Added the FCR39 Carb and two bros pipe
Here is the carb up close, added the cable AFM way cool. Dont know that I'll need it much after dialing it in.
Picture of the ugliest bike I own and quickly becoming my favorite. Perdo E. will attest that the rest of the herd is homely too.
The pipe is louder than shit and needs repacked and a silencer cone aka buttplug.
The thing really rolls out now. Wheelies are on tap.
More farkles to come...

KC's DR 650 farkles
Re: KC's DR 650 farkles
Your DR is really coming along. The quiet tip makes a big difference. There are so many things you can add if you really want to and have the money. If you start doing alot of offroading then a suspension upgrade and a 14 tooth front sprocket are nice.
Personally, I'd still like an larger fuel tank.

Re: KC's DR 650 farkles
did you vent one of the carb hoses up under the tank? You'll need that for the water crossings next year.

Re: KC's DR 650 farkles
No I didn't vent the carb up under the tank. I will need to do this. That thing looked like an octopus too! Five vent tubes!!
At this point the only mods I'll be looking to do will be suspension, springs and emulators, many folks have been using these Intimidators from Ricor. I think they are too simple and over priced. I think people like them because they are drop in and are scared to mess with the fork, they do work, I just dont think they will work as well as emulators. PLus they cost even more. enjoyed to crap out of riding it yesterday and hope to have the dirt wheels done and readied buy weeks end.
Phil- I know what you mean about the tank...it's barely 3 gallons.. I've priced some used oversized ones but not found any deals of the century. I do hate the plastics the PO (prior owner) spray painted, what a freakin retard. I really want to find some decnt used blue or white plastics for this bike as it reallt does look like shit. Everything this cat has done to the bike I've had to go back and redo, rewire, etc etc.
Next mod is the stator rewire from Y to Delta for more amps and a voltmeter or ampmeter if I can find one. This shouldn't coast me much if anything, maybe just the gauge. I already picked up the sidecover gasket in prep for this deal.
I'll need to lay low on the farkling for a bit as I don't want the missus to freak out about the rent and such in February, business is slow as usual.

Re: KC's DR 650 farkles
Nice! I haven't really ridden a DR with the stock carb, but it can definitely move with the FCR...now if only I wasn't such a big wuss
I haven't looked into the stator rewiring in a while...how much extra is that supposed to buy you?

Re: KC's DR 650 farkles
I've been told the rewire from Y to delta config will yield approx. %40 more amps, but its supposed to be at a minimal peak volts sacrifice. I rode yesterday with a my Gerbing jacket liner and gloves and a set of heated insoles and noticed little if any lack of electrical drop. I did have my headlight disconnected during the day, on the way home I plugged it in and ran everything full blast. The bike started up fine afterward, but I don't have an amp meter or voltmeter connected to the bike. I've been told the DR stator is poor for electrical add ons...
I've got to get a meter connected for some real data. I run with a spare battery in my bag just in case!
The dude at Procycle said they were testing an aftermarket high output unit now. I told him to send it to me and let me put it to a real world test. I didn't see one in the box of stuff. fucker...

I can't see myself using any more than that on the DR, so I guess I'll hold off on the rewire. Thanks for the info I need to learn how to ride better before I need to screw with any more upgrades anyway.
Re: KC's DR 650 farkles
Thats pretty honest. Most of us are convinced that we desperately NEED that farkle for an extra horsepower b/c we are awesome and can absolutely ride the wheels off our machine.badguy wrote:[ I need to learn how to ride better before I need to screw with any more upgrades anyway.

I'm looking for a gyro-stabilizer so I won't fall down so much!

Hey Rat, Good job on the DR. I ride mine fairly hard and definitely suggest a suspension upgrade. You can also get a 45t rear sprocket,lots of fun!!
