2001 DRZ400E idle issue

This was done only with the bike off. The air scew I messed with was on the bottom of the carb, not side. It did t...

2001 DRZ400E idle issue

Hi: I wimped out and am staying off-road for the time being. I snagged a 2001 DRZ400E (electric start non street legal). It has the stock Keihin FCR 39(?). When I am riding and let off the throttle it does not drop down, acting like cruise control. Brake taps, clutch fans or throttle blips bring it ...

Re: Newbie from KC North

The cops mentioned the trails being near St. Joseph. I will run that lead down. Todd, let's ride to Atchison when there is a break in the weather on our DRs. Please PM your contact info or whatever the protocol is here. Thanks!

Re: Getting gassy

All good ideas. I'll check it out tonight and stop eating so many beans :lol:
I do have a spare plastic tank with a petcock on it so I have a temporary solution in hand should the petcock be bad. Will advise. Thanks!

Getting gassy

Hi: The snow riding in the snowbound and bored trail makes me want to ride. I have a feeling that is a bad idea. I noticed a gassy smell in my garage and had to investigate among my toys and tools to figure out the source. It looks like my 97 DR350 is leaking gas. The manual says to leave the petcoc...

Re: Newbie from KC North

This is cool! Freaking Eddie McLiney from my childhood and a lot of good guys! Some good ideas as well as discouraging ones. Troy, I have been trying to figure out what purple paint meant. I also researched that land, (Line Creek Valley) all the way down to I-29 and found the same thing. One large p...

I have had bikes intermittently since my dad bought me a new 1976 Yamaha GTMXC 80 (I continue to be obsessed with these bikes if you know where...
