This budget Suzuki DRZ400s adventure build needs a lot of work before it's ready to hit the Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route! In this episode, we will add a kickstarter, swap the clutch, fix a leaky fuel petcock, add a Tusk Excursion rackless luggage system and mount a powered GPS cradle for a Garmin 600 series GPS. Once all that is done, we go on an 80-mile test ride in Sedona, Arizona on the famous Schnebly Hill Road to see how it holds up.
This bike is a budget-minded adventure motorcycle build with the target total spend (minus riding gear, GPS system and camping gear) to be under $5000. The goal is to make this bike totally ready to tackle any of the Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR) out there and be very reliable while doing it. This bike will be put to the test on the Arizona BDR!
The Suzuki DRZ-400S is a classic dual-sport dirt bike that is tried and true, easy to work on and can cover miles some miles in adventure riding with the right accessories. It does have drawbacks but it's a great bike for offroad riding as it is not that heavy and has decent suspension travel.
