Our complete DR650 project series here! bit.ly/3gQEStP HOW FAR DO YOU WANT TO GO? This video assumes you are fully derestricting the DR650 and using an aftermarket exhaust. Level 1: This is around two hours work and assumes you keep the stock exhaust. It costs nothing if you modify your own needle. - Modify the existing needle (or aftermarket) - Remove the rubber snorkel from the airbox - Reset the fuel/air mixture screw . Level 2: Around three hours work, you'll need an aftermarket jetting kit unless you modify your needle yourself and drill out the main jet. - Modify the existing needle (or aftermarket) - Remove snorkel and cut a second hole in the airbox - Replace the stock 140 main jet with a 150 main jet - Reset the fuel/air mixture screw. Level 3: five hours work, a great alternative to the expense of a pumper carb. It assumes you fit an aftermarket exhaust. - Modify the existing needle - Remove snorkel and cut a second hole in the airbox - Replace the stock 140 main jet with a 150 main jet - Reset the fuel/air mixture screw - Remove header pipe and grind back the inside weld - Shorten the carb slide spring - Drill a second hole in the carb slide. TUNING WITH MIXTURE SCREW When adjusting the mixture screw, don't go past two turns. If you need to in order to get the bike running well, you should go up to a 45 pilot jet. Fine tuning the needle? If you are really trying to get the best results, you can use very a very thin washer with the needle positioning to get half clip adjustments - if you are into fine tuning! Most of us won't worry about this. SURGING? You may find the bike surges. Often this occurs if you just take off the air filter 'door' instead of cutting a hole as specified in the vid. It might also occur if you cut too large a hole.

I've been fighting the carb on my 95 DR650 the whole time I've owned it (over 6 years) it came with a modified exhaust and the snorkel removed. I added a better filter and Dyno-Jet kit to try to tune the thing ...something was always wrong :-( I tried dozens of combinations of jet sizes and clip positions, I'm not exaggerating. it was never quite right. After watching this video I figured ...Why not? I dug out the stock needle, chocked it up in my Dremel and tapered it with some Emery cloth 'til it ...um, looked good? installed the modded needle with a small shim and installed a .150 jet. clipped 3/8 inch off the spring (What the hell is a millimeter?) I took the bike for a rip just now. it runs better than it ever has. I am flabbergasted! The goofy Aussie was right! This is EXACTLY what my bike needed. Thank you for posting this.

If anyone in OZ is interested in a GSXR pipe or FCR39MX pumper carb, I have both that came off my DR. The carb has been fully stripped, rebuilt and jetted appropriately for Australian conditions. Includes intake adapter and new clamps to make it fit Prior to selling the bike I refit the stock components, in all honesty I prefer the bike with just a jet kit and whats shown above. In fully stock trim it is a bit of a joke, but with an opened up airbox it sounds much meatier, and the carby mods can get you pretty good throttle response, at least 90% of the way to a pumper carb. However what I found is you need to either go for throttle response via overly rich jetting (overcompensates for a lean shift when cracking throttle open, so its actually the right mix straight away) or you jet for economy and suffer some throttle response. A pumper will get you both. But overall I enjoyed it with slightly reduced response because its a gentle giant. As soon as you start chasing those performance enhancements or big improvements it gets expensive and you're never really satisfied. It's always just going to be a DR

Excellent! You should be paid by Suzuki for your magnificent instruction video. (Yeah right, like that will happen) One thing I don't think you mentioned is that in the US we don't get the clip adjustable needle like other countries do. And our idle jet screw has a soft brass cover installed to keep us from having a good running engine. That is easily removed fortunately, and a very handy extended idle jet screw is available for easy, no screw driver needed adjustment. This vid is an excellent instruction on how easy the DR is to wake up from sleepy Zombie state to extreme enduro ready power.

+ADVENTURE OZ I tried the drilled slide, new jets and adjusted needle. I might have completely botched it up because I had a weird jump as soon as I laid into the throttle. I would give it gas, it would accel for a second, then bog out briefly and then continue to accel. I soon after bought the TM40 and that seemed to fix all the problems with the carb. Since then, I have had zero problems with it. Great video by the way!!

+Matt Lawson i'm not carby expert but if you still had the stock needle that would create issues... i think the standard carby either needs the stock needle tapered as per this vid, or an aftermarket needle, to really work properly. a well setup TM40 may outperform gordon's stock carby mods by quite a bit but he's had trouble finding anyone with a well setup pumper carby on their DR to do a direct comparison.

i did everything thats listed in level three ( 0:15 ). with the extra drilled whole in the air box it loses a lot of power down low to the middle rev range and gains only a really slight amount of power in the far upper rev range. thats why i taped it off. also i got a different muffler (GPR Furore) which is unrideable in the lower rev range when the db eater is in. it stalls if you ease the clutch out. without the eater it has a lot of power and doesnt stall when easing out the clutch but its obnoxiously loud (comparable with a ktm 690 with leo vince x3 without db eater). also i never had the front wheel come up so easily. first time i got it up easily was last week when i changed the gearing from 15-41 to 15-45 and installed a high performance header pipe. still needs the upper rev range for me to clutch it up. im a noob when it comes to wheelies and probably dont have the right timing but it should be way easier on such a big thumper i think. i mean maybe she lost some power over the years and thats the reason.... shes 19 years old and has 70.000km on the clock

Honestly I messed around with these sort of tricks for years, and realize it's like trying to cut a foot off the bottom of a ladder, and taping it to the top to make it longer. You get a little more top end power, and myself always wound up with some dead or flat spot in the middle to low end somewhere. I went through a dozen combinations of jets, pull the carb 50 times, did runs and checked the plugs. In the end I just put a Lectron carb on. So people who want to open the airbox, and put a free flowing exhaust on that's my recommendation. Just save up for a Lectron or a pumper carb. The Lectron gets generally better miles per gallon, the pumper carb has the opposite effect. Dunno why but it does. However a Lectron carb is around $800, and a pumper carb can range from $400 - 650.

@@marcelcanuck Yeah my buddy did this to his, but he had flat spots too. Racers did this years ago because for example they might only care about how it runs at full throttle, or for a enduro hill climber might only care about low end torque. In generally stripping emissions stuff will get you a little boost. But none of it is like adding a pumper carb or a lectron carb performance wise. You're talking about a few extra foot pounds of torque, and better throttle response. Which is good but a pumper carb will make it a difference animal entirely.

Shimmed the needle with a number 4 washer. Cut the spring. Cut 2 holes in the slide. Didnt cut the airbox though since i didnt want to rejet it. Runs good. The bike ran super lean before , now much better. The airbox cut may throw off the jetting which I did not change, and works good with stock jets.

I have been watching your vids for a long time - when I am not laughing I am enthralled with your excellent coverage of the DR650, a truly majestic bike that you can rebuild to whatever standard you want. 2 questions - firstly if I was to grind out the lip inside the header pipe, would I need to change the needle/ settings in any way? I have done all the carby mods you cover in this vid and have a Stayintune muffler. Secondly, what are your thoughts on using a broad band oxygen sensor to get the best out of the tune up? Would it be worth the money (
@crosstrainingadventure
3 жыл бұрын
I've never seen anyone dyno the DR650 to see if grinding that lip makes much difference, Noel. I didn't' actually do it on my latest DR650 and the performance boost seems about the same. Remember that grinding also weakens the pipe a bit so it's more likely to break if it hits something. I've never even heard of an O2 sensor. The stock BST carb is very forgiving when it comes to getting things a bit wrong, I doubt the sensor would make much difference, if any.

I'm having a bit of trouble with modifying / upgrading the carb on my DR. 1 My carb is from a 2003 DR. I purchased a noname BST40 rebuild kit on line. I received a new emulsion tube in the kit and it differs from the original. At Motolab I read their article on worn id of the emulsion tube which probably accounts for the heavy carbon deposits in the combustion cylinder. I read also the pilot jet was supposed to be 45.0 Mine revealed a 42,5. I installed the 47.5 I purchased from you. so far so good. (Motolab owner says there is no reason to replace the stock pilot jet.) I began putting the new parts into the carburetor and discovered the new emulsion tube from the rebuild kit is different from the original that I removed from the carburetor. I have 3 needles and none of them fit the ID of the needle jet. Yet all of the needles will fit the original emulsion tube. I have also read there are a couple of pre manufactured needles depending on the performance required. (ie: the DJ needle you mention above.) So what's going on here? Am I just a victim of parts made from Chinesium or am I missing something here? I've used most of my measuring equipment here. I don't need to measure the ID of the Emulsion tube. I understand the taper is considerably different from the needles I have, as well as the original Jet. Further to the original.. I have just now read notes on measuring the wear of an emulsion tube, and decided to insert each of the needles I have and measure the distance from the top of the Emulsion tube to the top of the needle when the needle is inserted till it stops. The original needle that came from the carburetor was protruding .910". The needle which was supplied in the rebuild kit protruded .888". the needle I purchased from Motolab (part number 13383-32E00 protruded .625. This indicates to me each of the needles tapers differently. I'm pretty confused at this point. I can be reached at Bunkmuffin@gmail.com.

I drilled main jet using drill bit 3/32" diameter. it starts with no problem idles good and revs up good the problem I'm having is the moment I start driving and give it full throttle it runs very rough. I have messed with the fuel/air mixture screw. from one full turn all the way to two full turns. did I taper the needle too much? or is the main jet hole too small or too big?

Depends on how you ride of course, Eric. It's typically one or the other. Use the extra power and your economy will be worse than before. Or don't use the extra power and you'll get slightly better economy. 😊 If it was fuel injected you'd probably get both at once, the DR650 is a pretty inefficient bike in that respect. I remember a mate with a fuel injected 690 getting 50% better economy than me on long rides... and he was hitting the throttle harder.

Did this a few months ago - very noticeable improvement just with a 'Busa can and sorting that header weld out. Got 2 Busa cans taken off a new bike for $200, made 2 adapters and sold the spare system for more than the cost of the whole job. If you run a neat 3-4mm TIG weld round the header pipe collar you can make that internal weld flush with no issues. (6 months and 10,000k so far) For an adapter pipe - a standard 1 1/2, 45 degree bend, short length of pipe then a 90 deg bend cut in half to make the joggle worked for me (with a bit of grinding). I have a drawing of the Busa flange if anyone is interested - printing it out 1:1 and sticking it to the plate is easier than marking - don't use contact adhesive it will shrink the drawing.
