Hey all! SM Rookie here!

[ShawnCT450R]

Brand new to the forum, and brand new to the SM group. Just purchased an 07 DRZ400SM from a friend of mine. Here is the background. He bought it in 07 and threw a bunch of cash at it. Removed all the yellow stuff and replaced it with black. Bigger tank. Fatbars. ASR levers and perches on both sides. FMF Q2 full pipe w/ jet kit. 3x3. Tail kit with lights and blinkers all the way around. Cyclopes headlight. Clark gas caps (2 - one is black / one is billet aluminum). Can't see $h!t mirrors. Lots of other little stuff.

I just received the SDG seat from the big brown truck today and put it on. Waiting for the black fork protectors to show up and it will be complete.

Great forum here. Been lurking for the last week or so picking up some info. I look forward to learning alot and making a bit more power in the future.

very nice looking and clean bike...welcome!

[wholigan?]

Good idea he had, changing the color plastics.....because BLACK IS FASTER THAN YELLOW

Welcome, nice looking bike.

[Souperfly]

Everyone knows that black AND yellow is the fastest!

Welcome from South Eastern Indiana.
How about yourself?
I bought the Black 08 version but really
considered finding a leftover 07 new or used yellow one.
Check out this portion of the forum (Suzuki), lots a good people here with good tips and suggestions.

Did someone mention my name, "smrookie?!!"

I am sure you will like the bike. But first things first. I would get some lower fork gaurds before you get some rock chips in the lower fork legs. Rock chips will result in blown fork seals.

Hehehe Thanks for loaning me your Nickname smrookie, for use in this post only of course. You'll get royalties for all further uses.

Thanks Josh. The day after I took the pics, the fork protectors showed up in the big brown truck and they went straight on.
