  3. V-Strom Service & Maintenance Questions/Discussion
    Hey.. On a longer trip the other week, I discovered that I had some oil dripping from the left side behind the front sprocket cover.

    This motorcycle with 38,917 miles was involved in a sideswipe crash, striking a car at a glancing angle so that most of the relatively minor damage was done to the right side. All of the bike’s systems function – instruments, electrical components, lights, engine, brakes, transmission, exhaust...

    I'm selling my beloved V-Strom Adventure. We mostly rode it to the NC/TN mountains. It has been a fantastic ride but I have purchased another stable mate for my M109R.

    Hi guys, I ride a 2018 DL 1000 and I would like to know if anybody has tried the Air Flow seat cover. For those who have no idea what I am talking about www.airflowseatcovers.com .

    So due to the fuel shortage, the gas station (QuickTrip) that I go to for ethanol free fuel has been out for at least a week. I found out that the nearby boat marina has ethanol free fuel as well. So I went and bought a tank of fuel from there. The difference between the QT and Marina fuel is...

    I bought a new chain (525), rear sprocket (43T) and front sprocket (JT, 16T) from Blair at SV Racing - as I have done previously with no issue. However when I went to replace the front sprocket the new one (JT sprocket - no holes) does not slide all the way in like the old one (old one has holes...

    I had some stalling issues after long rides. Things seemed to be TPS related. After replacing the TPS with a new one, I'm now getting a C33 (injector signal #2 rear) error code. I'm not sure what to do now.

    Not sure of a better term than jerking, but I notice while riding that the bike feels like it's jerking or lurching while riding. While riding in gear, the feeling is like it jumps forwards ever so slightly, repeatedly every second, more so in lower gears. The feeling isn't bad, but it's...
