Well put Jeff, I have thought of this factor but never posted it most people
like to see a stock item that is used, it presents an (original condition)
picture to them....Jesse

    One thing to keep in mind, is that if you were to sell the bike latter
with a cut stock air box, it will decrease the value.  It would cost more to
buy a new replacement Suzuki air box than a Vortec box.  If you bought the
Vortec box and you decide to sell the bike, you can put all the stock goods
back on and sell the aftermarket goodies for 50-70% of what you paid for
them new.  Most people buying a used bike don't care for the aftermarket
stuff, it looks better to have a stock bike because it is perceived that the
bike has never been raced or thrashed to most buyers.

    If I am getting it for Valentines Day, I figure that Jesse or one of
his staff will be the first to know.  I have considered both options and
I think that the Vortex is the way to go.  To only get 8-10cfm cutting
the stock box, I dont believe it is worth the time (or headache), not
when I can get the Vortex and rip the stock air system out.  I guess it
is time for some creative accounting (aka checkbook mistakes)

    If you don't get it for Valentines Day and the creative accounting does
not work, maybe we can setup a charity funds raiser on all the dirt related
mailing list for a air box for you!

I would appriate that, but I dont think that the creative accounting
approach will fail, I figure in a couple of months I will get it, just
enought time for me to get back on the bike and get use to the power
that it already posses!!!!

Thank God for Spring time

Subject: (dr) whistling DR650

Greetings, all -

My '97 DR650 (purchased new in December 99) makes a whistling sound from the
pipe at startup.  The noise begins just as the engine fires and lasts around
1 second.  It lessens somewhat when the bike is warm.  I understand that
KLR's have a history of this problem.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Any suggestions?  Is it a warranty issue
with Suzuki (my bike is under warranty until December 00)?

Thanks, eh!

Lisa

Will a Vortex box be made for the new DRz400. I just bought one this week. I
will pick it up within the next two weeks. The dealer is installing m21's
and I will be ordering a baja kit. Has any body used baja's directional
switch assy. I like the OEM on my current DR and was thinking of buying a
Suzuki OEM switch unit and having baja wire that in.

Mike

The one they give you with the newer Baja kit is a little better than the
push-to-cancle switch on the DR350SE.  I think it is off a Husaburg dual
sport bike.  The old one is a piece of junk one similar to the ones used on
Japanese bikes in the 70's.  It is a old style turn signal switch and once
sand gets into it, it does not work.  You can wire just about any turn,
headlight, horn switch you want.  The wires might be different colors for
the different circuits.

    It sounds like one of the exhaust pipe gaskets.  Try to tighten the
exhaust  flange.  Once the pipe heats up, the metal expands and exhaust leak
diminishes.  If it's under warranty, take it to the dealer, they might just
give you a new pipe.

Hope that helps,

I'll back up Jesse's evaluation as I have the Vortex

noticable as for snap that's another story.
