Thank you everyone for your comments and liking the video, also I have covered almost 10000kms solely on this bike. 10000kms review coming soon! Let me know if you want to hear something specific about this bike in the review!
Bro what about spare parts availability,, Am also planning to buy a bit confused on spare parts availablity specially in Ahmedabad east. ???
So bhaiya, all over city or long tour k liye konsa bike achha hain? Or all over mileage, engine bhi achha milega..😅
Very informative video...Just for reference.. i am 5' 6" and i am comfortable with bike in the city as my daily commuter. and clocked 5000 km on this. I dropped the bike once during the initial days on a slope because i was holding the clutch and by the time i switched my leg to change the gear, it went backwards and i dropped it. I have not dropped it again as i learnt the mistake i made. If you ride it regularly we will automatically get used to. U turns are managable, if you want to move the vstrom from the parking, I prefer by moving the bike without sitting, getting it into a comfortable position and then get on it and start riding, slopes always ensure i dont keep the bike in neutral and keep it in first gear when starting bike from slope, that way i have my right feet on the brake and dont have to switch my feet to change gear.
Also I purchased lower seat option and it was very hard and after using that for 2000 km, when i switched to the original seat, it felt like a sofa and i found not much of a difference in height. So dont go for it, unless you really need it. Hope this helps.
I never tried the KTM 390 Adv fearing the seat height but after riding the Vstrom, I feel that even KTM 390 is managable as our body gets adapted to the tall seat height if you ride it regularly
Tats a superb review my friend, u just point out each corner of the bike step by step, i was searching this type of moto volg, u did a great job keep it up 👍👍👍👍. I wish you all the best for your upcoming videos n travels
Glad you liked it, and thank you for your message.
Very well said about ladakh ride.. very genuine ❤
Left pulling issue can be fixed by aligning the rear wheel properly
if the vehicle is moving to left, then you need to get the handle cone set checked. It can be the major reason for that or the break pad setting also needs to be checked.
Good observation and knowledge,it's been done in previous video, i get it fixed around 7-8 months ago, it's there on RUclips.
Will Optional low seat do for me as I m 5' n 4"? Or I go for Gixxer 250?
At last some one telling the truth about splendor in leh ladakh
Very useful and informative for people who are considering vstrom sx 250 in their buying process. His comments and opinions are honest and not biased. It is something to be appreciated. 👌
Glad it was helpful! Have a great day
Most sincere and truthful review I have ever seen. H_dude , you are one of the most practical blogger. Thanks to you, for every true sentence you shared .
mate whats the average r u getting also at what speed too
Try motul 300v engine oil. Absolutely no vibrations whatsoever I'm using it in my Gixxer 250 naked.
Can you give where you get the viser extension
Gixxer have coneset issue..due to which if you hit a hard bump you will end up changing it .
Thank you so much for such a realistic, everyman review 👍🏼🙏🏽
Welcome, have a great day 👍
You don't need to defame people who go to ladakh just to feel good some people have it as dream and will do anything for doing it, and not everyone going on splendor make vlogging and even those who do very few of them get famous not everyone, I think you are getting jealous these days that your views dropped after Vstrom but 100cc guys getting spotlight 😂
everybody have the tendency to get jealous, tum agar nahi hote toh fir aap bhagwaan ho sir. and i dont even consume any content, jo bhi pata hai from my viewers sharing reels, commenting and sharing videos. Jab dekhna hi nahi, toh jalna kaisa. Bas strategy bata raha tha logo ki, tum lage raho, dekho aur unka business badhao.
@@HELMETDUDE😂 you are taking it way too personal brother people will continue to watch something as long as it's entertaining of coure the content makers will make money isn't it not what movies, web series, tv shows everything are for. Your problems only is that you are not achieving what those people are and bitching about them on Vedios ain't doing any good for you. Real famous people don't take any sides ever if you want to have more followers try to be neutral
@@rahuls7152well good for those who go there but what about the littering that has increased there nowadays, we can't blame any kind of community for that, car or bike. But where does human goal stop. Until they destroy the very land we walk on.
@@rahuls7152ruclips.net/video/FN6a3qKMmkk/видео.html
If this was years ago u can think how it's there right now. This places used to be magical now it's become photoshoot and drive thrills, fuck ur getting famous bs
Would you recommend this for urban highways?
I have 15 kms commute to my office. It is mostly on a big 12 lane road with signals at many intervals. So basically you need the ability to accelerate quickly and brake confidently. Currently I use activa whivh scares the life out of me everyday whenever a car passes by me at 100kmph. Do you think this bike is suitable for such a workload
It has great power and smooth breaking go for it.Sitting posture is just love.😊
Head light visibility?
So, in a nutshell, do you think Vstorm SX justifies the additional cost over Gixxer 250, for 90% city usage?
no, but with changed fairing, better tyres, more off road capabilities and better package for long touring compared to gixxer, yes. and amol waise bhi, honda suzuki are overpriced, why? they seem overpriced comparing to below average mediocre indian products because they offers alot, like features etc, but then it comes to engine and refinement, they are far behind compared to honda , suzuki and yamaha.
if someone is going to buy honda or suzuki, there is no other option apart from paying that extra money, all because of its quality and being a foreign product.
Very nice review👌
I will buy the VStrom 250 SX if Suzuki increase the suspension travel, increase the tank capacity to 15 litres, slightly taller handlebars with a revised peg position for ease of riding when standing up on the pegs, also give switchtable ABS, a bit more low end torque and a stronger light.
Buy RE
Im just confused,which one should i go for Sf or Sx (Im college student and it will be my 1st bike and mostly i want the bike for daily use and touring)
Sf, you do touring on sf also but vstrom would be a hassle in city! Still go visit showroom and take test ride and decide for yourself. Also, if sx is the choice and budget no issue, check R15
Nice content..
can you make a comparision video on cb 200x and vstrom 250
There is no comparison between cb200x with v storm, it's not even 200cc as well.
Sir we can covert the seat height from 835mm to 810mm
Honest review thanks
My pleasure
Bhai No joke! Wo left side pulling wala issue mujhe bhi hua. Aaj hi test ride leke aaya. Around 125 kmph tak hi le Jaya paya bike ko.....chalate time kuch off off sa to lag raha tha but Maine socha balancing issue to nahi hi hoga Suzuki mei.....jab abhi aap ne bola tab click Kiya mujhe
Hello Sir ! You Speak Well and far better to Many Famous RUclipsr
Thank you very much akashdeep
If it is used for long commute like karjat or lonavala
What is your suggestion on bike & power for highway
Perfect. Well balanced on higher speed, comfortable with pillion as well and giving great mileage too.
Bhai Mast review.
V Strom ka 2023 version aane wala h kya?.
Same hi chipkayenge agar aayega bhi ,nothing will be changed in the new model.
Does anyone know what he has attached on his handlebar. It is some type of a bag ?
Ya he is using a handle bar bag and in next video he will share the usage and details about the product too 👍
Have you tried the trick of disabling ABS by putting it on middle stand and let the engine run on first gear for few seconds?
Actually i haven't installed a 3rd party double stand, it's solely on side stand, and no i havent tried such jugaad 😅
Hi, is Suzuki V storm SX good for daily city travel and highways?
for city there are way better bikes, highness, duke, hornet, fz etc
How to fix backseat, I am not able fix it back of vstorm Suzuki 250 cc
You will get mods and accessories from brands like bandidospitstop etc
Awesome review 👏 ❤
thanks anuj, now one from you on your Dominar ;)
@@HELMETDUDE okk bro very soon😍
Fact 👍
Highway Cruising speed of the bike . is engine strained at 90-100kmph ? at same time how about vibrations in this speed range ?
easily 108-111
How about comparing it with dominar 250, i am a owner of dominar 250 2023. Am excited to see such comparison
in a short note i would say if city riding is there, prefer dominar 250. But overall for city there are many good bikes, i just said dominar 250 out of these two choices. if Touring then vstrom anytime.
Kya highway pe overtaking mein koi problem hain ?
Plzzzz tell
No problem.Very smooth.Before buy this bike mene yehi sab bahut soch rha tha par once u will habituate i will definitely feel smooth.
Left pulling is evident in gixxer 155 also
thats sad, then i guess after TVS suzuki bhi usi raah pai chal raha hai 😂
Bhai meko 2nd hand me 2023 ki Suzuki V Strom mil Rahi hai 2LKH ki mil Rahi hai kya mujhe buy karna chahiye?
its a good price but make sure you check its condition, get it checked from mechanic and ask the service details, if any service has been made. if everything is alright, good condition etc and your requirement is to get a touring bike, then yes it a good choice.
I think rusting problem is due to 3 things. 1 Inferior material and 2. is tropical. The place where you ride the bike , like humidity and close to Salty atmosphere like Mumbai-Chennai.3. surface coating like paint, plating etc. Go for powder coating instead of painting and do not wash it everyday, do it only when needed
I live in BLR and shortly after delivery I noticed rust on the chain and under the footpeg. Brand new bike. I was shocked.
@@alzig2061 that shouldn't have happened. Just check the date of mfg on your RC and delivery you got. Just a doubt. That do not justify the condition. Chain rust is more concern and surprise too
It's solely because of inferior quality of paint
How's the engine refinement in vstorm??
Chalao aur jaano, test ride try Karo. But ya it's good.
Each and every point said about this bike is fact fact fact
Bro make a tour video of tvs ronin also
Ya let me plan soon, thank you for the message buddy!
Bhai apki sari videos delhi maine... ab muje finally aapse ye puchna h ki aaj mar h 2024 me ye bike lena prefer karoge ya nhi... kyuki updates nhi aarhe isme.... abhi ye leni chahiye ya koi suggestion apka
kuch updates nahi hai kaam k,same old model hai. agar discount mai mil rha hai aur aapka goal long touring hai toh test ride lo jake aur acha lage so you can consider, or else for daily city and all, pass.
@@HELMETDUDE Thnx Dada.. waiting for usd and display update...🙏
Mai bhi wait kr rha hu. Slipper clutch aur suspension k liye.
How is the clutch lever? Is it smooth in action?
thanks for bringing that out, stiff clutch is also one of the factor makes vstrom riding in city traffic tiresome and difficult.
yezdi adventrue is better option . now it has slipper clutch and more refined engine.
@@DilinMD okay good, why waiting, buy then and share your experience as well.
Bhai bike is really good.. but stopping ppl n asking dem kaisa dikhta hai thoda jyaada tha..😅
Honda cb350 vs SX 250,
Which one will be better buy ?
Which one did you buy..
I'm going to any one of the two tomorrow.
@@raktimphukan7523 speed 400
Any update bro ?@@raktimphukan7523
5 feet 6 inch rider can ride this bike comfortably and stability
Good luck then
Left side pulling is now very common...I too have this problem in my bike...still didn't find any solution for this...
Indian roads to bike : sidha nahi chalne denge tumko 😅
@@HELMETDUDE True 😁
My Dream Bike 🎉
About your view of taking personal vehicle to ladakh is so weird! I mean activa platina fir bhi kharab ho sakti hai, 250 cc engine me koi farak nhi padega. My cousin took his avenger at 30000kms it completed 80000 km before he shifted to a car! Nothing happened to the bike after going to ladakh!
Any of you feel engine heating on the right side?
Yes little will be there,nothing to worry about. That will mostly happen in the city. It's normal.
Bhai khud puchega toh sab accha he batayenge logo ke reaction ko cover kar👍👍👍👍👍
what about breaking in raining as there is no abs for rain
modes are gimmick, i have been through all weather to be honest, except snow lol
so ya it works absolutely fine.
@@HELMETDUDE snow is different terrain
Xpluse 200 4 V vs Vstorm which is better for all round city tour offroads
depends on individual's choice, for highways vstrom is still better, for off road i would say xpulse is better and then if you ask me highway touring with pillion, vstrom is the winner. Now you pick one seeing your requirements.
@@HELMETDUDE is v storm doing some off road also I like vstorm 250 more
@@sahilmalik9823 yes it would not have been a problem with little bit of off road
Gear changeing tight?
Not at all, regarding gears and gearbox, you can check ride performance video on vstrom.
- i commute over 60 km daily in traffic and the oil cooling is so good that even in bumper to bumper traffic there is no heating issues !
- Handle imbalance and lhs pulling even i am facing hoping suzuki does some r/d on this.
- Mileage is just great maybe the best in 250cc category
absolutely correct, perfectly said.
Mileage kya hai
Daily commuting k liye xpulse kaisa rahega like 100 km per day
if you ride alone,ek dum solid. fun to ride, lightweight, esay in traffic, good with mileage and city plus covering long kms like 300-400 is piece of cake.
@@HELMETDUDE aur apki wali v storm
Main confuse hu xpulse pro lu ya V- storm
O Bhai kabhi apke dost /Bhai Raju Bhai k bareme v batao video banao.....🥀
ahmedabad jayenge fir pakka!
@@HELMETDUDE ok boss 👍🏻
Some major issues I have personally felt:
1. Rusting issue almost sabka hai.
2. Handle bar pull(left, right) , wobbling bahat logo ka aa raha hai. I had a very minor fall (bike landed on a car on right side), handlebar started wobbling very slightly when trying to make the handle bar straight after a turn. Been to best service centre of Bangalore yet the issue is still there (infact I'm right now in service centre now it's my 3rd visit).
3. Not a major problem but I'm feeling vibration post 5000rpm.(it's a unit specific issue)
The third issue being faced by every 250 owner, even with gixxer 250
i hope things gets better with your bike soon.
If you are not aware of DV, you may be new to Bangalore.
Bro.. Ye Question 8 ke answers bahoot hi brutal and unnecessary hain. and it doesn’t even apply to everyone. Everyone got their own responsibilities and roles.
But the way you answered you sounded like you were accusing everyone who has been to Ladakh or Locations similar to that.
I have been to Ladakh, Zanskar, Kashmir, Mustang.... and many other places. You're here to provide solutions and information, but it sounded like hate.
and Yah, before you ask or judge I'm an employed person too.
If these accuses or things work for you, you should keep those to your self.
Anyway.. Nice content, keep up the hard work.
thanks for your message, thing is that did you able to keep it with you? you have thought, you have your own experience and you have your own thought process and i am not arguing or saying anything that you are wrong.
Just like you, i too have my personal opinion and thought process, some agrees, some dont. I didnt meant that thing for every ladakh explorer, i just meant those people who dont see anything logical but take their 100cc vehicle merely for views etc. Later end up buying big bikes and lots of attention. I am fine by that too, but i have a rational and open mind nature, what i see, i feel and i speak. I prefer being real instead diplomatic and scam aam janta. Thanks for the last line, means alot.
@@HELMETDUDE That’s fare…being transparent is good.
But the thing is I’m full time UI Designer and Part time Traveler but i do travel a lot.
The thing you have said were true… but those lines should had a sensor line added😅
Sab lapete me aa rhe bro.
@@KarmveerSinghKarmveerSingh good to hear that about your job front. Do well at your job front because that's what important, baki sab chalta rahega, all the best, ride safe have fun.
@@HELMETDUDE Haha... Thanks Bro... and same to you.
Good Video.
Next time don't wear a Full sleeve shirt.
😊❤
Tyre pressure for front and back plz
Its in the chasis i think 22 ,
It seems wobbling issue is because of tyre
Wobbling is different, for that you can check my previous videos on apache. And yes ,with change of tyre, you can get rid of this issue. It's with royal Enfield, tvs mainly, due to poor stock parts.
Bro does it really hurt the testicle ? As mentioned by faisal khan in his review
uske ando mai defect hoga, its fine for me.
I agree i bought it and went on a 1000 km ride. My testicles are unharmed
Your height without shoe ??
Joote nikaal k agli baar measure karunga tab batata hoon.
everyone is bitching about low suspension travel of this bike, but really dose it matter if your riding on highways all the time
Yes, rightly said. Explained that in the previous video of vstrom, it's with the name ride performance of vstrom.
Leh ladak good point. 😂
good to see that someone thinks like that. other wise most of them will be triggered.
Rusting issue and customer servixe quality
indeed!
Good video. Im getting a thudding sound from back whenever bike goes on even on small potthole or speed bump. Does anyone else had this issue?
Experienced riders do not care about the height.🫡
