OK guys, there is this kid in my school and we have been arguing about what would win, a DS650 vs. a Rator. I said they have about the same top speed but that Raptor just gets up and goes quicker. But he is saying a DS can hit 100 mph no porblem. But I have not even got to the bad part yet. His dad is a quad dealer. I don't want my local dealer to be telling his customers that kind of bullshit. Someone tell him the truth cause I am going to show him this post tomorrow. (with some editing to the above [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] )

 

Well there is no way a DS650 will hit 100mph...
It may hit 75 at the most.

 

A stock DS will not go 100.

On a good day, (80 degrees, downhill, and tailwind), it will go 78-80 MAX.

In order to reach 100, you would have to do one or more of 3 things:

1. You would have to take the rev limiter off
2. You would have to gear up to baja ratios
3. And you would have to have a reeeeeeeaaaaally strong tail wind, or rockets, or a corvette pushing you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Note: you don't need too many engine or chassis modifications (on a DS), except maybe a pipe to go Baja speeds. Last years Baja winner (the DS) pulled the higher gears and taller tires with only a filter and pipe added. I don't remember if it had the rev lim. removed.

 

It doesn't go anywhere near 100mph.

 

my ds did a 100mph once .......in the back of my truck

 

hey biggy how does ur 450ex compare to your ds650?

 

There is no way a stock DS will do 100. If you change the gearing on it it will tho (TimmyBoy Designs did this on the DS that won the Baja race earlier this year).

 

Tell that ***** at ur school that a ds goes 100MPH,but my Honda 50 will do 200MPH
