  1. DL1000 from 2002-2012
    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...
  2. V-Strom Modifications and Performance
    So I am curious if anyone has a preference for the kind of gas (ethanol or non-ethanol) and the preferred octane you use in your Wee's? I have a 2020 DL650 XT adventure I just bought and am not impressed with 87 octane non-ethanol but am only on my 2nd tank.

    Hi guys, Got the bike about a month and half ago, private owner. 2012 white dl650, with 5,500 miles on it. She drives great! not a single problem. I have just reached the 6,000 mile mark today. But I have noticed on the three gas fill up I have done so far, than the MPG for each period have...

  6. General V-Strom Discussion
    Hello all, I'm planning to take a week to meander around the state of Oregon in May, and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good resource for fuel station locations. Not a problem for the most part, but they're likely to be scarce in the remote SE part of the state. Any help?
  7. V-Strom Service & Maintenance Questions/Discussion
    Okay, so it is winter so I have been pretty much riding to and from work for the last couple months. Before that I returned from my Alaska trip and got pretty abysmal gas mileage. I chalked this up to a heavy load and a heavy headwind. That leads us up to this weekend. It was 60 degrees on...
