First video of the channel, mostly being used to test the waters with uploading and publishing. Owner's review of the 2008 V Strom 1000 as a used bike buy. Issues with the bike, positive points and my thoughts overall, all from the seat of the bike on the move.

    Hi, glad I found this video. I've just bought a 2008 k8 and am dissapointed by the lack of pull below 3k, so much so that earlier today I'd booked her in at a tuning garage to have a look see. It sounds like you've already sorted the issue with a power commander unit. Can I ask how involved is it to introduce the power commander? I'm ok with multi carbs but no experiencectinkering with FI systems. Thanks in anticipation. Steve

    Just bought 2005. Absolutely amazing bike, underrated imo. The only gripe i have is like with all bikes, suspension adjustment doesn't have enough range, rear even in tje softest setting is too much damping to be really comfortable. And lack of any damping adjustment in the front is absolutely unacceptable in bike of this caliber imo. Amazing engine, imo better than lc8, amazing sound stock exhaust, very comfortable seat, great wind protection with deflector, you can go 120 and it feels like 70 on dual sports likr ktm640 ; Oh and also theu missed the mark ny not adding abs which is real shame ;

    so basically 5 x 2mm spacers behind the rear ( or front if CV0nn is correct) sprocket and job done. No need for importing a 2mm thick disc at $$$. Have I missed something?

    Seems like cymarc has got this the wrong way around. The misalignment is said to be 2mm outwards, so the sprocket carrier has to be moved inside by 2mm. This product does the opposite. Surprised you liked the results.

      Also front forks are too hard for me so i don't understand comms about soft springs... Maybe in mine they were changed, definitely not undersppring, and damping also a little too much, would prefer softer setup

    Hi Mate. I've got a 2008 with 18000 miles on the clocks. Had it 7 years now and love it. Has aftermarket exhausts, power commander, MRA screen etc. Just had a full service and had the valve clearances checked but didn't need adjusting, but it did need the head race bearings replacing. I've just bought the replacement mirrors but not fitted them yet. I found that changing the sprockets and chain for a really good quality set helped smooth out the gear change a lot.

    i'm in california, i have a 2009 dl 1000 with 40 kilometers on it. it has the well known chudder at low rpm revs. People say its the clutch basket design. Do you know about this issue? What does this gear change enhancer do exactly...?

    • @tagmanone100
      @tagmanone100 4 года назад

      It apparently corrects the mis-alignment between the front and rear socket. All reviews say this is a good bit of kit. Seriously thinking of getting one myself. As for the clutch chudder check out the werks clutch basket upgrade for information.

      I made a clutch basket modification in my 1000 k7 V strom in England and I have to say that the gearbox is working much gently. Three years after modification and still ok
