Masshole DRZ Posted May 7, 2014 On my way home from a long street ride yesterday I did a good stretch of Highway , at least 40 miles of it before getting back on secondary roads . I was playing around with the throttle watching Rpms and the speeds and listening to the motor . I may have touched 9000 rpm a couple times . Once I returned to backroads my bike seemed Throatier . More air box noise , a Deeper , Throatier sound than I remember . I figured it was all in my head . But after I got home , got into family mode for a few hours and let the bike cool fully . I took it out later in the night to run an errand : ) The bike was definately quieter again . And I ran it up and down a favorite country backroad to "Test " it . Definately quieter. Just air box noise , not motor noises . ??????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clutch23w My Rides (3) Posted May 7, 2014 Enough heat into the valve stems can make them grow. It's a rare situation, but could produce the symptoms you are describing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thomasdgs My Ride Posted May 8, 2014 Was is running like a dog? If you had done a long pull like that it may have caused the engine to heat up so much that is threw it a bit out of tube an was causing a low end bog/lag. My snowmobile makes more intake noise on warmer days for this same reason. In that case I adjust the needle clip and it goes away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'll give that a try. To see what it will do for me. No It wasn't running bad . Of course I'm still tweaking things since I installed the cams , trying to get it the best I can .

Masshole DRZ Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) What's your current jetting , riding conditions and engine mods..?[/quote I'm at 156. Ft elevation . 3 x 3 mod using JD jet kit and what their recommendations were for sea level . It's been a while since I did the Jetting so I don't remember the specifics but I did add the extended fuel screw. My motor is all stock , I use an E header and I recently added stage 2 hot cams . Riding conditions. 90 % street right now . Recent purchase of Tard wheels has me enjoying the hell out of them. I plan on getting back into some Offroading soon . Then it will be a dedicated Offroad riding on Saturdays and mostly commuting and hooliganism during the week . Sneaking in some trail riding after work when possible. My Offroad riding is mostly Roots , rocks, and mud on tight trails in pine forests . With occasional open runs through gas and power lines which are usually loose and or sandy .
