Subject: (dr) shifting trouble(dr305x)

Hi list, went riding saturday and had trouble shifting at high rpm's.  When
starting from a dead stop and going from 1st gear up to 6th at high rpm's my
bike didn't want to shift.  It was usually from 3rd to 4th and from 4th to
5th but sometimes it happened from 2nd to 3rd.  Has anyone else experienced
this and if so does anyone know what could cause this?  Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

I've seen these trailers you speak of at Home Depot, Builders Square,
Hechingers. Never tried one out, but it may do the trick...

I have a Kendon 3-rail stand-up trailer. I paid $1400 for it
last year (with the optional spare tire, jack stand,
and wider rail for either a dirt/street bike in the center rail).
Their web site is www.kendontrailers.com.

Subject: (dr) 350SE kickstart?

Hi guys                                Thanks Andy and Jan

My curiosity got me to ask again...(a dead battery is a worrying thought)
Has anybody installed a kick-starter to 350SE.
How painful is the process,would it be really
expensive operation.What are the parts you need.

That leads to my second question, is it possible or easy to
push start SE,despite of that it's lacking manual
de-compression lever.
I have once been stuck to the wilds with a dead
battery(Honda NX 650), there's no way that bike would
push start, no matter what gear on. (desperate moments)

                Thanks

Mikko Vimpari

I have push started my 350SE after running the battery
dead in the woods.I had the help of two guys to push
it up a hill for me to go back down and pop it in 2nd
gear.

Subject: (dr) My 98 DR350 vs 00XR400 details inside!!!!

My buddy just picked up a brand spankin new XR
400.What a nice machine it is well more worthy of dirt
in stock form than the DR(350).well as I was sure
would happen when we went for a road cruise we had to
punch off.I figured he would not have any trouble
putting some bike lengths on me.Well I was wrong my
bike is a ball hair slower than his.Jesse's Vortex
airbox was shining like a diamond today.We went at it
twice he barely creeped on me at about 65mph the first
run.The second time I wacked the throttle when he did
and we ran dead even to about 70!!Now of course his
bike is 100% stock and will get a couple of horseys
after break in but I was very pleased.I have Jesse's
Vortex airbox,JX needle and spring kit an FMF
powercore4 muffler,and a 147.5 main jet.This combo
will wake a stock 350 up like a son of a gun.It comes
dam close to an XR 400.My biggest gains in my opinion
comes from the well breathing airbox it's worth every
last dime.You would indeed be shocked at the snap it
gives the bike.Suzuki did a piss poor job on the stock
one.The Honda's suspension is out of this world.I will
still take him to school in the woods though as he is
not YET a good rider.

You can download a copy (MS Word format) of the entry form for the 2000
edition of the Chattahoochee Forest Dual Sport Ride, in Suches GA on June
10/11 at the website of the organization that brings you dual sporting
southern style, the WDSRC!

http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Canyon/5245

While you're there, go to the ride reviews and check out the story and
pictures from last years "Hooch"!

Entry is limited to 100 due to the forestry department, and this event fills
up quickly! Last year it filled in 20 days thanks to the WDSRC!

So go check it out, it's some of the prettiest riding in the southeast! And
while your at it, check out the rest of the website, we think you'll be
impressed at what's happening in the Southeast!

That Trailer rocks!  I've got a 5x10 enclosed trailer to haul our three
motorcycles and have thought about adding some shelving and boxes to better
hold our camp gear.  I'm always looking for some good ideas to improve it.
