'm just looking to buy a bike & the difference I see is the YZ is gonna require a lot more attention if I understood correctly? For the average dummy like me, changing oil & doing valve checks isn't my strong point. I think how road friendly & maint free it is is more attractive. If I wanted, "Fast"... I'd want the YZ. We like to compare but reliable & low maint is what most people want. Thanks for the videos, now I know you guys. peace

Which super moto/ dual sport do you think is close to equal to performance on and off road? I'm looking to do dirt riding with the family but I need to sell my xsr900 to help pay for machines and a trailer. I know I won't get the same street performance as the xsr but I want to get as close to it without sacrificing off road capability as well. I plan to run two sets of wheels and tires one for each discipline. I'm just trying to get as close to the best of all worlds as possible in terms of power, handling, and maintenence/ durability. I've been riding on the street for almost 20yrs but have little dirt experience. I'm also looking for fuel injecting so please don't say drz 😂

In other words, it comes naturally the faster you go and applying the same deceleration concepts you learned while at a slow pace :D Front Brake progressive and hard, your shifting down and releasing clutch gently, your rear wheel will get light, and as you turn your rear will step out :D technically on hard deceleration, rear brakes are usesles :D

That is awesome.

A KLX450SM would be killer…..

I do feel like as a beginner going for the hard braking then shifting your weight sorta off the bike to put your knees down makes the bike a bit unstable if you can’t do it smooth enough

I bought klx 300 n love it . I did shinko 244 on it n did 200 mile single track last year n also go to work all summer n on weekend go to long rides . Cheap n fun bike . For trail riding my gearing was 14 42 . For street 14 37 . I am 210 n my bike toped out 98 miles n can do highway 70 to 75 all day

Euro definitely feels more natural to me. Less effort, smoother, overall I’m quicker that way. Less crashing too lmao.

Inspired to be like him

How many rebuilds has it had?

I prefer feet on but I don’t stay neutral I move around, like you do with your foot out

Awesome to see

Instructions for how to enjoy life right here!

Well done Dave not easy to get that far- We will need to have a frosty soon !

Goals! Happy birthday young man! What a great way to spend it.

great video

I got a DRZ400sm and I love her. Does everything I need and a lil extra

Do you think a cheap full exhaust would be ok,do you recommend any filter air,just bought one and it seems choked by the stock muffler nice vid thanks

I think you should do this again, but the bars you have are mounted fairly low and really far back. Looks for some bar not quite so low, but even with the triple clamp. This setup should actually help you to get much more weight on the front. Your setup is so low and back, you have to sit up and hide from them. No weight on the front, and it won't steer. Just shop and get some cheap $15.00 steel bars for testing.

Does the e gasket and cams make a big difference?

Had a great time last weekend at Socal Supermoto school. Thank you, Brian, for teaching us some awesome new moto skills and making the class enjoyable.

I have a tw200 should I swap up to a TTR or one of these for Kart Track days.

Probably not everyone’s thing but I strapped 2 large sheepskins over the the original factory seat one on top of the other with a horse saddle gel pad underneath. Really comfy for wheelies and around town

Does this mean you kept a couple TRR's in the fleet? 🤞
