I am just about to change mine from standard to 14/ 47 which i am told is euduro gearing. I use the bike for trail riding.
stock gearing on my S
perfect for 2nd gear wheelies and 65mph cruising speed....mine is mostly road use.
but i still do the odd trail on it when the mood takes me...no need to change the gearing for off road imho
unless you are doing enduros on it

My 2nd hand 400E came with 15/50 gearing & as I use mine on the road a lot I've got to change it.
I wired in my GPS the other day & a true comfortable cruising speed is just under 50mph. I attempted to 'nail' it & got a max of 64mph!
Superb on the dirt but riding to & from the trails is a bit of a mare especially at this time of year when I'm holding up caravans.
What's the std gearing for the 400E? 14/47?
If so I wonder why the last owner went 1 tooth up on the front then 3 up on the rear?
50 tooth gold Talon in v.good condition for sale soon.

1 tooth on the front is roughly equivelent to 3 on the rear sprocket so your DRZ has standard gearing. The previous owner may have been expecting a longer chain life with the 15 frt. sprocket or swapping it for a 14 for more tech stuff.

Select DRZ preset values and then experiment with custom values. Hours of fun to be had!

I'm running 14-46 for off road and its feels about right.
15-40 with the supermoto wheels on, gets through the lower gears quickly and will pull upto 85/90 in top. Very buzzy though. Might try a 38 rear when I get around to it see if I can lower the revs for 70ish mph cruising.

i put 14/43 on, does 85 mile per hour, on the sat nav
still wheelys off the throttle in second,
and its ok off road for my needs,
these things need 6 gears really

Fitted a Renthal 48 toother this afternoon.
I'm mechanically sympathetic so I didn't redline it but 15/48 now sees 70.8mph (GPS)
That'll give me a decent cruising speed for the B roads between the trails.
My old 15/50 set-up saw 64mph (GPS)
I have a Talon gold 50 toother if anyone's interested. (fitted new by previous owner 31st Jan 2009 & has very little use) £12 posted.

and iv got a 51 toother, same price
For off-road, I agree. I was using 14/48 on my DR-Z and it felt fine.
I think that the idel gearing really depends on what you want to use your bike for.
