2001 Drz 400 Suspension- Hate It

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Poolman---------------------

I have a 2001 DRZ and HATE the suspension! Front end "pushes" bad, shock dosent absorb bumps or whoops well. Who does anyone recommend to have the suspension done? I am looking for "plushness" with minimal bottoming. Has anyone had work done by Scotts Performance? If so, what did you think?

Thanks-

Hi,

I don't have a drz but have ridden them a few times. I rode a stock bike and hated the suspension. It bottomed out on everything and was way too soft for the woods. I later rode my buddies drz that had a RG3 revalve. The bike was completely different. I found myself at home on the bike and the suspension soaked up everything without bottoming. I don't know if he resprung it. He was about 170 lbs and I am 225. It still worked like a dream and made it capable for me too race one or ride it at speed with confidence. I would say that the revalve made it competitive with the stock KTM exc suspension.
