Here is my steed. Tubeless spokes on a 2011, a thing of beauty... but there's an issue. When I bought this 2011 650 last summer the previous owner had put tubeless spoke wheels from a 2015 xt on it. However, that wheel isn't machined out to recieve the tabs on the older speed sensor. So...

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...

Hi! For the past few years, I've been riding BMW R1100 touring bikes (RT and S) and am now looking to get into some Adventure riding. I feel the GS is just a little too big and tall (I'm 5'9" and 160lbs with 31" inseam) and have heard/read great things about the Vstrom. They are a bit smaller...

Hi All, First post here. I had an accident while out on some remote trails a few weeks ago. Thankfully I'm fine and the bike only suffered cosmetic damage--headlight and lower fairings. I'm going with the X2 headlight for durability and much cheaper service/replacement--I take good care of my...
