Rob , Hi Jesse here. How long have you had this jetting except for the
needle in the fourth groove? also do you have any other mods,
pipe,airbox mod etc.? stock tank?
Is the #40 pilot a BS3096 { only 1 hole straight through the side} or 2
holes if it has 2 holes it is for a flatslide and not for the CV carb.
Lets walk through this.

=A1Sorry for the translation!
My DR350SE has 18000 km (11500 milles), most for off-road (very soft), an=
d I
have found slack the bearings steering and front wheel bearings.
I pressed the steering, and the looseness disappeared, but the bike behav=
es
very bad (hard steering), for what I have loosened it again (and the
looseness has appeared again). As the bike it is in guarantee, in the sho=
p
Suzuki told me that they changed him the bearings steering to correct the
looseness.
Is it habitual to have to change with 18000 km (11500 milles) the bearing=
s
steering and of the front wheel bearings?
Bye
