I have an 05 ds650x with a steering stablizer and it is pretty squirraly with the stablizer turned all the way up on a straight stretch at high speed I fight to keep it straight *** end tents to kick out even on trails the handle bars tent to jerk away from me I fight with it quite a bit any ideas or know what could be wrong please help.

 

I have an 01 with no stab and I have same problem on road. I haven't been able to hit trails yet. Just got bike a couple weeks.

 

DS's came from the factory with a lot of toe-in which can lead to darty/twitch steering. You can fix this by slightly shortening the tie rod evenly on each side (~1/2-1 turn). Use a tape measure and know your starting point in case you mess up.

 

Do you know factory setting for toe in cause I don't think its set right but ill try what you said but want to get as close to factory setting first.I tightend myb stabilizer up now the steering in more stiff idk if the stabilizer id suppose to be loose so it bounces or stiff so ig don't bounce. oh what's the best psi for maxxis razr 2 front and rear. Thank you

 

Those ASR upper arms really do help the DS's handling, I went with Fireballs A Arms and the DS handles better and turns sharper than OEM.

 

How much does those run?

 

I have a set with heavy duty tie rods included on eBay for 220 or best offer, including a set of heavy-duty tie rods and ends. Heavy duty tie rods run about 120. ASR wants 220 for just the upper a-arms. These things really do work, I am only getting rid of them since I got a full set of ASR a-arms earlier this year. You'll never get your DS to turn and track well with factory arms.

i have a set of asr upper a arms on order.. seemed to be the cheaper route as opposed to $150 per ball joint... so my question is.. is there any recommended setup for the toe/caster and camber for trail riding??? there site states that it fixes the not so good turning of the factory a arms... whats the best way to set up the caster/camber...???
