Very understressed.
My Nordie was 47hp and 558cc
But the DR has a nice fat torque curve right from 3000rpm

what jetting did you end up with?
I have a 04 i have cut the top air box and re jetted with a dyno jet 160 main
and needle.still running stock exhaust.
made a big diference in power and a huge hit to economy .
probably not help by 14 tooth front sprocket an copious amounts of right hand.
Completely standard jetting.
Just 1mm higher on the needle.
We tried a 170 jet but... nope
My exhaust dosn't flow much more than stock though.
My AceWell ACE-3100 speedo arrived today
Only took 2 months.
I must say, it looks better than the original and has a rev counter too.
Also normal trip meters, max revs, max speed, avg speed, odo, total running time (engine hour meter), wired to 12v for backlight.
Mounted onto the existing speedo bracket and ran the cable inside the fork boot.
I've had to tie the clutch cable out of the way a bit though as it wants to go through the middle of the speedo
I have shares in a zip-tie company
The furry hanging from the brake line is a squeaky Kiwi, just have to make him a helmet from a ping pong ball and a pair of goggles now.
Lookin' good! What'd the speedo cost ya?
That must be the most blinged out DR in the country!
Cheers

$197.57 from Acewell Meters in the UK.
So far all the mods have cost me $197.57 total.
The bike shop owes me a few more dyno runs so I'll be looking at the dynojet kit, airbox lid mod and high-flow air filter with keen interest
Also add grind header weld to that list .
I gound mine yesterday.it has given the bike a bit more grunt
also seems to idle better/smoother.
You'll be amazed at how big/badly its welded.
another good free mod.
I didn't want to open the header up unless there was a competent welder around if I went too far
It is nice and lumpy, very much a "Gordon's Mods - XR400" type thing.
Yeah i thought about that too.
Its welded around the out side as well so i just ground it.(probably a bit more than i should of )
if it breaks i'll weld it up again
Hmmm...
Fuel consumption.
14t front sprocket, IMS 18.5L tank.
3rd gear in 50k zones (3500rpm) 270km to reserve.
4th gear in 50k zones (2600rpm) 324km to reserve - Normal gears/revs everywhere else.
I spend quite a bit of time in 50k zones and after the dynoing it's got more torque down low so tried a gear higher.
Seems to work.
Now putting a tank of 96 through it under the same conditions.
Today's idea was over the Maungatapu to Pelorus and back through the Maungatapu again...
Didn't start with a good omen as the speedo wasn't registering any speedy stuff.
After replaced a wayward speedo pickup magnet I headed off about 4:30pm.
Nice conditions and met a couple of 4WD's coming through toward Nelson.
40min in and heading down the other side it started raining...
Quickly (well very slowly actually) turned around and headed back.
Pissed down all the way back.
Clay, rock, rain, very worn stock tyres...
Hmmm...
Tyres for 70% road 30% dirt?
Just wish I could fit my 17" TKC80 off the Nordie on the DR.
I love that tyre.
Fri - Maungatapu.
Sat - Picton.
Sun - Whaiwhero - Dovedale Hill.
Mon - Maungatapu - Havlock.
I like the Mitas E07's.
Road holding is excellent on the seal and plenty of grip on the dirt.
30psi rear and 25psi front on seal is sweet.
Put the stock pipe back on for the last 2 rides and had problems pulling from 100kph.
Put the SuperTrapp back on today and it pulls from 100 through 120 and on like it is on steroids compared.
Where it was 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 it's now 100, 105, 110, 115, 120.
Quiet was nice but lack of go wasn't.
hey, i did welly to hamilton in the weekend, on a unbalanced rear...so unbalanced that you could see it bouncing!
mine's de baffled, with a stock airbox, running a 150 jet on main (i think)
mine has wicked torque, im shifting into 5th at 100+ kph....and 4th at 75kph....read what the manual says? 5th at 50kph
Jeessus shift in to 5th at 50k's the bloody thing will stall.
5ths only good for 100ks plus.better going into it about 125ks.
speed limit what speed limit?
4th for 50kph zones and 5th for 70kph.
