On the other hand, I see no point in gearing it so tall that you're basically hoping to have the bike idling down the freeway at 75mph and having big gaps from gear to gear. When you're sport riding, that can be annoying, too. What I have used is a stock 15-tooth up front and 38-tooth and a 39-tooth rear sprockets. 14/42 is about equivalent to 15/45. It's shorter than stock S gearing, and many people ride the S on stock gears in technical terrain just fine. With something like an auto-clutch, a ratio in this range would be a non-issue for crawling along in any terrain. Im thinking about buying a drz 400 and I want to be able to go on fire roads and single tracks comfortably while still being able to get on the freeway and go 65-75 without worrying about the engine. Does anyone have a gear ratio that can do this?

Hi _liam_ Great to see you got a DRZ, really from the type of riding it sounds like you will be doing there isn't any other choice. On my last DRZ I used to run the bigger front sprocket 15 up from a 14 and a smaller rear 44 down from a 47 this gives you the same gearing as the street version of the DRZ which will sit on 100km/h with ease.

The stock gearing on the DRZ-400 may work well on trail only use or for city driving, but is far too closely spaced to be practical for dual-sport or highway use. With the abundance of power adders available for these bikes, the close gearing becomes even more apparent. The addition of an ACT Wide Ratio Gear Set will dramatically improve the rider experience and wear and tear on the motor at the same time.

The stock DRZ400 mirrors are heavy, break easily and can prove costly to repeatedly replace. The double take mirrors are a great lightweight, durable option that conveniently fold away when you are riding bush tracks that can have branches catch the mirrors yep 14/47 is standard on the drz/e i have had this on 3 drz400's now. i find the gearing a bit high and with my rear sprocket and chain still good i am going to try a 13 on the front and see how it goes. went to the bike shops in echuca last week and no one had one in stock so i havent changed it yet. The E has 14/47 stock (I had two E's and an S model) and your S probably has 15/44. One in the front is like three in the rear, so that is a huge difference in gearing. I ran 14/47 on my S and could still go way too fast (80+) and first was still pretty tall in the dirt. Still, it is a good compromise, cheap and easy. One or two on the rear is
