I was reading a article about the 2004 model and they have been finding ways to shed weight and I never thought that alittle sproket change can bring a stock ds into the 80mph marks, woah!! when is it gonna be realesed?? oh and new price is $6500 instaed of $6900

 

I hope to add one to my stable

 

its rpm has been raised to 7800, it should be a perfect sand dragger

 

Where is this article?

 

I bought 2 03 bajas, I am going to keep one stock for a trade in next year[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

the article was in the march issue of Dirtwheels. I too am curious when this machine will be out. 85 mph just turns my crank.

 

Just get one now, and change the gearing....

For the Baja 1000, they were basically just running a pipe/jetted bike with different gearing and were hitting 106mph.....

 

i put a 17 on and the thing goes plenty fast. seems when i read that they changed the gear from 16-40 to something else.

 

I believe stock gearing is 16-42. I got a peek at the article yesterday, and they said changing it to 17-38 made a huge difference.

 

hey guys~
Just by adding 22" tires to my DS, I was able to hit 82.6 mph with everything else completely stock. That was confirmed with a GPS. The only thing holding me back from more speed was the stock 7700 RPM limiter! I can only imagine how the machine would go with 40 lbs less weight!
