Just piked up a brand new leftover 2025 650. I have owned a lot of different bikes in the last 50 years, dirt , street and all in between. I have always liked the v twin bikes and almost bought a suzi 650 way back when they first came out but life , kids ,ect came first. Then came the 05 Buell Lightning. Fast forward 20 years and a bunch more bikes , needed something new that didn't have to many bells and whistles and would work for a bit of 2 up riding. So here we are!

Both my partner and I have 800RE's, hers is 2yr old and has 19k on the clock, it's well looked after, we only use a pressure washer to apply snow foam etc but there is a distinct notch in the steering which would indicate the bearings have started to fail. The initial conversation with the salesman suggests Suzuki will not consider looking at it under warranty, the service manager is back in tomorrow, she'll have a discussion with him then. I've ordered tapered bearings to replace the... Steering head bearing failure

I have a 2025 Vstrom 650. I also have a 2022 Road Glide Limited. I bought the Vstrom to have a smaller second bike that could do a little of everything. It’s been great and I have 800 miles on it so far. Just got out of the break in period. In those 800 miles I’ve learned I would love to have cruise control, electronic suspension, more room for a passenger, no chain etc etc. The ST checks all those boxes and I found one for sale close to me and the guy let me test ride it. Pros... Just Test Rode a 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

As the title of the thread asks, who's running these tyres? I have the original ones on my 1050 and the rear needs replacing soon. Looking at the Anakee 2s, for the rear to start with. I've seen the Youtube "reviews" which are pretty much based on Michelin's PR with no long-term ride reports about them.

Was cleaning behind the front sprocket, while I needed to replace the push rod seal....then noticed traces of oil where the drive shaft meets the seal, on the inner ring. Is this normal?

This is a 2009 Wee. The self locking nut holding the front sprocket is well jammed. Bike is in neutral and i have a piece of lumber to stop the wheel from rolling. This is what I've tried so far impact driver using 140 pounds of pressure breaker bar, with steel extension wd40 with hammer taps; breaker bar propane torch (careful to not damage the chain) Anything else I can do to get this bolt off?

Hi guys, I need new ignition coils. Mine aren't broken currently but I do big tours (around 6000 km) and I want to have new one's with me because I still have the original parts with have seen about 70000 km now (K9 model). I looked for original Suzuki parts but they cost 130€ each. Now I thought about coils from Tourmax but I only find Tourmax IGN-310 which seems to be only for the front cylinder. The rear cylinder seems to have another one but I couldn't find one yet. According to the... New ignition coils

I just did the valve clearance job on my vstrom, had to replace a EX shim on the front cylinder, put everything back together anddd.. nope wouldn't start. Cranks over and everything, got her running for second before she died. Ran completely fine beforehand, so I backtracked to see if I might have forgotten...
