motolab is the go to guy in the dr thread or the bst40 thread.
2 things to check are emmulsion tube where the needle sits into. this wears (replace it) larger and lets more gas in. check the float level.

motolab has all the small parts to update the carb. start with a pine sol soak

1st to completely flush the carb. you'll be amazed where dirt comes out from even if it looks clean.

Yeah, the DR650 is a great bike, especially for this type of trip. I definitely need to open up the carb, clean it out and find out what I can. It was still riding fine, but it had a bog that I did not have over the summer riding even up above 12,000.

I just need it to warm up a little in my garage.

The first time I was there in 95 there were vendors selling bananas to the tourists to feed the monkeys
you would hold the banana up and they would scurry down the tree and grab it out of your hand than back up the tree to chow down. When I seen the picture and commentary I started cracking up!

I did love Costa Rica. And you are right, the expense is about its only negative. Great, fun country.
