I've really appreciated all the insight into the DR350 from this list but I
think I am ready to move on to something lighter and more dirt worthy (read
KLX300R). So I'm putting her on the block.

FYI I have a stock carb from a 90 DRS 350 gathering dust. It has a
Scott's T handle airscrew & Dynojet kit. This is a single cable carb. If
the carb or any parts on it can help anyone e-mail me.
With so many carb questions I thought I would mention it.

Sorry to see you go Brian. Seems like a very good price on your DR. Good luck!
I used to live in your neck of the woods, south of 20 off Bowen Road. I miss
riding the mud hole north of six flags by the golf course. Is it still open?

In the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck if...", I will be
featuring a "You might be a dual sport rider if.." segment in the next few

For those not familiar with Mr. Foxworthy's humor, here is a sample:
You might be a redneck if you had a toothpick in your mouth for your wedding
picture
or
You might be a redneck if you have ever had a black eye and a hickey at the

Could you help me with names / numbers of persons or clubs in Minnesota

Subject: (dr350) Suspention -When-how
As far as i know they went to cartridge fork on 97 on the front.(
Showa- brand ?
)Honda has the same one is in it ?
The question : I did read about suspension weakness on DRs , i have a
99 model ,
did Suzuki fixed the suspension problem , is it any better than the
previous
year model?
Or does my 99 susp. have the same sickness as the others ( too soft)
I could not tell if it is soft or not, because i always had "
Rice-rockets" ,
Zx-6 , Zx-11, in the past, and could not compare to Mx or other DP
bikes.
Also if some one could tell me the best setting for compression and
rebound
adjustment on front and rear. I tried to adjust but could not tell
much
different, ( inexperience???).
What is the most dangerous setting that one possibly can have , Low
compression
and high rebound? or the other way around?
Thanks for any advice.

Subject: RE: (dr350) Suspention -When-how
George, for now set all the setting in the middle. The settings will change
depending on the terrain you are going to ride.
When I ride sand and whoops, I stiffen up the compression and slow down the
rebound. But you don't want the rebound too slow or it won't rebound quick
enough when going through whoops. If it rebounds too quick,. the back of the
bike will jump off the ground and hit you in the butt. To quick of a rebound
can be confused with to soft of a compression. If the bike compresses too
quick and bottoms out, the back of the bike will also hit you in the butt.
The first thing you want to do it set the rear shock sag at about 4 inch
differnece between the suspension being fully extended and you sitting on
the bike.
Depending on your rider weight, you may want to go to stiffer springs.
Norm Kouba can probably answers your questions more direct/
I've always found suspension to be trail and error. All my old bikes didn't
really have much adjustment or were a pain to stop and adjust. But believe
me, it makes a big difference.

About tires!!
Does this sound like a good setup for my '98 DR350SE? I ride probably
80% dirt.
Front: Dunlop K139 300x21
Rear: Parelli M21 120/90-18
I am replacing M21 both front and back. The rear was a 110/80-18 and
the front 90/90-21
Thanks in advance!
