Hi Jeff,  I think every thing is sort of on hold waiting for the new DRZ400 to hit the
showroom floors.  Then if the news is positive there will be a mass of DR350's on the market
But,  at lower prices than the new stuff.  Guys will pick them up and start the process of
tricking them out, the cost will be less due to the low initial investment cost starting a
second phase of tricked out DR350's.  Due to an almost 10 year production run of the DR350
this phase will last a while. This is my theory anyway.

Regards   Jesse

HI again   Jeff, I misunderstood your message I thought you were one of the lister's that was
selling their DR's.  Saturday mornings always seem to be pretty quiet. at least you got a couple
of responses.

Subject: (dr350) Mikuni TM36 Flatslide Jetting

Hi Folks,

i am looking for some tips to get the optimal jetting for my Mikuni TM36 Flatslide carb.
This bitch needs apperently smaller jets than my stock 33 CV carb.

My engine modifications:
Vortex Airbox, 435cc Thumper Racing kit,

Now i installed an 125 mainjet, 20 pilot , screw 2 turns out and the needle in 3/5 position.

Any suggestions?

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig,  I think the tm36 flatslide uses hex jets and the numbers do not correspond equally
to the large round jets that fit the tm33ss I would recommend comparing the hole size of a large
round 150 main and your 125main [large hex] out of the tm 36 with gauge pins or the shank of a
number drill to get the size that you want which is about  .055" to .059".  then the needle and
the needle jet may be totally different also from the tm33ss.  I have heard that the tm36 is
very difficult to jet from the guys on the list and have not tried to fit one up myself.  I have
had very good luck with the tm33ss but finding a used one is not easy and the cost for a new one
is about $300.00 I will check with some salvage yards and see if I can locate one for you.
My best regards Jesse

Subject: (dr350) Cost for used parts...

Hey guys, I need your advice on something.

After this past weekend I realized that I need to do something about my gas
tank.  I have a 1990 DR350S and the gas tank with the original rubber bumpers
bounced around so much that I lost the bumpers on one crash (making the tank
REALLY bounce around).  Also, with the locking street gas cap, gas pours
out like crazy when the bike goes down.  I guessing that with a dirt version
tank both of these will be remedied to some degree.  Also, for the rides
that I do, range isn't too much of a problem.

So I talked to a local bike junk yard and I can get a dirt version carb
and a dirt version gas tank for $150.  It sounds like a decent deal to
me - what do you guys think?
