Hi
« on: September 08, 2018, 21:17:55 »
Hi,
New here. Picked up my 2005 DL1000 K6 last Thursday. 32k miles, looks nice and clean.
Minor issues- ignition switch a bit reluctant and RHS fork seal a bit weepy.
Apart from that it would appear to be the best bike I've ridden in the last 42 years.
Pleasantly surprised!

 :welcome: For the weeping fork seal, read https://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=34996.msg351256#msg351256. For the ignition, use the search function on  https://www.vstrom.info/Smf/index.php. There is a good post with a few pix, that shows the servicing of the ignition switch. Unfortunately the VSRI site appears to be down at the moment, so I can't post a link for you.. Start a new thread on https://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?board=58.0 to let us know of your findings / progress.
