I just had a Baja Designs light kit installed by someone. When the bike was delivered, it started great -- 2-3 kicks, but when riding, I noticed some hesitation at higher revs, and it sounded differently. Got on the bike yesterday and it would not start for nothing. Smelled gas. It was on the verge of starting, a few times it started for a few seconds, then died. It backfired a few times, when I kicked it. Tried all choke variations. The mechanic said he did some adjustments to valves and carb...Any suggestions most appreciated.! - -----Original Message----- From: Mike Harpster [mailto:mharpste@acuson.com] Sent: Friday, March 24, 2000 07:21 To: dr@lists.xmission.com Subject: (dr) Hard Starting I recently put a Mikuni pumper carb on my DR350 and have noticed it is a lot harder to start when cold.

You want the GPS to remain ON when you turn the key off. If you have a 350X (ie no battery) your headlight/taillight voltage is "AC" and will not run the GPS. To get "DC" you will need a rectifier and a small battery. Very possible to do it yourself, but if you want to take the easy way out, http://www.bajadesigns.com has everything you need including a prefab wiring harness and instructions.

That way you won't have to worry about it being turned off when you switch of the key. I do a lot of checking of topo coordinates while stopped. Just make sure you turn it off after the end of your ride. It will drain the battery, after several days. Don't ask me how I know!

Some weeks ago I found a boy (in the Web) who has modified his DR 350 to a Supermoto bike. Supermoto is, as far as I know, not common in the States, but in Europe - Enduro bikes with 17 " wheels and street/racing tires, especially for racing on outdoor cart tracks. If someone is interested in: send a mail to GM-Computer@t-online.de his name is Gernot.

Also, FYI, many Garmin GPS units will work on any voltage from 6 to 50. My GPS III+ also has a voltmeter built in. Handy to just check on the charging system.

Especially if you are running any >accessories. Hi John, A couple clarifications: Some Garmin units convert down to 5-8v (such as GPS12). If you're using a Garmin converter cable then you have to get pretty close to 12vDC. eMap, eTrex convert down to 3v. Many Garmins (II, II+, III, III+, 12XL, 12MAP) will run on 10v to 32vDC external power. They get sketchy down around 10v, so better provide 11-32v. If you have a tiny nicad battery (such as on BajaDesigns kits) using the rear brake a lot (as on mountain switchbacks) can run the battery down below 11volts, which causes the GPS to shut down. The voltmeter in the III+ is very handy for chasing down charging problems!
