I live up in Burlington Vermont, and have recently purchased a 1995 DR350SE. The only thing I've done so far is to put brand new Pirrelli's on the bike. I am interested in doing 2 modifications, one is the larger gas tank, and the second is opening the air box. I know next to nothing about the DR350, so I was wondering if somebody had detailed information about replacing the air box, or simply opening it up? I love this bike, but a few extra horses in the right place surely would not hurt. Any info would be appreciated. - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

Under load, it is a reasonable difference to the stock airbox if you open the throttle. If the bike runs idle, you will rarely notice it. When you change the exhaust to FMF / Yoshimura / Ear even the idle-noise will raise a lot. ( i doubt the hp's will as well). Here in germany, the lawmen measure the noise at about 5000 rpm (no load). The exhaust modification will lead to a suspended bike, airbox maybe (hope so) not! I hope to get a hp-chart with thumper 435cc kit, Vortex, Mikuni TM36 Flatslide carb soon. Maybe i should travel to FUCHS-dyno's in the near future :-) Greets Ludwig http://www.ccwn.org/Ludwig.Geromiler/dr350e.htm >And, before anyone asks (!) yes, I am going to do this mod, but only after >checking how much intake drone I get with the side cover off.

I have a 97 350 DR SE, that i mostly use for weekend riding with my buddies. Anyways, im in the process of buying a bigger gas tank, IMS makes 3.5 gal. Does somebody know if someone else makes a larger tank for this bike, because the distances down here are huge!! Thanks Pedro Azuela 97 DR350SE _____________ Hello Pedro and welcome, first thing is to change your email program so that it only sends plain text messages to the list. Otherwise the digest users get a lot of garbage with your message. The biggest tank made for the DR is from Acerbis. It fits nicely and yields over 4 gallons. It is also the most expensive. The third and least expensive option is from Clark. Regards, Kurt Simpson - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

Don, I have the same bike and I myself am new to the DR. I bought it from a friend who cut the top off the airbox and fitted an FMF pipe and Stage 3 jet kit to it. I rode the bike before all this was done and you cannot fathom the power difference. I bought the bike for racing it in Endoro's and don't see it ever making it back to the street. I have purchased a plastic tank from Chase for $150.00 which holds 4.2 gallons and believe me, it needs more tank capacity now. Ric '95 DR350SE '87 XR100R '70 CT70 '89 CB-1 Hello fellow DR owners.

This is an awesome tire and I never need anything more. It is, however, only for dirt. On the street, not only are they illegal, but they are noisy, dangerous, and soft- which means your tread is coming off very quickly on asphalt. I only have about 200 miles on them so far and the wear seems minimal. '99 dr350se Mods so far: the tires cut 1" off of both ends of the handlebars Enduro Engineering handguards removed passenger pegs, rear fender extender, some chain guard things removed turn signals (can easily put back on when street use is planned) 15/47 sprockets, new chain fork comp and rebound clickers set all the way in (is just about right) Future planned mods (in order of implementation): FMF exhaust re-jet heavier fork springs steering damper Vortex airbox re-jet new wider, solid mounted footpegs Kouba link and spring Thumper Racing 435cc kit re-jet I ride in tight NJ woods, enduro stuff. These mods should be just the ticket for this bike. Just wish I could do it all at once, it really is a good machine.
