2017 County Durham

[SW73]

Hi folks. Really enjoying 2017 VStrom ownership. I bought a 60 k mile 2017 to tour Morocco and had a great time. A lot of bike for the money. Love the comfort, handling and luggage etc. bike was faultless over 5 k miles...bar a collapsed hub carrier bearing which took out a few bits. Limped home through Spain but looking for a new axle/spacers/hub carrier etc. Can anyone help me with what years parts will fit the 2017 model I have, I.e. will earlier years fit? Looking forward to doing some touring and updating on here with my experience. Really enjoying my first Suzuki experience. great bike I'd never considered til I needed something cheap at short notice 👍 Simon

Sounds like a good trip despite the hub issue. You might be best posting the query in the V-Strom specific discussion area as not everyone reads the introductions.

Thank you. I'll do that and hopefully get some experienced advice around the model changes. I've been a triumph bloke for years so Suzuki all a mystery for now. 👍

Hello and 

[SW73]

Thanks for the welcome. All appreciated 👍. Morocco was fabulous...as was the bike! I think putting a few quid into it will give me a decent tourer for very little. Hopefully it warms up a bit soon and I feel more like popping into the garage! It's the frozen North again today🥶
