If I dump the bike and it falls on one side it bogs out and hesitates for a while. If it falls on the other side (left I think)then it continues to run fine after I upright it. What I have found as a cure is to pinch the vaccuum line running to the petcock with my fingers and hold it for a minute or two (this prevents more fuel from going into the carb) then at the same time I rev the bike up for a minute or too to burn what would appear to be extra fuel in the carb, then it runs fine.

I'm running a #140 main, #40 pilot, otherwise the same.
Other pertinents:
- - 1000' to 5000' elevation
- - Airbox mod/TwinAir filter
- - 50% race gas (ostensibly to run cooler)
- - FMF Megamax exhaust

Ok. I'm ready to order the JX needle and spring, Scott's air needle, some
various sizes of main jets, rear turn signals, and an air filer, but I don't
have any contact numbers. Also, what air filter to you guys recommend
along with rear turn signals?
Thanks,

First of all, what goes from carb to petcock (other than the fuel line)is a VACUUM line; the VENT hose comes off the carb and (as stock) runs up into the frame....this is what we've been talking about "T-ing"---
sounds like you have a non-vacuum petcock on your tank (which is supposedly better), as you couldnt go anywhere if the vacuum hose from the carb wasnt connected to the petcock vacuum. If this is the case, I guess you should cut the vacuum line short & plug it up.

John , any 21"" front rim will work as long as it has 36 spoke holes, a
cycle wrecking yard should have a lot of them.The size is on your rim just
get the same size and you will be fine. Jesse.

I've gone through quite a few rear turn signals already. I'm buying a
short stub type that looks like it should make it through a fall, but
doesn't. I saw a guy with a Baja Designs kit and he had some cool flush
mount type for his rear fender. I'm either going to buy that type next
time or get the flexi-mount type from the Scott Summers catalog. The
flexi-mount looks a little more legal even though they aren't DOT
approved either.

I use the factory rear turn signals still, and have them mounted to a dogbone shaped piece of rubber - they have survived many falls. Someday I'll take a photo of them and post it on my web page.

Subject: (dr350) DR441 Test ride
John...
Exactly... what I had a terrible time with this weekend in the open area of
Gormon... deep sand whoops that had me being swallowed up and the rear end
kicking sideways and the front end knifing into the soft sand...is it me or
is it the DR???
Probably both... True our DRs are close to 300 lbs.... the chassis flexs...
and I'm guessing both ends need more rebound damping (dampening?) or does the
rear shock have too much rebound keeping the wheel from returning thus the
seat kicking us in the butt??? I spend alot of time adjusting and testing
and am never real happy with the way a DR handles but still the best bike
I've ever owned ( and could afford!)
It's the 91 dirt DR...
Well get better and June 13th sounds good... could you email me direct again
