    Hey All, Trying to figure out what’s wrong with my 2011 650 storm. Currently with 84,000 miles I periodically get a check engine light with a c40 code variable from 10 up to 1000 miles this has been going on for over a years now. Bike never had any symptoms except for a slightly higher idle...

    Made a motovlog on my longest ride yet on my new V-strom! I rode it into the agriculture heartland of California, the San Joaquin Valley. One of my favorite places to wander around. It's been a dream of mine to start exploring the valley via motorcycle. Making it happen now!

    I just read that Suzuki is leaving Moto GP..that was a shocker ( at least for me) and I dont see Suzuki developing new bikes neither upgrading the actual ones. Even the Kawasaki Versys 650 ( an arch rival) got a new upgrade but none for my favorite bike my vstrom 650. Is Suzuki in crisis...

    Hello stromtroopers, i recently bought a Vstrom 650 and suddenly it wont start. I get error c42 (Anti-theft /Ignition error ). While reading the other forums i tried : Checking all the connectors for rust (Nothing found ) Measure the 100ohm resistor. (It shows 100) Clean the key switch and...

    Hello first time poster here and owner of a Wee for about a month and 1000 miles. I bought my bike at 30200 miles and it came with a rattling sound which was fixed by replacing a broken bolt in my crash bars. Now after a 400 mile road trip I've noticed a new, much more aggressive rattle which...

    Hi all. I have a question which applies to all bikes. I know my bulb is a 55w H7 that’s fine. What I’m looking for isn’t about the brightness but rather the range of the light. The stock bulb that came with my Vstrom 650xt was an Osram candle light colour but it had really good range lets say...

    Gidday, new Strom owner and new to this forum. I recently Baught a used 2012 650 vstrom in June. I rode out 6000km to Uluru from Cairns for work in 4 days which was fun but I started to see where I wanted to upgrade things here and there there's just a few details on specific things I don't...

    Temp outside is 92F, went for 2 hr ride, the tire and hub are very warm. Its not too hot like silencer, i can put my hands on it but it feels like 60-70 degree celcius. Like putting hands on sunny day concrete. Is is so because of asphalt heat being transferred? or what is going on? The front...

    While swapping my old rear shock and spring for an even older (but with much fewer miles) DL1000 assembly I heard a ping as something metal fell on the ground beside me and the mystery of the nut began. This thing has had me scratching my head for the last few days and I can't seem to figure out...

    Hi guys, New member. I live in Europe but found this site pretty great to try my luck here. Have been riding cb500x for about a year now (new rider) and would like to swap it with a Vstrom 650 (not something above, doesn't make sense to me, at least for now). After thorough searching, I...

    Hello all, I recently got a new 2020 vstrom 650 and it find it is kinda buzzy. Even when it is at a stand still it vibes pretty bad while I rev it up or at idle. It’s not horrible but it is enough to make my arms tingle after a bit of riding. The dealer said its normal but doing some research on...

    I bought my 2019 V-Strom 650XT Touring model brand new with zero miles. A short while after the first service, I began noticing a strange rattling noise that appeared to only occur when the speedometer read 51 mph on the dot. The noise is best described as a loose washer vibrating at high rate...

    Hello together, I'm desperate because I've been trying to get a front rim for my 2014 wee since 4 weeks but no supplier can deliver the part. The part is currently everywhere back ordered and nobody can say when they will become available. Also when I search for used parts I cant find any...
  14. DL650 and DL650A - 2004 to 2011
    I bought a vstrom 650 2005. The instrument cluster is working, it lights up, everything else works but the tacho and speedo. Done some digging and I found there is an unattached cable. Its running from the speed sensor on the front wheel and leads to knowhere. Can Anybody tell me where it should...

    Just curious, does anyone know why LeoVince does not have an exhaust option for the 2017+ Vstrom 650 models? They have exhausts for the Vstrom 1000's. Given the popularity of the Vstrom 650, I'm surprised they don't have ANY exhaust options for the 2017+ models. 2020 and still nothing. I...

    I'm trading in my 2009 VStrom 650, but I'm selling my Sargent World Performance seat separately. It is in excellent condition, having only been used for approximately 400 miles. Originally purchased in July of 2019. Asking $325.00 If you're interested, please email me at ajn1085@gmail.com I...
  17. DL650 and DL650A - 2004 to 2011
    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...

    Hello, I just purchased a 2017 650 xt and am getting ready to purchase some protection for the bike. I live in Utah and plan on riding a mix of fire roads and pavement and possibly some desert terrain. I am torn between going with Outback Motortek and Happy Trails. Can anyone speak from...

    Hi guys, I have '16 Strom 650 and want to upgrade exhaust. There are 3 choices available (not in particular order) 1. Yoshimura 2. Two Bros 3. Scorpion There are other brands but Im thinking about those 3. Can you provide feedback (if you're familiar with particular brand) and advise which...

    All, I'd like to install the oxford grip heater to my VStrom. I don't want to connect it directly to the battery because I am afraid I can forget the heater on after my riding. As I result I'll get a dead battery. For this reason, I'd like to use the grip heater connector which should be...
