Last couple rides the bike has been popping severely through the carbs, starts around 3500 rpm and up and is getting worse, it pops five or six times each time I start getting on the gas and with each pop it momentarily kills the power, not like a fuel starvation bog but requires gearing down to get up hills, no popping on decelartion, bike starts and idles perfect, valve clearances are all up to spec, plug looks fine, compression is 159, fuel flow is good, I'm thinking it might be electrical since I dismantled/cleaned the carbs only 2500km ago when I installed a new top end. my question is if it's electrical which is the most likely part to cause this ? don't have a lot of cash so I'd really like to get it right, any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated ! ]]> Yamaha pursang http://www.dualsportbc.com/forums/showthread.php?12321-99-XT600-Severe-popping-under-acceleration Pilsner rock http://www.dualsportbc.com/forums/showthread.php?12320-Pilsner-rock&goto=newpost Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:58:47 GMT Pilsner rock on Salisbury lake is now accessible.

Please get riding decent riding kit, for your whole Body. A full-face helmet is the only way to go.

For your Bike, crash bars.

For dirt Bikes, crash bars if they make them. Metal skid-plate and metal hand-guards. Rad-guards are not a bad idea too. Don't ride off-road alone.

Riding Bikes is a blast, but it's dangerous as Hell. Protect yourself and your Bike.

Through the efforts of many in the Coalmont Community Association, new signs declaring the trail Multi-Use (at last!) have been erected on our portion of the KVR as follows:





While most riders continue to be respectful of our community, there are still a few who "don't get it" and speed through town, creating noise and clouds of dust.... If you see anybody behaving like that, please ask them to slow down so that we can keep the KVR, and indeed the town, quad friendly.... Coalmont, the Granite Creek Rec.

The snow is melting fast and is expected to be gone by the weekend.

The plan is to meet up at The Old Settler Pub (east side of the main drag into Harrison Hot Springs just as you get to the village) at 10:00AM and ride over Kookipi to Boston Bar. We can have lunch in BB and then decide if we want to ride over the Nicoamen FSR to Lytton, or take the hwy home. There are a few short rough spots on this road but nothing that we can't get a big bike over, the rest of it is easy and scenic - a great ride.

Please post up here if you're interested.

Hey guys, coming from Victoria, I am looking for the shortest offroad route through the Sooke area, upto Weeks Lake then Kupor out through Shawnigan. It seems the water shed has grown in the last year and things are different. Basically looking to get onto Butler main upto Bear Creek Res then onto Weeks Lake. Butler main comes out onto Otter Pt Road but seems the gate is closed, atleast the times I've been there. Can anyone help? Trying to avoid going all the way out to Boyds or Anderson. On a KTM 690 so a bit of single track trail work is fine to get around some gates etc. Thanks ]]> South Island DualSport Riders Diesel Dude http://www.dualsportbc.com/forums/showthread.php?12287-Sooke-to-Weeks-Lake DRZ400s axle wrench? http://www.dualsportbc.com/forums/showthread.php?12286-DRZ400s-axle-wrench&goto=newpost Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:29:25 GMT What size wrench do i need for my DRZ400s axle nuts? 32mm?

After mucking around a bit, I discover that the airbox is FULL of gas...I mean FULL...musta drained 2 cups outta there!
Tow truck brings me home, I dis-assemble carb to find nothing.

In one day, I've lost all confidence in this machine. Couldn't find what caused the problem, so I'm not sure if I've fixed it. Makes me think twice about driving deep into some FSR.

Oh, and the stock tools you get in that crappy little pouch...they are worthless. So I learned two lessons today.

BCAA is your friend.
Stock tools must be replaced.
