I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Can someone give me a basic rundown on how to set up stock suspension the drz400sm? I'm going to my first track day with the bike soon and I have no idea how it should be set, or how to set it.

That weezy sound is a little strange, I don't remember mine making that noise. Maybe pop the starter off and look for weird wear, inspect the connections, etc?

Yeah just shove the pistons back in a bit and you won't have any issues. If you wanted to go all endurance racer you could lightly chamfer the edge of the brake pads.

Yeah uh that's actually cheaper after inflation than the release price of the 690 SMC.

Throttle cam looks too wide.
I wouldn't buy any drz with work done, who knows how well it was done. You want power, buy a 690 SMC. You want something cheerful and unintimidating? Buy a drz. You want something a bit better than a drz but not as crazy as a 690? 610/630/690 SM.

With engine work I meant engine rebuild. Apparently things that were replaced in the engine rebuild were piston, valves, camchain, clutch plates and springs and some other bits. Also it has the manual cam chain tensioner. No bigbore kit or such. It has been driven for 10000km after the rebuild though.
If it needed a rebuild at that point something was seriously wrong with how the motor was treated, as they should do 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers) no problem with just basic maintenance. Of course, everyone runs them low on oil, forgets to check them, and then they explode.

It lugs if you're below 5krpm in higher gears, and then it's only 3k till redline. I find it easy to hit the limiter.
It really doesn't matter, honestly.

I test rode it twice, once in lovely PDX traffic right at 5pm, and again yesterday. I got to get up into the hills and open it up on Skyline and Germantown, two roads I know really well. It's definitely not a supermoto, it corners completely different obviously. However the seating position and ergonomics are really nice and not to far off of the WR. The added weight and difference in center of gravity is taking some getting used to, however you can still hustle the thing around corners MX-style, I just don't hang my leg out like I did before. So far I am really enjoying it. I don't dread taking the freeway now like I used to on the WR, which is nice.
I bought it today and put about 200 miles on it. I love it so far.
It just didn't quite mesh with me the way I expected, which is why I cautioned you - glad you're enjoying the bike.
It still does OK wheelies, even if I didn't mesh with it:

You're really best off creating a thread here and telling us what you're looking for change-wise - there's a lot of modding you can do to a motorcycle, depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. Without having some direction, you might just end up with us recommending you put apes on your sportbike.

Listen buddy the bike is perfectly fine as long as you replace a known bad part constantly that the factory won't stand behind until you get sick of it and upgrade to a Yamaha part.
I didn't know Yamaha made replacement doohickies

Just watch a few videos on YouTube and budget a bunch of time. A HF wheel balancing stand, or setting the chain off to the side, a nice spike wrench, and setting a reference item (zip tie!) to visually see runout on the rear wheel is all you need.
