It is unfortunate, but a few people can mess it up for the mass.  Just like
in 4wheeling.  Only a few people go out and destroy the land, but everyone
suffer with land closure.  Politicians and the public are not going to
seperate out the good from the bad.  They are going to treat us as a whole.
Don't know where you ride, but when I was riding in LA Angeles forest, and
turn off my engine, I can hear 2stroke from a OHV area a good 20-30 miles
away.  People that you don't may already have formed a bad impression.  The
image of a noisy bike is a reckless dude on a bike ready to run over anyone
in their way.

Subject: (dr) All jets are not created equel

I have learned an important lesson and want to share
it with you guys.In trying to rejet carb I have
discovered that there are two different types of jets
made for the Mikuni carb.I had a 150 of one type that
was larger than a 155 of another.The original factory
jet has a stamped R with a square next to it.The ones
I got have RD clearly stamped in it.These are two
different manufacturers and the sizes do not match.The
original R with the square seem to run larger than the
RD.My bike was lean with the 150 so I went what I
thought was up to a 155 that was actually smaller than
the 150 and wasted time.I noticed in the Chapperal
catalogue that they sell the RD(smaller)jets.Pay
attention to the jets you guys get the dealer was of
course clueless to this fact.John in N.Y.

Subject: (dr) No DR Content - Super Motard a.k.a. Super TT

Several people have inquired about Super Motard, apparently re-named SuperTT
in the U.S. Someone wanted to know if there was any organized racing in this
country. This web site http://www.supertt.com/ has more info, including some
race scheduling. It also has some information about setting up bikes for
SuperTT, and a classified section for sales and trades. Not many DRs there,
but lots of XR stuff.

Subject: (dr) Wanted: DRZ400S rear foot pegs

I would like to buy the rear foot pegs from a DRZ400S. Anyone who has bought
one and has decided to ditch them please let me know. I am willing to trade
my engine guards from the "E" model.
Thanks
Mike

Subject: RE: (dr) re: DR350 mufflers

I doubt VERY much you can hear a 2-stroke 20 - 30 miles away. I agree with
Shayne here that saying because "one person has a loud bike, it makes the
rest of us look bad" is a little ridiculous. Obviously you don't ride much
dirt because if you did you would be accustomed to the noise that 2-strokes
make.

I have an FMF Mega4 exhaust on my '95 DR350 and I like riding with the discs
off because the power and the noise are incredible. I love that sound! And
most other people like it too, because all the other 4 & 2-strokes want to
know what type of pipe I have and wish they could get that noise and power.
That's not to say that if I ride in an event where a noise restriction is
required then I would comply without hesitation.

All this said, we in Texas are very fortunate to have private land to ride
on so we are not resticted by anyone. If I trail ride at night, or ride in a
sponsored event, I will put the discs back on.

Ric

Subject: Re: (dr) re: DR350 mufflers

Hi Chris,

I have a '98 DR350SE that I bought new in April of '99.  A couple
of months later I put on the vortex airbox, the dirt (pumper) carb,
and a Big Gun exhaust (silencer and headpipe) with quiet core
and spark arrestor.  I also have the race core.  It all cost $400.

In November, I took the engine out and had White Bros 441cc and
cam installed, and I had the head ported by Pro-Action.

When I re-installed the engine, I put the stock exhaust back on
because I decided that I wanted to be quiet - and I figured that
there should still be plenty of power.  I was right.

If you're interested in buying my Big Gun, let me know,  I'm
willing to let it go for $150 and I'll pay shipping in 48 states.

Regards...Mark

Subject: (dr) Seat foam

Anyone out there replaced the seat cover and foam on
the DRSE?I do not like the way it dips right at the
point it travels up the tank.Does the dirt only DR
come with a different seat?My buddys XR400 has a nice
riding position I think If I can lose that dip(this is
where I sit when in the woods)I will be higher and
more "on top"of the bike.Thanks john in n.y.
