From: mikko vimpari <mikko.vimpari@mail.suomi.net> Subject: (dr) 350 clutch cable Date: 01 May 2000 12:32:15 +0300 Hi Is there a clutch cable for the dr350, that would last longer than a year my cable just snapped, for a while after i put heavy duty clutch springs to my bike. Thanks in advance This next thing i'm gonna say just once, i got some bad post, which i deserved due my own stupidity and wrong choice of words. Let this to be clear, i'm not a hard drinker i'm a very normal guy by the standards anywhere in the world Thanks, case closed.

My bike is not stock, but still has the stock (metal) tank and stickers/numbers plates. It is starting to be referred to as a "cop" bike.

Date: 01 May 2000 12:36:12 EDT I'm going to bomb the list today... anyone feel free to answer any one: It's a DR350S 1. Removing the charcoal cannister... I'm fairly sure the cannister is purged at "high speed" so the manual says... is it OK to plug the carb pipe or not??? 2. Does anyone know what the adjuster (clicker) on the top of 87RM250 forks are for... rebound or comp.??? 3.I had the bulletin at one time and actually did the mod to my dirt DR350.. it was a choke circuit mod bulletin put out by Suzuki for the very early models.. anyone have that??? or am I confused and was it about drilling the pilot jet??

Typically this error was induced into the soignal to prevent terrorists (or whatever) from using our satellites. With this goverment-induced error, GPS accuracy has been about 200-300 feet. Tonite, the government will remove the error. Our Garmin rep estimates (and this is a guess) that accuracy of handheld Garmin GPS units will be about 20-30 feet. We will put more informatiopn on http://www.cycoactive.com/gps as soon as we get it Enjoy! Tom Remarks of Dr. D. James Baker Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere Administrator, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration On the Decision to Discontinue GPS Selective Availability May 1, 2000 Dr. Lane, on behalf of the Commerce Department, the Interagency GPS Executive Board, and the millions of GPS users around the world, I commend the President for taking this important step today -- a full six years ahead of schedule. Thanks in no small part to the President's policy, the U.S. Global Positioning System continues to be THE global standard for satellite-based navigation, positioning, and timing. The U.S. policy of free access to both the signal and the receiver design specifications has enabled users worldwide to embrace GPS and develop hundreds of applications and devices that no one dreamed of a few years ago. For example, farmers are using GPS to map fields and tailor applications of seed and chemicals, minimizing costs and contaminant run-off. Oil companies in Britain, Finland, and elsewhere are using GPS to identify drilling sites in the middle of the sea. And just a few months ago, a Japanese company unveiled a Dick Tracy-style wristwatch with a fully functional GPS receiver built in. Overall, the global market for GPS goods and services is booming, with sales to exceed $8 billion this year and $16 billion by 2003. Today's action will accelerate this growth by eliminating a significant impediment to the adoption and use of GPS. Within my agency alone, there will be significant benefits, including improved fisheries border enforcement; more effective search and rescue and hazardous spill response operations; streamlined weather satellite data processing; and better electronic navigational charting for ships. At other government agencies, the higher accuracy will improve responses to emergency calls from cell phones equipped with GPS for "E911" capability. Natural resource management agencies and emergency relief organizations will be able to map and manage floodplains, levees, wetlands, forests -- even individual trees -- using basic GPS without costly, labor-intensive GPS augmentations. The same is true for the management of highways and waterways by state and federal authorities. NASA will have more precise control over satellite orbits, improving scientific results. And International Space Station operations will be simplified, enhancing astronaut safety. Outside the government, businesses and individuals will enjoy an even greater range of benefits. More telecommunications firms will use highly precise GPS time - now even MORE precise - for synchronizing phone and data networks. Taxicabs, buses, commercial trucks, and railroads will improve as individual vehicles are tracked and routed more efficiently. Recreational hikers, boaters, and pilots will see an immediate improvement in the accuracy of basic GPS receivers, resulting in better situational awareness and increased safety. All of these benefits will come without any receiver upgrades or fees whatsoever. And now the really good news: today's action is only the tip of the iceberg for civilian GPS improvements. It's the first step in a long term GPS enhancement program that will add more civil capabilities to GPS every few years: a second civilian signal by 2003; a third civilian signal by 2005; nationwide and regional augmentation systems for safer land, air, and sea travel; and next-generation capabilities being dreamed up as we speak as part of the "GPS III" program. At this time, we will be happy to take questions from the audience. INTERAGENCY GPS EXECUTIVE BOARD IGEB Executive Secretariat 4805 Herbert C.

Did it wreck the bike? What do reindeerburgers taste like? I had a problem with clutch cables snapping at the engine end. It was due to the slot in the lever being slightly 'V' shaped and cutting into the cable inner. File it out flat and stick a dollup of grease round it.

Date: 02 May 2000 10:45:28 +0100 Iain/Bill I got the front mudguard I use from a breakers yard. I think it's from an XT660, but I'm not sure. It's held to the fork sliders by 2 car exhaust clamps, makes a BIG difference in stability in the wind and keeps all the shite off you when it's wet. Try riding deep mud and it clogs up very quickly. It just depends what you use your bike for, I guess. It suits me. The screen is called a Deflector from M&P http://www.mandp.co.uk/default.htm Into headwinds, rain and cold days it is well worthwhile. I take it off in the summer, but it's on the bars from Nov - April. Might not look too cool but it works! Also fits quite neatly behind the lip of the headlight assembly. I wear a street full-face rather than motox, mainly coz it's warmer and keeps more flies out of my face. I also use a 2-way radio riding with my mates, and it gives more sound protection to the mike.

I think that it looked great! My question is: does anyone on the list know of someone who might carry the black plastic replacement pieces available in the US, for mail order shipping? I have a friend with a paint shop, so I can get the frame and tank done there. What I am looking for are the front fender, front fairing-(around headlight), both side fairings, and the rear fender, (preferably one with a straighter cut). I am capable of minor modifications if need be, but would prefer something close to factory fit. Any ideas?

Date: 02 May 2000 20:10:16 -0500 Super Motard is something that grew out of a made for TV racing series from the 70's. The course consisted of dirt, pavement, and jumps. The series put some of the best riders from all aspects of racing on similar bikes, basically big dirt bikes with wide street tires, bigger brakes. It died out in America, but caught on in Europe, and is making a comeback here.

Entry forms will be in the upcoming newsletter going out early next week! Saturday will be an Adventure Tour suitable for two up, beginners, people with big dual sport bikes (KLR, BMW, Triumph, etc)and those that just want to ride and explore on some very scenic paved and dirt roads in the area. The Saturday ride includes a scavenger hunt game where you can participate and win prizes like a gear bag, camelbak hydration system and much more! Also Included in the entry for Saturday is a BBQ dinner, along with a ride and admission to the Dade City Raceway to watch the MX races Saturday night. Sunday will be the tougher dirt oriented ride, depending on the weather could be wet, could be dry. According to the map, we're looking at 120+ miles (actual miles may vary, once again, depending on the weather). Don't judge this 120 miles by the 150 easy miles of daytona. It's Not even close! (especially if it gets wet!) There will be a shorter main route with a longer (15-20 mile) optional section for the experienced riders. Plan on a 60-70 mile fuel range. The sunday ride will be doable but a hand full on a KLR650, and not recommended for bikes bigger than the KLR650. Bring your aggressive street legal knobbies, this is shaping up to be the best Creek yet! I encourage ya'll to do both days. It's not so much the riding, but the people. The new friends you'll meet, the things you'll learn about bikes and techniques, and just having a good 'ole time with a bunch of new motorcyclin' buddies! If you do both days you can have the entire dual sport spectrum, from easy road riding to challenging trail riding, and everything in between. If you treat this as a motorcycling happening more than just a ride, you'll get the full flavor of what we're trying to do. It's the bikes. It's the riding. But most of all, its the people. All entrants will recieve: an event t-shirt saturday entry includes: Scavenger Hunt & prizes BBQ Dinner Admission to MX Races Sunday entry Includes: Continental Breakfast Lunch Once again, look for more details and an entry flyer in the upcoming newsletter, due out next week. Those of you on the list who have not yet subscribed to The Southern Dual Sporting Newsletter and have not joined the WDSRC, you can do so by going to our website at http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Canyon/5245 Looking forward to seeing ya'll there!

Date: 03 May 2000 14:38:40 -0600 As I've mentioned a couple of times, Mike Walburn and Dualstar http://www.dual-star.com/ are enthusiastic about the DR650 and have been gearing up with product support for it. I talked with Mike today and he had some Dual Star part numbers for us: 1. DR650 rear springs: Dual Star Part Nos. 20-98211 $79.95. These are 6.2 - 6.9 kg (350-390 lbs) progressive springs; stockers are 6.5 kg (360 lb straight rate). 2. Fork springs, Dual Star Part Nos. 20-98202. $89.95 per pair. These are the Larry Roessler Signature Series springs. 3. The Dual Star centerstand for the DR650 lives! Mike said he is sending me a production version for testing. I'll have a complete report in the June/July issue of Dual Sport News www.dualsport.org . KLR owners have come to love the Dual Star centerstand and I'm certain the DR650 product will be of the same fine quality and engineering. Mike has designed the centerstand so a user can fabricate a rear support from the stand to a bash plate. A Dual Star bash plate is in the works. Give Mike a call if you have further questions.

I did but their is a drain on my battery I think it is something I did but can't pinpoint it. I used the ignition kill switch for my on/off switch by cutting off the key switch wires and soldering them to the kill switch. The black wires are on the kill side and on one side of the start side the orange and red wires are together and the brown and (I think it was a yellow wire) are on the other side. But I don't think the brown and yellow wires should be together until the switch is turned on. With them touching I think I am getting a slow but constant drain on the battery does this sound right?

These provide more stability to the front end and they hardly ever bend for the plus side. With the regular size I have the Tag 5 bar that is aluminum but is 5mm thick wall so it is advertised as 20% stronger than standard aluminum bars. these retail for $83.00 verses $141.00 for the triple clamp then another $89.00 to $119.00 for the bars, if you would choose to go with the fat bar option.

This is a higher bar (and stronger) that makes standing on the pegs much easier. It is also slightly wider than the stock bars for more leverage and control. It is the standard bar diameter so you don't have to buy an adapter. John F - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

Then check your plug color after a 5-10 mile ride at half throttle position, the color of the porcelain electrode cover should be a chocolate brown, white or light gray is too lean and black is rich. this will give you a good indication of the correct setting of the needle as it controls the 1/4 to 5/8 throttle position.

Once you use them for a while, you'll wonder how you ever rode without them.

I have visited Baja a number of times on various DR's, and have found that .46KG straight wound springs with 20wt oil preloaded 3/16th inch is as good as it gets unless your trying to jump vado's or want to spend a lot of pesos. The cartridge emulators are an improvement but are just a band aid, when major surgery is required on the 97 and earlier DR350SE model Suzuki's. When you get the front fixed your going to hate the rear. Hope this makes your day and hope someday you will show us some pine roots in Baja rather than all those stickery things.

I hope to see you all San Diego County riders there at the meeting. If you are not in San Diego County, please read on, there is a link below where you can find locations in your state (or county) where there are meetings. It could mean our being able or NOT being able to ride in many of the offroad areas we all love. Please pass this along to anyone you know who may be interested. Thanks, Wayne Marsula' ==================================================================== The 25 page Executive Summary of Scoping Comments stated on page 11 that "Those (comments) addressing recreational access deal primarily with the issue of restrictions on motorized access, particularly off-road vehicle access." It continues, "Probably the most contentious issue of the entire debate over roadless area protection is the question of whether motorized access will be or should be restricted." Also stated, "Many are apprehensive that this may lead eventually to the closure of all National Forest System lands to motorized recreational use. This perception inspired a barrage of protests from individuals and recreational organizations." Many of the pro-access writers expressed the positive aspects of the OHV community (i.e. vol. trail projects, family participation, respect for the environment, etc.) related to forest use. The report also noted that..."(OHV) Management is the solution to this issue, not expulsion!" I would encourage you to go to the following website to download, at least, the 25 page Executive Summary and then go to the other website address and click/download you own state's roadless meeting schedules. The roadless meetings will start in the next few weeks and run into June.

The fmf I am familiar with and it makes good power and is tunable you can remove disc's to quiet it down or add some to make horsepower and they do not make them anymore so I would say get it while you can. The DG Krome Power I have not had any experience with so cannot say what the drawbacks or benefits are. Hope this helps you make a decision If you need help with jetting get back to me and I will give you some options.

I haven't heard of them Jim, but if you call Tim Bernard at www.happy-trail.com I bet you could talk him in to creating a solution as he likes the DR650 and agrees it has a very tight cockpit. Tim acted as go between on the purchase of my '96 and when I came to pick it up at his shop he said that the former owner had cut and rewelded the pegs lower on the mouting stem and that it had made a world of difference. I have no basis of comparison but I can tell you mine is very comfortable....you can't tell it has been done...

Just pick up a new seal, mark the position of the control arm and remove it. Using a small punch or screwdriver, carefully puncture a hole in the metal area of the seal and pry it from the case. Be sure you don't nick or score the case sealing surface while removing the old seal. Remove any burrs or nicks from the edge of the case sealing surface, as this will surely destroy your new seal during installation. Cover the end of the clutch shaft with a small piece of thin plastic (a cut up ziplock sandwich bag works well) so you don't punch a pretty star pattern in your new seal :-) ... Install the seal on the shaft, remove the plastic, and using a deep well socket (about the same size as a outer diameter of the seal) carefully tap the seal in place. (if the case sealing surface is a little less than perfect, you can apply a small amount of gasket sealant to the bottom edge of the new seal) Make sure the seal is seated straight and the seal lip is riding on a smooth area of the clutch shaft. Reinstall the clutch arm and cable. That's it... -Rich ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2000 7:36 PM > Hi everyone, I have a '91 DR250S that has a clutch shaft seal that blows a fair amount of oil out when doing highway action.

I dropped down one tooth on the front sprocket and it helped a bunch off road. Although, it was ok on the street, it was a bit low for long distance road work. By going to a 53 tooth on the rear, I'm guessing first gear will be vertually unusable. Do you have the GearCalc software? By going to a 53 tooth rear, you will go from 4145 rpm at 60mph to 5231 rpm at 60mph. Dropping one or two teeth on the front sprocket would save you all the modifications to the chain and chain guard as well. Just my opinion.. Oh, there is no master link in the stock chain. You'll need a new chain anyway for the length. You'll just have to grind a link off or use a chain breaker etc...Also, you'll need a new front sprocket too, unless you have found a 525 rear sprocket...in which the 525 chain will cost you a fortune. This is a good time to switch to 520 chain and sprockets.. JB >>> <HifiHerb@aol.com> 05/11/00 09:33PM >>> I'm installing a larger, 53 tooth, sprocket on the rear of my 1999 DR650SE.

They make an airbox for the DR350, but I am not sure if they have one for the 650. It is pricey, which is why I do not have one yet. I have heard and read about drilling three X one inch holes in the airbox of the 350 and this is supposed to help a lot. On mine, a previous owner almost completely removed the top of the airbox. A new friend here (previous Suzuki dealer and owner of the first dr350 sold in Colorado Springs) claims that opening the airbox, and going to an after-market muffler and header gives almost as much horsepower increase as his tricked out dr350. Of course you will want to check carb jetting with each mod. All a matter of how much cash you have to burn.

You will have to also install a richer main jet. Or you could just put the plug back in. If you want more performance you will need to just cut the top out of the airbox and get a reasonable gain for the same amount of effort. Ether way you are going to have to remove the carb and do the jetting thing. Let me know If you need more detailed information.

I have one on my KLR650. I have the complete system with the header pipe and can. It comes standard with the racing core. For an extra $89 you buy the spark arrestor/quiet core. While it will arrest sparks, it isn't 'much' quieter. Only changes the "brightness" of the tone somewhat. The system is well made, looks great, and will increase your power noticably. It will also piss off your neighborsif you live in a residential area as it is loud. Very loud.

You don't say which spring you have, but as I weigh 250, I have the 8.0 Kg. spring, set at almost zero preload. It stands to reason that if the front and rear are reacting differently, that they are set differently and too far apart. Just start playing with different settings until you start learning the differences at each setting. Start with rather large changes so you can feel them easier, then start refining the setting to your taste. And for what purpose would you want to remove the chain guard?? It's there for a reason, doesn't weigh that much, leave it alone.

You are so right, the little extra gain is not worth pissing off those who wish we weren't there in the first place. And you can gain more by doing other things to your bike: suspension upgrade; airbox; riding skills. You will often find the best and fastest riders are on quiet, stock equipment, take a lesson from them. And please, at Moab next month, there will be many of us riding the trails out there. We have to share them with bicyclists, 4-wheelers, hikers, and most of all, Rangers. Keep it quiet and safe, you can still have a lot of fun that way. A whole herd of noisy, fast, dust causing motorcyclists will be sure to get us "un-invited" back next year. And that's not just at Moab, but at all the areas they are just looking for any excuse to close down. You will be doing us, and YOURSELF, a great favor by "keeping clean".

Wayne gives me the opportunity to remind DR list members of two upcoming events which have their roots as Dual Sport News sponsored events. The first is the 4th annual "Utah Get-Together"...founded and coordinated by former DSN editor, Gino Pokluda. Headquartered out of Canyonlands Campground and Moab, UT...this event has become a wonderful "all-brands" social gathering. I expect to see over 150 riders and guests this year in one of the most breathtaking sites in the country. You can gain more information by visiting www.dualsport.org (www.geocities.com/~klrdsn/page54.html) . The dates are June 7-10. The second is the Dual Sport News/Happy Trails Motorcycle Products 1st Annual Swiftwater Rally. Taking place on August 23-26, the rally is based out of Swiftwater RV Park and Store on the Salmon River in Northern Idaho. The focus of the ride is to offer breathtaking views of Idaho and Oregon with the best dual sporting anywhere. Ride organizer is Tim Bernard at Tim@happy-trail.com (www.happy-trail.com) . I hope to see you there.

Picked up a 3.5"X17 front and 4.5"X17 rear Acront wheels w/ gold Talon hubs, MEZ1s and a big ass front disc and put them on the XR400. Got it all together last night. Had to get new shocks on the work truck this morning so threw the motard in the back - left the truck at the tire store - and spent the next two and a half hours carving the twisties near Woodstock.

It is refreshing to see some of you guys out there with some common sense and a realization that we can sometimes be our own worst enemies. "Performance" exhausts on any bikes that are not used solely in competition are just more nails in the coffin called "land closures". The miniscule amount of HP increase is not worth the massive amount of noise these systems generate. Stuffing them up with "quiet cores" or discs to make them bearable as far as noise levels will very effectively negate any of the claimed power increases. Save the 200 to 300 bucks normally spent on these systems and use it to dial in the suspension and modify the intake tract; ride quietly so you can.....so we ALL can.

The valving internally is very similar to the dirt only shock with the external rebound adjuster, so it acts as if it had an adjuster that is set all the way hard. The stock rear spring is approx. 5.7kg., and the shock is rebound valved for a 7.1kg. spring. So the fix is either revalve the shock internally or install a heavier spring. The problem with this is the 7.1kg spring is too stiff for you with the stock linkage and the stock spring is too soft for you no matter how the shock is valved. The Kouba Links and a 7.1kg rear spring may not be the cheapest at first but in the end is by far the best solution for the money thats available. Have a look at our web-page highlighted below, it has more info on how things should work on that end of the bike. If I was too take the chain guard off I would replace it with the shorter dirt only one.

The last time that happened, I removed the guard. Now my rule is to never mount the bike with shoes that have laces. I also removed the other chain guards. It sure makes it easier to clean and lube the chain. And lastly, many bikes I see do not have chain guards.

Hope this can be of any interest for you: The reason for popping is that the air fuel mixture is to lean, meaning to much air in relation to the fuel. When the spark plug ignites the mixture a lean mixture burns slower than a correct mixture (reason for this is some chemichal stuff!) When the exhaust port opens the gasses still hasn=B4t been burnt completely so it travels out to the exhaust pipe. It=B4s very hot so the gasses ignites.

Am I just > lucky so far? If you're lucky, then so am I. I've done the same things, for the same reasons -- removed everything but the piece of curved metal that mounts underneath the front sprocket guard. I only ride with boots, and I can't imagine how a part of a stiff leather boot could possibly get caught in the front sprocket area, even if I tried to stick it in there. In my mind, the main danger of the chain is the master link opening up and the chain whipping around to take my leg off. I check that link diligently, and replace it at least once a season. (I know that a lot of the DRs have a continuous chain, but a larger rear sprocket often necessitates a new, longer chain.)

Date: 15 May 2000 11:08:19 -0700 (PDT) Greetings listers. My 92 DR350S is almost ready to roll, but I'm having a bit of a problem. After warming and riding for a while, the bike idles at like 5000 rpm when put into neutral. Also, the rpms stay high when the throttle is let off after revving, even in gear. The throttle is not sticking (checked that first). The top of the airbox has been mostly cut out (previous owner). We think we may have diagnosed the problem, but we're not sure yet. The pilot screw (not the pilot jet) on the outside of the carb should have a little dinky o-ring at the top and that was missing along with the washer that pushes against it. Could this little part be causing my difficulties or do you guys think something else is going on... Thanks for yor advice. Jon ALSO! Does anyone know how to get my own personal copy of the parts fiche for my bike? I'd like to have it blow up into a poster for my apartment wall :) ===== Jonathan L.

If your dealer does not have these items your local bearing supply house should have the o'ring. I have them if you can't find it locally. Regards, Jesse Kientz http://www.kientech.com/ -----Original Message----- Behalf Of Jonathan Moon Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 11:08 AM Greetings listers. My 92 DR350S is almost ready to roll, but I'm having a bit of a problem. After warming and riding for a while, the bike idles at like 5000 rpm when put into neutral. Also, the rpms stay high when the throttle is let off after revving, even in gear. The throttle is not sticking (checked that first). The top of the airbox has been mostly cut out (previous owner). We think we may have diagnosed the problem, but we're not sure yet. The pilot screw (not the pilot jet) on the outside of the carb should have a little dinky o-ring at the top and that was missing along with the washer that pushes against it. Could this little part be causing my difficulties or do you guys think something else is going on... Thanks for yor advice. Jon ALSO! Does anyone know how to get my own personal copy of the parts fiche for my bike? I'd like to have it blow up into a poster for my apartment wall :) ===== Jonathan L.

I wouldn't worry about taking them off unless all you are going to do is run up and down the interstate. I took them off my DRZ400S with no ill effects--although your 650 may show a little vibration--since it has a bigger engine. I have a BMWF650 which I put Acerbis handguards on and thought of getting rid of the weights. But it spends most of its time on the road covering some pretty serious miles, so I left them on it.

Now, I have removed mine (because I have Acerbis hand guards and they had to go to fit them) and vibration is not really a problem. I can still see a clear picture in the mirrors at 60mph. 2 weekends ago I rode 1300 miles and numb or tingling hands were not an issue. Which is more than I can say for my ass. OUCH! You want to try buzzy, try a KTM 640...Forget the mirrors, I can't see out of my eyeballs on one of those. Compared to other 650cc singles, the DR is very smooth. I have ridden others (KLR, KTM, F650 etc). and only the BMW is close. Of course most are putting out more hp stock too.

This is one weak spot on the DR especially if the kick start compression release ritual is not followed the kick start Idler gear is on the right end of the countershaft and it locks up when the shaft breaks. It breaks just inside the right bearing and lets the shaft move back and forth inside causing much shrapnel inside not to mention resistance. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but would encourage you to look inside ASAP. Would like to know what you find.

Well first I would suggest putting the 37.5 pilot back in and then install a 140 main jet you may even drop the clip on the needle to the fourth groove down and see what happens. Let me know it works out. The Cobra is not jetting friendly I have found but now that you have it we will give it our best shot.

I opened the top of the airbox and put on a Cobra ISDN pipe. The bike would not idle properly right after opening the airbox with stock jetting. I went one size larger on the idle jet and the bike would start but fought to stay running and any attemp to increase gas would make it die. I cleaned all orifices in the carb and the slide looks okay and I left the needle alone. I then went to the next size idle jet and I get the same results with little effect from playing with the fuel/air screw. Now I'm not sure which way to go. Is it getting too much fuel through the idle circuit?

The slide and needle all move together so there is no problem with this little washer you are referring to in being snug on the needle. Your cable does not control the slide, vacuum does when you are going down hill with the throttle closed a lot of vacuum is being created in the intake tract which could be holding the slide up slightly. I would be very careful about using carb cleaner on the carb the aluminum parts are ok but the rubber parts will swell out of proportion and not fit if they come in contact with carb spray. one thing you may do is check the o'ring around the seat portion of the needle and seat it gets hard and some times cracked over time and not seal properly and will let excess fuel into the bowl causing fast idle or even flooding.

After you've washed and rinsed the filter, let it dry completely. Pour enough filter oil into a pan and completely coat the filter (you'll definitely want to use a set of vinyl or latex gloves for this, it's quite messy). After you've totally coated the filter, squeeze out as much of the filter oil as you can, and let the filter sit for a couple hours. This is important, as the filter oil has carrier that must evaporate before it's used, otherwise your bikes going to have a hard time breathing.

He just doesn't give a rat's-ass. Nice example, but you were talking "off-road" here... not "noisy Harley on your street". Apples and oranges my friend. What does a noisy Harley on your "street" have to do with me riding "off-road" on abandoned - unpopulated - back-woods logging roads - in the mountains of British Columbia? According to your "factual poll-based" theory, that noisy Harley on your street is contributing to the demise of off-road riding. Like I said in response to Wayne's post... attitude and presentation are everything. I simply love the sound of a nicely built big-block rumbling by my house on a sunny afternoon. Get's my attention - I pause what I'm doing - admire the car - etc... But if that same car were using the rural street in front of my place for time-trials, my opinion would be totally different. Same car - different attitude. Different attitude = different response from the public. Last year in Moab, I never got one single negative response from any of the cyclists I saw. I spoke to some - waved at all - and they waved back. I let them see the "person" on the bike rather than just the bike itself. I find it much the same at work. I work in a uniform and serve the public. They don't always see it this way. And more often than not, they don't see the person at all... just the uniform. My actions dictate whether this "personification of me" continues, or whether they see "me" as a person doing a job. Having said this... Where "I" ride locally, I can have any attitude I want, as there are no people around to care. If there were, I would probably not have the loud exhaust. You can choose to continue to not believe me if you like. I'm just telling you the way it is.

Like Arne I ride in areas where there is either no one around (logging roads where my bike is quieter than the logging trucks and workers) or an area full of two-strokes whining and zinging everywhere. That brings up another item; spark arrestors. Where I live they are recommended but not required (as seen by the sheer volume of two stroke bikes in off road areas), but this is obviously not the way it is in the U.S. If you do not need a spark arrestor than you have more choices for aftermarket exhaust. From what I know, the Big Gun system is the only "complete" system for a KLR (correct me if I'm wrong). If someone wants to increase the performance of their bike, and it just happens to be loud, than that is their choice. If they drive irresponsibly than they can reap the rewards that follows. If you say "That loud noisy bike makes all of us look bad" than you are using the same logic as those that will judge cyclists based on one individual. As for power gains with an aftermarket exhoust, I am no expert but "seat of the pants" with my Two Brothers Racing pipe is great. I think the performance reward is great. I am not the loudest bike off road (including two and four strokes) nor the loudest on the street, and I do not think it is as loud as Arne's Big Gun. Now, rather than asking me to never join a dual sport ride (as Wayne did earlier) or been negative about any persons exhaust we could all just be curious about how it performs or other technical items. If Arne had no complaints in Moab than it can't possibly be offensive (or is everybody scared of Canadians, must be our military). It seems that the majority of people seem to go with a SuperTrapp exhaust, perhaps people trying other systems will be good the dual sport community as a whole. More info and more choices. I know Kurt had mentioned a long time ago he was hoping to test the Two Brothers System for DSN. I hope he succeeds. Once again, if you believe that a loud mufflers is detrimental to the motorcycle community than that is your opinion. But everybody can make their own choice. I'm sure that some body might start to take offense with this post, but none is intended. If I ever meet Wayne I'll gladly go on a dual sport ride with him and slip on my stock exhaust, it's that simple. Most importantly, have fun!!

Just like in 4wheeling. Only a few people go out and destroy the land, but everyone suffer with land closure. Politicians and the public are not going to seperate out the good from the bad. They are going to treat us as a whole. Don't know where you ride, but when I was riding in LA Angeles forest, and turn off my engine, I can hear 2stroke from a OHV area a good 20-30 miles away. People that you don't may already have formed a bad impression. The image of a noisy bike is a reckless dude on a bike ready to run over anyone in their way.

I agree with Shayne here that saying because "one person has a loud bike, it makes the rest of us look bad" is a little ridiculous. Obviously you don't ride much dirt because if you did you would be accustomed to the noise that 2-strokes make. I have an FMF Mega4 exhaust on my '95 DR350 and I like riding with the discs off because the power and the noise are incredible. I love that sound! And most other people like it too, because all the other 4 & 2-strokes want to know what type of pipe I have and wish they could get that noise and power. That's not to say that if I ride in an event where a noise restriction is required then I would comply without hesitation. All this said, we in Texas are very fortunate to have private land to ride on so we are not resticted by anyone. If I trail ride at night, or ride in a sponsored event, I will put the discs back on.

Just like in 4wheeling. Only a few people go out and destroy the land, but everyone suffer with land closure. Politicians and the public are not going to seperate out the good from the bad. They are going to treat us as a whole. Don't know where you ride, but when I was riding in LA Angeles forest, and turn off my engine, I can hear 2stroke from a OHV area a good 20-30 miles away. People that you don't may already have formed a bad impression. The image of a noisy bike is a reckless dude on a bike ready to run over anyone in their way.

A couple of months later I put on the vortex airbox, the dirt (pumper) carb, and a Big Gun exhaust (silencer and headpipe) with quiet core and spark arrestor. I also have the race core. It all cost $400. In November, I took the engine out and had White Bros 441cc and cam installed, and I had the head ported by Pro-Action. When I re-installed the engine, I put the stock exhaust back on because I decided that I wanted to be quiet - and I figured that there should still be plenty of power. I was right. If you're interested in buying my Big Gun, let me know, I'm willing to let it go for $150 and I'll pay shipping in 48 states.

Going over rocks, logs and deep whoop-de-dos is very difficult if you try to stay seated, but much easier if one learns to stand up and move yourself to keep the bike balanced. As far as where I sit on the seat when seated, it is much like when I stand. I position myself where I need to be to keep the bike balanced. Going uphill, I may slide myself forward on the seat to help keep the front tire down, going downhill I would slide rearward to keep from going over the handlebars. Standing on the pegs, I do the same and have more freedom of movement to move forward and aft, using my body weight to shift the bikes center of gravity in order to keep both wheels on the ground. Also, standing on the pegs in rough terrain keeps the bike's center f gravity lower and closer to the ground since body weight is concentrated on the pegs and not on the seat. Believe it or not you have better control of the bike if you keep your feet on the pegs and are not trying to paddle your way through the rough stuff. Sometimes you have too, but usually the only time I ma on the seat is when the trail is smooth and few if any bumps. Standing through the rough stuff also makes the ride more comfortable as I am not getting bounced around with every bump and also means I can ride faster ... faster ... faster! Hope this is helpful and I have not insulted anyone's intelligence!

It works perfect for what I wanted to use it for which is half highway use and half dirt road/forest trail use. It has enough power go 100 mph on the highway, is comfortable enough to spend several hours riding, has a 190 mile gas tank range and will perform adequately on dirt roads with 10 inches of suspension travel front and rear= . In my opinion, it is too heavy (324 lbs dry) for strictly off-road use or for off-road competiton. If you weigh more than 180 lbs the rear shock spring will probably be too soft for rough terrain. If I were going to ride mostly off-road, I would have bought the DRZ400, although I would have had to get a larger gas tank. To be fair, I have not ridden the XR or WR models.

This is from personal experience on a 750 Honda I found out later much later that my son was pulling wheelies in the high school parking lot this will stretch a chain in specific areas. Regards, Jesse Kientz http://www.kientech.com/ -----Original Message----- Behalf Of Doug B Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2000 4:18 PM Steel sprockets are more durable than aluminum. -----Original Message----- Behalf Of Cklppnbrg@aol.com Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2000 11:06 AM Question: I will be in need of replacing my rear sprocket soon and am wondering what everyone else uses, as in, material, brand. Seems to be a variety of sprockets out there and want to know what material/manufacturer has the best wear for the money. The rear sprocket on my DR350 now is a 48T which I think means it is after-market, and I have found it is not perfectly round, or the bore that fits the rear wheel is off center. This can be seen whenever doing chain maintenance as the chain will be tighter with the wheel in one position and 180 degrees of rotation later it is loose. So quality is also of importance in judging the best value. Any suggestions?

And it looked very nice indeed. This is in the UK by the way. Now, I'm not sure what main jet was fitted......I think it had the whole thing removed and the carb drilled out with a 10mm bit.

The only minor complaint is that the popping on closed throttle deceleration seems a little more noticeable. Will that be a function of the needle position or the pilot jet? Thumper Racing told me to use the third groove from the top (which I did). I know that Jesse recommends the fourth groove from the top when using the Vortex, so the Thumper recommendation sounds correct. I'm saving up for the Vortex next, but in the meantime I'd like to get this DR350SE running perfectly. Settings: stock muffler, no jetting changes, pilot adjustment screw is 2 turns out. I'm now more convinced than ever that the stock airbox is so restrictive simply for noise reduction.

If you are unfamiliar with this style, take a look at http://www.supertt.com . If you are interested in trying this with your DR, read on, otherwise, never mind. I rode the XR on some twisty roads in North Georgia near the T.W.O. campground, Highway 180 if you are familiar with the area. The XR was basically stock, with very mild jetting and exhaust work. The owner bought some used wheels from a friend. The front is a 3.5 by 17inch, and the rear is a 4.5 by 17 inch. Both rims are laced to gold anodized Talon rims. The front wheel has an oversized brake disk, and he has an adapter which relocates the stock brake caliper to work with the oversized disk. Both wheels had used, nearly worn out Metzeler MEZ1s. Most SuperMotard bikes are modified dirtbikes, with lowered suspension. Garry wants to keep his suspension stock, so he can easily switch wheels for off road riding. This results in 2 compromises: the suspension moves around more than you want when flogging it on a mountain road, and you can't go very much smaller on the rear sprocket without the chain really sawing on the swing arm. With that wide rear rim, it is tempting to mount a really large rear tire. This wheel had a 150 Metzeler mounted, and the previous owner had to trim it down a bit with a belt sander to clear the chain. Chain clearance is basically non-existant. Unless something can be done to move the sprockets over, the 150 is the absolute max on this bike. I compared the actually installed width of the Dunlop D207 160 on the rear of my Hawk GT, and the chain would have to be spaced over at least 1/4 inch to clear. Riding impressions: 1. This thing is a blast on tight twisty roads, even with the stock suspension. The XR has more power than my stocker DR350, but not really that much more power. A DR could be just as much fun. 2. It is geared way too short, and there is a limit to how large the front sprocket can go, and how small the rear sprocket can be. 3. That oversized disk is way too much. This is not a one finger brake, you need to use your little finger that has been smashed into too many trees to stop this bike, otherwise you'll be amazing your friends with stoppies at every turn. I wouldn't think about an oversize disk until I was sure that I needed it. It looks great, though. This past weekend at T.W.O. there was a Thumper group there. Lots of dual sports, SR500s, and other types of singles. The XR with the gold anodized hubs drew spectators like flies to honey. When we swapped to the knobbies to do some off road riding, it was just another dual sport. - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

They'll be my next project. Yes, the airbox on the DRs is restrictive. I didn't notice it got a lot noisier on my 650 when I liberated it but it sure ran better. I did open the exhaust a little too though and that might be masking it. I started out with a Supertrapp IDS exhaust, and removed the airbox lid. I then followed the Dynotech recommendations for stage two jetting for the kit I ordered from them. We used their needle which is actually tapered compared to the DR's rounder profile, turned the screw out and went from the 140 to a 170 main jet. Everything started good, idled good and ran so-so. I then started adding discs to the IDS Supertrapp and got to 14 and found it was running better although it still felt a little rich and a plug check confirmed this. I then put in a K&N air filter and it really came alive. It was like I'd unplugged it. More air flow does wonders. She flat scats.

The popping indicates a lean condition. Regards, Jesse Kientz http://www.kientech.com/ -----Original Message----- Behalf Of Chris &/or Sheila Beauchemin Sent: Monday, May 22, 2000 12:10 PM I finally installed the JX needle & spring, cut open the airbox and installed a Unifilter (WOW - what a difference). The only minor complaint is that the popping on closed throttle deceleration seems a little more noticeable. Will that be a function of the needle position or the pilot jet? Thumper Racing told me to use the third groove from the top (which I did). I know that Jesse recommends the fourth groove from the top when using the Vortex, so the Thumper recommendation sounds correct. I'm saving up for the Vortex next, but in the meantime I'd like to get this DR350SE running perfectly. Settings: stock muffler, no jetting changes, pilot adjustment screw is 2 turns out. I'm now more convinced than ever that the stock airbox is so restrictive simply for noise reduction.

Did I throw away a piece that was in the box? The stock air cleaner is retained by a nylon piece that has a pointed tip that is a slip fit into the top of the foam cleaner cage, the other end attaches via a bolt to the inside of the box. The top of my K & N is sealed with a ridge running through the middle but no hole to receive a slip fit nylon piece. Can you help me my man? Kurt BTW, the new Dual Star centerstand is a dream come true, terrific construction and finish like everything Mike does. You just remove the 4 bolts securing the footpegs, slip the stand on, put some blue locktite on and torque them to 39 Newton and you're all set. A perfect fit.

And this is just the second half of the ride! Still gotta do the first half and the alternate section! Ran across some logging going on in one of the sections down by the firetower off Goat Rd. I've never seen them log there before. I must say, those logging trucks are tearing up Goat Rd even though they've reinforced a few areas with limestone. Other than that, rustled up a few quail, a couple deer, and a few armadillos. It was a nice morning and I'm home by noon!

Four strokes are not as likely to hurt themselves as two strokes but it is a possibility. When you install it check your plug color often if it is white it would be wise to jet it richer. Check the plug color before you do it so that you know what it looked like before the change. If you have to get into the carb let me know and I will try to talk you through it.

Mitchell" <bill@maptriangle.com> writes: > Does anyone know where to get a decent price on the Summers Racing lower fork brace? Jesse? BTW, I ordered >links from Norm Kouba, nice guy. > > Bill Mitchell > 98 DR350SE Dear Bill (and the group), I would be more than happy to sell you a Summers Racing Components (SRC) Fork Brace. It is, with out of doubt, the most cost effective modification you can make to a DR 350 where deep sand or mud riding is concerned. I rode with an SRC brace for over a year on my '96 DR 350 SET. At the 1999 Swamp Fox Dual Sport Ride near Charleston, SC I was able to motor through the multitude of deep sand washes with confidence and at a considerably more rapid pace than the other DR-Ss in our group. I also noticed a much more confident feel in sweeping fire road curves as the front end stayed firmly planted as I steered with the broadsliding rear. FUN! FUN! FUN! This year, at the 2000 Swamp Fox Dual Sport Ride, I was on a '99 DR 350 SEX, without an SRC Fork Brace. Although I could scoot through the whoop sections at a much faster and controlled pace than on the '96 due to the much improved suspension components, I was all over the place in the deep sand washes. I was forced to back off and paddle throught them, all because of the lack of the SRC Fork Brace. It made for a very long day! The SRC Fork Brace improves suspension performance and steering accuracy at a fraction of the cost of inverted forks. The SRC Fork Brace allows the rider to take advantage of the lower weight of the stock fork without sacrificing smooth suspension action or steering vagueness due to fork flex. With the SRC fork brace, steering is accomplished with much more precision, most noticeable while riding in ruts, sand, rocks and roots. The SRC Fork Brace virtually eliminates fork flex which means a reduction of suspension friction, drag and binding. Kits are now available to fit most XRs, DRs (including the new DR-Zs), and KTM WP forks. Also available are new mini cycle fork braces. Also new braces for certain vintage Honda, Yamaha & Husqvarna models. The SRC Fork Brace was voted one of the "Top Ten New Products" in 1996 by Dirt Bike magazine, and "What every XR owner should have" by Dirt Rider magazine in 1997. In another post to the list, Guy "Comobu@aol.com" writes, "Norm, you had something to share about a fork brace... some horror story of them being able to slip down.. catching the front knobby... causing an instant horrific end over end crash?" I have to tell you, that I have only heard of only one incident remotely related to this scenario. And, that incident only happened due to a combination of factors. Our Team Rider, Seven-Time Mid-East Hare Scramble Champion Vance Earl, had his fork brace come loose on his DR-Z 400-E at the Big Buck GNCC and contact his tire as he led the 4-stroke A Class. Even then, it did not cause "an instant, horrific, end over end crash". It just caused the wheel to skid. The combination of factors which led to this incident where: the brace was actually for a KTM 400 which has 40mm forks, whereas the DR-Z has 39mm forks; the front fender was placed much lower than stock due to the mounting plate for a Works Enduro Rider (W.E.R.) steering stabilizer and a fork brace, so that it contacted the brace; and no Loctite or Threebond was used to secure the clamp screws which worked loose. A multitude of riders, including Scott Summers and our Team Rider, defending National Hare Scramble Series 4-Stroke A Class Champion Curt Wilcox, who ride much fast and much harder than you and I can ever imagine, have no problems with the braces. DR 350 Fork Brace Kits sell for $199.95 and include fork brace, fork guards, guides, wipers and necessary hardware. SRC offers a 30 Day Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee on their Fork Brace Kits, but you'll never have to use it. As for "a decent price", I am of the belief that suggested retail is "a decent price" for high quality, premium products such as all SRC products, Keintech airboxes, Kouba Links and such. However, you had mentioned earlier that you where contemplating joining The Blue Ridge Pathfinders Motorcycle Club, Inc. If you indeed have, you will receive a 10% discount on any, and all, parts purchases you make at Suzuki-Kawasaki of Gastonia. Therefore, The Blue Ridge Pathfinders Member price on an SRC Fork Brace Kit is $179.96. If you wish me to ship one to you, I can do so, by Priority Mail, for $5.00. I hope this helps.

The SRC fork brace seemed costly to me for just the brace, however to be fair it comes with more than that. Also apparently the DR after market isn't exactly a big market that benefits much from economy of scale, at least a good selection of items are available for it. Suggested retail is indeed a fair price from a stocking dealer, inventory is costly. Also, in todays market you can never be sure what dealer discount is, I realize sometimes it can be pretty thin. I believe in supporting my local dealer(s) whenever possible, but I won't and I can't afford to over pay. I don't mind paying for information either, I try to deal with people who help with my education. Those of us looking for the best price are merely trying to stretch our limited dollars in order to obtain all the goodies we think we need to be happy. BTW, thanks for the tip on the gel accessory seat. I ordered the all vinyl one from my dealer. It's a little lower and wider than the stock seat. No monkey butt yet, either. I should have taken your advice on getting the spandura, the vinyl is pretty slippery, I'm hoping that will improve with time.

Rausch Creek Motorsports LP announces the opening of its Motocross and ATV Park set for Memorial Day weekend. This is the first phase of a 6000 acre motorsports park that will include the Motocross and ATV Park, Rallysports course, a 3 plus mile road racing track and areas for growth into other types of motorsports. All track designs will flow with the natural elevation changes of the local mountains. Located 45 miles north of Harrisburg, the property surrounds the intersection of Interstate 81 at exit 33 and Rt. 209. The parks location will allow for easy access from all major northeastern and mid-Atlantic cities. Completion of the 40 foot wide European Grand Prix-style road course is set for later this year with a full race schedule slated for 2001. With recent approval of all zoning permits, owner Ronald Lickman, along with track management, will initially concentrate on motorcycle club racing including PACE/CCS, WERA, and AHRMA. In the future Rausch Creek hopes to attract national AMA and World Superbike events. The future also has plans to include open wheel and vintage auto racing, but Rausch Creek will start with a motorcycle friendly race track. For more information on the Motocross and ATV Park contact John Grodensky, Off Road Events Coordinator; for information on road racing or rally sports contact Andrew Stutzman, General Manager, both at (570) 682-4600 or email at rauschcreek@hotmail.com.

Following is a copy of my reply to him. You may not have thrown it out, it might never have been included with your filter. K&N supplies a piece to do exactly what the stock piece does along with the gasket to be mounted in your airbox. When mine came in, neither the gasket or the attachment piece (it's a little black thing with a slot in it for the stock screw) were in the box. We had to call K&N to confirm the pieces were missing and they air freighted them out. The box with my filter in it was assembled in 2000 so it may be a problem on the assembly line. I had no problems with the K&N filter itself. It flows a lot more air than the stock foam element.

At first I thought that i was out of fuel so I checked and still had over half a tank. When you are going slow in first gear and crack the throttle, the bike would sort of hickup or hesitate and then slowly raise in rpm. To me it sounds like I have a problem with the fuel system but I am pretty bike illiterate and am just not sure what is wrong... When the bike is at a stand still it idles great and seems normal when you crack the throttle but when you put it in gear it just doesn't have anywhere near the same power. If anyone has any idea of what may be going on please feel free.. The bike is a '92 and has 4000miles and it still seems like it has good compression.

Drained the old gas and put in fresh... Starts fine and idles perfectly... BUT when I try and apply throttle, it dies under load. It's only a year old... what gives? Maybe it too has a vent hose. I can't see the air cleaner needing any work/cleaning as I got it at the very end of the season last year and it only has about an hour on it tops. Sorry I can't offer any help on the DR... =^( Cheers, Arne - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

TAKE THE HOSE CLAMP LOOSE AND REMOVE THE HOSE. (AFTER DRAINING YOUR OIL) THEN TAKE A SOCKET OR WRENCH AND TAKE THE FITTING OUT (IT HAS A HEX ON IT). THE SCREEN IS PART OF THE FITTING. DONT BE SUPRISED TO SEE A FEW SMALL METAL CHIPS OR DEBRIS, THATS JUST LEFTOVER FROM WHEN THE BIKE WAS MADE AND THATS WHY THE SCREEN IS THERE. WHEN THEY HAVE THE OIL TANK AS PART OF THE FRAME THERE IS NO WAY TO GET IT ALL OUT WHEN IT IS MANUFACTURED SO THEY PUT A SCREEN IN THERE TO KEEP THAT STUFF FROM GETTING TO THE MOTOR. I HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN , ADAM (96DR350) ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

Good riding to all! > > Bill Dear Bill, My name is Al Roof and I live in South Crowders Creek, NC (Near Charlotte). I am President of the 100-member Blue Ridge Pathfinders Motorcycle Club, Inc., which I founded as a dual sport club in 1991. Along with a heavy slant towards dual sporting, the club now encompasses all aspects of off-road motorcycling and ATV trail riding. I am also the promoter of the Honda Hoot Carolina Dual Sport Adventure Ride (my third), so I was glad to see that you are entered! I look forward to meeting you there so that we can discuss future riding opportunities. Although the majority of The Blue Ridge Pathfinders' membership is based in the Charlotte metro area, we have members from Florida, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. We even have some members right near you. Derek Reavis, who rides off-road only, lives right there in Simpsonville. David Garland lives in Seneca, and is an avid dual sport enthusiasts who knows of trails and back roads that I've never even seen. And, Gerald Jones' Upstate Cycle in Greenville is a loyal Commercial Member of the club.....a great little shop I might add! Now for some propoganda. I canÆt think of any better way to learn about preserving, promoting and enjoying OHV recreation in North Carolina than to join our Blue Ridge Pathfinders Motorcycle Club, Inc.. The Club is comprised of individuals, families, and commercial members. Currently there are about 100 members in the club, and we always welcome new members. Meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of each month and start at 7:00 p.m.. Non-members are welcome. Call ahead for meeting locations. The most important reason to get involved is to help us build a group large enough, educated enough and powerful enough to make an impact on the future of trails in the Carolinas and the country. In 1995, we, along with the North Carolina Trail Riders, The Smokey Mountain ORV Club, and the Unifour Trail Bike Club, established the North Carolina Off-Highway Vehicle Association (NOVA). We work in cooperation with The Blue Ribbon Coalition, The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council and The AMA in order to stay informed and influential. In our efforts to insure access to public and private lands, we promote the TEAM STEALTH concept by encouraging riders to get the quietest machine they can, then make it quieter. Another reason to join is to have a chance to ride some of the finest trails in the Carolinas and spend time with other people who enjoy trail riding. The Club frequently conducts group trail riding adventures to various public riding areas in the southeast, National Dual Sport Trail Rides and more. As a club member you receive The Blue Ridge Pathfinder, our official newsletter, is published monthly, and contains details of past rides and happenings, plus provides a calendar of events to keep members informed of upcoming work days, planned rides, races, and other items of interest. Members can also place free classified ads for bikes, parts, apparel and accessories. You also receive a membership directory that lists each club member, where they are from, their phone number, type of riding preferred and best times for riding. In the directory you will find maps and directions to the a variety of riding areas in the Carolinas and Virginia. The directory features ads for our Commercial Members so that you can support the businesses that support us. You may receive discounts on parts and products from select dealers. Dues provide the essential resources with which club activities are conducted and for: ò Maintenance and improvement of: TNT Motorsports Park The Wayehutta OHV Area The Brown Mountain OHV Area The Uwharrie OHV Trail System ò Publication and distribution our monthly newsletter ò Publication and distribution of our Membership Directory. ò Expenses for members to attend workshops and conferences vital to the clubÆs activities. ò Video tapes and training materials for teaching safe, responsible riding and more!

We never had any fuel trouble, other than running out several times in Patagonia! I remember specifically that unleaded fuel was easily available in Bolivia, and besides, leaded fuel won't hurt anyway. I believe that the compression ratio on the '96 or newer DR650 is similar to the ratio on the DR350, and we never had any problem anywhere in South America with the 650, so I wouldn't worry about it. I would definitely recommend a Scottoiler for travelling - worth every penny! It was the one modification that we did not do that I wish we had done.
