Hi! I Own a Vstrom 650 cc 2015. I already bought the Eibach rear spring 8 inch x 2.25 inch / 750 Lbs... I'm looking for the adapters (bushing and collar) to fit it correctly, but I see that Procycle comes with 3 adapters and Race Tech has 2... Which one is the correct?

I bought a new chain (525), rear sprocket (43T) and front sprocket (JT, 16T) from Blair at SV Racing - as I have done previously with no issue. However when I went to replace the front sprocket the new one (JT sprocket - no holes) does not slide all the way in like the old one (old one has holes...

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...

Took my license class with Harley Davidson, so I go there every once in a while to chill out in the lounge or catch the events that go on there. The next day at the same event

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! Got a question and need a feedback / opinion. i'm riding a 2014 1000. Anybody have removed their thermostat and running on with no thermostat? what are the pros and cons of not having a thermostat? I'm from Singapore. Other than the monsoon season at the end of the year and the...

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...

Hi there, so I've got my eye on picking up a 2007 Weestrom in the next little bit, everything is in great condition except one of the rims is bent. In other unfortunate news a buddy of mine who has a 2014 with the spoked wheels on it has has a wreck riding offroad. He is o.k. but his bike is...

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...

First off....I've been lurking this board for a couple of years. I want to thank all of you for helping me make up my mind to get a V-Strom. I sold my Harley Springer Softail Custom and bought a 2012 Vstrom 650 Adventure. I love this bike. It's everything a Harley isn't. Anyway, I'm pretty...

I already tried swapping the stock exhaust for one from an sv650, but the center stand was in the way and I didn't want to remove it. Just looking for improvement in sound and weight; don't expect much for performance. I'm on a budget and don't want to spend $600-1000 for just an exhaust, and I...

Vstrom Xmas 2013 Tire Ride On Repair - YouTube Yes I can! Not Cali but still a very nice Xmas day!:hurray:

Has anyone ever planned a meet? I say that we pick a location like Raleigh, Greenville or Fayetteville. Pick a restaurant with a decent parking lot, lets all ride in, have a meal and see if we can't make some riding buddies. If nothing else, we can look at each others bikes and get some...

Hi everyone, I'm writing this posting in the hopes that someone might be able to recommend an aftermarket seat that isn't a Sargent seat. First, let me give some background on what's been going on with my order with Sargent cycle. 1.) I ordered the new 2012 DL650 seat on May 31st and paid for...

Just bought a silver 2004 DL1000 with 7500 miles. Feels just wonderful, powerful, controllable. This is my first bike so I was worried it was a little large but the center of gravity just feels right. I'm 6'3" so the bike just 'fits'. Glad to find a place to connect with other Stromtroopers...

I think the title says it all, a craigslist ad in my area has a guy selling side racks and aluminum boxes (panniers) for a V-Strom 1000. Does anyone know if these would fit on a 650? Thanks for any help.

I love this bike, I have 85,000 km. without any problems, both road and off is phenomenal faulted. El Blog de Palomares The photo is from Morocco on the route of the Cedars
