What kind of tires do I need for my drz400?
Just picked up this sweet, stock 2009 DRZ400S with only 1900 miles on it. Never been in the dirt (until yesterday) and is totally stock. Been looking over better tire options than the Trail Wings that came on it and notice that the exact OEM sizes are not available in some pretty good 50/50 tires.

How big is the battery on a Suzuki drz400?
DRZ-E owners can add the insurance of a back-up kickstart kit (MSRP $199), as the battery is a tiny, sealed 6.5-Amp unit that rides under the left side panel (calling for a different rear fender than the un-E). Suzuki left the kicker off of the E to save weight. Suzuki obviously took great pains to make the DRZ400 handle better than the WRF.

RM250 calipers grace the DRZ wheels, and the front disc is 250mm, while the rear is 220mm. Brakes are excellent at both ends, although the rear end chatters on downhills. The RM250-style brake pedal has a folding tip. Good stuff.
