Ever figure it out? I'd like to replace mine as well.

Im sorry for your loss and thank you for saving mines 😂😂...R.I.P to the minutes lost!!

Hmmm, good question.. Well it never really bothered me I know it's got rubber bushings on the mounts because I had to remove it when I was trying to figure out how to replace the tach light bulb that was out, so I assumed it was to suppress the the bouncing somewhat.

Yes, all stock

@@knobbsdc-4358 What does it cruise at comfortably at on the highway? I thinking of buying one and use on bike rack on camping van.

Well my friend, J only been on the highway that one time for top speed testing purposes, but with some decent enduro 50/50 tires I would think around 60mph your good to go. Hope that helps.

Thanks

Yes!

@@knobbsdc-4358 Thank you. Fun videos. In a different video I noticed you were looking for a lock set, I found this on eBay for you, search for: Yamaha XT350 XT 350 1988 OEM Lockset Gas Cap Helmet Lock Key Upper Clamp #RAS

@@markh4408 Hi Mark, yeah I got the OEM set some time ago, only thing is the ignition key and the gas cap, helmet key lock cylinder are not compatible, went to a couple of motorcycle locksmiths, they all told me the same thing. So I have separate keys for all locks, kinda sucks at the time, but I'm already used to it. Thanks man!

The rack I picked up on eBay, It was hard to find,in fact the 2 forward ends pointing towards the seat were too long and I had to cut them down to fit. Just used a hacksaw. The case I got at Harbour Freight, It's water tight and had to drill 3 holes in it to line-up with the rack mount. Works great for extra tools and cell phone storage. It also has outside padlock mounts if you want to extra secure your goods.

Aloha back to you man...

Yup, we're just pretty much a couple of disasters having fun...will keep up the practice.

Well, off the top I can tell you the DR lighter, more compact, has great suspension AND an electric starter....a define thumbs up.

Wow,I just reD you post, sorry for the delay reply. I found the XT350 posted on Craigslist years ago. When I went to see it it was nothing like the pictures posted. I followed the owner in back of his house, inside a carport buried behind a cement mixer, 2 lawnmowers, a cement dolly, some old ladders and some other stuff he un-wedged the bike which looked like a plaster of mud with 2 wheels. I thought forget this and was ready to walk away, still I asked him if the bike even ran, so many parts were missing it was very disappointing. Anyway I pulled out a screw driver to turn the inginition on since he had lost the key...he engaged the choke and kicked over the kickstart one time and to my amazement the darn bike fired right up. So I test road it and made a deal, thru it in the back of my truck. Took it home, completely dismantled the bike and 3 months later put her hack together with all new missing parts and I've been enjoying it ever since. These bikes are truly hardcore machines an so reliable even after 29 years.

@@knobbsdc-4358 thanks for the reply i actually found one about a month ago paid $1400 usd for it its got 4300 miles on it and its in almost mint condition i will be starting to post videos of me riding it on my channel soon. i love the bike and mine sat for about 20 years and it starts up and runs awesome. it would be awesome to ride with you some day!!

Great job! Wow what a great find. Solid deal for a great bike. Well, I'm in Florida. Give me shout, your welcome to join us for a ride 😊

Naaaaa

Hi Kamen..I'm at sea level here in Florida not to far from the coast. My jets are stock, I haven't found a need for any performance mods on my bike except for the suspension. Yep, I do often forget to turn off my signal light. I have to continually remind myself it has to be turned off manually. These bikes are great for just a out any type of terrain, super reliable and very inexpensive to maintain. Thanks for your comments. I appreciate your views man, enjoy your ride and be safe.

@@knobbsdc-4358 How is the market for new original parts in the US? Here in Europe I struggle to find some plastics around the chain, and new exhaust and some fresh rubber parts for the carbs. I like to keep my bike original too, but lots of discontinued parts. I ride in between 36m to 800meters above sea level. Stock jets too, but my exhaust has been changed, welded and a with a smaller diameter than the stock one, yet my bike is still running a bit lean but I am not done in tuning the carb air/fuel screw.

@@KamenKachevWell, I've been able to find pretty much about 99% of my needed parts on ebay. What I do is when I see a vendor selling parts I may need, I always write to them asking for any other parts they may have but not yet posted, usually they are happy to respond with in a day. As far as your air/fuel mixture...factory setting is from a light closed position, 2 and 1/8th open, less is ok,more us not, that's it. Then don't ever touch it again. I'll see if I can find a used parts vendor for you and post it. Most new OEM parts i have found in the UK or Spain. Only part thats been hardest to find has been the carbs, I have an extra one as backup. Thanks

Hey Tim, thanks for the request, next time we go out I'll swap helmets with Alex so we can get more video on the XT with the gopro for you to enjoy. But I gotta warn you, We just picked up a Trials bike, the front caliper was sized and we're also rebuilding the master cylinder, parts should all be here by Tuesday and both Alex and me are hot to ride the thing..it's a GasGas 250, so watch for it.

Definitely, I would suggest avoiding highway if at all possible but if you must for reason's you may be forced to, then try keeping it at around 45mph. Thanks for sharing,

Hi Bernd, that DR is definitely a quick. I like them both m, the DR350 with the elec start is a super sweet and the handling is superb which inspired me to upgrade the suspension on the XT350, she now glides thru practically anything we throw at it. Really, they both have qualities i want when we're out on the trails. BTW, we just picked up used Trials bike in hopes to practice sharpening ou enduro riding skills, watch for it in hopefully in the next coming weeks. Thanks for your comments.

Agreed. It was my first time on the highway, the bike has Kenda 270's 50/50 dot tires which were to my surprise pretty stable. My XT350 is #1 choice 95% of the time I ride, very dependable and comfortable to ride all day.

Well, I gotta tell you it was a surprise to me also, I had never ridden the XT350 on the highway before.
