couldve been happier with my 01ds! had it for 6yrs with very little problems. solid machine, responds to modz good. get a aftermarket cdi to up the rev limiter. (7500rpm stock i believe) which can come annoying when doing some climbs in 2nd or 3rd gear.
if your temp light theres a good chance you can just ignore that. the sensor will go off for no reason and it seems to happen to all the ds owners ive rode with
