I need help w/ my new DS650. I used to have a 400ex and loved the torque. I dont feel the DS has a great bottom range like the EX. Is their any mods that will help bottom not sacrificing mid or top? p.s. how do I change ur post screen name? I feel pretty stupid with a DS and be named "Sporttraxguy123"

 

pipe, K&N filter, dynojet kit or maybe a flatside carb w/accelerator pump when available.

pick your flavor for the pipe: FMF, Graydon Proline, Alba, Ron Woods, Big Gun, CT Racing, YRD, Duncan Double Barrel

 

Take your lid off your air box,and get a K&N filter,with jet kit.That will get the quick response with better exceleration.But if you want some more power, in the low and mid range,get a good pipe.When I first got my DS,I was thinking the same thing.I loved every thing about the DS accept that I couldnt throw my front end up as good as on my
400 EX.But the DS loves to roost,and I like doing that too.I took my airbox lid off,and could definiley tell the thing was getting alot better air to the carb.I could get the front end up 1st and 2nd and a little in 3rd,if you are just perfect,on the seat.I have not riden it much with the airbox lid off,because I need to rejet.Before next spring,I am going to get a K&N filter, with pre-filter,K&N jet kit,and run with the airbox lid off.I will also be getting the FMF slip on.

 

Thanks clif,
I'm having the same questions about my DS. I have a K&N PowerKit on order but the dealer is having problems getting it. I'll try and you posted. Thanks again.

 

If your dealer can't get you the kit let me know I am a dealer for dyno jet and can get the filter and kit from them since they make the kit for K&N. I ordered one last week they promise me same day shipping. Let know what else you guys need.

cd, i got my ds almost 4 weeks ago and the kit was ordered when ...... wait let me start from the beginning..... Steve bought his raptor and was killing my scrambler 400. I called alba and the deal was good, if I lived in ca. So I checked the web for the nearest dealer and found jd marine near me in dayton, oh. I called and want to buy a ds with a pipe, full armor(swing,a-arm,etc. plates),k&n power kit, shock covers. Dealer called back in a few days and said the no one makes an after market pipe or skid plates for the ds. But he can get the shock covers and the k&n. Last week I picked up my shock covers, get this - the salesman ordered 3 packs of shock covers, each pack has a complete (3) set in it. Now after calling him last week, his service guy was going to call and find out "what's up". I had this same kind of service form my local Polaris dealer. I guess here in western ohio the dealers didn't take there customer services classes! Anyway, the k&n has been paid for already. But what about the skidplates and pipes? I don't know about the plates, but I know there's pipes out there. If you could help (wih prompt service/ delv.), I would like to give you the sale. Contact me at dmeyer@thesmsgroup.com

 

You can get the pipe fron ALBA Sports, Ct Racing or Graydon Proline. For the full armor go to www.prm-atv.com.

 

I forgot one other pipe: white brothers R4.

 

Thanx everyone for the help ... I have decided to go w/ either a pipe,filter,jet or just go all out and get a woods racing stage 1 kit. Does any1 have this and if so comments on it (performance,reliability)?

 

sorry double post
