Well brick I never do it but you are supposed to shut off the fuel when not riding. Dont ask me exactly what happens, but the air compressor on my work truck has done this a couple of times.

Dont forget to change your oil filter also.Do you still have your manual?
There is also a screen type filter in the main line coming from your tank
make sure you check to make sure it is not plugged.What year is your ds?

I have a 2000. I bought it used i just do not know where to refill the oil or how much to use? I did not get a manual with it so i am kinda clueless about the oil change ifo. I know to drain the oil tank and the motor and also to replace the filter. I know it sounds stupid but i do not know where to put the oil?

This is a Fram Sure drain oil system installed on the DS650. You'll need to buy the Fram Sure drain oil system that uses the standard threads in 1/2-20. Then get a custom adapter to go from 3/8th inch pipe thread to the 1/2-20 thread. This makes getting the oil changed clean and easy.
I have this installed on both of my DS650s and it works great.

Why would mine only take 3.5? That puts the level on dipstick right in between
the ridges. That is what im looking for right? I also check after a short ride.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
