Ok question is this: New to the world of DS650's I bought a 2000 DS650 from a guy that bought it directly from ALBA Motorsports new, has Ron Woods exhaust, K&n fiter and air intake scoop things. So heres the problem. It hauls *** off the the line, but falls flat on it's face in 3rd gear. It's got nothin'!!!! So I had the carb cleaned and rejetted, but it seems to be worse. I also have a 15 tooth sprocket on the front instead of the stock 16 tooth, and smaller tires on the back. Does this sound like a "fuel/air" issue that just needs to be dialed in?? Or maybe something else??

Most likely the carb just needs to get dialed in. Is it the TM45 from RWR? What main jet is it running? And just in case, what size tires are you running on the rear?

 

I don't know what TM45 or RWR means sorry, I the rear tires are smaller than stock and the front sprocket is 1 tooth smaller. I dont know what the main jet is now because I just took it the mechanic that works at the dealer, but doesn't specialize in the DS650 so we are trying to work together to figure it out. I just bought a Dyno kit for it, but it comes with stages 1 & 3, but my bike is stage 2

 

RWR is Ron Woods Racing. Those were the parts you mentioned. The TM45 is the Carb that he uses.... If you are a stage 2, then you have some other work done to the motor also, and if you have that Carb I do not believe the jet kit will work in it. The TM45 and stock carb use different sized mikuni jets

 

Yes it has Ron Woods Racing exhaust, but I believe it is the stock carb. Like I said I don't know much about quads, just getting into the hobby. And this machine is like a whole other language.
