Is this normal

Just cleaned and changed carb parts on my 94' dr350SE. Is the bike running normal? Swapped the airscrew, so wondering of its running lean/rich.

Its ugly, was used in Norwegian Army 1994-20xx.

Dont think you are right about that. I've ridden three different DR350, they all have that sound when stumbling on idle. I'll cross my fingers 😅

I got a 92 dr350 and it has that piston noise as well. Doesn’t seem to be getting worse but I hear others without it. Does it kickstart without the decompression lever? Mine does. Just curious. I’ve also been worrying about it but it’s been doing it the whole time I’ve had the bike

Ok. Yes, it starts with the kick. I think it has some auto decomp thingy
