V-Strom (650cc & 1000cc)

[cstay66]

bro,

 

Don't worry about the fall. Hope you'll recover in no time.

Every fall will make you a better rider.

 

 

crash bar, hand guard are important.

 

riding gears too.

 

ride on.

 

send my regards to all strommers u meet tonite.

[byteblock]

dude,pop over to ebay.com,see if got anything u need to replace over there.

 

 

damages to my wee-strom:

 

1. scratch mark on the right side of the givi top box;

 

2. scratch mark on the right hand guard;

 

3. broken casing of right front signal light;

 

4. crash bar (or engine guard) bent in and touching the right side fairing;

 

5. foot rest on the front right slightly bent.

 

i rode back the bike on sunday with the above condition.

 

compare to the rider, this is one tough bike to own.

and i dun see the need to check out so many sites to validate the DL650..

this is all you'll need:

uhmp anway the 13-14k is bike only

[GuiNNeSS]

take care cstay.. like all haf said, as long as u're fine, bike can be repaired.. we'll see u back in no time!

 

kish: 13-14k is otr? tats a gd price.. tot euro is inflating, still can get such gd pricing.. i got mine exactly last yr for 17k.. but im younger so insurance a lil higher.. n yes, it comes wif 2 sparks per block.. so altogether 4 plugs for better emission to pass the euro IV rule.. and wif tat higher consumption.. and dun believe wat tat old man at loois say.. it can drag on till god knows when.. so dun put ur hopes up too high... cheers!

[cstay66]

[cstay66]

hi all,

 

after 4 years and 50,000 km on my wee-strom, it's time to give it a tune.

 

any idea where is the best place to check engine and transmission.

 

the "FI" - fuel injuection signal is turned on intermittenly.

 

the bike function as normal though.

 

thanks.
