OK my sled is down to the local dealer for sale , he has a 2000 DS 650 that is a little rough for $2500 , the plastic is faded , needs front tires , the bars like can move if you pull on them straight up , and the throttle moves alll around like something is let go.....think i should stAy clear of it ? i mean its overall not bad but looks like it needs some TLC which Iam willing to give it. Oh the rear tires are brand new !

 

one prob with the 00 ds's is you will have to bleed the air out of the lines when doing oil changes just to let ya know...I got my 01 for about 2100 and it sounds just like the one you are looking at,but after about 7k into it it looks brand new...the engine is next on my to do list though.

 

yeah i wanna stay with bombers ! I had a 2000 that was a wreak but i got it for $1500 and knew it was junk ! I know all about the bleeding its a pain in the d!ck but o well . Yeah i plan to put the all black or do the blk n orange on it if i get it ! thanks

 

Yea I read a while ago in your pro that you were hoping to get another ds...well I wish ya luck and you have experience with them so I am sure you know what you are looking at, but I would just try and bargain and see if you can get any money off or maybe a helmet or something

 

I bought an 04 last summer, all stock, bald tires, and decent plastic for $3000, I thought I got a good deal on that...

 

Yah I loved my old one ! Thanks guy

 

WHAAAAAAT?

I have an OO, and have NEVER had to bleed my oil from the filter area.


plastics cost about 300 bucks

new steering stem and handle bars, about 400 bucks

new throttle...about 75 bucks.

tell the clown 2200 out the door, in my opinion


Start it and ride it first though, to make sure there is no internal garbage going on in there

 

yeah iam gunna , i think it needs just bushing in the stem not a complete new one

 

yeah, but it doesn't hurt to try to pull one over on the stealer..


i bet HE doesn't know that

 

yeah unfortinitaly he knows what he is talkin about and is firm
