Anybody have a DR/SP 370/400?
Published (2009-11-13 06:07:00)
Number one change would be suspension! Go stiffer all around, and I would use bigger forks. Number two? Better drums (dual leading shoe) or a disc brake on the front. Later TS250s have them, as do the DR350s (which I feel come with very good forks!) The SP400 was just a poked out SP370, which as stated above, was a DR with street bits. The later DRs went to a four valve, twin cam design, so that's out for engine swapping. Maybe look into...

I'm trying to figure out what the OP wanted. We've got three different definitions of "fast" acceleration power, which is easily confused with acceleration, but entirely different and top speed. So, which "fast" did you really want?

The MegaCycle stuff is really nice stuff the prices were always reasonable as I remember. You might look at WEB cams in the U.S. also.

Hate to seem simple...but it sounds like fouled plug.
And don't "clean"the old one. Get a new one.
Unless you've done this..then ,nevermind..
If it might be a grounding issue,take a volt meter and test for low voltage from ground points on the frame to anywhere on the motor. If it shows low or any voltage (ac or dc)then you have resistance or bad grounding[(ohms law,not mine)]sorry....a ...

Yep, all interchangeable.
Powroll, among others, have big bore kits. They really help a TL be competitive.

The plug couldn't foul if the ignition cutout, it would just get a wash if you were on the throttle. If it runs straight away after swapping plugs you are fouling plugs.
Plugs foul because they aren't running hot enough to burn off deposits. So it could be your heat range, jetting or the ignition system isn't strong enough to fire a dirty plug.

Before exploring the CDI, you should check the more obvious stuff:
carb clean and adjusted properly?
gunk in fuel line?
gunk in tank and/or clogged filter?
valves in spec? had one bike the valves were walking out of spec, would start ok, but if it died once warm, it was very, very hard to start again.
spark plug/wire good?
what's the compression like?
is the gas old?
The smaller XTs ...

As a few of you know, I own a 1981 PE250 and am quite proud of it, and the laundry list of mods done to it.
Locally, a 83 PE250 has come up for sale.
I know nothing about the fate of the PE250 after the Z model, which was a carbon copy of my X (stock, that is)
Does anyone have any info on the D model?

I had the same issue when I was looking for tires for my XL350. I ended up with a set of Kenda dual sport tires for the bike. they work well but are not the style I was looking for. Oh well.
