DS625X 2024 - 2026
| Issue | Severity | Status | Fix | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Medium | Confirmed | Available | Jun 11, 2026 |
| 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. | Low | Reported | Available | Jun 11, 2026 |
| 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. | Low | Confirmed | Available | Jun 11, 2026 |
| 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. | Low | Confirmed | None yet | Jun 11, 2026 |
