I used compressed air to clean it out. I have a 98DR350SE with 2900 miles on it. As to whether it's necessary, It's so easy to do I don't see any reason not to do it. It might have taken me 10 minutes to do the job.

Hey folks, As the subject line reads, nothing is final yet, but I might be driving down to buy a used DR this weekend. I'll probably have some more technical q's to ask as soon as I know some more details, but for right now I have a transport question. I will be driving it quite a ways in my Ford Ranger. 1) I need some type of ramp assmebly. Is there an inexpensive way to construct such a device? 2) What is the recommended scheme for strapping it down in the bed? It isn't a long bed but it isnt the shortest one either (6 feet?) As you might expect, I would like to do these things with little expense, but with more than adequate security. I'd have to have my new (to me) bike slide out of the back of the truck at 80mph. I shudder to think of it. Any help would be appreciated! Jon ===== Jonathan L.
