Subject: (dr) Intro

Hello List,

    I would like a couple of opinions/advice from the group, but first a
brief intro : My name is Bryan and I live in Dallas, Texas.  I bought a
99 DR 350 dirt model which was bone stock, and has remained bone stock.
My normal riding is done in North Texas (500ft), and West Texas (3000ft)
with a yearly voyage to Gunnison, Colorado (8000-13000ft) for a
vacation, and some play riding.
    I am going to install an extended gear shifter for the bike, thanks to
Mike for pointing me in the right direction (bajadesigns).  I am also
thinking about installing a vortex airbox and another carb. From reading
the list I think that Jesse ought to be able to help on the last two
mods.  I am looking for a carb like the one on my '88 Quadrunner, one
that has both an airscrew and a fuel ajustment knobs. When I head off to
Colorado one that I can throw a different pilot and main jet in and then
use the air and fuel screw to adjust the rest of the hesitation out
would be nice.  On the current carb, the only adjustment that I can find
is the idle adjustment. My father has a 98 DR 350  dirt model that he
took to Colorado last year, we messed with it for a week and still never
got it running perfect thoughout the altitude range.

From what I know (believe me, it is not much), you must drill out a plug to
adjust fuel to air mix.  I understand that the factory sets fuel to air mix
and then seals the hole where the screw is with a soft metal.

Bryan,

The carb on your DR350 has a fuel adjustment screw on the bottom just forward of
the float bowl.  If by chance you have a Calif. DR350 (dirt only model) then you
may have a CV type carb without an excelerator pump.  It still will have the fuel
adjustment screw in the same location, its just covered with a plug so it is
tamper proof.  To be able to adjust this without burning yourself, one needs the
"T" handle adjusting needle, rather than the too long of a screw driver and heavy
gloves. Believe Jesse over at Kientech Engineering stocks them.  If you have the
pumper style carb, once it is set up properly you should not have to change
anything other than possibly a half turn on this fuel adjusting screw.  We ride
around 2,200 ft in the winter and up to 10,000 ft in the summer with out any
internal changes.  If you decide on the Vortex air box, it will come with all the
jetting specs. and they will be considerably different than with the stock box.
Also you may want to check and see where the fuel squirter nozzle is pointed.  It
should point just to the right of the needle when aimed correctly, and not back
into the airbox as we have seen on more than one new bike.  Let us know if you
need some help jetting etc.

Hi Bryan, well lets approach this carefully. If you have the pumper carb,
 Throttle / cable mechanism) should be on the right side when sitting on the
bike. Fuel screw: located in front of the bowl bottom center of the carb. a
tee handle aftermarket fuel screw available from Thumper Racing at
1-800-259-5186 will give you the easiest adjustment capabilities that you
can possibly get. This pumper carb is the best you can get for the DR350.
Airbox: Your stock airbox is strangling the engine from the get go,134.3 cfm
on a flow bench so this is one reason why you are having problems at high
elevation. The vortex will provide twice the air volume (265 cfm on a flow
bench) as the stock one plus give you better throttle response, longer
intervals between servicing the filter and its much simpler to change the
element. an added note is that it will support any engine moods that you do
and give you serious performance gains. If I can be of further help please
feel free to contact me.
My best regards Jesse

Thank you for information Markus, I have forgotten to thank Norm,
Jesse,Pablo, sorry, thank you also (and people not mentioned here)

Apologies to people, who are fed up with me, I seem to write every day (long
winter)
I know you have probably been talking around this subject maybe 100
times,but once
again,
which one is better bargain; Factory jet kit or Dynojet kit
Do you get same amount of jets, any other differencies?

My friend has '98 DR650SE, he installed self-made skid plate to his bike
last summer, he didn't bore vent holes to the plate.
Soon he was complaining on warm days,"engine is getting so hot,
it's actually losing power", I know it's not bike's fault
those vent holes seem to be essential.
Suzuki dealer changed cam chain tensioner to his bike under warranty.
Bike was ridden 2000 miles and tensioner was getting noisy(rare failure?)

Thanks for patience

Hi Bryan, the Dirt model pumper carb doesn't have this plug only the cv carb
( dual purpose & Calif issue bikes) there is a remote chance that you may
have a Calif epa issue bike but that is not likely in Texas. the Cv carb has
the Throttle mechanism on the left side of the carb while sitting on the
bike.
