Subject: (dr) Gearing question DR650
Has anyone with a DR650 gone down a tooth on the front sprocket? Or gone up
a few on the rear? For me I think it's geared way too tall, especially in
first gear. I'm going to use it mainly for the dirt/trail. Any opinions are
greatly welcomed.

Subject: Re: (dr) Gearing question DR650
When I checked, there weren't any decent options for larger rear sprockets
other than special (=expensive) aluminum alloys. I put a 14 tooth (one down)
steel sprocket on the front, and it's MUCH better for offroading, perfectly
fine for street. Less chain slap also, which is vicious on the 650. Be
advised you have to grind off some of the circumference on the gear retainer
plate (and the nylon bushing) to clear the chain with the smaller sprocket.
Try www.sprocketspecialists.com model 590 for $35.

Jody Dennis Kirk sells tank graphics for the DR.Kinda
pricy though 56.99 they look pretty nice and cover the
tank and the fins that stick down directly under it.

Hey,
Does anyone out there live in the St. Louis, Missouri area?
I'm getting back into riding for the first time since I moved out
here almost 2 years ago, and I was hoping to find somebody to ride
with. Please drop me a line if you're in the area.
Thanks,

According to the DR350 service manual, "The pilot screw is pre-set at the
factory... not ajustable". I have a Vortex Airbox, 142.5 main, JX
Spring/Needle, stock exhaust system. The carb is a 14EP, which the service
manual states, "PRE-SET DO NOT ADJUST" I tried to adust the pilot screw,
but, it won't budge. I don't see an Air Screw on the carb either. Does
anyone have any suggestions? Jessie!?

I felt that way with my DR250. I picked up a shareware program called
Gear Calc.. cost $1 and is available at
http://www.ironjungle.com
You can enter all your gear ratios and sprocket sizes and tire sizes and
it will tell you how fast you will go in what gear at what RPM. Great
help for deciding on top speed vs. slowest speed.
I have dropped one tooth on the front and plan to drop one more. I will
be running around 7000 rpm at 60 in 6th. I can live with that. I will
knock off about another .3 mph at 1200 rpm. Down to about 2.9 mph.

Subject: (dr) Bridgestone Tire Boycott
Please Boycott Bridgestone/Firestone Tire Company
Below you will read a press release from Bridgestone/Firestone tire
company about 6,000 of the 10,000 acres the company had donated to the
state of Tennessee (Vice President Al Gore's home state) to be preserved
as wilderness. Is it any wonder that the well-meaning majority of
Americans apparently favor locking up our Public Lands to protect them
from off-highway vehicles. If the very manufacturer of the O.E.M. tires
that our OHVs ride would donate 10,000 acres to those who would banish
us, rather than providing that 10,000 acres for their customers to ride
and drive their OHVs, what is the rest of the industry that stands
silently by thinking!
Personally, I sometimes get a little weary of spending ALL of my
"spare???" time working and fighting to provide the customers of OHV
manufacturers and their suppliers with places to ride while those very
companies stand virtually idly by as our OHV recreation opportunities
vanish!
My Bridgestones are coming off tomorrow. How about yours?
Happy trails?

Company Press Release
Bridgestone/Firestone Makes Sizable Land Donation to
State of Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 13, 2000--In
a move that will preserve thousands of acres of
unspoiled wilderness area for generations to come,
Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. (BFS) announced today the
donation of approximately 6,000 acres of land in White
and Van Buren counties to the state of Tennessee.
The gift marks the company's second major land
donation to the state, bringing the total area donated
by BFS to about 10,000 acres. The combined donation,
to be called the Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial
Wilderness, represents one of the largest land
donations in history to the state of Tennessee by a
private company.
Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. Chairman and CEO Masatoshi
Ono presented Gov. Don Sundquist with the deed to the
property at a news conference near the state Capitol.
It includes a conservation easement, to be held by The
Conservation Fund, a nationally recognized
conservation organization. The conservation easement
restricts development on the property to ensure that
its natural beauty and environmental integrity will be
preserved.
The 6,000-acre tract of land includes a sizable
portion of Scott's Gulf near Sparta. When combined
with the previous donation, today's gift opens
approximately 15 miles of the Caney Fork River and its
tributaries to public access.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), which
manages the adjacent 4,000-acre tract donated to the
state by BFS in 1998, will also manage the newly
donated property. While specific land use will be
determined by TWRA, the conservation easement permits
public use of the property for low-impact activities
such as fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking and
hunting. Camping, cave exploration and horseback
riding will be permitted with restrictions.
``This property is truly magnificent, and we felt very
strongly about sharing this environmental treasure
with the people of Tennessee,'' Ono said. ``We took
the property off the market several years ago because
we did not feel a private buyer could ensure that the
natural beauty would be preserved. The Tennessee
Wildlife Resources Agency has done an excellent job
managing the first gift from Bridgestone/Firestone, so
we feel confident about entrusting them with the
management of a second and more substantial
donation.''
BFS and the state of Tennessee worked with The
Conservation Fund to develop a plan that ensures this
property, the previously donated tract and remaining
company holdings in the area will be managed in an
environmentally sound manner.
``It's not every day that the state of Tennessee
receives a gift of this nature, and we sincerely
appreciate Bridgestone/Firestone's generosity and
commitment to safeguarding the scenic beauty of our
great state,'' Sundquist said. ``The company has been
a major contributor to this state's economic
well-being since moving its headquarters to Nashville
in 1992. The donation today reinforces
Bridgestone/Firestone as a major contributor to
Tennessee's environmental stability as well.''
The Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness, a
part of Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau, is home to a
variety of wildlife - including a number of rare and
endangered species. The peregrine falcon, gray bat,
barking tree frog and jewel darter are among the rare
species known to live in the area. Rare wildflowers
found on the property include the Cumberland
Rosemarry. The property is also a known habitat to
wild turkey, quail, deer, timber rattlesnake, beaver,
and large- and small-mouth bass.
``We salute Bridgestone/Firestone for celebrating its
century of business leadership by giving this
magnificent property to the American people,'' said
John Turner, president of The Conservation Fund. ``We
are proud to be their partner in creating this
spectacular outdoor legacy in the heart of Tennessee.
Current and future generations will be enriched by the
breathtaking wildness and quiet wonders of the Caney
Fork River gorge.''
The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company (acquired by
Bridgestone in 1988) purchased the property between
1970-72 for $1.2 million. Since then, Firestone, and
later, Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. have maintained the
combination of meadows, hardwood forests, pasture
land, white water, scenic bluffs, unexplored caves and
mountains as private, protected land.
To commemorate today's land donation, BFS commissioned
a full-color photo book entitled ``Scott's Gulf: The
Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness.'' The
book, which captures some of the colorful history of
Scott's Gulf, features works from former U.S. Sen.
Howard Baker, Jr., and renowned nature photographer
John Netherton. It will be available in Nashville-area
bookstores and at the Tennessee State Museum.
Today's gift is a part of Bridgestone/Firestone's
centennial celebration. The company is celebrating 100
years of Firestone innovation that began in 1900
through the company founded by Harvey S. Firestone.
Throughout the year 2000, ``Firestone: A Legend. A
Century. A Celebration.'' recognizes the Firestone
entrepreneurial spirit that built the brand admired
worldwide.
Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. is a subsidiary of
Bridgestone Corporation, the world's largest tire and
rubber company. Bridgestone/Firestone manufactures and
markets Bridgestone, Firestone, Dayton and house and
private brand tires. The company also produces
Firestone air springs, roofing materials, synthetic
rubber and industrial products.
