So will the blinker wire work for both blinker and running light or do I need to connect 1 diode to running wire and 1 to blinker?
@DR350Rider12 күн бұрын
The problems that arise from using LED turn signals come from the blinker indicator light on your gauges. The diode fixes that. Running lights are not a problem.

@umpquaoutdoors13 күн бұрын
No, this fixes front and rear. The diode kit is actually fixing the indicator lights on your dash or instrument cluster that goes haywire after installing LED's. If you are getting hyper flash ( blinking really fast) or maybe not blinking at all, you with need a LED Flasher Relay similar to this: www.amazon.com/Flasher-Blinker-Signal-Motorcycle-Modification/dp/B08FDKT47Y

Hello! Thank you for this awesome video! I am thinking of adding a kick start to my 97’ Dr350se. Will this eliminate the basic security the key provides? Can someone essentially hop on and ride off without a key? Or is there a kill switch of some sort integrated in these models? Thank you for any and all additional information!

Question for you.. did the install, now clutch seems like it's not fully releasing despite cable adjustments (impossible to get neutral)..do you think I may of over torqued the clutch basket- I went on the high side of 48ip on a cheap harbor freight wrench...
@DR350Rider12 ай бұрын
Yea, common problem with th DR. You need to leave the center nut almost loose. The fix for this is to take a little bit of aluminum off the back side of the clutch basket with a belt sander or something. I did this to mine when I had it apart because I always had that problem before I did this. Google it and you should be able to find some info on doing it.

Possible, yes. But it would probably be cheaper to sell your bike and buy an electric start bike. E-start motors use a different case so you would pretty much have to buy an e-start motor and wiring, bigger battery, CDI, different intake manifold, airboot and carburetor.. There are a few relay/sensors involved. It wouldn't be cheap or easy.

Same issue on a 96 Ranger with the 3.0. Ground sender, gauge pegs to hot. So, not the instrument cluster. Drive for a while, gauge will stay pegged below cold, even when engine is hot, then later, after thermostat opens, then gauge will suddenly move to the center, takes around 15 minutes. Ford thought it was the Sensor, since I already changed the Sender AND I checked the Sender wire and it is making a good electrical connection. So, changed the sensor too, same issue. So, still unsolved.
@umpquaoutdoors9 ай бұрын
My guess is the thermostat is sticking/bad. It sounds like it's sticking till it gets warm and then finally pops open and probably gets stuck in that position. I have a '98 Ranger 4.0 and when I first bought it the thermostat was stuck wide open, The gauge never moved, the motor didn't warm up much and the heater didn't put out any heat.

Nice charring on the edges but the top doesn't look baked enough. You have a very good pizza oven and all you have to do is lift the pizza with the pizza peel to "Dome" it and the top will get the necessary heat from the flames to brown the top a bit more.
@umpquaoutdoors11 ай бұрын
Yes, using this oven it an ongoing learning experience. I built it well over a year ago and still every pizza comes out a little different. Got to get the stone just the right temp and the fire the right size, it's easy to get one or the other or both too hot (or not hot enough). But there is nothing like a wood fire pizza, even one that doesn't come out perfect.

@umpquaoutdoors11 ай бұрын
@@orlandoholwerda2373 No, the diode fixes the problems that arise from having LED's with a single indicator light on the instrument cluster. Power can only travel in one direction with LED's. It's a totally different problem then the flasher. With some stock flashers, LED's don't put out enough power for the flasher relay to recognize them so you need a flasher that will work with the small power that LED lights use. It's kind of the same thing that happens in some cars when you tow a trailer and have too many lights blinking and get hyper flash (blinking really fast).
@umpquaoutdoors11 ай бұрын
I guess I should also tell you to check your Flasher Relay to see how many connector prongs it has, either 2 or 3, and get an LED relay to match. The one I showed you at Amazon is a 3 prong, but if yours is only 2 prong, then look for one of those.
