Subject: Re: (dr) oil strainer
Hi Iain,
I just cleaned the strainer on my bike and there was some dirt on it. I used
compressed air to clean it out. I have a 98DR350SE with 2900 miles on it. As
to whether it's necessary, It's so easy to do I don't see any reason not to
do it. It might have taken me 10 minutes to do the job.

Hi
Be careful that what you squirt in your cables does not "harden" (to
prevent fling-off) like some chain lubes. If you put that in your cables
they will be worse, not better. Then you'll have to clean them out by
squirting WD-40 in there, or some other solvent.

Springer,
You must have some gnarly hills where you ride, is all I can say!
The pegs are one inch rearward and not lowered Jesse says, my mistake. I
could put up a picture but they aren't really ready for showtime, I need to
grind some corners off... you might ask Jesse how he made them. I was only
testing them to see if I liked them, but I wouldn't give them back cause I
liked em too much =)

Subject: (dr) Maybe FINALLY getting DR this weekend.
Hey folks,
As the subject line reads, nothing is final yet, but I
might be driving down to buy a used DR this weekend.
I'll probably have some more technical q's to ask as
soon as I know some more details, but for right now I
have a transport question.
I will be driving it quite a ways in my Ford Ranger.
1) I need some type of ramp assmebly. Is there an
inexpensive way to construct such a device?
2) What is the recommended scheme for strapping it
down in the bed? It isn't a long bed but it isnt the
shortest one either (6 feet?)
As you might expect, I would like to do these things
with little expense, but with more than adequate
security. I'd have to have my new (to me) bike slide
out of the back of the truck at 80mph. I shudder to
think of it.
Any help would be appreciated!
