Hello! My name is Toby Meissner i am from Westminster Co i bought a 08 ds 450 about 6 months ago i was searching for tuning tips for the ds 450 and this site popped up, thats how i learned all about the ol' pink wire cut. i am currently all stock, i run with no air box lid and i also took the sparky out of my pipe and drilled some holes in the baffle. it ran well after that i just cut the wire today and there is a noticable differance. if anyone knows of any performance parts or engine mods let me know cuz i cant find any parts for the thing

Welcome to the forums Toby. For bolt ons theres pipes, air filters, fuel controllers and engine mods theres pistons,cams, stroker cranks and big bores. I just purchased a air filter and HMF slip-on for my ds. Atv Galaxy carries alot of parts for the ds.

how do you like that hmf?? i actually just ordered one myself, i see that hmf has the optimizer and the k&n air filter i think i am gonna get those as well, but i would like to do a stroker kit or something cuz i dont have the top end i would like. can you get that kind of stuff on that atv galaxy

The Hmf is still on order. Which one did u get, i choose the ironman series cuz its got the biggest core. I think OMW Racing has the 6mm crank. Rossier has pistons, cams, exhaust, and a intake.

Hey Zach, welcome to the site. Sounds like you've got a great list of mods already on order and I'm sure you'll enjoy riding the DS around when you get back. Post up some pics and vids when you get a chance, and also maybe some opinions on the mods, which ones add power, etc.
