Greetings
« on: January 01, 2025, 01:04:43 »

I've been enjoying a 2020 dl 650a I bought last summer and hanging out on Stromtrooper getting to know the bike and fellow riders.
 
I found this place while searching for solutions to a loose, or 'wobbly' clutch handle and came across a post and link kindly shared by Gert to this forum which provided a solution.

I'm from Colorado and do mainly highway riding, which the Vstrom has handled quite well.   I worked in England for awhile many years ago, and was taken in by a lovely couple who familiarized me in the ways of Brit-speak, food, drink, and how to get around in(on?) the Tube.  They even made me an honorary Brit(don't know of those things expire). :)

I recognise a few familiar users I also see on Stromtrooper, and even one or two from my ST1300 days.

Anyway, don't know if I'll have anything to contribute, but looks like some good tech info and a friendly bunch.
Cheers

Hello and  :welcome2: 
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.
