In fact it is the only thing that is tough. This is the toughest part of the installation. The TM40 is just a bit longer (or wider) from intake to exhaust than the stocker (stock is 98.13 mm, TM40 is 105.10 mm) and a bit of lubricant goes a long way in making it easier to squeeze the TM into that smaller space. The next step in the instructions recommended spraying a bit of WD40 (or some other lubricant) in the two rubber boots that the carb slides into. I would have struggled for awhile and then cut them off anyway, but this saved a bit of a struggle. The TM40 doesn’t have anything there to use those and it really needs the room. Next they told me to trim the two little centering tabs off the rubber portion of the intake manifold. You can remove this little plastic reservoir now like they recommend, or call them up later and order a new one as you will probably break it off somewhere during the installation process. This allowed me space to get my monkey paws in to finagle the new TM into place from the right side of the motorcycle. The first good tip was to remove the rear brake reservoir from the frame. Besides, I get a nasty look from the boss when I ask a question that is right there in the instructions! Well, good thing I did as there were a couple of important steps that I may have skipped over had I just plowed forward pushing and shoving the new TM into place. I mean, hey, these folks have done it a time or two so maybe they know something that I don’t. That pretty much did it for the removal process.īefore starting the actual installation I decided that a quick peek at the instructions wouldn’t be a bad thing.

I mean, you have to do that to install a new one, right? Along with the carb came the secondary filter and the bar mounted choke lever.

Hey, I know how to work on a motorcycle, what can they tell me? I started by pulling out the old carb and cables.

When my order arrived it was all there in one box a new set of throttle cables (shorter inner cables than stock), a baggie full of jets and a complete instruction packet.īeing your average male, I dove into the project without first reviewing the instructions. I really like the quiet factor so I can just about ride past the wildlife in the woods without spooking them. Told them I had a modified airbox with an aftermarket filter and the stock exhaust. I am just a regular Joe that ordered this carb from the web site. Congratulations! So, for the next few minutes I beg you to forget that I work at ProCycle. You finally purchased a TM40 carburetor for your DR650, or are at least thinking about doing it. You do not want to use the stock cables with this set up. They are shorter than the stock cables, so routing will be different.

Procycle are the world leaders in DR650 aftermarket and performance modifications, a staff of ten people plus testing and building product exclusive for the legendary DR, this complete carby kit is an example, beware imposters you will not buy better than a Procyle kit ! This is without a doubt one of the best and easiest modifications you can make to the Suzuki DR650. This makes it easier to reach the knob, especially if you have an oversize tank. Updated! Instead of the tough to reach choke knob, all TM40’s now come with a remote choke and bracket. The carburetor comes pre-jetted for the typical mods: performance pipe and modified air box. It even has a vacuum port for the stock fuel petcock. We also include new low friction cables, an extended fuel screw, complete instructions along with a wide range of extra jetting for fine tuning. Our complete kit comes with alloy adapter rings bonded to the carburetor body for a firm reliable fit in the stock air boots. The Mikuni TM40 does all of that plus runs smoother at lower RPMs and pulls taller gearing with ease.
