Known Issues

Significantly worse than the DS900X - multiple reviewers describe the 800 Rally as 'fighting' attempts to ride at urban speeds. Workarounds exist but no permanent fix from Voge yet.

Intermittent freezing or reboot of the 7-inch TFT dashboard. Most reports resolve after updating dashboard firmware via the Voge Global app.

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.

The most-reported owner complaint on the 800 Rally - pulling 1080p video off the bike's built-in dashcam frequently crashes the Voge Global app. Workarounds exist; permanent fix needs an app update from Voge.

Filling the tank past the bottom of the filler neck can push liquid fuel into the charcoal canister, causing rough running, misfires, and an EVAP-related fault code. Self-clears with a couple of hours of riding once you stop overfilling.

RiDE's long-term DS900X had its odometer reset to 0 km after a dealer firmware update. Voge replaced the dashboard under warranty and reinstated the mileage. Worth photographing your odometer before any dealer firmware visit.

RiDE Magazine's long-term test reported the headstock nut backing off during normal riding. Single-source so far, but safety-relevant - worth adding a periodic torque check to your inspection routine.

On/off throttle response is rough at slow speeds, especially in Sport mode. Multiple owners report it sorts itself with miles or after a TPS reset; an aftermarket ECU remap solves it permanently.

Bluetooth pairing with the Voge Global app or phone audio drops randomly during rides on some phone models.

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.

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.

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

Five design and build observations consistently flagged across 800 Rally reviews. None show-stoppers; all worth knowing before you discover them in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Five smaller niggles owners and reviewers consistently flag on the DS900X. None are dangerous - all are worth knowing about before you discover them on a long ride.

Handguard or mirror buzz at higher RPM on some DS900X units. Anecdotal, not yet confirmed by Voge.
