bomberds,
give the ds a few weeks or months, and you wont mind the handling anymore, you willl get use to the shortcommings and use them to your advantage. When you get use to them, you can focus on how to ride the ds and use its power. You will forget about the quick hangling, because you will be use to it. Just give it time, put a few $ into the engin, you willl love it

 

Just relax your grip a little, don't fight the twitchyness. It will straighten up. I had problems for the first few hours, but I remembered some tips from a motocross buddy. I just relaxed and trusted the bike to keep going the direction I pointed it in and it did.

Good luck,

I noticed you have a Alba steering stabilizer. Does it really help? Is it a good investment?

 

amtCHAD,
Yes it helped quite a bit. It basically is just a shock absorber for the steering system and it reduces unwanted harsh feedback in the bars. It also "slows" down the steering, what I mean by that is you pretty much have to intend to turn the wheels for them to turn, no unintentional "darty-ness". I feel it was worth it. Simple install and little or no maintenance.
