Does anyone know if the new DS has reverse? and how much are they are going to ask. Just curious.

 

Nope, no reverse.

The engine is the same as the 2003 models.

I don't really wan't them to add a reverse. It's just more weight added that I would never use.

Reverse on a quad weighs less than 5 pounds to add.

 

not the way bomb builds things that would be a easy 30 pounds, look the thing over next time i see you everything on the bomb is heavy duty, no breaks that way.

 

Dry weight on a 2003 is 490lbs -516lbs wet, which is the dry weight of a 700 V-Force.

2004 the target weight is to be 430lbs dry.

Biggest change is a 1/2 shorter swingarm made of aluminum which changes the weight bias front to rear and should make the front end lighter under hard acceleration and break the rear end loose for slides. Lofting the front end of obsticals should be much easier.

Lighter headlight cowl, and more aluminum.

Rev limiter has been increased also from 7500 to 7800. Maybe new jetting and shocks also.

No reverse.

 

i'd love to have reverse, then i wouldn't be so picky about the weight, the only time i really care about the weight is wen i have to push it backwards or wen i get stuck, i could get unstuck alot easier wit reverse
