You can cap off the vacuum tap on the carb with vinyl caps available at auto
parts stores. The vacuum tap, actuates the stock automatic fuel tap. If
your DR is a California model, you will also have to remove the carbon
canister and associated plumbing. I never had any problems with the vents
capped off.

line But, do you have to use the vent and the other shut off? >>
Assuming that your 1998 is similar to my 1993 model - one line is a
fuel line. The other line is more properly called a vacum line.
<< Or can you just block off the vent at the carb? >>
You can block off the vacuum line at the carb, and simply use a manual
petcock instead of a vacuum activated petcock. That's the route that
I went on my Clarke tank. You'll need 3/16" rubber vacuum plugs, one.
They normally come in a pack of several at an auto parts store, and
you'll replace it periodically - they eventually crack and leak.
<< What does the vent do? >>
It supplies vacuum to a diaphragm on the petcock, automatically
opening the petcock when the engine is running.
<< How will it run short term / long term with it blocked off? >>
You'll have to remember to manually turn the fuel on and off, just
like any other dirt bike. No biggie.
However, if the vacuum plug on the vacuum port splits and falls off
(which it will eventually, so hang on to that packet of plugs), you
won't be able to start the bike - don't ask me how I know that - and
it also won't run very well at all. BIG vacuum leak....!

Be carefull as I had the same question as you on the
header pipe fitting. Best bet is to call the manufact
and ask them specifically.For instance my FMF exhuast
will not fit any header pipe except the FMF.Yosh makes
good products a friend has the yrd on his XR400 and no
compliants.Very throaty.FMF offers the powercore4 for
the same price as you stated above thats what I have
and I am very pleased with it.A bit loud when your "on
it" but no more than any other.

Subject: (dr350) Changing Flats
I have not yet ever had to change a tire on the trail. I have only done it in
the comfort of my garage on a center stand.
How do you support the bike to remove/replace the wheel assembly when on the
trail?
Even in the comfort of my garage, the front speedometer hub thing turns when
I torque down the axle. There is a little nub on the fork that is supposed to
lock it in place, but the fork just twists and the speedo hub thing rotates
out of place. Doh! What am I missing?

I have a Yoshimura silencer. I was real impressed with its performance and
sound. Now, 5 years and 7000 miles later, it sounds a bit blown out. Too
loud - makes enemies of the tree huggers. I tried repacking, but it didn't
help. For the price, I expected more. TW

Just lay it down in the grass or sand, make sure your fuel cap is tight. Or
find a log to prop it up on. Moose off road sells a small telescoping stand
that you can pack in a backpack.

Subject: (dr350) oil
Hi,
When I checked my oil the other day (99 DR 350 SE) there was a small
amount of light brown emulsion at the top of the dip stick. The oil on
the stick looked normal. I haven't submerged the bike but it has been
out in wet conditions (up to the axles).
Is the emulsion water in the oil? Why is it there? Should I change the
oil again (it was changed 250 miles ago)?
Thanks,
Iain

Essentially, yes.
<< Why is it there? >>
I'm assuming that you're riding in cold conditions for short
distances?
My 1993 does the same thing, and several bikes that I've had over the
years have done this. My dad, a mechanic for 50 years so far, tells
me that some makes of car are particularly prone to it. I don't know
exactly how it gets there, but the cure is generally to ride it until
the water gets cooked out of the oil, ie, longer distances.
<< Should I change the oil again (it was changed 250 miles ago)? >>
I've never bothered to, just simply tried to ride farther the next
time in an attempt to cook the condensation out.
