Is there such a thing?
« on: November 13, 2022, 15:42:32 »
Had my 2017 Strom for a month now and it’s still a massive learning curve for me, but what I’m sure will help is a user manual, so as title says, is there such a thing as a hard copy? I didn’t get anything other than the log book with mine, I have a PDF user manual, but that’s no were near the same as the hard copy.
So any help would be appreciated
Cheers

There are online sites that will print a PDF into a hard copy. I have not used the service but I'm sure someone on here has.
Edit.....After a quick search of the site...

I don't know how you feel about Haynes manuals but they are available (I have mine) for the V-Strom.

There are some for sale on ebay, depends which model/year your bike is.

Thanks for the replies, I’ve tried uploading to the online printer as mentioned, but the PDF file that I have is password protected, even the one that’s available on this site is the same  :dl_smiley_banghead:

So I’m no further forward  :groan:

Are you sure, didn't think any on this site would be password locked?
Tel me the model year and I'll check.  :thumb:

@ user 650
Thanks, in the download section, it’s the second from bottom on the left side (V-Strom DL650AL7 Owners Manual) I’m not 100% sure if that’s the one for my bike, but it looks like it

See attached screenshot as to what the site says

Cheers

Also sent to Fat Rat to re upload.

Thanks to User650, I have just uploaded a user manual to an online printing service and I should have a user manual by Monday, cost was £12.89 for an A4  :thumb:
I will update once I receive it
