Kawasaki KLX description

Up for your consideration is my beloved 2003 Kawasaki KLX400 supermoto, aka "The Green DRZ". The bike has been modified, for both practical and general power boosts, from head to toe. A lot of time, money, and effort went into this bike, so my loss is your gain. It's unlike the majority of DRZ400SM's for sale on craigslist that are selling more for less just because they're newer. This bike is already set up for you to hop on and ride off - with the added bonus of already been modified. 

My history with the bike:
I purchased the bike in February, 2016, essentially, as a bike for my girlfriend to learn on, she's a novice, and for me have a bike to mess around town with. Since there was still snow on the ground, it became my project bike, and didn't leave my apartment living room (that was fun) for the following two months. I swapped a few parts, upgraded (see list below), and gave it a nice all-around boost in performance. Where you see the bike in the pictures is how far I've taken the bike. It hasn't left the community other for me to get gas down the road. She hasn't even driven on the road yet, and mainly putz around the community while I watch. 

Reason I'm selling:
I love the bike, I think it'd be a fun commuter for myself, but the bike is for her. She's a true beginner, has very little strength as it is and I don't want her to drop the bike and hurt herself or the bike, so I'm looking for a WR250x for her instead. I've owned one before to learn on myself, that's the bike she truly started learning on many years ago before I sold it, so it looks like I'll have to take a step backwards and get another one for her. The bike has been lowered considerably. The seat height is about 30-31" (with an additional drop in sag, depending on your weight). I'm 5'5-1/2", 185 lbs, and I'm completely flat footed. My girlfriend weighs lighter, about 110 lbs, so she's on the balls of her feet. I've kept the bike in great shape. Everything has been inspected (TLOCS every time before and after), tightened, adjusted, and set up so the bike is sound every ride, plus it has the added bonus of having all the additional upgrades for when she's out on the street and highway and exploring around. Unfortunately, we haven't gotten the opportunity to do that. 

Here's the list of modifications and maintenance:

Seat Concepts Complete Seat (low version)
DRZ2 KoubaLink Lowering Link (1-1/8" lowering version)
Tusk Universal Big Bar Clamp Kit & raised handlebars
Keihin FCR30 MX Carb (4hp gain)
Yamaha Raptor Petcock (ON/OFF/RESERVE)
Shrink and UV resistant racing (clear) fuel line from tank to Carb 
JDKH32 Conversion Kit
Yoshimura RS-2 full racing exhaust (all around gains)
Moto House Muffler Slider (full)
Steel Braided Front Brake Line
E3 Spark Plug
EBC Oversize 320mm Supermoto Big Brake Kit
EBC Brake Pads 
3x3 Air Box Mod
15/41 gearing
FZ09 mirrors installed with mirror riser adapters
Manual Cam Chain Tensioner
Seal Saver Zip-Ons (for easily removing off forks)
Aftermarket horn & horn relocation mod (behind headlight)
Outlaw Raching OR139 Reusable Oil Filter (forever reusable oil filter)
Stator and Starter Clutch LocTite Fix
Shorai Lithium-Iron Battery 
Eddie Sisneros Fan Override Switch & relocation mod
Pro Taper EVO 1-1/8" YZ Bend
Pro Grips 
Yamaha R6 Throttle Tube
Mishimoto Silicone Radiator Hose Kit (black) installed 
Devon Radiator Guards installed
UNI air filter
D.I.D chain 
Excel Takasago Signature Series Rims (the Excel Rims you'd actually want) with Talon Hubs
Trail Tech X2 70W Halogen Headlight 
Acerbis Universal Front Fender
Free power mod
Black zip-tie mod (that's right; all the zip ties are black. I'm that anal.)
Tucked in, covered with rubber hose & wrapped up as many electrical wires as possible for additional protection
New DRZ400 coolant reservoir
Aftermarket (wider) footpegs
SM speedo converter

Bike currently does not have radiator shrouds on them, since I just installed the radiator guards, but I do have them. If you updated the plastics, you'd essentially have a brand new bike.

Maintenance:
Valve Clearance Check was completed on 6/3/2016 - all clear
Coolant flushed and topped off 6/3/2016.
Front and rear brakes bled & replaced with Bel-Ray Super DOT-4 Brake fluid (completed on 6/3/2016)
Suzuki Coolant Temperature Thermoswitch replaced on 6/08 (peace of mind)
Suzuki Cooling Fan Thermoswitch on 6/08 (peace of mind)
Uni filter cleaned and lubed after every few rides (last cleaned 7/1/2016)
Tossed original radiator hoses and had them replaced with Mishimoto Silicone Radiator Hose Kit (6/15/2016)
Chain lubed with Mosul C5 chain paste every or every other ride 
Replaced any lose or previously stripped screw with new stainless

Additional:
I have a set of new uninstalled EBC rear brake pads that come with the bike as well. 

For those "vertically challenged", with the lowered forks, seat, and lowering link, the seat sits at about 30". It'll sag based upon your weight. Suspension adjustments can always be made for you on your own time. 

Pickup preferred. SHIPPING IS BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY. 

Any questions, comments, concerns, feel free to message me. I'll answer any questions I can promptly. Thanks!

Thu, 13 Sep 2012

After making a bold statement last year as the king of the hyperbike segment, there wasn’t much to complain about with the Ninja ZX-14R. With gobs of power, torque and all-around badassery, we liked the 14R so much we named it our 2012 Motorcycle of the Year. However, that doesn’t mean we didn’t have one minor gripe.
