Howzit all
My dr650se is chowing juice like nobody's business. It's an 07 grey import from the US with just 200 clicks on the clock now.
On my first tank refill, I calculated the fuel economy at 7,1 litres per 100km My old dr ran at around 4,6l/100km. This bike's obviously jetted for sea level in the states. I had noticed the bike belches white smoke when I start her (especially with the choke on). Raw fuel I think. The plugs were also buring black.
Is this just a matter of changing the jetting?? I've never worked on a carb before, but I have fairly good backyard garage skills. I also have the complete dr650se manual on pdf.
But I'd appreciate advice on setting this baby up for Jozi altitude.
Gracias!
