Hello
Hi, first off I would like to thank everyone on this site. When I first started to look at buying a DS 450, I did a lot of reading on this forum. I learned about the recalls/service bulletins and other minor complications, it was nice to know what to look for.
On Thursday I bought a used 2008 DS 450X, with a HMF slip on, K&N air filter, and Dynojet power commander. So far all I had to do was swiss cheese the gas tank cover and put a couple tanks of gas in it. The previous owner said he never had any problems with boiling fuel, but after reading on here I decided to drill the holes anyway.
The motor on it seams to behave a lot like a Banshee, lots of power in the upper RPMs. Took a bit of time to adjust to, I also find my self changing gears more in the trails then with other quads. I've road a friends TRX before and didn't notice that.
I GPS it and it does 112KM/H 69.6MPH, I think that's in the range others are getting with similar mods.
The only other quad I've had was a 2005 DS 650X, that had mr.Hp's endcap and ported intake, K&N air filter, and rev box. It was a bulky, but bullet proof and fast (GPS at 140KMH/87 MPH). Sadly though some douche stole it in 2007.
