[Padmei]

For what the DRBIG?

[Ally67]

No for something smaller:shifty:

[Padmei]

Jeez yo may have to be a bit more specific if you want him to get home.Or maybe you don't want him home...:shit:

[Ally67]

Well I do like having the bed to myself:yes:
It's for a DR350 :shutup::shit:

[junkmanjoe]

JMJ

[Ally67]

Yes
He's left the bike at a farm.
Last I spoke to him a few minutes ago I think he had started walking But he had to go because I think he got a ride. He was hoping to get Napier tonight.

[slofox]

Well I do like having the bed to myself:yes:


Yeah. Me too! :sunny:

[Phreaky Phil]

Bugger ! I could probably get one from the bike wreckers in the morning but then have to get it to him.

[junkmanjoe]

okies, just spoken to james, he is at Tuai.
which is fairly much middle of no where.........

[Ally67]

Has he had any help yet ?
Or something in the pipeline ?

[tri boy]

Got a txt from him saying he might be able to fix/patch the carb up tonight.
He is a big boy, and will be ok.
Adv riding doesn't really start untill your plan goes to shit.

[junkmanjoe]

ally im working on a contact in gisy....
if i still had my ute i wouldn't be sitting here...........but i sold it...........

JMJ

[Eddieb]

Bugger.&nbsp;

[tri boy]

Just heard via dino that James is bunking down with a local in Wairoa tonight. The bike is at a farmers place, he has the carb with him, and hopes the local bike shop can help him out tomorrow morning.
Good ol Wairoa hospitality, they will probably drink a crate of beer tonight, then go pig hunting:Punk:

[junkmanjoe]

i could tow him on the 950 i guess.........:scooter:

his plan is to make my place tomorrow, dont worry we get him here..:yes:

JMJ

[That looks like fun]

Crikey :gob: That will be covered by the warranty I suspect :shifty:
Couldn't pick a nicer town to break down in :yes: Many years and a starter motor ago I was pushing a big black Beemer through Wairoa toward the river intending to throw it in :shit: A guy asked if I needed a hand (looked at the height of the handrail and thought I will never get it over the side of the bridge on my own), I said yes and next thing I had a bike mechanic a free feed and accommodation. I love this country :love: Its full of good bastards :yes: Hope Jatz has the same luck (don't forget the warranty :shifty:)

[XF650]

That's a dodgey area to be hitch hiking in, isn't it?
Mate here has just bought a wrecked DR350 with carb but then Ashburton isn't exactly handy to Jatz just now.

[Phreaky Phil]

trying to find out what the number on a DR350x needle is.

[warewolf]

... and options! :yes:

[Squiggles]

trying to find out what the number on a DR350x needle is.

http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/suzuki-motorcycle-dr350x-1999/o/m5865
gives bikebandit part #: 1047418

Reverse lookup tells me its the same as in

1990 Suzuki DR350L 1991 Suzuki DR350M 1992 Suzuki DR350N 1993 Suzuki DR350P 1994 Suzuki DR350R 1995 Suzuki DR350S 1996 Suzuki DR350T 1997 Suzuki DR350V 1998 Suzuki DR350W 1999 Suzuki DR350X

^ thats useless actually, given it might be the other model (CV?) carb in which case its down to

1997 Suzuki DR350V
1998 Suzuki DR350W
1999 Suzuki DR350X

Is it a BST33SS?

Found this which might be useful in future (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HeRCNZWa0yYJ:www.suzukidr350.com/suzukidr350/majorrepairs/majorrepairsphotos/copyofCh%252016%2520-%25201997%2520DR350-SE%2520%28V%29.pdf+dr350v+needle&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=nz&client=firefox-a)

[Phreaky Phil]

I have been speaking to james and he's got the broken bit with the clip on out and is going to put the clip on the 2nd slot up(broken on 3rd slot) so ti should run, just a bit rich. I will still try the wrecker in the morning for another one and may be able to get it on the courier to somewhere, maybe your place Joe ?

[junkmanjoe]

yup that be good idea..


JMJ

[Ally67]

Thanks guys much appreciated:first:

[warewolf]

Is it a BST33SS? No, BST is the CV. Probably a TM33SS flat-slide with accelerator pump.


I have been speaking to james and he's got the broken bit with the clip on out and is going to put the clip on the 2nd slot up(broken on 3rd slot) so ti should run, just a bit rich.<del>He tried that, it starts and idles but won't accept throttle and he can't get it to rev past the rough spot.</del> Thinking about it, that sounds odd, one clip position wouldn't make that much difference, surely? :scratch: I'd expect it to burp & fart but forward progress should be possible.

Edit: spoke to him again, he hasn't tried it, he was talking about a different fix-it attempt.

[Squiggles]

Same as a KLX250S then? (http://klxforum.suncup.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=294) so mebe KawasakiNZ have one?

[_Shrek_]

just finished talk'n to James he going to put carb back in the morning & see if it works & has a local contact if it don't

:girlfight: :spanking: tiz a good place to break down old stomping (gizzy) ground for five years the locals will take good care of'em :shutup: :doobey: :drinknsin :corn:

Just spoke with him sounds like he's become one of the whanau :shit:

[NordieBoy]

So who is the 350 for then?

Zara?
She's the only non-DR rider there isn't she?


Needle one slot down should make it a bit rich/boggy through the bottom/mid but fine wide open :D

[Woodman]

At least the weather is fine.

Sounds like he has it sorted.

[JATZ]

It's all good folks, I has interweb (broadband too even :D ) striped the carb, borrowed a tool I didnt have from my host, will put the carb back in the bike tommorow and see how it goes.
Just realized I'm a day early...... Friday the 13 is tommorow :gob: but what could possibly go wrong aye :niceone:
Anyhoooo time for a shower and bed, might have a long walk coming up. And thanks for all the calls and txt's and help and stuff :yes:

Cheers....

[Waihou Thumper]

Did the bike decide to Kaput! itself there? Geez, talk about the back of beyond....
That is like Banjo country....:) BUT the folks are friendly there and a wave goes along way to all when we buzz the locals with dirt and dust...
Sorry to hear of your troubles James. Joe called me but, wow! that is a long way into the boonies from me even...:shit:
Seems like you have things sorted and good luck with the rest of the NI mate!
Hey, get yourself one of those AA prefer card things.......NEVER know when you may need it as well.
It helped me out when I was stranded from a long ride....Highly recommend James :yes:

[Ally67]

So who is the 350 for then?

Zara?
She's the only non-DR rider there isn't she?

Well no ,shes not the only NON dr rider :shifty:

[NordieBoy]

I consider the Tenere an honorary DR.

This is KB at its best.
This scenario happened a couple of years ago when Delphinus came up from the deep south.
He broke in in Huntly (poor bugger:shifty:) heading for Auckland. Rang me, I was in Mangawhai at the time. I rang FROSTY to put a thread up about it, within minutes, Ixion had made contact with Motu who lives in Huntly (poor bugger:shifty:) and got it sorted. Motu went and picked Delphinus and the bike up, I think it turned out to be a coil?
Top effort all round that time and this time!.....:rockon:

If he's stuck anywhere near Dannevirke, I could give him a hand. I've got a whole lot of 'fairly average' home brew I need to get rid of also:shifty:. Have to be quick though. I'm slowly working my way through my second bottle. :apint:

He can meet me at Upper Hutt tomorrow & go thru the main track from Karapoti to Paraparaumu. We have a spare bed near Wgtn airport.

Remember you guys are welcome to break down in Wanaka any time you want. :laugh:

I think so he just moved the needle clip up one notch running rish but at least it's running.Will still need a new needle though.

Me and The Boy are riding over to meet him at the ferry today so he can fill you all in when he gets home :yes:

[Eddieb]

The bike seems to be running ok. It started fine this morning and I've just sent him on his way to the ferry.

Ps I think you might need to pry him off it forcibly Mrs Jatz, he quite likes it.
