Hi John, no do not use a 40 it is too rich instead drill out the 37.5 with a
# 78 drill bit this will enlarge the orifice .002 of an inch it will help in
starting and give better throttle response off the bottom.

Looking at the Corbin page, it appears you have to change the tank on the
650 before Corbin seats will fit. Right?
____________

That is correct...on the 650 you have to go with the IMS....on the 350 it is
not necessary....although it bolts up to an Acerbis just fine...

Subject: (dr) airbox mods

Hi gang,

Has anyone had any trouble with the airbox mods that Thumper Racing
recommends for use with the JX needle & spring?  Specifically, any
particular problems with water or crud getting in?  I'm just waiting for my
needle, spring, & Unifilter to arrive and was just wondering.  The Vortex
sounds great, but I would rather put that money towards some suspension
upgrades first.  If, however, the Vortex is necessary, then I may as well
get it now before carving up the stock airbox.  Any thoughts?

Chris

Hi Chris,

I've had the Vortex airbox on my DR350S for the past few years.
(actually, I've got the Cycle Gear magic air box - precursor to
the Vortex.)  It is very much susceptible to sucking in water if you
ride in conditions that lend themselves to that.  I occasionally do
rides which include stream crossings with water up to two feet deep.
If I continually hit the water such that the front wheel plows and
spits liquid up into the engine/airbox area, I have been known to
stall the bike to the point where I had to drain water out of the
float bowl to get it going again.  But this is not a big problem
if you're just aware of it.  I'm careful now to keep my weight back
during water crossings so as to keep the airbox (and my boots) as dry
as possible.  And even then, it's not that often that I do water deep
enough to matter.  You're not going to have any problem at all in a
simple rainstorm or in crossing water that is say one foot or less
in depth.

I also ran with a cut-out on my stock airbox before replacing it.
I didn't notice any problems with water getting in the engine.

Both the modified stock air box and the Vortex (especially!) will
suck in lots more air than can fit through the stock snorkel.
Therefore, you'll probably find that your filter gets dirtier faster.
I run with a filter skin over my filter now so that I can just replace
or remove the skin to enable me to got longer between cleanings.

The Vortex box and the accompanying rejetting are well worth it.
But then, good suspension is worth it too!  I did my suspension first.
I was surprised at how much more *useable* power I had after the mods.
Once the rear end got reworked, the wheel spent a lot more time on
the ground transmitting power rather than bouncing around like it
did with the stock suspenders.

Happy trails,

- - Mike

Subject: (dr) Mud, etc

Hello All,

This may be somewhat of a simple question, but what is everyone using to
remove that baked on mud / dirt from the header pipe? After a decent off
road excursion yesterday I spent nearly an hour scrubbing the baked mud off
of the header. I do like a clean bike. I'm assuming there might be some sort
of "engine degreaser" or the like out there.


Regards,

Shayne.
