I understand the BD kit comes with some kind of bracket to mount a nicad battery either on or near the stock airbox. Is this setup compatible with the non-standard airbox?

Instructions for loading DR in your pick-up: 1. Park truck at far end of 80' double at local moto-x track. 2. Ride DR around the track for a recon lap. (like Evel used to do) 3. Make sure your friends are watching and jump the DR over the double, into the back of the truck. 4. Be sure to do the knack-knack-heel-clicker thing like Travis Pastrana might do. 5. Be sure to open the sliding rear window, so that when you do the flying "W" you will end up in the drivers seat. Have the truck running, then just slam it into gear and take off creating an awsome double roost. This part will really impress your friends. 6.You won't need any tie downs, 'cause the front wheel will be stuck about half a foot into the cab. OR, 7. Skip 1-6 and just use a board. Just don't let your friends see you. You'll never live it down... JB - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

Petursson The powercore four is a quality pipe that is some what louder than your stock pipe and should produce more power. When you cut the top of the airbox out you should have a 4x3 inch hole just behind the airbox mounting bracket. then you will have to rejet the carburetor a 140 main would be a good place to start I am assuming that this is a dirt only bike if so you may need to drop the clip on the jet needle to the fourth groove. let me know how this works out, and if you have more questions please contact me.

I found a FMF MegaMax (discontinued product) from Motorcycle Accessories Wharehouse and the power gain with no other mods (stock jetting, etc) was very noticeable. The noise increase was not that much- it mostly changed the pitch to a more "throaty" bark. I am told that the Big Gun and the Power Core IV are VERY loud. The welds rusted after ten minutes of riding. Next week I am going to cut a 3X4" hole in the top of my airbox and rejet. Jesse-> do you recommend a 140 jet for this setup?

P.S. This guy sent his motor to Jesse for the 435 kit and cam and head I don't think i'll pull him anymore:( __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

With the stock muffler I've been noticing a blubber (hesitation) when grabbing a hand full of throttle off idle. What do I do to get rid of this blubber? I put a Supertrapp exhaust on it thinking it would help the problem. It increased throttle response slightly and gave more power however it did not cure the blubber. I've noticed all the discussion about the powercore4 and other exhausts that offer better performance. So I'm thinking about trashing the SuperTrapp and buying a Cobra, FMF or other exhaust. My question is...what's the best exhaust, standard airbox mods, and jetting alternatives for improved performance and to eliminate the low end blubber on a DR250 (off road version)? Any other advice would be appreciated.
