It has a Scott's T handle airscrew & Dynojet kit. This is a single cable carb. If the carb or any parts on it can help anyone e-mail me. With so many carb questions I thought I would mention it.

Seems like a very good price on your DR. Good luck! I used to live in your neck of the woods, south of 20 off Bowen Road. I miss riding the mud hole north of six flags by the golf course. Is it still open? Mike A Nashville ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 May 1999 09:44:56 -0600 From: "Pokluda, Gino F" Subject: (dr350) You might be a dual sport rider if...

The question : I did read about suspension weakness on DRs , i have a 99 model , did Suzuki fixed the suspension problem , is it any better than the previous year model? Or does my 99 susp. have the same sickness as the others ( too soft) I could not tell if it is soft or not, because i always had " Rice-rockets" , Zx-6 , Zx-11, in the past, and could not compare to Mx or other DP bikes. Also if some one could tell me the best setting for compression and rebound adjustment on front and rear. I tried to adjust but could not tell much different, ( inexperience???). What is the most dangerous setting that one possibly can have , Low compression and high rebound? or the other way around? Thanks for any advice. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 May 1999 15:29:00 -0400 From: "Sperduto, Nick" Subject: RE: (dr350) Suspention -When-how George, for now set all the setting in the middle. The settings will change depending on the terrain you are going to ride. When I ride sand and whoops, I stiffen up the compression and slow down the rebound. But you don't want the rebound too slow or it won't rebound quick enough when going through whoops. If it rebounds too quick,. the back of the bike will jump off the ground and hit you in the butt. To quick of a rebound can be confused with to soft of a compression. If the bike compresses too quick and bottoms out, the back of the bike will also hit you in the butt. The first thing you want to do it set the rear shock sag at about 4 inch differnece between the suspension being fully extended and you sitting on the bike. Depending on your rider weight, you may want to go to stiffer springs. Norm Kouba can probably answers your questions more direct/ I've always found suspension to be trail and error. All my old bikes didn't really have much adjustment or were a pain to stop and adjust. But believe me, it makes a big difference.
