I bought a DS650 about a month ago and have had some minor problems. First the Chain roller dissintegrated and the chain ate into the frame so now I have gauges in my frame on one of the bars. Has anyone else had this problem? Also I notice that occasionally the bike "Hiccups" throught the carb and I feel it in the seat above the air filter lid. What causes this? Another thing, does anyone know of a dealer in Northeast Ohio? The dealer I bought mine off of in Medina,OH. has decided not to sell the bike any longer and won't honor my warrenty. Anyone have a 1-800 number to Bombardier? Thanks,-Chris

valves may be too tight, did you have your 10 hour service yet?

 

Well the hiccuping is a backfiring...I still have not got all the hiccups out yet. They have adjusted the valves and were told that should not cause the problem from Bombardier (I say it helped alot). New carb, engine leakdown test, and by the way smell your oil for gas in it....those are still my problems that have not been resolved, bougth in 3/25/00.

Update: valves and spark plugs seems to have stopped the gas in the oil. Still backfires though.

 

About the hicupping problem,Did you try scaring your DS?
