    2015 V-Strom 650 upgrade Questions

    So, I believe it's time for an update. The seat was recovered with thicker foam, especially in the front. This was a cost-effective upgrade, considering the increase in comfort. With the slightly higher seat, the lower footpegs don't seem as necessary anymore (or I could just be getting more...

    2015 V-Strom 650 upgrade Questions

    I've got a rolling chassis of a mx bike that I intend to use in a future project. Went to look at it and found that the handle bar actually looks like it will work nicely. It's a little lower than the stock bar(will fit raisers) ,but it has a lot less sweep and it's a bit wider. Looking at...

    2015 V-Strom 650 upgrade Questions

    So I had the privilege of blowing both front fork seals on my V-Strom 650. Took the bike out for its first trip (new to me) to see if I like it and if I'm going to keep it. I took the gravel roads from Witbank to Verena , then Loskop , Tontoldoos and Dullstroom. Highway back to Witbank. I...

    Heated Grips removal - Vstrom 650 '15

    I bought my bike with heated grips. It seems to be a factory install and not oxford grips. Is it possible to remove and reuse the grips without destroying them ? I want to install a handlebar with less sweep.
