  26. Darren,
  27.  
  28. My wife's 5'-2" on a good day, and I originally bought her a Yamaha XT350 
  29. because it was lower than the Suzuki. Ended up selling it, & that's a long 
  30. story, and bought her a new DR350. The XT was her first bike, and I thought 
  31. that after more experience the taller bike wouldn't matter as much. I 
  32. immediately bought the Kouba links and installed them before we took the 
  33. bike home. That helped, but still too high. Backed off the rear shock as 
  34. far as I could to lower it some more, and it was getting better, although 
  35. to me it seems a little spongy now. Finally tore apart the seat and removed 
  36. about an inch of foam over the lower half of the seat. Now she does just 
  37. fine.

  81. From: "Bryan Nolastname" <vfrman@hotmail.com>
  82. Subject: (dr350) mods to my 95 DR350SE (jetting & suspension)
  83.  
  84. I've been playing w/ my recently acquired SE over the weekend and I 
  85. love it!
  86.  
  87. First things I want to get taken care of: carb & suspension.
  88.  
  89. I pulled the plug out of the top of the airbox, & then decided to go 
  90. ahead and cut out a larger opening.  After cleaning filter & putting 
  91. back together....WOW!  big difference!  Running VERY lean now so I 
  92. need to get the getting right.  Anybody have the specifics of pilot & 
  93. main jet #s, and there was something about a different needle?
  94.  
  95. Also, at the local MX playground, where I DONT catch air (yet 
  96. anyway!), I saw a BIG difference in the suspension compared to my 
  97. stock 94 XR650L.  Very soft & bouncy.  Riding over some whoops pretty 
  98. slow, I could tell that it wouldn't take much to bottom this baby out. 
  99.  What is the best thing to do with the existing components?  Do you 
  100. put heavier springs AND RT cartridge emulators in the forks?  Can the 
  101. shock be significantly improved?  I've never done any suspension work 
  102. on a bike before, and am pretty ingorant in this area.
  103.  
  104. Thanks!
  105.  
  106. Bryan in Dallas
