I think I know what your getting at Mick. Thanks for that info.
Does the Flat slide need to be jetted ?

I use a flat slide pumper carby off a DR600. works great on the DR500 and no flat spots.

Handy to know as well, appreciate it.

Do you have any jetting specs for the DR 600 carb onto the 500.

Hi All,
Shocks on my DR are flogged strictly spring only action making for a ride with zero damping. What is best value for money in terms of replacement units. I will be honest ive got two kids so time riding is very limited therefore dont need top of the line gear.

Cheers

Contact ....Hone Heki, he knows of a place local that does rebuilds.

[aehunger]

Thanks I think...Although I read in my Clymer manual the units are disposable or is there new technology that make that statement untrue.

buy some yss shocks as there going to be more advanced then your 1980 std rebuilt shocks and wont be that much more in $$ value,youll even get springs to match your weight and riding style ;

[cloggy]

 I'd put 16.5" shocks on. The bike turns better and is still stable I'd check YSS against the price of a rebuilt set before you decide
 There is a second hand shock that works really well on DRs but I don't know if you got this military model down under. It's the Armstrong 500/Harley350 Rotax. I have a set of these on one of my DRs, they are 16.5" Ohlins, excellent quality , adjustable and the spring rate is just about right.

market is saturated with them..... plenty of candidates for GMC ftrame kits

How does the front end come away from the frame on the DR400? I can see a single bolt at the top of the triple clamp but am unsure about the remaining assembly method. Would appreciate any pointer on this topic. Also would like to know of the availability of piston ring sets in NZ.

[oldfart]

Ok ...undo the bolt you have mentioned  , then take out the pinch nut and bolt just below it .... then undo the pinch bolts LHS & RHS that hold your fork tubes - do the same with the bottom triple. You will need to elevate the bike a bit to allow the tubes to slide thru the triples....... are you with me 
Next there is a lock nut with slots in it just above the dust seal ( top of steering head ) undo that and make sure you hold the bottom triple at the same time to stop it falling on the floor
