I just got my 01 DS with less then 1 hr on it!!! Any ways, I have not had it out of second gear yet, I was wondering what to expect with this high speed handeling issues i have heard of? What gear will it affect me? What other then A-arms can help this? How bad is it? Can you still go fast???

it is not realy even noticable as far as im concerned that is i think if you7 ride midship or tank it is darty on yhe front but if you ride rear section you will wonder what people aree talking about.hit the throttle and adjust you weight accordingly!!!!

ps i didn't even know the ds could go slow.

I'm with AZSAND - what dart? Correct suspension set-up (first) and toe adjustment for rider weight (1/8" toe-out with rider on seat) is all that is truly needed, all of which is free. To make it even sweeter, you can get rid of the crap tires, all 4!
Aftermarket upper arms are an improvement though, especially for light riders, but the above still needs done the most.

i just drove a DS this weekend and got on a straigt road to find speed. I raced a modified 250-r
and smoked 'em. The ds was incredibly stable, didn't shake at all. It was also real smooth on the turns.
