V-Strom (650cc & 1000cc)

TaNk3e · July 9, 2010

Hi boys and girls,

My Strommy 1000 has just hit 20,000km mileage. I've not done anything major on it so far, just the usual engine oil and spark plug changes. Am going in to K&T for fresh oil, any ideas on what else needs to be serviced? Throttle-body sync? Valve clearance? Any advice appreciated, thanks!

i think juz normal lo, change oil, plugs and oil fiter. change or wash air filter lo lastly wash ur throttle body sync and balancing.

i never have good thoughs of bike alarm.

1st it may drain ur battery
2nd the distance stated on the box or manual it only applies to flat plains only, without wall or any other obstruction.

i think using a disc lock alarm is better like 'xena'

chong aik is the agent selling this in singapore.

ok, thanks for your suggestion. i will consider that disc lock alarm.

ALERT

Guys I went to Ex Equip just now...I need to find what engine guard u all using...some might not be able to use the slider due to your engine guard

At the moment we are considering making the slider at the main frame...

Those using Hepco guard on Vee might not be an issue...as per al-simmon setup

but those on givi...

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/ezimagecatalogue/catalogue/variations/3754-425x350.jpg

Base on the pics above...seem like that its not possible to mount the slider...

Those on givi can u confirm this?

Another issue is Wee

I think all u engine guard mounting cut across the main frame bolt rite?

if that is so then it might not be able to mount too...

As im on reservist now...there might be some delay for this mass order...

For the interested party

THose with guards possible to come down to eq extreme personally this week?

let them have a look and they might able to customize accordingly....

Vee and Wee Crash Bar have different design and fix point, though both are Hepco Made, Thanks Khai for the info, I did a search on VSRI/Stromtrooper and it seems that there are Wee Riders who did have Crash Bar with Centre Fixing (SW Motech, Hepco) and also fix up sliders with no issues.

I will be going down Extreme this Tuesday with my bike to let them see.
