Man, instead of installing a fuel filter I should of just bought a new petcock like you....

[DeanR]

What I did in the last 3 days...

Installed new petcock o ring and ims gasket

New front sprocket lock washer plus the threadlocker on shafts.

New circa barends and new plastic for bark busters

2 new rubber bands for headlight

New grips ( the old ones were so old and bad that they were literally melted/gooey at almost freezing temperatures.

Air filter, oil change and filter

New gas line with metal element filter

New vent line for tank

70 degrees in NE Ohio today, I actually got to ride!

I also sorted out the JD Jetting FCR-MX kit on my bike. Buy a 40 pilot if you use this kit on a big bore.

That looks just like the raptor petcock

Just picked up a like new 2011 DRZ 400S - so pumped. Owned a 2007 a few years ago and have always regretted selling it. Glad to be part of the DRZ family once again. Also happy to be back on Thumper Talk.

It is one for that and the wr400. I had originally bought a super cheap one off eBay and it needed a lot of fuel line to make it to the carb off of the new drz"e" tank so this particular one was on amazon and had one day shipping seems to be pretty nice in quality aswell

Tried installing a jetted slant FCR39 today, but was not a success. My settings were:

-160 Main Jet

-45 Pilot Jet

-Removed Pilot Air Jet

-200 Main Air jet

-JD needle, clip 3rd

I've read recently that I'm supposed to keep the pilot air jet installed, so I'll tinker with the carb a bit tomorrow, and reinstall that 60 pilot air jet. The bike does run, but only when the choke is fully open, and cuts off as soon as I close the choke.

A buddy and I got bored and had some stainless bar and plate laying around so we decided to make a rack. We didn't really like how many of the aftermarket racks were bulky and squared so we fabbed this one up to try to flow with bike a lil more. It'll be perfect to hold bookbag as that's all we need in big city anyways.

Swapped back to SM trim. Took off computer/speedometer and speedo cable

Does you know of a compatible vacuum petcock with a right angle gas port like the WR400 petcock? I prefer vacuum to manual because I'm lazy, but with the Clarke 3.9, it would be nice to have a more compact petcock.

I have the stock petcock on my Clarke 3.9 and use all the stock fuel lines with no issue. I did a quick search around and had not found any 90 degree vaccuum petcocks. But if I see one I'll shoot you a message

Took off the big headlight and slimmed up the front end a bit

S that a custom headlight what did you use for the light ?

It's an off-road light I found at the local auto parts store. Kind of a spot light that I angled down so as to not blind anyone.

Finally got my FCR39 slant carb working for my DRZ today, and man, it's a night and day difference from a jetted BSR36 carb. More power in all gears, and my bike still pulls me quite hard even when riding at 70 MPH in the freeway. Great upgrade!?

I hope to do this soon. I'm rebuilding an old E model one. Was yours nice and clean or did it require some work?

It took some work, and I'm still tinkering with it. My bike tends to go at very low idle whenever I hold the clutch in while applying brakes to stop, and I think I might have to mess with the idle adjuster a bit.
