Tony, I dont know if you got my "Colorado trip report" post, but I have just
been riding very high altitudes w/ my 95 SE. I have larger main jet and
modified airbox, and all I had to do was turn in the pilot valve adjustment
screw. If your bike is still stock, it will probably run better at altitude
than mine did, and mine did just fine.
All I can say is....its easier going up than coming down! Be careful.

Subject: (dr350) News from Portugal / Acerbis tank / Big Bore Kits / FS carb vs Pumper carb
Hi guys,
Thank you all for the advice given on the Acerbis tank (Kurt, I
understood what you meant). Anyone here still has the Acerbis
installing directions and would consider scanning them and e-mailing
them to me, I would really appreciate it. I got it really cheap
($63.00) so I thought it was a good deal... but the previous owner
didn't give me the mounting hardware and he lives 200 miles away... I
am gonna call him up tomorrow to see it he still has the stuff, so
that he could ship them to me.

The Thumper Racing 435 Kit is a lot cheaper than the WB 377cc Kit, why
?
I don't want to go all the way to 435cc, I am afraid of reliability
problems within the cylinder.
Jesse, e-mail me when the Thumper Racing '99 catalog is out. I might
consider ordering one for me.
- --- // ---
What's the difference between a pumper carb and a FS carb ? I know
what a FS carb is and how it works, don't know much about the pumper
one's... Is a pumper carb a FS carb with a pumper to increase fuel
delivery to the engine to avoid bogging ?
- --- // ---
I forgot to mention in my previous messages that my gearing is 13/43
and it's great off-road. I ride mainly in soft terrain (sand) and
sometimes also on trails (between lots of pine tree's, I guess the
right word must be "woods"...) connected by fire roads.
I agree with Doug Bragg, I don't want to spend a lot of money on a '93
bike because I will probably buy a new bike (a 400cc - 4 stroke) March
2000. I will just add a low cost slip-on and do some jetting, don't
want to spend more than $300.00 on the bike. I recently tried a XR400
with an Ohlins shock on the back and it was really a better
handling/power package than the DR.
I like the DR's engine and I love the bike but in the frame/suspension
(shock) department it's a bit weak, even for a beginner (on dirt
bikes) like me.
