Sit & Fly seat cover for the V Strom 800DE. Does it work?
I replaced my sheep skin seat cover with this “As Seen On TV” Sit&Fly mesh seat cover. Does it do what it claims (provide cool air flow between the seat and your butt)? I went 100 miles today, and I came away surprised.

Suzuki V Strom 800DE Spark Plug Replacement
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Месяц назад
At 7500 miles (12,000KM), you’re supposed to replace your spark plugs. In this video I show you how I did it. I am not a mechanic or trained technician. Don’t do what I do if you’re not willing to risk damaging your own bike. Take your bike to a certified shop. You’ll need to take off the plastics and tank. You can read my post on the V Strom forum about how to do that here: www.stromtrooper.co...
Installing Barkbusters on VStrom 800 DE

A quick and easy replacement of the factory plastic hand “guards”. Be sure to get the correct bike specific hardware (Barkbuster part BHG-114). I bought mine from Rocky Mountain ATV.

Dork said WHAT about the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE?

Ben (Dork) didn't think the 800 DE made sense "on paper." In this video, I give some reasons why it absolutely does make sense.
Suzuki V Strom 800DE 1,000 mile review.
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
I take the 800 off-road and make a mistake in a mud puddle. No harm (other than a scuff on the clutch cover). Here's some brief notes on what I think is a fantastic bike, both on-road and my novice attempt at off-road. I ride the waterfront along the St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair on a perfect Sunday afternoon in Michigan.
2023 Suzuki VStrom 800DE oil change and TFT interval reset
Просмотров 15 тыс.Год назад
First oil change after the break-in. I show you how to do the oil change interval reset. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK . It requires you to tap into the bike’s electrical system and if you do it wrong YOU COULD DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR BIKE. Take it to the dealer for the reset.

6x6 Bull Elk feeds near camp

While backpacking near Haynach Lake (not me) in Colorado, this bull elk came to feed. He hung out in this meadow for half an hour while the campers watched with amazement.
Crazy amount of work to change a set of plugs. How these are classed as adventure bikes is beyond me. These types of bikes should be easy to work on as they are designed to go to remote areas. Iridium plugs are crazy dear too, a change at 10K kms is ludicrous. I drive a VFR 800 and the plugs are good for 21/2 times that.
What kind of wire are you using to get into dealer mode? Also, did you have to disconnect the battery before attaching the jumper?
Don't disconnect the battery. You need power to do this task. I used a strand of 20ga Cat-5 solid core wire. Doesn't have to be 20ga but it has to be be small enough to fit into the slot on the plug. Those connectors are delicate.
I change spark plugs in my car around 80K miles. Why so frequently on a bike?
I really don't know why they say the plugs need to be changed so early. They're iridium plugs that should last 10s of thousands of miles. But, I did it because the maintenance schedule called for it. And apparently I hate money lol
Great Content you have! I am debating between that Suzuki Tall and T Rex or others. Are you still using the Suzuki or can you report on others you tried...Any advice I am only 5"9" and want the wind to go just over my helmet..Subscribed!
@@iamtubuler9266 thank you for the kind words. I have tried 4 windshields in the two seasons I’ve had the 800. The stock screen was completely ineffective. Then I bought the OEM tall screen which turned to be only slightly better, but still didn’t divert air overhead. Givi came out with their AirFlow for the 800, and I got it as soon as I could. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the answer either. Ultimately I ended up with a CalSci large screen. It’s ridiculously big, but for me (6’3”) it was the only screen that eliminated the wind noise and buffeting. Everybody is different though. What works (or didn’t work) for me isn’t necessarily the same results someone else will experience.
Excellent, sir!!! Thank you. I really appreciate it when people do maintenance so the rest of us have a guide. With that, I know after seeing your video, I would not tackle that project. Unfortunately, I don’t have that skill set. Well done, good sir.
Honestly, if I can do it, you can too. I'm not trained at all, just foolish enought to try it lol.
Did Jack Nicholson get into adventure bikes?
What size do you get?
@@noel.tompos i got the XXL based on the recommendation of the seller. I thought it was a little big for the stock seat. But I upgraded to the High Seat and it fits more snug.
Did you follow a printed manual for this? I don't understand why there isn't a handbook you get when you buy the bike.
There is a service manual available through Suzuki, but I don't have it yet. I had experience taking the plastics and tank off already. Beyond that, it was just examine and go.

Incomplete video!
great video, thanks!
The thing you missed was blowing off the top of the coils with an airline to remove any grit that may be there. It does look like that plug change could be skipped tho
I like this informative video. The rev setting is cool as I will need this when I pick up my 800RE as it was something I wasn't sure about. 👍

Another thank you for the service reset instructions. Just did the reset yesterday.
Dork is a Honda guy there's nothing changing that I notice since he got 300l really he won't sh*t about how great Honda's are that transalp that need 3 k just to get to the Level of pstrom yet he will tell you that that's nothing you gonna do that anyway not all ppl want heavy bars and heavy skid plate but hand guards and qs are nice add on
I appreciate your video, but there is no way I would be checking or replacing these spark plugs before the first valves clearance check and probably even later. These are iridium plugs that last in automobiles for life or at least 160000 kms. If there was really a need to replace them every 12000 kms, then Suzuki has a serious design flaw.
Suzuki and their Dealer's, just want your money and lots of it. Please quote what having the plugs replaced at a Dealer would cost! That and a Valve adjustment would be so cost prohibitive that 99% of owners will never do it: My recently purchased 800DE is my 91st New Motorcycle in 62 years of riding, touring, semi-pro racing, 1/4 mile races, Baja events, ISDT Rally's and I built Dyno winning HD Big Twin engines and raced 2 stroke Desert and Motocross and even Trials and I have always done my own maintenance; Stay away from DEALERS. I was recently quoted $180 for just an Oil and Filter change for my first service @ 553 miles and If I wanted THEIR recommended, CHECK all the boxes service, it was $280. By the way, Sparkplugs in MODERN engines, running NO LEAD gasoline and looking as great as yours, probably won't need changing for 70-80 thousand miles! I'm a Subscriber and I compliment your Video's!
So your an amateur motorcycle rider. Lol, Nice see others that hate to wast money at the stealerships. I got my 1st mini bike in 1967 or 68, not sure but many moons ago. I wish the shim method was never invented..
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to record this process.
Thanks for this, these videos are a great help to people doing their own service.
Great video, really appreciate the effort to help us out, I removed the tank to install the oem heated grips following the steps on your other video!! Thanks man
Looking at those plugs tells me I'm not doing it at 7500 miles but great video nun the less
Those iridium plugs will last forever. I'll wait until I feel the need to do a valve set before even thinking of plugs.
On paper it sucks compared to how it really is. I have one, its a great bike...
Need more info on setting Date and Time---you just glossed over that. Very well done and precise video--Thanks.
Hello greetings,i have one question,did you put a halndelbar risers on your bike and does it feel better like that,i plane to put them on my v strom 800,thank you and i wish you good time on your bike
I put Rox risers on. 1.5" up/1" back. If I knew better, I would've just gotten 1" up risers.
Thank you for the tip on resetting the display. I am super grateful for the assist. Have a great day
Really helpful. Thanks.. I was ok with everything except how to change the abs setting.
Resetting the service indicator works the same as on my '20 1050XT. Glad it is the same on the 800DE, thanks for showing that.
Hi, any idea how to reset the trip meters
Hold the DOWN toggle button for 2 seconds to reset the Trip Odometer.
So how do you adjust the headlight
I haven't done it because I don't ride at night too much. There's a thread on stromtrooper.com in the 800 DE subforum.
I just purchased my V Strom 800 today and I enjoy doing my own maintenance. I just wanted to thank you for putting this video together. Thanks!
Enjoy the bike and ride safe, friend.
Great video; thanks! So just wondering about the ‘throttle valve synchronization’ that’s listed on the 600 mile service… That’s a whopper in my service manual lol. Did you touch that at all?
I honestly don't know what that is. I hadn't even heard of it until you mentioned it. Then I looked at the maintenance schedule and there it was lol
thank you for this! very helpful.
Hi sir, can you pls let me know what luggage system you are using, the specific model for top rack and side soft luggage?
Can you also let me know your experience with giving airflow windshield with vstrom 800de. I'm planning for the same and I have soft luggage but they are touching the exhaust so I'm facing an issue there.
Good morning. I have Nelson Rigg rackless Hurricane soft panniers, and a Givi Trekker Outback 58L top case. I loved the Givi AirFlow on my 650XT but not so much on the 800. I swapped out the AF3125 on my 800 for a CalSci large screen. It’s massive but it’s the only screen out if the 4 I’ve mounted that’s provided good wind protection without buffeting or excessive noise.
I like the “f.ck-the-dealer” trick to reset the service infos. I had the previous model, there was not all this bullshit. Cheers. Thx.
Thanks, thats what i was looking for. I am picking up mine in 3 days :)
good to know but how to reset trip 1 or 2 to zero? and what is for the little P near lock when u turn it off, just noticed that the lights stays on..
Hold the DOWN button on the selector switch for 2 seconds to reset the trip odomters. On the key tumbler, you can lock the handlebars OR you can lock with the light on. Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but Suzuki gives you that capability lol
Thanks. Got mine yesterday and this is exactly what i needed!
oh just a heads up, do not leave these films on screens, for whatever reason it can end up damaging the displays on some products!
To me the t7 doesn't make any sense. Its a massively overweight dirt bike for me, and didnt offer anything over my drz400s as far as comfort, range ect ect. Have a deposit on a 2024 800de... but i dont know when it will arrive here in sask, canada. But i see suzuki canada has already lowered the msrp by like 600??? Haha maybe ill splurge on the skid plate! The tc on the 650 can be turned off(and stays off), level 1 is unusable on gravel, level 2 is also pointless.
Hey ! What is oil change period in your manual ? My european dealer says it's 12000km but online manual says 6000km. Thanks for any anserw :)
In the manaul, the Oil Change intervals are 600miles (1000km), 3750mi (6000km), 7500mi (12000km), 11250mi (18000km) and 15000mi (24000km)
How was it mounting the top case? Did you get the Suzuki base plate or can you just use the included hardware?
It's a Givi plate that I had mounted on my VS 650XT. The mounting holes in the plate line up with the holes in the plastic luggage rack. I did, however, fab up some support braces using 1/2" tube to help hold the weight of my top case.
@@due51outdoors thank you for the 411. Very much appreciated
Video worked perfectly on 2023 GSX8s! Thank you!
Phrase sir I did m'y 24000km oil and filtre change myself Now i m working on the reset you showed us But how in thé hell IS it to unplug the red thing ? It goes so easy on your vidéo but mine dont go out I juste cannot unplug the red thing Can you help me? Sorry for thé english...i m in south of France Many thanks
I'm sorry for the late reply. I just unplugged mine again and it comes off easily. You have to depress the side of the plug on the clutch side of the bike, then pull towards the front of the bike. I hope it works for you.
Hi mate. Can you write the wire spec or code again?
The jumper wire? I just used a piece of CAT5 solid wire. I had an old Cat5 cable left over from some long gone electronic device. I just a small piece of that and keep a handful of the strands in my tank bag, plus one wrapped around the wire on the plug accessed in the video.
Hi. Thanks, it helped me too. Manual also said about throttle valve synchronization. Did you do anything about it?
Thanks man, very useful. Picked up mine today.
Do you know how to reset the service light. I am thinking to do my own service to my bike
I have a video on it. Changing the oil and resetting the service light.
Reset worked perfectly. thank you!!
Please sir....i just cannot unplug the red thing.....how did you do that?
Question to jump or short DLC connector right on tiny hole is just to avoid ruining the rectangle holes where scan tool connector plugs in, wondering if both tiny holes have continuity to rectangle holes I mean whether are same wires or not
I don't think the rectangular holes are affiliated with the very small round holes above them.
