Hi all.

I'm a new member to the forum, riding a 250 baby Strom and various small block Guzzis.
45 years riding experience and same amateur mechanicing experience.
Time to downsize, slow down and smell the roses so the 250 is working out well for me.

There seems to be a lack of info on the 250, but I half expected that to be the case as it was never very popular in the UK, but if anyone can point me to a service and repair manual I would be very grateful.

Thanks to the host and mods for putiing up the forum.

Baby_Strom.

Hello and welcome. I can't answer your question but if you ask in the V-Strom specific discussion section you may have more vies and someone will have the answer. Enjoy your new bike. Sometimes smaller is better and more fun but don't ask a woman.  :roll:  :welcome2:

Thanks for all the replies and welcomes.
I will have more time over the weekend to do some searching and reading of the forum.

I'm loving some of your avatars and signatures.
