DRZ400SM FCR39 Clone. Jetting And Accelerator Pump Check!

[@linksgarage1985]

This project is finished. 2 more detailed videos behind it ready to go for full install and first ride. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.

[@TBOSUMO]

Heck yes, can't wait for that full install cus it'll help me be able to put one on, as well. I seen that SloMoto video, too.. heckin good info! The funny thing is my gf bought herself a KLX300SM the same day I got my DRZ. Seems to be a popular combination 😁

Very welcome!

Thank you, thank you and thank you for doing this. I've been looking at fcr clones for the DRZ. This is by far the best video I've seen for details on the jetting. DRZ community is going to love this. Well done and merry Christmas 🎅

I’ve got a full install and set up right behind it. And the first ride video. I appreciate you guys watching and commenting. Let’s get it! 💪🏼

Can't wait 👍

[@prostreetgsxr]

Turn your accelerator pump nozzle so the stream hits the needle. That will help break up the fuel for a better mixture. I mastered these carburetors when I was running them on GSXR 1100’s back in the day :)

[@linksgarage1985]

Good tip!

[@rcvg69420]

How do you rotate it? Just grab it with pliers? I've got an E model DRZ with a 24 year old FCR in it. Thinking about replacing it with one of these Chinese FCRs sicne my original is kinda crusty and has given me trouble of the years. Though it does run ok at the moment.

Hey awesome video! I’m curious to know if you’ve found a way to keep those jets on the intake side out of the elements?

[@richardsalazar2527]

What’s the 3rd part used? eBay link don’t work anymore. Others work great, thanks again for your help!

[@linksgarage1985]

It’s just a intake boot from a DRZ E model. A piece of rubber hose will work just fine. You don’t need the link. Just more convenient that picking up a radiator hose at the auto parts store. Thanks for watching!

[@justoneperson]

How many feet above sea level are you? I have the same set up ( lots of help form you, thank you so much) I have one of these carbs coming and I’m looking to see what jets I’ll need at sea level. 🤘

[@SeasideStrangler]

So my DRZ has been losing power for a second in the woods at low rpms with this carb like its staved for fuel for a bit right at the bottom of the rev range, otherwise runs great idles great. Do you think I need to adjust the accelerator pump of rejet? Its got the factory jets same Kipa carb that you have there. I was hoping your were to going to show us how to adjust the pump but you just showed us that yours is great and moved on. So basically should i rejet the pilot to remedy my problem or figure out how to adjust the pump?

[@motorcyclesnjny6598]

You think that is the same as the genuine fcr??? I’m thinking to buy one but idk if put the clone will be the same result as the genuine

[@linksgarage1985]

Same a genuine, nope. But it could get the job done for a fraction of the cost.

[@drewt.4353]

What I like is that there are minimal hoses, fuel, I guess you can add a res overflow and the idle screw is not technically a hose at all!

Hey man what are the 2 jets on the red adapter side, I have the same pump and was wondering how many turns out you run the jet on the left under the red adapter,

I think those are the pilot and main air jets. I didn’t touch them. I could be wrong. But I think that is what they are.

[@jessecrawford2711]

021-216 at jets r us you will see why when you look at the adapter

[@BubbaB43]

You need the aluminum air box adapter because it uses a o-ring seal against the carb body and keeps both air jets out of the elements. There around $35-$50 but well worth the money.
