when do guys think the 04 DS's will arrive at the Dealership's? i live in mn, so im unsure, u guys with the baja what were u paying on average for ur DS's. i cant get the wheeler till at least june or july, do u think i will be able to get a 03 or will i have to wait to get a 04...
the Bomber website says 7100. so im geussing around 7500 otd. and again are any of u Baja owners having any problems with urs?
a new ATV mag tested the lighter 04 DS and said it basically sucks and to save ur money to get a better quad?? i dont know what would make em say that.....
i have almost made up my mind on my new wheeler and i think i am gonna go with the Baja DS, and i paln on racing it a few times this season in the District #23 Races. i went to a race last weekend and it was soooo cool. seen a cannondale cannibal, and that thing hauls *** as well as the Predator.
what made me choose the DS is all the Accessorys they have on em stock, (shocks, axle, wider, etc)
the other racers this weekend who had better shocks wider etc were doin better than the people with stock chassis but built up motor and the DS has both [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] sorry 4 ff topic Thanks again guys. this forum has been REALLYY helpful for me.

If you like the accessorys on the baja so much and your waiting on the 04, then why not go ahead and get the 04 baja x, it has even more accessorys, and i must say, it jast looks so samn good! i havent read that article, what didnt they like about the new 04?
And for your ?, do a search, a guy on here calld them asking for dates a few days ago.

Edit: here is the link for the thread "click me" lol

 

I would wait for the 04, and you should be able to get a 04 for < $7000 otd. Depending on availability.

And about the ATV Mags.
1- they have their own agenda (this has been discussed in many threads before) It's all about what bikes do the after marker fabricators make the parts for. If they recommend a bike that their advertisers don't and won't make stuff for, then the advertiser will get pissed and could pull their ad. It's not about informing the consumer, it's about selling ads. Always has been and always will be.
2- It seems their average rider is only about 5'5' and 115 lbs.

how much is the regular 04 Ds going for?

 

I picked up my Baja for $6450 before tax/registration. It came up to about $6975 out o.t.d. No problems so far.

 

The only thing I've noticed on my 03' Baja is that I have a squeaking noise coming from right front wheel area. Other than that no problems.

Hey pudjumper same with my 03', but its just the breaks on mine. Squeeze the brake lever alittle and it goes away, cant really notice it when im riding hard.

 

My Baja has the same squeak. It is annoying. Does anybody know what it is? Other than that, no problems other than what do I do to it next.

 

I was behind Trent at Haspin and heard it from his too

 

The noise is created by the brake pads dragging on the rotor and creating a high frequency vibration (squeek). If you ride in mud you should take the calipers off every so often and rinse eveything off with water, remove the pads and make sure there is no debris between them and the caliper body.
