Hello everyone.

Just like to introduce myself and thank Arne Larsen from the KLR list for
referring me over here.  I recently bought a 95 DR650.  After 16 years of
riding, this is the first dual sport I've owned.  Too bad I didn't get one
earlier, they certainly are alot of fun.  Though at the moment, the bike is
in need of new steering head bearings.  Any advice as to the type of bearings
I should use???

Jesse,
            Is the '98 DR650SE this way too? I wonder about push
starting mine. I know there was no way to push start my old '92 DR650.
No matter what gear, the rear wheel would just slide, but it had the
manual comp release. Just a thought since I have no kick start lever
either.

HI Mikko, your compression release on DR350se's after 1994 are built
into
the camshaft and have no manual compression release. The compression
will be
relieved until the motor starts. The compression release device in the
cam
disengages once the motor starts by centrifugal force.

Thanks for replying guys

I'm slightly confused...This is a dumb question,but....
Is that automatic decompression system connected
to the starter knob?
If so,when you push the bike, release clutch lever
and same time press the starter knob( that would
activate  decompression system),so bike would
start easier.
I know this theory sounds funny, probably i'm totally
wrong.

Many thanks

Hi Jan, if I said yes it would be an educated guess. Since this this newer
engine is based on the same design as the 350 I would think that it would be
the same. However I have not had one apart or seen the manual so I cannot
say for sure. You could try starting it on a hill just to check it out
though.

Hi Evan just remove them and take them to your local bearing supply house.
The races may be a little difficult to remove from the steering head and the
lower steering stem If they are free of any pits rust or corrosion you may
get away with just the tapered bearings. I would not recommend this on wheel
bearings but the amount of movement on the steering is so slight it is not
as critical a situation due to the fact that they are not heated up like
wheel bearings. Use a good boat trailer wheel bearing grease on them during
replacement this will protect them from moisture.

Subject: (dr) Used DR350 price?

Hey there listers:
I sent a message about this yesterday, but as it never
showed up in my inbox from the list i assume it didnt
go through.

I found a used 1990 DR350S (dual sport) with 6K miles
on it.  The tach doesnt work and this guy is at least
the 2nd owner.  I haven't seen it yet in person, but
does anyone know what kind of price range I should be
looking at?

6K miles is very low for a 1990 bike -- may have set for a long time (not
necessarily good for a bike).  Make sure to give it a thorough test ride
and have someone who knows these bikes to check it out.  If all is in
good condition, I would say around $1300-1400.  Check out
http://www.kellysbluebook.com/ also -- gives prices for trade-in & retail
of bikes, cars, etc. by year and area of country.

You are in luck Jonathan.  Motorcycle Consumer News just published their
spring used bike value guide.  Full retail for the bike you are looking at is
listed at $1600.  This price represents a stock motorcycle in either
reconditioned or clean undamaged, well-maintained condition.  Damaged or
otherwise non-working parts would lower the price, useful accessories could
raise it.  Recently replaced wear items such as tires or a bad clutch, etc.
do not affect the price.  However, worn out tires, frayed cables, slipping
clutch, torn seat cover, etc. would definitely lower the price.  Hope this
helps
