DS625X 2024 - 2026

Harsh Rear Ride and Hard-to-Reach Rear Preload

On stock settings the rear can feel harsh over sharp bumps, and the rear preload adjuster cannot be reached without removing the shock. Damping adjustment improves the ride.

DS625X Design Quirks (E5 Fuel, Front Brake, Legroom, Service Interval)

Smaller points reviewers consistently flag on the DS625X. None are dangerous, all are worth knowing before you buy or set off.

Throttle Slack and Dead Zone at the Grip

The DS625X uses a cable throttle, not ride-by-wire, and can have a large dead zone of free play before the throttle opens. It adjusts out at the cable.

Traction Control Cuts In Early and Feels Like Limp Mode

The TCS triggers at moderate lean well before any slide and is slow to restore power. It can be switched off by holding the TCS button for four seconds.
