I binned the standart Triumph lights as they were quite pathetic, very poor amount of light and a crappy beam. And you had to remember to switch them back on everytime you turned the bike off, very frustrating I can tell you. So I sold them on eBay and bought a pair of these Britalitez 10w work lights. They have a very wide spread of light and are nice & bright - but not too bright. I have them wired to an ignition live (and a switch) so they are on all the time. Very happy with the quality for the price. Link to the eBay item -

V-Strom specific discussion / Re: DL1000 AL8 ABS INCIDENCE
« Last post by Banditbilbo on Today at 11:13:52 »
Hello.

After work done the saturday, on Sunday I tested the bike for about 300km. With several starts and stops.

No ABS fault appeared again.



I have yet to test the test connector of the ABS module, as the colleague in the previous message comments.

I don't know if disconnecting and cleaning all the ABS circuit connectors, sensors,  including the module connector, may have resolved anything.

Honestly, I have my doubts. There is a probability of ABS module "reset" when disconnect battery and ABS  module main connector???

It's the only option I can think of, apart from cleaning contacts.

Any news will be reported to you.

Thank you very much for your interest.

No, not a trendsetter, it was simple pricing economics. On this side of the pond, a new replacement shock would have cost almost half the bike's resale value.
Yes, the Vee shock is a lot firmer plus about 5mm longer than the 650 shock. The Vee has one extra spring coil.
At the moment, the shock's damping is set as per the Vee service manual, but the preload sag is set below the standard 2 mark, for now. Will re-adjust the preload if deemed necessary.
