I am thinking about buying a a new DS 650 and I was wondering what problems everybody has had with there DS I would appreciate as many responses as possiable.

 

every time i race raptors and banshee and they lose they come over and say aren't those things heavy? it is becoming a problem. the fans on the 00-01 go out i don't run one and it works fine. that is it put gas in and run it hard, the transmission is fine the chain is hugh, i think a few guys broke front shocks a long time ago. the stock cdi sucks, but it isn't a problem as far as running. did i say run it hard, it likes that.

 

Only problem I have is the rev limiter...boy I can't wait to get that CDI...bet she will really scream with that extra little rev...he he he [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Had oil pressure sending unit go out after about 3 rides but bombardier changed it and havent had any problems since. Great bike, Im 290 lbs and my baja will pull the win on my cousins Yoshi piped and jetted Rappy!!! and hes only 175lbs, LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I bought mine used and the water pump seals where bad and the Suzuki/Honda dealer wanted nothing to do with helping get it fixed.
But after getting that fixed and getting the RWR CDI the only problem now is not being able to ride enough.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Its just like every outher quad but stronger in every point. if you don't maintain it, it will have prolbems like my spelling.

 

First problem: Stock chainroller is trash on the old 00-01 models. Not a problem if you buy new or '02, and nowadays I imagine most of the old chainrollers have been changed out.

Second problem: Rear bumper doesn't last long if you're not very good at riding wheelies and you practice on real hard soil. $28 from PRM.

Third problem: Last time I was out riding, I was cutting some cookies and my rear tires all of the sudden got traction. All that excess power took over and I fell off and my DS ran over my foot. The bike was fine, but it did some severe damage to my pride. My foot was fine, too.

 

i have a 2000 DS and yeh, my chain roler sh*t the bed, and the rev limeter kinda sucks too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but the ds is overall a good bike, and its got ***** too
