Apparently that sound is the Turbo

It seems annoying at first but you get used to it. What jets, needle position are you running ?

I don't mind the whistle etc I just didn't expect a carb to make that much rattling.

MX-Rob standard FCR jetting kit set up as per his instructions.

You might find MXRob jetting is way to rich for NZ. I fitted an Innovate MTXL fuel air guage to see what was going on. I was in the 9's. 12.5 is beat for power. 14.2 is best economy although I dont think you could get a DR running that lean. With my EMP needle changed to top position, with the 1/2mm shim still under and a 150 main i'm running around 12.5 but still need a bit of work in the 0-1/4 throttle range. That changed my kmpl from 14-15 to 19-20. (2up and gear) could probably get a bit better still. I have an EMR needle to try and some other pilots for after the TAT. I have put it back to MXRob jetting for that. I just fitted a R&D flex idle jet from Procycle because I didnt like the MXrob adjustable one. I seemed to easy to turn and I had heard of them undoing. There was a tread on DR riders about Aus/NZ jetting. Aus fuel must be the same as ours. Will be interesting to see if MXRob jetting is right for our bike when we get to the States

Thanks Phil, 14-15 is pretty bad.

I haven't ridden mine yet, hopefully this weekend I'll take it for a trial run.

So the DR is all back together ready for a trial run, interestingly the revs go down when the choke is pulled on when cold, and go up when it's off. Re fitting the airbox has completely muffled the clattering the carb makes.

I hooked the Scotty up to the FCR and it seems to be working fine now. Must have been a leak or lack of vacuum or something in the BST setup, I just unplugged the tube from one and plugged it into the other

On another note, given that Intiminators are effectively an interference fit in the forks, how does one go about removing them?

On a 3rd note, My new to me m/c trailer has just arrived for when I trailer queen the DR to the Tron, so I don't have to blag Box'a'bits one all the time.

All Trailer Queens should really have ones own trailer.

Mandy wants to know who'll pay for the WoF's now?

Anyone want to borrow a trailer once every a six monthly basis? Next due Dec

Did the trailer come with a spare wheel?

I had thought about who's going to wof it now.

Yes it did, and there's outfit 5 minutes from my place that sells replacement ones also.

Thanks Nordie

I got a Long-bendy-pickup-thing from Supercheap and today pulled the Intiminators out of the stock forks, the Long-bendy-pickup-thing worked a charm. I then refilled the stock forks with some 15w and refitted those onto the DR so I can pull the DRZ forks apart. Unfortunately bike time is a bit irregular at the moment though.

Here's the 2 sets of forks side by side for reference
