V-Strom (650cc & 1000cc)

whould it make much of a different for speed at 160km-180km/h

stability wise:cheeky:

 

yeah, much more stable at 160-180kmph. stable in the sense that the steering goes where you point it. I still say changing fork springs are better.

mine sometimes backfire at low rpms....does yours?

 

I thought so also, except my pipes so loud I can't really differentiate both sounds.

There is some diff with the fork brace on bumpy/uneven roads too. Things like the white speed regulating strips, I can basically ride thru them like there almost not there at all. For my body weight, the stock shock springs works fine for me so it's only a fork brace upgrade for the front. Best of both worlds will be aftermarket fork springs, fork brace and aftermarket shocks.

I will definately procure them because me and my GF combine weight would exceed 170 kg:cry:

That could be due to the throttle boots coming loose or little bit off place. Reseat the hose n tightened up the clamp.

just want a show of hands.

how many of my fellow strommers would be keen on this black sticker

piece to protect the finish/cleanliness of

the lower frame above your gear shifts/brake lever.

 

there's a US dude doing it too,can't remember his price though.

its for both left and right sides.

have yet to get the exact price quote though..my feeling is in the $12 per set region.

anyone?

Mine is the opposite. Usually hears the brushing sound on free wheeling. When acclerating no, thk the sound of the engine silences it.

 

Bro, dun thk there is any relation between brake n signal. Often, signal on dashboard flickers faster means 1 of the signal lite bulb is blown off. Did u chk any of ur signals not flashing?

 

I got this a mth ago. Found the rear right signal wasn't flashing so right front flashes faster. Took out the rear bulb, it wasn't blown. Clean off the dust at the contact, put it back and it flashes again and on dashboard it flickers back normally.

I used to have the same problem. It disappeared after I changed the front brake pads.
