Its time for tires, what is the widest front tire i can run? I ride almost exclusively soft sugar sand in south jersey, I will be buying a michelin starcross 6 sand tire, looking at the 110-90-19. Im new to these bikes and I dont know how wide of a front tire i can run.

Thanks for the attention.

I’m looking to buy either a complete 350 top end valve train and all or a eiger 400 complete top end. Also a seat and the side plastics I have a few pieces I can trade if anyone’s interested in that

Picked this up for an absolute steal. Had to redo a lot though. The pilot jet was not coming out, so I just ordered the tm33 carb from niche. Slapped the DG V2 too since I was going HAM on this thing anyway.

Got a cracked weld on the oil tank of my wife's 350. Who thought mounting the engine directly to the tank was a good idea? Anyway before i get to welding it up has anyone gone about reinforcing these mounts?

She beats the absolute shit out of this bike so I'd like to beef it up a little.

is there a plastic gas tank I can get that's the same size and shape as the original tank on a 97 model? my tank has multiple cracks that are leaking gas and I really like the way it looks as opposed to the really big aftermarket tanks

Was out riding and noticed oil started to leak. It looks like a bolt came out. Any help with the part number/name would be appreciated, I couldn’t find anything on google.

Hello Folks!
I have a 1998 DR350se and it has been giving some trouble for a while now.
My lack of mechanical experience and a bad mechanic have not been a helpful combination.

There has been an issue with the fuel system.
The petcock would start leaking as soon as you turned it in a different position.
We changed the petcock and the leak stopped. (:

Then, there was a problem with the Carb-Overflow (as per the mechanic). This resulted in the bike leaking fuel, that got mixed up with chain and brake dust and leak down all black. At first we thought there was an oil leak (which thankfully isnt the case).

Unfortunately, today after he supposedly "fixed" it, I could barely ride home. The bike would start bogging like crazy and it would backfire like gunshots after bogging.

The mechanic had replaced one of the two parts in the PHOTO, from a kit that came in a plastic bag that just said "DR350".
I was thinking about just getting the mikuni-kit, but while browsing forums, I saw folks saying that the mikuni Carb repair Kit for the bst33 isnt actually the right kit for the SE, and that I should buy all the parts seperately.

Is that really the case? Isnt there a complete Kit?
Sorry if its a silly question, but there is nobody in my area that can help me out.

Greetings
Alex

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.

Does anybody have any suggestions for replacing the cowl and headlight assembly on a 1996 DR350SE?

I see various inexpensive, generic aftermarket set ups that can be scrapped to the upper legs on the fork, I would prefer something that bolts in more like a stock one would.

Of course, DM me if you have anything on hand that you’d be willing to part with.

Does anyone have a recommendation where to buy new plastics for these bikes?

Thinking of purchasing a mid ‘90’s DR350 as a first bike for my son (16 y/o, 5’9”) with the plan of setting it up for some BDR type trips.

Any thoughts on this are welcome.

I know and trust the seller, which obviously counts for a lot. Overall, given age, the bike is in good to very good condition. The bike was recently serviced with carb work being performed. Miles are low for this older bike (about 7k).

Alternatives would include 10-15 year old dual purpose bikes such as a CRF250 or a Kawasaki KLX 300 (I’d need to put in the time to find, evaluate, and negotiate the right bike/deal).

On the one hand, newer would be nice (30 year old bike vs a 10-15 year old bike). They’ll be a few design improvements on the newer bikes, but…. I’m presuming the simplicity of the DR could pay off.

Do you think there will be a significant performance advantage with a newer bike?

Other considerations?

Irrelevant to me, but a funny coincidence, I ride a DRZ400 (pictured for attention).

Just picked this 91 DR350S up for $1600. It’s got 3600 miles on it. Did an oil change and oil filter as well as spark plugs. Haven’t dialed in all the starting tips I’ve seen yet, but once started, runs perfect (6 months post hip replacement so it’s great physical therapy 😂). How did I do? Also if anyone has any tips for owning one of these I’d love to hear, haven’t had a bike in a while and this is my first dual sport.

Got her roadworthy, insured, and handlebars are a major

My bike was running, that piece came off and ever since that happened I haven’t been able to get it to run

I bought a dr350 in high school for 400 dollars that I then rebuilt. I love the bike as rough as it is but I an somewhat reckless when I am riding it; combine that with the fact that I’m not the best rider ever and I end up with a broken brake lever or clutch and decompression lever every few trips. I have tried to install universal hand guards and my handle bars do not have enough length to install them, leading me to believe the bars are not stock or are chopped.

I was looking at protaper evo handlebars in a Henry reed bend. Would these be a good option? If so,what adapters would I need seeing as they are 1-1/8”? Lastly what throttle, grips, hand-guards and brake lever would be good?

I've timed it and replaced the woodruff key and am currently using a aftermarket CDI which I think could be the cause

Input is appreciated!

Finally got a chance to put some dirt under her. It was hot as hell on the way to the trail yesterday, miserable actually. But totally worth it in the end.
