When starting from a dead stop and going from 1st gear up to 6th at high rpm's my bike didn't want to shift. It was usually from 3rd to 4th and from 4th to 5th but sometimes it happened from 2nd to 3rd. Has anyone else experienced this and if so does anyone know what could cause this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris 99 DR350X - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

Hi guys Thanks Andy and Jan My curiosity got me to ask again...(a dead battery is a worrying thought) Has anybody installed a kick-starter to 350SE. How painful is the process,would it be really expensive operation.What are the parts you need. That leads to my second question, is it possible or easy to push start SE,despite of that it's lacking manual de-compression lever. I have once been stuck to the wilds with a dead battery(Honda NX 650), there's no way that bike would push start, no matter what gear on.

My buddy just picked up a brand spankin new XR 400.What a nice machine it is well more worthy of dirt in stock form than the DR(350).well as I was sure would happen when we went for a road cruise we had to punch off.I figured he would not have any trouble putting some bike lengths on me.Well I was wrong my bike is a ball hair slower than his.Jesse's Vortex airbox was shining like a diamond today.We went at it twice he barely creeped on me at about 65mph the first run.The second time I wacked the throttle when he did and we ran dead even to about 70!!Now of course his bike is 100% stock and will get a couple of horseys after break in but I was very pleased.I have Jesse's Vortex airbox,JX needle and spring kit an FMF powercore4 muffler,and a 147.5 main jet.This combo will wake a stock 350 up like a son of a gun.It comes dam close to an XR 400.My biggest gains in my opinion comes from the well breathing airbox it's worth every last dime.You would indeed be shocked at the snap it gives the bike.Suzuki did a piss poor job on the stock one.The Honda's suspension is out of this world.I will still take him to school in the woods though as he is not YET a good rider. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
