    Anyone find a small bag that will either sit within or behind the OEM SW-Motech engine guards? I dont want to slap a big bag on the outside of the guard, I just want something small enough I can through a plugkit, pump, and other small misc tools in. I know they have the bags for the givi bars...

    About a month ago I found myself reading the spec sheet for the v-strom 800de on suzuki’s website. I was considering trading in my wee for an 800re when it finally came out, however I was immediately turned off by the fact that I would have to use 91 octane (premium fuel) for the bike. One of my...

    I am looking to buy a used windshield, stock or aftermarket. I didn't see any windshields on the market for the 2nd gen. And brand new is somewhat out of my budget at the moment. For a 2013 650 strom If anyone has a windscreen sitting around please let me know. Thank You, Noah

  4. DL650 and DL650A - 2004 to 2011
    Not meaning to hog the forum. Ran great the day before and this morning, went home for lunch and it started sputtering and bucking at 1/4 throttle, but would be fine if I went about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. No fault light, would idle fine. Went back to work and was right back where it was Tuesday...

    How important is the foam sub filter? Took off the airbox to inspect the air filter and found remnants of foam where the sub filter was; cleaned it out the best I could and it runs fine but not sure if it needs replaced or is it Suzuki over engineering.
  6. V-Strom Service & Maintenance Questions/Discussion
    I am wondering about how to install the Pushrod #16. I broke it with poor chain maintenance. It seems like on the older bikes it was easier but with this bike the clutch lever part is part of the case so i cant get it out of the way. I am trying to order all of my parts at once so i need to...

    While prepping my k5 wee strom for a cross country trip (East Tennessee to Prudhoe Bay) I met a rider who did the same ride last year on another 650. He said the only thing he regretted about the bike was not changing the gearing. I began researching on this site about sprocket changes and got...
  8. Maintenance, Tech and Products.
    I own a 2015 Suzuki Vstrom 650 xt and recently took it camping, at a gas station I found a part was barley hanging on between the plastic side panels. It looks like it’s for holding wires in place but I am not sure. Wasn’t able to find anything in the service manual so any help is appreciated.

    Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster here! I purchased a new (to me, obviously) K5 e28 V-Strom 650 in October 2022 with 61,138 km (38,000 mi). I've since put ~4000km (2500mi) in the 4 months I've owned it, slowly repairing/replacing the long list of busted and worn components, and working...

    Going to look at a 2020 V-StromXT Adventure. It has 900 miles on it and the only ad on is adjustable wind screen. Was originally priced at $9000 but the owner came down to $8400. This will be my first V-Strom so just don’t have the knowledge about what is a decent price for a 2 year old bike.

    Hi I have 2004 vstrom 650, I have noticed in last 10,000km's increased engine noise, and it is getting worse. It seems that noise is knocking noise and coming from Front cylinder (a bit left side I guess from sitting position. I have tried to record sound, but it is quite windy, but you might...
  12. General V-Strom Discussion
    Hi, just signed up for the first time, although I've definitely found some helpful advice from this site in the past. I've owned a red 2013 650 for approximately 9 months now, only done approximately 5,000 kms myself and the odometer sits at 31,000km. Love the bike! I've added crash bars, Nelson...
  13. Wanted
    Hello, I'm looking for a low seat for the vstrom 650 2017. This would give me the missing height I need to flat feet on both feet on this. Thank you!
  14. DL650A - 2017+
    I just today purchased a new 2021 vstrom 650xt adventure. It's gorgeous and I'm thrilled to be a new owner! Previously I had a GS and then a Super Tenere but they were both huge and heavy and this bike will much more easily allow me to follow through on my plan to explore non-interstate and...

    As promised, here are some first pics of my 2011 650. 9k miles. Fluids changed around 7k. I've had a few bikes, but the only ones that compare directly would be the G650GS or Versys 650. Maybe the Bonneville for utility ha. So far it reminds me the most of my K75, though. Happy Trails!

    I have a "Moose Racing Adventure Windscreen" for a 2012 to (I don't know) 650. It is labelled as 4" shorter than stock. Dark tint. I sold the bike a few years ago and this thing has been in my garage in a box ever since. $20 plus shipping and it's yours, or make an offer. I just want the room...

    Hey, I thought I'd post this since I couldn't really find a similar thread. I bought my brand new MY 2020 V Strom in September 2020. I rode it for a month or two; then it was time to store it away for the winter (I live in Western Europe). I never rode in the wet or snow. So my bike has also...

    Hello, My boyfriend loves his 2014 V-Strom 650, but the previous owner removed the "S" emblem on the side of the bike. Since he's proud of the fact that is a Suzuki, I thought it would be nice to find the "S" emblem and give it to him for Christmas, so he can re-glue it on. Attached is a photo...

    Hello all, I'm new around here. Recently purchased a showroom condition 2014 v strom 650 and I am absolutely utterly in love with it. Best bike I've ever ridden. I want to fit some spot lights /auxiliary lights to my crash bars, but im at a bit of a loss as to which ones to buy. Any...
