Need a bit of help.
« on: March 14, 2014, 12:22:48 »
Living in France my new 2013 V-strom DL650 came with a French handbook and I need an English version. I'm working my way through it with my limited knowledge of the language but am a bit stuck on the 'computer dashboard controls.
Suzuki UK have none in stock at the moment so until I can get an English version can anyone advise on what does what.

Re-setting the clock for example.

Thanks.

I have it ready for when I cross over into mainland Europe. And will need it in two weeks time as well when BST starts. Where abouts in France are you?

We've got a whole lot of downloads for various Stroms. Go to the top of the page, on the blue bar look for the 'home page' and click it. Then click on 'Downloads'. I hope what you need is there...(not sure if an owners manual is included) You will need Winzip or something similar.

The simultaneous button push for the clock change can be somewhat iffy. Push the left button slightly before the right button and it will work every time. Just keep holding both buttons down until the display flashes.
