- Installation of the Mikuni TM40-6 carburetor.
After The install, I finally was able to take a proper test ride a few days later. The difference is amazing! The bike accelerates with a hold on to the grips power that it didn’t have before. I hit 70mph in 4th gear in no time and it just wanted to keep on giving. The Procycle pre-setup was spot on and the only thing I have had to do so far is a minor tweek of the idle adjustment ( not the air/fuel pilot screw). Very pleased with this mod to the DR.

You are my "saw a guy who did it", and I thank you!
Thank you for sharing! I have a TM 42 all ready to install, your vid was the best on you-tube for this! :)
Thanks! Hope your install goes well. I would love to hear how it goes and how you like the TM42.
Thanks for your effort mate, made my install very easy. Mucho appriciated
Thanks! Glad it helped your install 👍🏻
Hey thanks for taking the time to make this video, got me a tm40 on the way and haven’t had much to do with carbs so this helps a lot.
Cheers
I wanted to see what others had done before as well and just couldn’t find anything. Thanks for watching!
What sort of exhaust pipe is that?
Did you find tuning the tm40 reasonably straightforward?
@@pyle9797 So far, the tuning has been minimal. I have the Procycle SS1 exhaust. It is a copy of the Suzuki GSXR pipe. I gave them a list of the mods on my bike and they pre set the carb accordingly. The only thing I have had to do so far is lift the idle speed a little.
Nice pipe that one.looking at getting one my self. How you finding the sound of the ss1? Not too loud?
I just got the procycle seat cover kit put on last week and I highly recommend it. Soo much better than the stock seat
@@pyle9797 I did the Seat Concepts diy kit last fall. It is a must and so much better! The SS1 is just a little louder than the stock but really helps to open up the power band. I also ground the weld off of the exhaust header.
Nice work and filming
Thanks!
What brand flashlight is that? I need one! Nice video.
Thanks, Kyle! The flashlight is available at Harbor Freight. Braun 390 lumen slim bar led light.
I am doing this mod on my Dr650se but I already have the carb do you know the jet settings size Procycle used. I already have done air box mod and exhaust, I am at sea level just curious to what jets they start with?
Dude, great video. Got the whole setup ready for install, just waiting for the choke knob. You mind uploading a video riding? Greats from Germany
Danke! I have a video in the works. I was involved in an accident with a car at the end of the first ride with the new TM carb. I am okay, but it is taking some time to get parts to rebuild my DR. Where do you live? I was stationed in the town of Duelmen for 3 years in the 1980’s.
@@duelmen3 crazy, hope you heal well and get back on the streets soon. A rebuild would be interesting, take your time. I live in Berlin, but know some people near du Dülmen, been there many times. Thx for the answer
Great video. Hello from Canada. Still 3' of snow here but thinking this could be a good upgrade for my DR before riding season starts. Hoping to see what you think of the installation after taking it out. I haven't seen a post yet about that, and it would be great to see if you think the investment is worth it. For a $1000 Canadian I am hoping the upgrade is pretty dramatic!? Surprising that there are so few videos out there on this installation. Cheers!
Weetabix, with so few videos on the TM40, that’s why I made the video. Glad you liked it and hope it will help you if you decide to do the upgrade. If you look at the reply I made to Robert Eddy, you will see why I haven’t done a follow up video yet. I am heading down to the Southern California desert in a week to do some riding and I will post a video of that and talk a bit about the upgrade.
Hope the snow melts out soon for you!

Just read about your first test ride. Glad to hear all turned out ok. Looking forward to a review on the bike when you're able to really test ride it.
hi great vid and i subscribed im going to the tm38 so slightly different to your mods
i like your oil cooler, have u got video on that or install information
thanks!
Thanks, Sacha! Hope my video helps make your TM38 install easier for you. As for the oil cooler, that is a factory part that comes on the DR650.
thanks!!
NorCal,what’s the overall verdict on the TM40? Noticeable quicker power response and delivery? Can you lift the front wheel easier over trail junk? Just a quick overview and you final thoughts on the TM40 vs stock. Thank you
On my way home from the first full day ride with the TM40, I had a car run a red light and turn in front of me. I went down on the pavement at 40mph and slid for a nice long way… My DR ended up being totaled by the insurance company and I bought it back and have since rebuilt it. Most damage was superficial scratches, but there was some items tweaked that took some time to replace.
I finally got a few more rides in last Fall and yes, there is a big difference between the stock carb, with the standard mods, and the TM40. The front end pulls up with little effort and I have a 5.3 Acerbis tank! The mpg seems to be better as well. I really like that it will chug along at idle or small amounts of throttle input at slow speed maneuvering.
The power comes on instantly and will even come up fast when in the wrong gear, lower speed - too high a gear.
I feel it was money well spent on my DR. I also emailed with Procycle about my riding style, weight (me) and mods I already had and was planning to add and let them set it up. I have not made any adjustments to the carb and have not felt the need to.
@@duelmen3 Thanks for the quick reply! The crash on the test ride really sucks and glad your ok and back in business. I just did the full Cogent suspension upgrade for my weight and riding style and it really is a game changer. I sent forks to them and had them totally rebuilt with there DDC cartridges and preload adjusters. Bought there Mojave Pro shock with remote preload adjuster to. Was not cheap but totally worth it to me since I plan on keeping the bike forever. Next up is gonna be TM40 with LeoVince exhaust.
@@roberteddy1951 I went with FFRC Plex valves from Australia. Upgrading the front and rear is absolutely a game changer. The Mighty DR is a whole different machine with the suspension upgraded! I went with the Procycle SS1 exhaust and header. Another great addition in the fine tuning of the bike.
I am heading out to the Mojave Desert in a couple of weeks and should have some new video of the desert ride to the Husky Memorial after I get back. Can’t wait to ride in the desert again!
Thanks for the video. Plan on installing the TM42 this weekend.
What is the magnetic light you were using?
The extra hoses, did you just let them hang down below or did you tie them up some how?
How easy was it to grease / oil the throttle cables?
Thanks, Matt!
The light is a Braun 390 Lumen from Harbor Freight. It is an awesome little light. You can find it on sale all the time for about $24
As for extra hoses, if you are referring to the smog hoses, I eliminated that system. If you mean the hoses from the carb, I routed them down the back of the cases and then shortened them a bit.
I bought my TM40 as a kit from Procycle and it came with low friction throttle cables. They slide super easy with no binding. I have 2” risers on my bars and they do not interfere with operation at all.
Good luck and get ready to be amazed at how much better your throttle response and overall performance has become.
did you have to put the procycle jet kit in the new carb?
I bought the TM40 from Procycle. They ask questions about your bike set up, and then set up the jetting based on your bike and where you ride ( altitude). Other than a small adjustment to the idle speed, I have not had to adjust anything on the TM40. The bike starts right up all year and runs great in hot or cold weather. I ride in an area that goes from around 500ft to 6000ft and I dont feel any difference in power.
