Sef, can I hire you as my lawyer next time I need one?
In your listing you say its a SM.. So it has to have supermoto 17 inch wheels and the upside down forks yes ?? Otherwise its not a DRZ400SM..
Then you ALSO state "Yoko Super 7 rims (21' & 17") plus offroad tyres" So it has a set of dirt wheels right ?? Or just rims and tires and no hubs ?? Or is it not a DRZ400SM after all this ?? I mean really... Its not going to turn out this isnt even an SM and its a DRZ-S or something ??
I have no idea why I dont see the picture.. theres no 'attachment' for me.. Lew also stated he cant see the picture or pictures. Logged out and logged back in, has no effect. Codecs all up to date and fine and anyway JPEG image files wouldnt need a codec.
There you go back at it again. You said you knew the bike now you pretend you don't. An SM comes with 17' wheels yes. If you buy a Porsche and put RUF wheels on is it still not a Porsche??
So you know the bike and that it's an SM and what that means.
Hopefully you can read unless someone is reading for you and you quoted the word tyres out of the original post so this is just you trying to stir s**t as usual. Good luck.
Notice you did not admit or deny to being a septic. Interesting. Ashamed?
While CODEC is usually thought of as in terms of video or motion, Jpeg still uses one. As you have been wrong about most things I thought I would suggest something to you as it is only a standard .jpg file. Based on everything else I expect you can see the pic but cannot help yourself stir.

+1 Johnny. It was almost worth reading that thread to see obfuscation used in the correct context. You had me reaching for the dictionary with that one Sef!
So much confusion.. Has to rank up there for listings full of holes. So its a supermoto thats no longer in supermoto trim !! Like if you buy a RUF porsche, take all the RUF bits off it, and return it to stock, is it still a RUF porsche ??
So to ask again as I cant tell if your avoiding the question even tho you criticse anyone who makes assumptions.. This is the SM spec, with upside down forks, and a large front brake rotor, thats been converted to dirt wheels ?? But only on the front wheel ?? So to put it back to a fully SM spec it just needs a new 17 inch front rim and new tires ??
And your running 21/17 (very odd.. 21/18 is dirt wheels.. 21/19 is motorcross.. 17 are super moto.. What tires can you even get in 21/17 as a set ??) ??
Not a bit of it.. I am a pikey.. Septic would be an upgrade.
Not only I dont see it, you might notice Lew doesnt also.. In fact no one responded they could see it only Lew saying he cant.. Also when you quote a post with a successful attachment in it using this forum software you get the {ATTACH=CONFIG]99999[/ATTACH} VbCode (without curly brackets).. But if I quote your first post of that sales thread it doesnt come up.. I am wondering if your upload failed ??
Can you just repost it and some others.. The lad whose potentially interested wants an SM bike, is based in bangkok and needs some kind of plate (or I would suggest Max's Husky for performance).
Lastly.. As the book is unreliable, and the frame numbers modded.. How do you know its an 06 ??
Correct about just change the front rim and tyres to go back to SM specs.
The 21" tyre is as what was available in the IRC calogue. Pretty sure the front brake is SM spec. but will have to check it
Only you said the stamp has been changed because you do not seem to understand that a frame number and a vin number are not always the same depending on country of manufacturer. Over here it is common practice to use the frame number as a vin when there is no plate which is why I believe some of your vin decoding has delivered some weird results.
I can't see the pic of the bike in the original thread as i posted on that thread. Still can't see it on that thread.
SM is IIRC 310 MM.. Dirt is 240 i think.. It am guessing its just be the optical effect of the 21 rim making it look smaller and now I can see the forks are really SM (could have answered instead of just complaining.. Or even could have just reposted the pic as Chris just did, days ago then it would have answered most of it straight away) you would assume (dangerous) it has to be as the SM has a larger radial mount point from the brake caliper. Its easy to add a spacer to the dirt forks and go out, much harder to go in on the SM forks so would think it has to be.
I wasnt asking you about the 21.. Obviously the odd size combo is the 17 rear tire ?? A 17 / 21 rimset ?? Really ?? Most unusual choice. Especially as my 17 rim is way rearward of the second brake line holder, but slight angles do sometimes do weird tricks. I didnt even know IRC made 17 inch dirt tires. 18/21 is the norm for dirt spec, oddball choice to go different.
But I already posted how to decode a suzuki frame number.. All DRZ's, in fact all suzuki motorcycles follow that system and in those bikes frame does = vin. But now you finally admitted its a modified frame number to fit a recycled book thats moot.. It just took a long time before you would come out with it.
I have forwarded the pic over to the lad in bangkok.. But when you stack it up with other recently sold grey books, like hassemans with both SM and dirt wheelsets, big bore, hot cams, FCR carb and a petchaburi plate at 145k asking.. Its certainly no longer cheap, that impression was based on legit book and 2 wheelsets. Still hes keen for an SM needs a book and doesnt know the market well. Will see what he says. You dont seem like the bargaining type.
Drz frame numbers comply to the information I listed.. in the Suzuki bike world frame number equals vin number. That is exactly how you decode them.
I have never seen a motorcycle which did not have matching frame and vin numbers. Care to give me an example ??
Still sure on your wheels ?? Someone fitted a 17 rear ?? You seem to fight to not answer any thing.

You did not even say when and where that Hasseman bike was sold from etc.
.....................................................................................So to recap your listing..
This is a DRZ400SM.. Except its not longer a supermoto !! Why because the wheel were changed? If you take your "scary" CB to the track and change wheels is it still a CB??
It now runs 17/21 dirt wheels.. Except they are 18/21 !! Honest mistake and admitted plus you have a 1' size complex. Why?
It makes 48 bhp.. Except its making probably mid 30s !! You are comparing publicly estimated crank HP against dyno readings a tthe rear wheel
It weight 119 kgs.. Except its 140 !! Public web site quoted dry weight vs actual full wet weight
It has a legit green book.. Except its a bent Petchaburi plate and frame mod! Only because you do cannot understand the difference between vin numbers and frame numbers even though you know Suzuki has a frame number decoder.
This can be checked out by your family in senior management at Chiang Mai DoT.. Except when they are family friends not family !! Suggested we get your bikes checked out until you admiited they are bent
:LOL
Earlier in the thread I said "I dont understand how so many owners dont know their own bikes and paperwork" but I have to say.. This is a new level.. Good job theres a DRZ brain trust to keep digging at facts that dont add up, until the real facts are shown huh ?? Otherwise really dumb stuff could get posted and no one would get called out on it.. Except by self appointed morons maybe?
I think my work here is done.

"The comment by Brake034 hits the nail on the head once again. Thanks B."
This was your ENTIRE reference to brake's post - and here you explain that you were only referring to a part of his post'
"Bob: I was quoting Brakes' reference to the sale being railroaded nothing else. If you read something and make an assumption the "you make an Ass out of u and me"
I guess that it is always someone else's fault for not understanding what you mean when you fail to explain things completely, eh?
