2002 DL1000
« on: April 15, 2018, 19:58:29 »
Hello from Devon!
After years of riding mostly sports tourers and for the sake of my neck, back and wrists... I bought myself an old DL1000 K2.
It came fully fitted for touring although it doesn’t run too great in the lower rev range. As a newby to the strom I’d welcome any suggestions for improving my ride. It’s a lovely bike and great fun to ride!

Hello Bootpig and  :welcome:

Search for "chudder" and "share alike" then ask your questions (if you still have any) in that section.
