Xhale Posted September 13, 2004 Report Posted September 13, 2004 So there is this rich kid in town who has a 2004 DS 650 Baja... It apparently is stock.. I have a 2003 Banshee with FMF Fatty's,, and a Twin Air Filter.. and it is jetted perfectly.. We are racing in the 1/8 mile and a local strip... I seem to think I will have no problem.. I no how to race.. when my banshee was stock i beat---- Raptor, Piped Z-400 and a Predator.. And now with the new pipes I think I should easily take a DS 650.. I just need some other opinions Quote
bansheewizard Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 race him and find out but you should beat him Quote
snowprophet1 Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 Dirt Wheels, December 2002, page 246... DS650, 1/8th mile, his best run that day was 9.9 seconds at 65.5 mph. I'd guess you would beat that by almost a second and maybe 5ish mph, depending on your total setup/gearing. Quote
Daren Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 I've ran my totally stock DS 650 at our local strip with the best of 8.96 seconds, but consistent 9.1s and 9.2s @ 69-70 mph. The DS 650 does not wheelie easily so he'll probably do well off the line. My friends Banshee with Paul Turner Hi-Rev pipes, Pro Flow Uni air filter, and jetted can beat my DS (he only weighs 140lbs). As a matter of fact he set his new personal best this past Friday night at 8.59 seconds. He normally runs 75 mph. Quote
snowprophet1 Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 That's a lot better than a 9.9! It didn't say how heavy the guy was in the magazine, but maybe he lacked a little experience. Quote
Xhale Posted September 14, 2004 Author Report Posted September 14, 2004 Actually i just found out that the kids DS is a 2001.. I need some more replies please Quote
locogato11283 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 heres the best reply so far. just go fucking race him and see what the f*ck happens!!!! then report back Quote
tsuther78 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 I race my buddy on his piped Baja and it is not a problem at all. It may have the engine, but look at the size of it. Quote
Xhale Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Posted October 2, 2004 yeah i beat him at was really no problem at all..... he had me off the line but i would take him no problem Quote
BANSHEE_JAY Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 I raced a stock 04 ds on my my shee when it was stock i beat him till we topped out but he was runing 25's on the back they come stock with 20's i think but anyways he barley got by me i let off but i could eat him up now he wouldn't stand a chance!

gerd2003 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 I use to have a 2000 DS 650 with an FMF slip on. I repeatedly raced a couple of my buddies shee's on pavement and they both were running toomey's, K&N, coolheads, and had been ported. The DS is extremely hard to beat on pavement due to its weight and size. You can drop the hammer right off the line and not worry about front end lift. Everytime we raced I was gone before the shee's could get off the line. My advice is definately go prac. getting some launches on pavement! Most of the time the better rider will win the race not the better quad. Quote
