Hi all, I'm new to the V Strom and this forum. I bought a 2014 DL1000 V Strom with adventure pack a few weeks ago and so far loving it.
My previous bike was a much loved Honda VFR800FI which I owned for over 6 years, the longest I have ever kept a bike so it must have been good.
The main differences I'm finding with the V Strom is speed, not bothered getting old anyway, and a slight vibey feel to the bike when riding long distances. Don't get me wrong the VFR was not vibe free but I never got a numb hand during long runs. I recently rode none stop from Aviemore to my home in south Northumberland and my throttle hand didn't regain its feeling for a day!!.
I'm planning another 1K mile run this weekend to bonny Scotland, any idea's on how to deaden those vibes?
BTW I fitted some Grip Puppies tonight in preparation for the trip, anyone had positive experiences using these things?
