Suzuki DR650SE DynoJet Install

Well, I bought my Suzuki DR650SE back in January and also bought a DynoJet Kit to put in the carburetor after my break in period. I have past the break in period now by going to the mountains and shown in my previous Blog Post.

I was off today and took care of a few house things and outside stuff before tackling this carburetor kit install. David put his in and I was hoping to do this with him around but he was busy out of town these past couple of days. I am definitely able to handle this but it is nice to have someone around who went through the install just in case.

It took me around 2 hours to install it and afterwards the bike started right up (after the gas filled the carb) and was running much better already. I cracked the throttle a couple of times and I could tell right away that is doing a lot better. I put it all back together and took it into the yard and just a few hundred feet on the road. This thing will definitely pick the front wheel off the road or ground now and even in 2nd gear. Don't get my wrong, I am not a wheelie kinda guy but I like the throttle response. Now I just have to be very careful!

Hanky Mountain Ride Video 2

Here is another video off my "YouTube" site that is where Ken put his camera in his pocket upside down and recorded us riding part of the trails in the George Washington National Forest April 13, 2008. I rotated the video and the audio is not exact but close. The video footage is mostly looking at the ground but you can see me up ahead of him numerous times throwing rocks and dirt in the straights. It was a fun day!
