V-Strom (650cc & 1000cc)

Yeah I agree

 

mxpx13, I guess you are riding the new Wee. Are you riding 90-100 KM most of the time? If you are then confirmed it will be abt 500 km. But if you're not, could you tell us your average speed and so far your full tank can cover how many Km before topping up? This will tell us how much better the new bike is. And nope I will still stick to the old wee.

U can check out at us.ebay or uk.ebay different seller different cost mine $290 mainstand & handguard $80

 

Same price as you buy here, not much different lol but at least there's place to find the spare parts apart from the 2 forums.

I am still running it in so making a real effort to keep the engine below 5000 rpm, so bear that in mind. It feels like a very comfortable speed 90km /100km

 

 

The range is good. I filled it up after 347 ,The fuel indicator was flashing and carrying on but it turned out I had over 3.5 litres left still in the tank. This gives a real range of well over 400++

Not hepco it's suzuki mainstand model 2004-2012

This fits 08 Wee?

[mafitra]

Are you referring to Barkbuster or OEM Guard? OEM Guard need to check your bike years with the supplier as it seems Suzuki did some minor adjustments over the years to the switches, which affect the handguard

most of the vees will have this problems, to sove this issue

 

1. pay $100 to change the L shape flexible connectors under the tank every year.

 

2. do not smoke close to the bike when you forgot to ride her (free)

 

3. ride the bike every 2 days and not wait for 3 days...(free)

 

4. sell the bike.....get a S10 or BMW....

[metalstorm]

Dear stromtroopers,

 

I found the strong petrol smell coming out from the oil tank cap, any other user have same problem or know how to solve it?

 

I parked my wee side stand since cant install mainstand due to leovince full system.I always pump half tank(10~12 L) Esso 98 when hitting the reservoir.
