Subject: RE: (dr) Air box mod
Jesse,
Thanks very much for the detailed reply. I have already cut out the hole - I
did it (eventually) with a knife, on the bike. That airbox is built to
withstand a bomb - it is 9mm thick in one place ! I will see if I can get
the screen out with the box still in place, otherwise I'll have to take it
off anyway.
Interesting comment about the blow-back - it makes you wonder what exactly
the screen is there for as the carb would theoretically ignite first (!), as
you rightly say. Could it actually be to stop something (like a damaged air
filter) being sucked in ??
Thanks again
Steve

Hi Steve, just remove the rubber boot the screen is in next to the airbox
and that will give you room to remove the carb.

Someone from the list subsequently corrected my error. The S model DRZ only
comes in blue, and the E model DRZ only comes in yellow. This is what I
originally thought, but my DRZ buddies told me you could get either bike in
either color. Just goes to show you, don't always believe what you hear! My
apologies is this confused anyone.

Subject: (dr) Yet again another jetting question?????
I am going to be traveling to Gunnison, Colorado next month, and am
curious to what jetting, and needle position a '99 DR350 dirt model
requires. The exhaust, airbox, and muffler are total stock. Last year
I took a '98 DR350 dirt model up there, total stock like the '99. It
ran fine except if you cracked the trottle quickly between 1/2 to 3/4
throttle it would bog, and then it would take off. Base camp is at 8500'
and some of the trails that we ride could reach up to 12000'
Can someone explain difference in needles, and how you can tell what
clip that it is set in? I have read recent post explaining that they
are shimming the needle. Is this only nessessary on the street models
with the CV carb, or is this on the dirt models?
Thanks Bryan

There is not enough heat in fire after it goes thru a screen. The
screen is simply a fire-stop. Fire can't get thru a screen, no way
it will get thru a carb jet into your gas. Fire can't go thru a
metal orifice. I've been riding motorcycles (some that backfired a
LOT!!) for 30 years and I've never never heard of backfire igniting a
carb except when there was raw gas all over the outside.
The screen is there to prevent the air filter from catching fire.
Filters can burn, depending what kind of solvents are used for
cleaning (....like gasoline...??).
I removed the screen on my XR400 and on my XR600 and both times
evidence appeared (scorched inside surface of the filter) that fire
had visited.......
But if you want more power, then more power to you!
A significant worry however, is making absolutely sure you don't
leave any little wires loose when you cut the screen. They will
eventually get sucked into the motor. It's very difficult to be sure
of this, and I recommend (after doing it myself) that you buy an
aftermarket filter cage that already has no screen.

If u are worried about back fire and it burning the filter, and the drawing
it back in. replace the foam filter with one with a metal cage round it,
like a K&N. Before ask's if I work for K&N I do not, : (.
but I have just boubht one thats how I know

Subject: RE: (dr) Yet again another jetting question?????
It is only the dual purpose models. The reason is that they have only one
groove therefore no adjustment so a washer under the clip will raise the
needle giving a richer mixture. This not done on the dirt model, its needle
has five grooves to choose from. the stock setting would be the third groove
down or the middle groove. For your high elevation trip to Colorado you
could try the second groove for a leaner mixture.

The "S" model (the street legal one) comes in both yellow AND blue. At

any of the tests in the magazines (US)...at least the ones I've seen are
yellow.
