Where did u get that triangular silver bracket that hooks on blinkers forks and headlight?

Did you make the bash plate?

I just got 23 sv. It seems to be a great value with lots of fun.

Why does it slide on gravel? Due to suspension?

Cheers mate, I’ve just installed a new LED light bulb

Thanks for your help mate ! Super easy and helpful

Are you in napa?? I'm not too far away. Would love to check out the roads you are on in this video. VStrom is my next bike. 👍😁🏍

NIce vid. I often wonder why people bother with throttle locks when electronic cruise control is so much better and only requires a couple of hours to install. My Goldwing came with it and liked it so much that I put it on my 650 Burgman. And now the DL650 has it too. So nice to have. 👍

wat isthe purpose for the fork brace?

Own Gen1 vstrom650 no bash plate or crash bars gone 2 up with wife around oz on outback tracks without any problems . I've heard all the BS you need this and that and the other, it's nonsense. It's one of the best bike on the market.

Thank you Dude 👍

Super great video & helpful!! 😁

Are you filming this outside the loading bay of a warehouse?

That was a beautiful ride and video. I just wonder where the heck everyone is on this video, it needs more hits so come on all!

Thanks for making this 👍

I can hear everything but your voice man

Nice thxs for sharing

The only issue with this approach is that it is prone to accidental fire. The fuse is protecting a circuit with 25 amps (so, it will blow out if there is over 25 amps going through it). Now, you install an extension of the cable and most likely the wire is not rated for 25 amps, hence if something is wrong, the wire will heat up and eventually catch fire. So, to play safe, if you want to do it this way, ensure that your are using wire rated, say, 30 amps at 12V.

Hey I have a gen1 sv650 and I am trying to make it a scrambler and would love to know what suspension front and rear if you know of any is best for actually dirt capability

Absolutely loved the video. I know it’s because I was riding with those two cool guys. Thanks you two for a great ride/camping trip.

I am doing this over the weekend. Just a bit anxious about the 23% steep grade...:P

I just hit 30k on my 2015 1000. Heading to the tail of the dragon in NC/TN two weeks from today.

Wow, you're a dedicated Suzuki 650 twin rider. Just seen your recent video up Sonora Pass.Just bought one of the last '23 SV 650's. Love these twins. Talked to a tech at local dealer and he said he serviced a gen 1 DL650 that had 300k miles on original engine.Another man in South America had over 270k on his. Your SV will run forever.

Excellent video, excellent bike. Good to see you still have the DL. Sonora pass is one of my favorite roads. Moved to Idaho 35 years ago, but the roads here will never equal California's. In about a month, my brother and I will be heading up the pass to see a campground my dad took us to in 1967, then down to Sonora. I ride a '22 650 Adventure and my brother a Z900RS. The DL will be the mule. Anyways, I love VStroms and can't wait. Thanks. New sub.

Such a beautiful ride. I do it every year from the eastern side, never took the time to camp up there.

That looks like a nice campground… hard to believe there is still snow up there

I just bought a 23 650, white with gold rims.Just love it.

Enjoyed the informative video and entertaining video with excellent content and production but let's be real here we're talking Wee Strom not V Strom as I owned and road a '07 V 1000 Strom which left a lot to be desired in on road and off road situations also had oil leaks associated with the main oil gallery pressure on the countershaft seal to lubricate the transmission (poor design) which dumped oil on the cross over pipe under the frame which ignited from the catalyst on the freeway at 80mph it truly was a hot running bike. YMMV

bad audio

I’ve heard nothing but great things about the V-Strom!

Thank you for this! Helped out a lot ! Used this for my 2005 👍🏼

My 2013 model has a similar mileage to yours, but I did 43,000 of those miles riding it around the world two up. Spent a week in Napa Valley on our way round. Off to ride the NC500 around the top of Scotland tomorrow.

Worked there when it changed to portofino across the street from Tanglewood

Sorry for the spelling errors. I was just trying to post on a different platform and testing the waters

2012 V-Strom 650 was a first bike I bought my 16 year old kid as his daily high school commuter, in 2017. He loved it ! Summer, fall, winter, spring, the weather didn’t matter at all. Right gear and he was always happy. 😁 Last year my kid moved on into 2012 Honda Fury, and now the V-Strom sits in the garage all neglected. Time to revive the beast and put it on the road again ! 😁 It’s still in a relatively good shape, besides electrical problem (the cluster doesn’t work). Happy trails my brother !!!

I’m looking to buy a 2012 Vstrom 650 with 32k miles now. I’m comparing it to a 2015 BMW G650GS with 16k miles. I know the Suzuki has more power and is bigger and smoother, but there is something about the Beemer that I like, especially for a knock around town bike. Hard decision.

Any links to specific parts you used?

Nice build! I'm doing the same to mine, Yamaha FZ6, which looks a lot like your bike. My area is very rural, so I ride a lot of county roads, dirt, gravel, washouts, etc. I make it on street tires, but can't wait to add more stability/traction with knobbies. How did you mount your bash plate? I have a couple of unused "ears" on the front of my engine, but don't know if mounting to those is a good idea. Don't want to break the engine case. Ride on friend! 💯💯🏍🏍

Great review thanks buddy

How did you attach the usb charger? Did you get power from a turn signal and ground?

Nice video.You're a dedicated VStrom rider. Just picked up a '22 650 Adventure. Had a '17 DL . Great bikes. If you want to see a nut on an '18 DL, look at Trail Trash ADV on youtube. He puts it thru hell. Suprising where he goes.

How long was sonora with all the stops etc ?

Can you share anything about that first campsite ? Heading out there in 2 weeks solo.

That looked like fun, hope to ride that someday soon!

Can’t wait for the movie!

Big thanx for the video!!! The SV 650 is the bike i want for me as a pure beginner!!! Cheers from Serbia 🇷🇸✌️

Helo,steve~really breathtaking footage. catch you later. ✋

Some great scenery there. I have the same model and absolutely love it. Thanks for the vid.

That’s a nice video. We will be camping there early august. Was wondering how full/empty the reservoir is. Thanks!
