RT Emulators seem like a reasonable complement to the link, with *manditory* F&R
stiffer springs. These moves would be the most economical when considering level
of improvement vs. $ invested.
You are brave to do MX on a DR. Yes, it's possible to dramatically improve
action (but costly) with RM or RMX components; relatively easy to do - minor
machining & header rerouting required. Mine's been this way for a year now, F/R,
and I can't say enough about it - you have to experience it to believe how good
it can be. There's not a thing yet that it won't take oh-so-well, though it ran
over one grand for the mods alone, so don't expect to keep your household well
fed afterwards :-/

You guys have some great advice. The Kouba Links sound like an inexpensive fix
for what seems to be a big problem.What would complement this for the front
end.I love the bike but it handles like the handle bars are wet noodles and I
have a flat on the rear. Would trying to find a set of USD RM forks be an
impossible and expensive feat? I would like to be able to ride this thing on a
mx track for fun if I wanted to.
Thanks

David,
Another thing to check with any bike that has set for an extended period
of time is the gas. If possible loossen the carberator drain screw.
Make sure that the fuel petcock is turned off. Allow all of the old
fuel in the carberator to drain, then tighten the drain screw. Open the
fuel petcock, kick the engine through. It should start after a few
kicks (or cranks if you are looking at an electric start model).

Subject: (dr350) DR200se opinions
Hi everyone,
Does anyone on this list own a DR200se? How do you like it? Is it
reliable? What are the best & worst things about owning / riding it? The
roads in & around my town really s*ck (about 75% paved), so I'm looking at a
light dualsport for commuting & general running around. TIA!
