    Hello all, So I've taken this year to learn the art of ADV riding and I'm hooked except for how my fork seals are always leaking after a few hundred kilometers on logging roads or after a medium level mud puddle splash. I had my fork and dust seals replaced in spring 2022 on my 2012 vstrom 650...

    Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster here! I purchased a new (to me, obviously) K5 e28 V-Strom 650 in October 2022 with 61,138 km (38,000 mi). I've since put ~4000km (2500mi) in the 4 months I've owned it, slowly repairing/replacing the long list of busted and worn components, and working...

  5. DL1050 from 2020 - ?
    My father and I just completed the MABDR. Total miles door to door was 2,200, it took us four and a half days before the long trek home. It was a great time, no craziness. Today I cleaned the bike and then promptly dropped it in the garage on top of a stroller. (no baby in it!) It dented the...

    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!

    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...

    I just today purchased a new 2021 vstrom 650xt adventure. It's gorgeous and I'm thrilled to be a new owner! Previously I had a GS and then a Super Tenere but they were both huge and heavy and this bike will much more easily allow me to follow through on my plan to explore non-interstate and...

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...

    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...
