I don't understand all of these technical terms, does it wheelie or not? 😁 Glad to hear it's back on the roads/trails, congrats!

So weird, that's exactly the way it used to present when it had that issue in the past. Sometimes the tear was small and could only be seen when I stretched the diaphragm a bit like shown above and looked for light coming through. Good luck

The 'ol mule used to do that when the carb diaphragm developed a tear. It would run great until ~4k RPM or so? Then the throttle just didn't do anything, like it hit a wall. I had to replace the slide assembly 3 times over ~70k miles if I remember (can be bought from a Harley dealer for 1/2 price of Kawi part). Guess the new carb rules that out though. Any other source of vacuum leaks? Does the new carb have the petcock vacuum port capped like the original? When you say 'no power' you mean it won't climb RPM anymore? Or it chugs/surges/misfires? What exactly does it do after 4k?

The torta is right up there!

Good views, fun riding, great company, and delicious food. 😎 Had an awesome time riding and hanging out with you guys! Thanks for posting it up

I'll be at the gas station and make the 350 sing, looking forward to it!

Oooh I would love to join, I'll be at the gas station tomorrow unless you think it's better to meet you at the pink gate? The 350 is geared a bit short for long highway stints. It will do it if needed

Holy moly, excellent results.

I enjoyed watching that, reminds me of all of the dum-bass stuff I did getting into motorcycles/adventure bikes/etc. Not knowing any better or just not caring.

Not too much stopping with that kind of mileage but I managed to snag a few pictures. Long, foggy, and rainy drive from San Diego but saw a good omen dropping down to the sunny desert floor. 350thumper usually leads rides out here but wanted to ride sweep today and look for anything that falls off my bike (like me) Doesn't matter how sketchy, 350thumper always volunteers to go first HotRod82 does not hesitate 350thumper peeled off after a late lunch, kicked up a windstorm pinning the 650Large through the sand Nearing the end, well deserved water break Fun ride, awesome meeting you HotRod82 and great to ride with you again 350thumper

Got the fuel issue all sorted out, I should have 130+ miles of range. See y'all tomorrow at 8.

Awesome, would love to join. I'll see if I have a 1L fuel bottle I can bring. Looking forward to it!

How much fuel range would be necessary? Stock tank on a KTM 350 be OK?

Totally agree with you but the problem is.....I like to have fun on the asphalt as well and the 350 is singing at 60mph. I don't need more power because the 350 is crazy fast, just want it to be less stressed at 60-65mph and I like the engine character of low-to-mid power instead of mid-to-high for that type of riding. So I kind of see it like the 450/500 can do 98% of what I can do on the 350, but is less strung out on short pavement stretches or twisty roads or eventually with a supermoto setup. I've also got a 200 2-stroke for enduro type riding and will never sell it, so don't need the overlap a 350 provides. Either way I've got a 350 now and looking forward to trying a rally event!

Thanks for the breakdown Padu, I'm looking to start collecting this stuff. I do have minor buyers remorse for getting the 350 instead of a 450/500 though. Good thing is this will pop right off if I switch bikes.
