    Took my bike to work one week, then left because of hurricane Ian. Came back to work, and went to ride the bike a week later. Previously had no issues. There was no damage, no flooding, and the bike is garage kept. While the bike was starting... ok, a little harder than usual, I noticed that the...
  2. DL650A - 2017+
    So I have a dumb question that I can't seem to find an answer to. So I have a battery tender SAE lead on my bike and I wanted to add on some heating gear. The fuse on the battery tender is only 7.5amps so it just takes 90watts the blow that fuse and my heated gear is about 115 watts. My question...

    Hi Stromtroopers, I recently bought a satnav and to hard wire to my 2008 vstrom I bought and installed a power distribution module (Innovv Power Hub 3 - INNOVV Power Hub 3 | INNOVV). Now that I've installed it I'd figure I might as well put a couple of USBs and a 12v socket on but am concerned...

    I have been riding my 2008 DL650 for about 5k miles now, and last monday I had an incident where my battery gave up. I went to start it up after sitting off for about 5 minutes after a long ride and it cranked slower and slower. First thing that popped into my head was the batter and possible...

    Switch comes on tack and speedometer cycle. After engine starts speedometer tack and headlights don't work. Turn signal comes on solid and stays on. This happens randomly. Bike runs fine during this. Local shops said could track electrical system at shop rate. No recommendation on time needed...

    My DL650 has electrical issues and while trying to diagnose them I had the front cowling off and I checked all the connections there and under the radiator. Everything seemed fine but when I put it all back together now when I turn the key on the dash acts like I have the 'engine stop' aka...

    I've decided to replace my stator as it's the last stone to turn over in my search for my charging gremlin. Jack from Roadstercycles as recommended ElectroSport stators ( I recently installed one of Jack's high quality rectifiers and he very kindly talked me through troubleshooting the...

    Hey everyone, Lately I've been experiencing an issue where on occasion ill go to start the bike and it sounds as if the starter doesn't have enough power to turn over, then last second it does. Not a big issue in itself and probably normal. What has happened recently though is I'm coming back...

    I posted a while ago about a problem my 2009 DL650 has been having for the past 2,000 miles. The VStrom has 38,500 total miles on it at this point. In short, the bike will suddenly experience a drop in RPM (extremely noticeable while riding) and then the power immediately returns in what seems...

    I went out to start my bike this morning and it was dead. Completely dead. No lights, no clicking, nothing. I cared it full last week so there should have been something. SO... I pulled out my jump battery, hooked it up and all the lights came on and all the usually hums and gauge cycling. The...

    Hello everyone, So i have a question, i recently purchased auxiliary lights for my dl650 2007 and hooked them up directly to the battery. They obviously work fine (i have also installed a switch), however i want: 1st - The lights to have power only when i switch the key to On. Right now anyone...

    At this point in time I have no idea what could be wrong with my 2009 Vstrom 650. It currently has 37,500 miles, and I purchased it with 32,000 miles. At about the 36,000 mile mark, I began to notice the RPM gauge showing fluctuations of about 500 RPM. The needle would just not stay in place...

    Hey guys, My battery still starts my engine fine, but I lost all power to my gauges and turn signals. Anyone ever experience this - is this likely a fuse issue? Thanks!

    Hoping to get some advice regarding an electrical fault I had this morning. Riding to work the gauge cluster started behaving oddly. Lights coming on and off, gauges reseting. The engine continued to operate as expected with no interruption. Eventually the odd behavior stopped and things...

    Hello! Long time member first time poster... After a long ride on my 2013 V-Strom 650 ABS I came back into my home town and headed to get fuel. Suddenly, I noticed my fuel gauge went from being solid bars to flashing sequentially from left to right. Even after turning the bike off and filling...

    My headlights have gone out on my '05 strom. To keep the explanation simple, when the connectors to the headlights are UNPLUGGED, they have full voltage across the pins (I think the voltmeter showed ~12V across the low beam wire and ~2V across the high beam wire) on both connectors. However...

    Bought a 2011 a few weeks ago, rode it home from seller in the Bay Area down to Los Angeles, been riding it a bit for the past 3 weeks. PO put an LED voltmeter on, and most of the time at decent speeds it was a healthy green. Turning ignition on and starting it was never a problem. Had it out...

    Long time no see everyone. Guess my Strom and farkles have been holding up! Anyway... Just was out in the garage trying to get the Strom ('09 DL1000) going after winter hibernation and it wouldn't fire up for me. Long story short it's some sort of electrical issue. Fuses good, battery is...

    I appear to be having some electrical issues with my 09 DL650. The majority of it appears to be related to operation of the turn signals. 1) When utilizing turn signals, the bike will sometimes die. Turning off turn signals, cycling the starter switch, and firing up the bike will cause it to...
  20. DL650A - 2012-2016
    Its become very apparent through searching the web that theres an emerging problem with the 2012 model year, and a particular area of the electrical system. Below the seat, on the left side of the bike, theres a huge wiring harness that sits directly on a ridge of the frame. At 21,000mi, my...
