Hey KillerB, How's life with your DS? I'm looking for a big Sport Quad, and the DS looks good. Raptors seem to have lots of problems and
need lot$ of modifications just to get in the game. The only thing bad I hear about the DS is that the handling is a little "darty" or twitchy.
Criticizing it for a lack of aftermarket parts, is a complement, that means it doesn't need them, (like the you-know-what does).
How does it handle on trails? I have been riding a Polaris Sportsman H.O. and am sick of the weight and lackluster performance. But they handle great, with just a touch of oversteer, have wonderful suspension and ride and the absolute best ground clearance. I ride mountain mining roads, sand washes. Wider is better, rocks outnumber trees 100 to 1 here in New Mexico. Tall tires and skid plates a must. I am also interested in the Cannondale, EFI would work great in our changing elevations here, 4,000 to 9,000 ft. But there we go with another new, untried machine...
Silly Later,,,,Fourlix

I did buy a real quad I just should not of tried to imitate a real mechanic because I tried to jet it and it wasn't working to good. I was jetting it and the plug looked real clean and the pipes were getting hot so I kept jumping up in the jets. Well that wasn't the problem I was over-richening it. I rode it home from my buddies and it running like a SAVAGE!! Can't wait until tonight/tommorow , I hope it's nice.
