1000cc Suzuki V Strom/Kawasaki KLV Gear Change Enhancerhere`s the blurb on this bit of kit fella`s
THIS BIT OF KIT GREATLY IMPROVES GEARCHANGE AND INCREASES SPROCKET AND CHAIN LIFE
"Absolutely brilliant product, would not have believed until tried."
It is not a commonly known problem but the rear wheel geometry on the 1000cc V Strom and the KLV is off centre by a dimension smaller than 2mm I.e. the rear wheel sprocket is not directly in line with the front sprocket but rather placed slightly `out` by a very small amount.
To correct this I have designed a spacer which fits in between the rear sprocket and the cush drive housing. This relines the rear sprocket with the front sprocket much more accurately.
By inserting my spacer you will find that your gear changes are a great deal smoother and your chain & sprocket life is extended.
This design was first tested on a 2008 V Strom 1000cc bike and the rider reported an instant improvement over the normal sometimes clunky gearchange. The images show the MK2 which does exactly the same job as the original but comes with a modification which fills in the open slots on the rear sprocket and `brands` the product with both the Cymarc logo and the `V` logo. The images show before, during and after fitting.
I OFFER AN UNCONDITIONAL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOUR GEARCHANGE IS NOT NOTICEABLY SMOOTHER
The item itself is made from high quality stainless steel (so it will never rust) and is laser profiled for a very high quality finish and finished by hand to give it a brushed apprearence and smooth edges. It fits on perfectly every time.
It is very easy to fit as follows:
1. Remove rear wheel
2. Remove rear sprocket from cush drive housing (it is held on by 5 `nyloc type` fasteners).
3. Position spacer over the stud fasteners
4. Relocate the rear sprocket on the cush drive housing ensuring the nylocs are replaced with direct replacement new ones and retorque to the correct setting as per the relevant service manual.
5. Put wheel back onto bike as per the relevant service manual.
6. Enjoy gear change improvement!

Hi All
I am the bloke who has been doing Marks testing for him and just to give it some provinance , I have some Rider qualifications as well as mechanical expertise.
I am an I.A.M trainer,Bike safe trainer,ROSPA (GOLD), Police Advanced class 1 on road and off road, Some city and guilds quals in construction and use as well as prohibition. I have over 20 years of riding experience on a vast array of machines from off road 125 up to Kawasaki 1400. I cover about 20k a year on a bike doing a huge mixture of rural and motorway and sometimes usually once per year somewhere on the continent.
I have tried both sets of the Rad and oil covers covering two weeks of moderate to hard riding during our last heat wave and did not have any issue with overheating. I stuck in town for an hour on one of the days just to try and get it to overheat but once the fan kicked in it was fine. I am not using the covers with the bigger holes but haven't had a problem with either though if you feel there is an issue then go for the larger holes.
Not only do they offer fantastic protection that will never rust but they look great and really make your machine stand out.
I have also tried the spacer after carrying out some research which I will share for the benefit of the forum. 20 Year Suzuki DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER AS A CHAIN (TYPE DEPENDENT IE STANDARD, O RING) with rigorous maintenance should last between 20-40k and at that time you should also change your sprockets ( sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs ). Suzuki class this as FAIR wear and Tear therefore never bothered to try and rectify or fleet recall the machines. I personally had never noticed a problem and as this is the 3rd Suzuki I have owned, I assumed that it was a characteristic.
However once the spacer was fitted you could have knocked me off the bike with a feather,I could not believe the difference, no more clunk ,even when you engage first gear on idle there is barely a sound. All changes much smother. Tried it on Motorway, rural roads and a little bit of off road (only about 10 miles ) also tried gear changes with and with out clutch still sweet as a nut. This will have the added effect of extending my chain and sprocket life as well as rear Tyre and also make the bike even more economical to run ( albeit negligible ).
This shows a round holed rad cover and oil cooler cover - it also shows the v strom.co.uk logo which took me ages to do!
This is a good bit of kit, it allows you to position the topbox more towards the rear allowing the seat to be removed with the box on and a bit more room for the pillion
This shows the slotted version of the rad protector
Here is the chain guard........
Here is the OE oil cooler guard (its not nice.................)
and its replacement (which lasts much longer................)
Anyone interested please email my Lovely Shelly at
shelly@cymarc.co.uk when its gone its gone...............
But I`d make some more if you needed it
Hop a long Hooton
