    2018 650 XT Is this fuel pump noise normal? It sounds the same if the tank is low or full.

    Hi, I have scoured this forum for the solution, but haven't been able to find any previous threads for the next steps. While riding my 2017 650xt started the fault indication, it still rode and sounded ok so I made it about 10 Kms home. I have put it into dealer mode, and the C41 code appears...

    Hello everyone, My fuel tank is full of rust, I cleaned it several times, I scraped it as much as the 2 holes of the fuel tank allow, I cleaned it with baking soda and vinegar, the same thing again, the last time I cleaned it using Electrolysis, to some extent, was cleaned, but again every 2-3...

    My 2002 was running fine after I resurrected her from being submerged in brackish river water from Hurricane Ian. My earlier maintenance of the electrical harness and waterproofing of everything with dialectric grease saved me some misery as most of the connections were pristine and the o...

    When I bought my second hand 2012 650 ABS I was unaware it had some surface rust in the tank, after monthly cleaning the strainer and reverse flushing the fine pressure filter, I finally refurbished the inside of the fuel tank, which went well. But my fuel filters were never as efficient as they...

    Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster. I have researched and read extensively throughout this forum and the VStrom Riders Intn'l forum for anything related to fuel pump replacement/rebuild; I found lots of useful info, and was able to self diagnose the issues I am having (odd high pitched...

    I am new to this group, so forgive me if this has been discussed, and point me in the direction of the thread please. I have a 2007 DL1000 that after riding it a few miles will seem to lose power. If I raise my rpms and push through it, it will shudder a few times and then smooth out. A little...

    I noticed this noise from the fuel pump when turning the ignition key. I expect the smooth buzz but not the rattle-like sound. Is this normal or is something the matter with my fuel pump?

    Hello. Was going to replace the regulator (15610-27G00) atop the fuel pump, have changed the lower mesh filter, but wondered if I can just replace the steel nozzle(15610-27G00-000) that sits in there. Which part does the high pressure filtering? Much thanks. 2007 Wee.

    Hi, I have an issue with my 2010 650. The phenomenon is when the fuel tank is about half loaded and under, when the RPM is above 5000 the motorcycle start to ”leap”, it’s happening when the engine is warm and not from the beginning of riding, did someone had it also? What could be the reason...

    Had the bike for over 12 years has a ton of after market add-ons & exactly 40066 miles on. Had little to no issues with & let a buddy take around the block yesterday. Got Appx 1/2 mile away then left him. Tried to start & eventually seemed like it wanted too but battery low. Towed it home &...

    Hi All again, Sadly, due to an unknown bug (identified now as Forum-COVID-20) in the StromTrooper system, my original post (and login details) were deleted. I had written war and peace regarding the issue, but I will give the five minute version. Problem: Once warmed up, the bike would bog...

    Last week i bought my first Vstrom, a 2007 DL650. I bought it used with about 20k miles on it. Was out riding the bike around (about 200 miles), then when i was climbing a hill the engine died. I still had power and the dash was on. Initially i tried to restart the engine, but to no avail...

    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...

    Sorry for the War and Peace below, but I hope someone can shed some light on this issue... So a few months ago I heard this constant whistling/whining noise when my 2005 DL650 (clocked just over 50k, regularly serviced) was idling. The mechanic said it might be the fuel filter, but he also said...
  16. V-Strom Service & Maintenance Questions/Discussion
    I have a rusty fuel tank. I bought muriatic acid and some chain to shake around in the tank. Is it OK to leave the fuel pump assembly in while I do this, or will the wiring (rubber, copper, unknown metals) be harmed by the acid? If I take it out, I'm left with a huge hole in the bottom of the...

    Got my bike back from the dealership for the recent recalls. Was riding it the other day and it shut off going down the road and wouldn't start again. Says "chec" on the display, and I noticed the fuel pump isn't making any noise when I turn on the switch. Any ideas? I just checked the connector...

    hey guys, I have the following issues on my 2006 DL1000 with 99,000 miles! Fuel Pump Not Fully Priming When I turn the key to "on" the fuel pump only primes for half a second. (Not enough to start the bike) so I turn the key to off and then back to on. Almost like clockwork, the third time I...

    ok, so I had a little incident with a cute and fuzzy bunny yesterday and did lay the bike down. My gear did it's job and the bike only suffered a few cosmetic damages. I was in Jersey and about 200 miles from home and got a bit nervous when I turned the key and didn't hear the familiar...

    I am taking my 2011 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 up to Alaska with a friend on Friday, and my fuel pump has stopped working. I'm pretty sure that the problem is the high-pressure fuel filter inside the fuel pump assembly, as I have replaced the pump itself already. I really need some help finding either...
