Leave Jawas alone, OG... lest i come flying past you when you on your DT and decide to smoke you like a kipper i love my 350 to bits, yes its made from old tractor parts and kitchen utensils, but its mine, nobody else has one like it, its my second bike, something i can tinker with, take apart and learn about... and cheaper to insure than my little DT50! if i throw it down the road it doesnt really matter. -

Dam you all, teasing me with your tales of adventure, sun and bikes that can get up a hill without having to drop two or three gears, makes me more impatient to go touring ireland some nice scenery you got there on the other side of the pond, over here its been miserable weather, then a day of sunshine, then more miserable weather
-
erm, if it has a seperate tank in the frame can you not strip it down to the bare frame and remove the tank/plastics, then sand blast the frame and have it powder coated? you should give the frame a final prep before coating anyway to get rid of excess sand/dirt

nothing fancy, just a chrome K&N style filter instead of the original air filter.

i'll give ya £1500 for it
-
basically a little red light that goes on to tell you when to shift up, used commonly in racing i think Accumen do kits, try looking on busters/ebay/whatever
-
sounds like a plan, this way if you happen to write another on off it wont be a great financial loss, but make sure you get a good'un Biking, once its in your blood, you're hooked
-
i doubt its running lean at less than full throttle, if i am coasting to a stop or down a hill and drop the throttle back to about half/quarter the bike will sometimes bog down and only after returning the bike to WOT will it clear out and begin to fire again, it also has a tendancy to fourstroke at less than full throttle. surely raising the needle would make this worse?
-
needle is in the top groove, i was running the bike at WOT most of the time but lately ive been using the gears a bit more and not thrashing it to the same extent, sionce then it has been absolutely fine, no power loss or cutting out
-
bike runs absolutely fine, after mid-range it gets onto the powerband. with the 115 jet i currently have the needle in its lowest position, so by going up another jet size i would not be able to lower the needle
-
more than your 400 would ever be capable of

im happy to report my DT has not seized now that ive got the mixture set up a little better, but due to torrential downpours i was forced to retreat into the shed and managed do some work on my ol' Jawa today , stripped front brakes and cleaned them out before bleeding and re-fitting, front brake pads are almost down to the metal!
-
in the summer i just give it a go over with chain lube if it starts to feel dry, removing the chain completely and degreasing using an old toothbrush dipped in petrol to remove most of the stubbron sh*t before giving it a spray with chain lube and putting it back onto the bike.

Dammit, why wasnt i alive in the 70s?... that would have been soooo awesome
-
wow... want one

managed to make my way over to my dads place in hungerford, 15 mile trip averaging about 30-35, poor little DT was getting blown all over the road, struggled to make it above 40mph had lots of rain in hungerford aswell, luckily i arrived just before it started and left after the worst of it
-
given the carb a strip down and blown out the jets with compressed air. the engine doesnt NEED choke to run at full throttle, merely it WILL CONTINUE TO RUN. the needle is in the lowest notch already.
