Ask any DRZ owner about must-do Suzuki DRZ400 mods and the first thing they’ll tell you to get is case savers. The DRZ400’s engine case is made of brittle magnesium, so some additional protection is highly recommended to prevent engine-destroying damage and an expensive repair. There are many DRZ400 case savers options out there, and in this video I’ll walk you through the process of installing them using high-temp RTV silicone.
Thank you for joining me along the way as I add Suzuki DRZ400 mods to my setup. These case savers are going to give me a ton of piece of mind as I get out into the woods and onto the trails. Look out for more Suzuki DRZ400S content to come!

Why you recommend the clear silicone and not the red one ?
Hi, do you suggest disk gard?
I got Permatex Ultra Grey so it would blend in…need to mount the case savers on my DR650 this week.
Wow getting done up real nice..looking great fast. You got probably the most bulletproof dual sport that will serve you like a reliable best friend
New sub here…hoping to learn…interested in a DRZ myself.i have ridden a DR 650 and like it…it rides a little lighter than it is because it is lower to the ground…suspension needs help for serious off road work..
I rode little Sur-ron out to Albany mx today, ran into "Tom" (DR lover), who said that your new DRz would really love the JD jet kit he has put into a half dozen bikes.
I'm dying to go for a nice legal DZ ride.
Only 2 months until my license course.
( x _ x )
I am a fan of the channel. I was thinking this morning that now that you have the DRZ, you are going to lose all of your dork cred that you have established on this channel. So thankfully I waited til after I watched this video to comment because I see that you still got it. Thanks for the videos.
When I did mine it said 1/16th of an inch thick and leave a 1/4 inch space from the edge for compressed oozing. That's the secret of the ooze.
Who decided TRV silicon was best… ? I would think 3M double sided tape would give it more cushion.. hmmm…
out-takes are the best! 🙂
Enjoyed it massively – as always – and your (you know what line) saved my day again :o)
Best post credit scenes yet
Yes, but what does clear smell like? Us huffers want to know.
oh yeah i installed one of those first, suzuky has a terrible design on the rear brake lever
Now your bike should be called Grim Reaper. You can even splash your silicon all over the engine and tell everyone it runs on blood 😀
I bought a dr650 back in January. Absolutely love it, has a little more
Ass than the DRZ for highway use but is still an excellent off-road machine. Bit heavier than the DRZ but now that I'm used to it I don't even really notice it anymore.
I have a channel geared towards the DRZ. Take a look, won't you? https://youtu.be/Eg7KC278gS0 I love your vids buddy.Only thing is I would recommend clear rtv silicone…..
Lol. Your a funny dude. I never got the smell of Tabasco from rtv. And they make a gray rtv as well. Great video. And new camera working great I see
I was laughing the whole time! Especially the “shapes” part.
