They are the same as the DRZ "E" model here.

Keihin FCR Both Suzuki 2003 kawasaki klx 400 Kawasaki sell their street versions of this bike in electric-start only, but with the same quality suspension components found on the off-road race models, including a fully adjustable shock and Showa 49mm conventional fork with cartridge internals. At approx.

I know this is basically the DRZ, but I'm trying to get some real-world feedback on issues like maintenance, power etc. Assuming this is a pre-owned vehicle, you are rolling the dice. Give it a thorough inspection and take it for a ride if possible. Could be a cream-puff or could've been a red-headed stepchild. As far as maintenance and reliability, spend time reading this forum and you should be impressed with what you find. The plastic is very green.

Both companies also sell a dual-sport rendition. It will pass California standards, but the dirt-only model we tested is a federal off-road model and thus a red-sticker bike that may be restricted to certain times of the year at some riding areas in California. Even in the completely stock and wonderfully quiet form, the KLX makes a very impressive 40 horsepower.

The seat height is not especially low, but the seat is soft and cushy. The rear of the seat slopes backWard, and that makes some riders feel as if they are sliding back under acceleration. Otherwise, the KLX is the off-road spiritual brother to a Cadillac: plenty of power, supple suspension and ample comfort. The steering is not really crisp, but like the Gas Gas, that has more to do with the seat and tank keeping the rider from getting forward than it does with frame geometry. At a trail pace, the KLX is super-plush, easy to ride and pleasant.

Many thanks for the help! I believe it was only offered in the US in I see where it was offered in Canada in Not sure about other countries? Anyone else want to chime in? Far as I have ever been able to find, the bike was actually only produced the one year I have seen aftermarket parts listed for the KLX over here that say they fit , but not certain if that is correct. I would not let date of sale, or date on the registration get confused with date of manufacture. While it's possible, one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world geared up a production line to build and export a few bikes to AU.. In then end to the user, who cares, it's a new bike, and the same build as any other DRZ.

Posted October 26, I plan to keep this bike for a long time and have had no mechanical issues as of yet. DRZ that is. It will pass California standards, but the dirt-only model we tested is a federal off-road model and thus a red-sticker bike that may be restricted to certain times of the year at some riding areas in California.

With a few mods the bike has plenty of potential.

When an aftermarket company can make one part and have it fit tons of bikes; they are more likely to invest in the tooling to make parts. Problems that I have had: I replaced the original Yuasa battery in June Dry Weight. Even in the completely stock and wonderfully quiet form, the KLX makes a very impressive 40 horsepower. And when new it was bought in a Kawasaki dealer and not a Suzuki dealer. Ground Clearance.
