V-Strom specific discussion / Re: Suzuki V-Strom DL250 stiff gear shifting

So I went out when the weather finally turned decent and did this. Engine off and I was able to put the gear into 1st-neutral-2-3-4 and back down again by rocking the rear wheel back and forth. When in gear, I couldn't turn the wheel, was too stiff. I guess that would be normal?

Exhausts / Re: Can you fit earlier silencers to a 2024 1050?
« Last post by Phild on April 28, 2024, 21:20:57 »Stick with me on this one…….
I keep my bikes a long time. My previous bike, a CBF1000FAB, I had for ten years.
With the above in mind, this bike would probably be my last. Therefore, I thought sod it….. all I want to do is clean it and ride it. I took out a three year Suzuki service plan. 600 miles, 12, 24, 36 months and first MOT… £31 for 36 months, totalling £1116 for four services and one MOT. No price increases either. The services are done as per Suzuki servicing schedules. Paying individually the 600 mile one alone is £189. If I continue with Suzuki servicing then the warranty is extended year on year up to year 7.
My first annual service was due to be done on 2nd May. However, on the 18th April, a kind person pulled out in front of me (all on Dashcam) and my pride and joy is now written off.
Hopefully I’ll have sourced an exact replacement for it tomorrow. The last unregistered 2022 1050 XT in the country.🤞

Yes mate, I have heard a little bit about it, although I doubt I will carry on having dealer services for that long.
Out of interest about how much are 12 month and 24 month services, which I guess are minor and major?
