Default DS stolen & recovered

Just got my DS back yesterday, we have been parted for 4 years. Need to know where to get a manual for it and if they have a set of nuts and bolts for the whole bike.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WOW! Are you kidding?!! 4 years later! That's great. What kind of shape is it in? How did they find it? Who found it? Why do you need all the bolts? There is a stainless set, for the whole thing for less than $100 on ebay. (search for ds650) Looks like good stuff. Bags are marked as to where everything goes.
Two recoveries in one week that I know of. Good stuff.

Death to thieves

I had wrecked it and broke my ankle, got a contusion on my pelvis and have no tendons or ligaments in my shoulder anymore. Got stolen when i was still down and out and some guy bought it and took it to the shop to get some service done on it and got busted. Police dept called me and went and got it, had to drive 3 hours but it was worth it. Well there are some bolts but look real rusted, seats all broken underneath so have to get a new one and the gas tank cover is all cracked, dont know if i need a new one but will find out this weekend when i strip it down. Going to take it all apart, clean it, tune it up, and see how it goes. It fired right up but will not keep running when I put it in to first gear. Have to see how the jets are on it.

Awesome man!

Remember to take the OIL screen out of the OIL tank and clean it. After that many years of probably bad maintanance I woul dbet its getting clogged up. also new plastics are pretty cheap for DS's.

good luck and post any questions you have on the rebiuld.
