They'll be my next project. Yes, the airbox on the DRs is restrictive. I didn't notice it got a lot noisier on my 650 when I liberated it but it sure ran better. I did open the exhaust a little too though and that might be masking it. I started out with a Supertrapp IDS exhaust, and removed the airbox lid. I then followed the Dynotech recommendations for stage two jetting for the kit I ordered from them. We used their needle which is actually tapered compared to the DR's rounder profile, turned the screw out and went from the 140 to a 170 main jet. Everything started good, idled good and ran so-so. I then started adding discs to the IDS Supertrapp and got to 14 and found it was running better although it still felt a little rich and a plug check confirmed this. I then put in a K&N air filter and it really came alive. It was like I'd unplugged it. More air flow does wonders. She flat scats.

The popping indicates a lean condition. Regards, Jesse Kientz http://www.kientech.com/ - -----Original Message----- From: owner-dr@lists.xmission.com [mailto:owner-dr@lists.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Chris &/or Sheila Beauchemin Sent: Monday, May 22, 2000 12:10 PM To: DR list Subject: (dr) popping on deceleration I finally installed the JX needle & spring, cut open the airbox and installed a Unifilter (WOW - what a difference). The only minor complaint is that the popping on closed throttle deceleration seems a little more noticeable. Will that be a function of the needle position or the pilot jet? Thumper Racing told me to use the third groove from the top (which I did). I know that Jesse recommends the fourth groove from the top when using the Vortex, so the Thumper recommendation sounds correct. I'm saving up for the Vortex next, but in the meantime I'd like to get this DR350SE running perfectly. Settings: stock muffler, no jetting changes, pilot adjustment screw is 2 turns out. I'm now more convinced than ever that the stock airbox is so restrictive simply for noise reduction.

I then put in a K&N air filter and it really came alive. It > was like I'd unplugged it. More air flow does wonders. She flat scats. ahh, just the man I was looking for...I'm putting the DSN project DR650 bike together and when it came to the K & N I came to a screeching halt...as there didn't appear to be any way to secure it to the stock box. Did I throw away a piece that was in the box? The stock air cleaner is retained by a nylon piece that has a pointed tip that is a slip fit into the top of the foam cleaner cage, the other end attaches via a bolt to the inside of the box. The top of my K & N is sealed with a ridge running through the middle but no hole to receive a slip fit nylon piece. Can you help me my man? Kurt BTW, the new Dual Star centerstand is a dream come true, terrific construction and finish like everything Mike does. You just remove the 4 bolts securing the footpegs, slip the stand on, put some blue locktite on and torque them to 39 Newton and you're all set. A perfect fit. My rear wheel is a good 2 inches off the ground. - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

Subject: (dr) Devil's Creek Update Just got back from doing the route sheet for the second half of the Sunday ride. Man it's dry in the swamp! Anyhoo, It was a blast! Add a little rain, mix it up and get some mud and fill in some of the low parts with water and it'll be near perfect! And this is just the second half of the ride! Still gotta do the first half and the alternate section! Ran across some logging going on in one of the sections down by the firetower off Goat Rd. I've never seen them log there before. I must say, those logging trucks are tearing up Goat Rd even though they've reinforced a few areas with limestone. Other than that, rustled up a few quail, a couple deer, and a few armadillos. It was a nice morning and I'm home by noon!
