How do you test a DRZ400 Rectifier?
4) Regulator / Rectifier testing – remove the R/R from the bike. You can test the internal rectifier diodes. Put your digital meter on diode check and follow the meter test instructions. Check red wire to yellows wires then reverse the test leads.
Does the DRZ400 have an alternator?
The 200 model DRZ400E has a 200 watt output alternator and the 400k is supposed to be a 150 watt output.
What does a stator do on a dirt bike?
Simply put, a stator works together with a rectifier regulator to accomplish the same outcome as an alternator—to generate the DC power required to operate the motorcycle, ATV, side-by-side, etc. The stator is the coil of wire housed inside the engine case.
Can a Suzuki drz400e be left on too long?
The DRZ400E comes with a keyed ignition, and leaving the key on for even a short period can and will drain the battery. We feel the lights should be wired into the charging system with only the starter drawing from the battery. We?re getting on in years and tend to forget where we left the key.
How much voltage does a drz400 battery gain?
IMPORTANT NOTE: wiring of the regulator/rectifier directly to the battery is commonly known as the “free power mod”. The DRZ400 factory wiring loom is subject to losses, wiring the regulator/rectifier DC output directly to the battery will gain approximate 1.0 volts to 1.5 volts in the DRZ400 electrical system.
Which is faster Suzuki XR400 or Suzuki DRZ-E?
An unstopped WRF with YZF cam timing is faster than the stock DRZ400 on top, so the Suzuki falls between the XR400 and WR400 in top-end power. Ours being an electric-start model, it has a couple of differences from the non-E. The DRZ-E has a longer left crank to clear the starter clutch and larger charging system.
How much does it cost to service a Suzuki DRZ?
Pleasingly, it is very easy to home-service and just £80 will secure you a full service kit including an air filter, which is worth swapping fairly regularly as off-road use does see the Suzuki inhaling a fair amount of muck. The fact there are so many DRZs still plodding about the UK’s trails tells you all you need to know.

What does it mean when DRZ wont start?
It is now having a different starting problem. When I go to start it, sometimes it will start straight away, and sometimes absolutely nothing happens, it doesn’t turn over, nothing. I’m thinking it may be an electrical problem, but I thought I’d see if anyone has had a similar problem and could give me any clues on where to start looking.
What’s the difference between kick start and kick start Suzuki DRZ E?
The DRZ-E has a longer left crank to clear the starter clutch and larger charging system. Also, the kick-start model has a hot-start button, and the E doesn?t.
