Subject: RE: (dr350) K&N filter

Don't cut the air box out until you are ready to rejet. It will run like
crap if it runs at all. Way to lean. My DR was a 96 DRS. I completely
converted it to dirt, and was doing some serious    jumping on the thing.
Suspension was to weak for what I wanted, but it would haul ass after the
mod's. Cutting the baffle out made a noticeable difference in horsepower,
wasn't to loud, and didn't cost nowhere near what an after market exhaust
would cost. It was comparable to the sound of a MegaMax.

Hi David,

  What year was your DR350?  I have a '98 DR350SE and I was thinking
about cutting the end off the stock exhaust and removing the baffle and
then welding it back on but I'm unsure about doing it.  I have my main
jet to 132.5 now and I'm still hearing popping so I think I'm still
running lean.  I haven't removed the top of the airbox yet either.

Thanks for any information.

Chris.. how did it go at the 500mile Ridge Runners?  That's if the forks went
on like you hoped... I would like to hear about how Haywards JN Innovations
did on your DR/RMX fork swap...

Subject: (dr350) Fwd:  Attention Canadian Motorheads

  Forward from [e-mail]:

I have been tasked with the problem of exploring the possibility of

purchasing some motorcycle parts from a Canadian source.  Can anyone help?

Here is the deal.  My friend (Elden Carl) is searching for a vented float

bowl for a DR 350se, 97-99 vintage.  The American emissions carb has deleted

this feature and he really wants one.  He was curious if the Canadian carb

for the KLR had a vented float bowl.  Anybody got a buddy at a dealership?

He is also curious about prices for various engine chains, he has heard they

are much cheaper in Canada.  He is looking for:

1. 95 KLR cam chain part # 92057-1226

2. 95 KLR balancer chain part # 92057-1158

3. 98 KLR cam chain part # 92057-1402

Any help with this info would be much appreciated.

One more thing, if some one could post this info on the DR list I'd be much

obliged.

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much, uh huh.

Morgan

Subject: (dr350) Q: piston ring

I've had a closer look to my DR 350 SE, which I've bought four weeks ago

with the hint of the seller "damage in the cylinder had, I think".
Actually
it was very noisy.

One reason for the was a valve clearance of around 0,4mm, another was a
damaged
surface of the exhaust cam, the same with the rocking arm. Because I had
open
the motor already, I went further and had a look to the piston. Looks
ok,
but, and thats my question:

The third piston ring is not easily moveable in his slot, and I can't
see were
this ring is open. The other rings are. Is this normal, or is this
irregular?

PS: please excuse my bad English regarding mechanical vocabulary, can't
find my dictionary of Technical English ....
