1) Which oil do you use?
2) Left side pulling issues?
3) Engine heating?
4) How often you change air filter and brake pads?
1. Motul
2. Yes it is there, but can be reduced by maintaining proper pressure.
3. In heavy traffic it is there but bearable.
4. Air filter every service, brk pads in 10K +
Clocked 4k km on my vstrom. I'm getting 39-41 KMPL in highway. I maintain 70-85 km/hr. In city traffic you can easily get 35-38 KMPL. Best bike for this price, they could have improved the instruments cluster and headlight throw, apart from this I dont have any complaints.
City 35-38😮 I'm getting 31-32 only city mileage, BTW which city??
Bangalore
Correct. At least upcoming year they should improve these things.
I add some here. Mainly longer suspension front n rear not possible if they provide rear also longer it increase height.. so rear I expect Xpulse like suspension..at rear.. n secondly Fresh headlight n tail light design we don't want gixxer flavour... 3rd New Tft ktm like instrument is mandatory because itsc250.machine people ready to pay extra . 4th braking shoul be improve like KTM THEN I READYBTO BUT ON EMI ON 2025
I agree. Also I find the exhaust note to be somewhat underwhelming. Also i really wished they made a matte finish instead of glossy everywhere
Bhai, could you please let me know the best service center in Bangalore.
Nice long-term review, buddy. Please note that the speedo has a 10% error. Which means when you're doing a speedo indicated 100 kph, you're doing a true speed of 90 kph.
its exactly 7-8% speedo error. tested with proper gps devices.
Yes, This is totally true and I have seen pretty common in these segment bikes. Thanks for sharing this.
V-Strom not 'storm'.
as you ride Himalayan too, which one do you prefer between v strom and Himalayan
See bro it's tough question 😂
For me what matters most is Reliability (as I travel Solo to mostly remote places), Refinement(Smoothness), Good Highway touring Capability(like effort less crusing power for long duration) which I feel still lacks in Himalayan.
So I would still choose Vstorm.
But but but I love the off-roading capability( torque, suspension) of Himalayan. If there is a situation where off-roading and mountain ghat roads are there (for example Ladakh) then I would choose Himalayan. But practically to reach Ladakh(any such places) one need to travel hell lots of miles on Highways.
If fog light installed does showroom denies warranty
It depends if you have disturbed any electrical wiring (like cutting n joining of wires). In my case I have used proper relays(plug n play, no cutting requires), so I didn't face this issue. Even recently I changed my battery at Rs 0 under warranty.
Aap mic konsa use kar rahe ho
Brother even I live in bengaluru. Thought of buying this bike, but after little research, I am conrernced about the Suzuki service, negative reviews on suzuki service centres, rusting problem. Where do you give your bike for service brother? will be waiting for your valuable response! Thank you...
Service is fine in bangalore
In my research, all bike rust in costel areas,
Suzuki service is good in City but if you live at village then it is issue
Rest is good with this bike
Ninestar or orion r good for service
@@debashisghosh9422 Thank you for the reply buddy!
Can you please specify the location of Orion or Nine star? I can see many services centres with the same name...
It’s been more than a year I own vstrom, Service in Blore Orion Suzuki is good, in Aryan also it’s good… I’m fully satisfied with bike.. You might not like it initially but u started loving it as time flies as shumi says your going to enjoy it in long term it’s true
Som Bhai, can you review 2024 edition, I planning to buy. But I get to know there is some engine issue is there with 2024 edition.
Where are you from?

Sure bro, I will try.
Issue hai kya isme? 2024
Planning to buy this
Great.❤
Bro,
This bike surely give 35 kmpl + if you drive below 80 KMPH,
I think you are driving to fast because if you go more then that then 30 kmpl is ok
Yeah bro, I know it is give good Mileage but I love to ride it fast 😀
Bhai left side pulling isue to hai bike me, tyre pressure bhi sdjust kiya but still prob hai
han bhai, mera bhi same situation hai. But amount of that pulling effect gets reduced by maintaining correct pressure.
Mene booked kr Li hai 🥳
congrats buddy 👍
Bhai kitne ki PDI final.price aur konse state mai
I seen only this channel said negative on suspension.. KTM HARD SUSPENSION BRO COMOARE TO VSTORM..ktm longer suspension but quality not good
I didn't say vstorm's suspension is bad, I say it's suspension is good for highway touring but bad for off-roading.
This is ownership experience so far with this bike.
@@RoamwithSom bro k but I m not taking about off road..but tell me in village patch road some city patches how was it...
Spare parts availability is s major issue in pune for vstrom
Oh, is it ? In most big cities it shouldn't problematic. Suzuki has to improve on it seriously.
❤❤
🙏
Na ye bike puri tarah se off roading me liye h , nahi ye bike proper city riding ke liye h😂
baat toh sahi hai.
Bahi may petrol pump ka pas dekha
han bhai, thanks for connecting.
Excellent bike but massively overpriced.
2.18L onroad in my area
Cheaper than R15 and mt15
2.26 lac. in most of the states...
Maintain Chain & Disc brakes regularly
Yeah, but quality and durability is good.
@@rohithsai7178 where r u from bro
I need to buy it
How could be this as budget bike? It's over priced
If u compare with Gixer since both are same bike
I wouldn't agree when you say it is same bike as Gixer. I completely understand and agree both share same engine, chassis, suspension etc... but there are differences like tyre size, handling, tweaking, ground clearance etc. It feels these differences doesn't matter on paper but trust me ride both the bike practically in different scenarios, you will feel the difference (specially in long distance touring)
If I talk about pricing, yes it is overpriced if you compare the actual worth of the changes over Gixer. But this is brand strategize their products line up.
