I think in my case it were the tires...not quite sure though...

Yes.

Thanks! As far as the Traction control on the VStrom....not really necessary with less than 80hp in my opinion. I would save the money and use it for traveling instead.

Much more refined engine compared to the 1150....but the brakes aren't as good. I don't find the Varadero more top heavy then the Varadero. The Varadero engine comes alive above 3500rpm.

True!

Thanks for tuning in!

As far as I know, the issues with the cam chain tensioners is only on the SD01. Mine is relatively smooth from 2500rpm upwards, depending on the gear. If yours is surging at low rpm, maybe check if the carbs are synced correctly. Had the same issue on my EFI 990 ADV and 1150GS.

@@StromerTH-cam Did the best I could with my bike, just carbies and a lumpy V twin I guess. Still a great bike regardless for its size and weight very athletic.

Yea, a kinda underrated bike today!

Thanks for tuning in!

Yep, I already though about dropping a tooth on the front sprocket.

@@StromerTH-cam Yes. - 1 on the front +2 on the rear sprocket.

Yep, it was definitely fun to ride there. Basically zero traffic almost everywhere.

Yea, the Fazer is quite a bit underrated today.

Thanks for watching!

Yea, the Varadero is somewhat underrated today....or maybe also a bit misunderstood?

Thanks!

indeed!

mine was pretty "dead" with 53.000km...would have had to invest almost 2000€ in that thing. Clutch, transmission, throttle bodies, Kardan, etc...wasn't worth it for me.

...aber ein superzuverlässiges DIng!

die Scheibe ist original von Honda😁

@@-ride- hoffentlich...hab genug andere "Patienten"...

Yep, it's a couch!😅

Jo, aber wenn's amoi rollt ka Problem mehr. Schieben is a bisserl Zach.🤣

Thanks!

@@StromerTH-cam Just bought myself a 1150 GSA, thanks for your insights / HQ footage. :-) Cant wait to get it permitted!

Yeah, I'm a poser🥳

Those bikes are really reliable. I think as a first bike one of those would be great! Fuel consumption is 3.3-4.5l/100km. The older engines with single spark need a little bit more fuel than the new ones with two spark. (from ~2004 upwards)

@@StromerTH-cam how about maintenance costs ?

@@johnel4005 Usually low, but the oil system is a dry sump, so the oil change takes a bit more time than on a wet sump system. Other than that, not much to do on these bikes. Oh, valve check is every 10k km.

Awesome!

Nice!👍

Congrats!👍

A Giannelli SlipOn.

😁

A Giannelli Exhaust. Identical to the Arrow.

Yep, it's better for the transmission. The gears go in smoother.

I had a Storm Slip-on on the bike. It's a cheaper sub brand from Mivv. No De-CAT tough.

Remus revolution sounds good

That's true! No more power needed for public roads.

True!

Thanks for watching!

I've done the same as you, 1 month of ownership now, the bike just rips above 7k rpm!

9k!? That's a 700cc single dude!

I would say 16.000, just to be sure...

Meine VStrom war leider ein ziemliches Montags Modell...div. Mängel bei weniger als 20.000km Laufleistung. Höherer Ölverbrauch als eine R1150GS inklusive....

Könnte es an mangelnder Wartung (überzogene/sehr weit ausgedehnte Ölwechselintervalle) oder Mishandlung durch den Vorbesitzer (nicht richrig warmfahren etc.) verursacht worden sein oder was ist deine Theorie zur Herkunft des erhöhten Ölverbrauches? Gab es noch andere Beanstandungen hinsichtlich Verschleiß und Zuverlässigkeit? Danke schonmal vorab für deine Antwort! Viele Grüße aus dem Schwarzwald @@StromerTH-cam

@@latenightleiferiksson Ich habe bis heute keine Erklärung dafür... gekauft hab ich die VStrom mit Grade Mal 10.000km auf der Uhr. Das Ding stand da wie frisch aus dem Werk!

@@StromerTH-cam Bei der v-strom ist die Ölstandskontrolle etwas tricky (siehe Handbuch). Wird da ein Fehler gemacht, nimmt das Drama seinen Lauf....

@@VS-Nutzer hab ich damals alles beachtet...das Teil zog sich trotzdem etwa 0.5l/1000km rein(bei flotter Fahrweise)

hier: motosvet.cz/testy/894-tct.html ...mit Hausverstand nachfahren und bei Wanderern/Radfahrern schön langsam vorbei und einfach freundlich Grüßen, dann gibts idr keine Probleme. Teils sind das nämlich Radwege und Wanderwege. 😁

No, not even close! You can still shift manually if you want. There's just no clutch lever, that's all.

Nice!

Thanks 👍

🙃

No, it was already without the restriction when I recorded this.

@@StromerTH-cam how was it restricted, had enough power? Looking to upgrade

It was a throttle body limiter.(Little bracket that limits your throttle opening) Uphill it was quite a pain sometimes tbh.

Thanks!

I had it on ~75% Preload and ran CTA3 tires back then.

The microphone was more or less directly above the gearbox...so it sounds worse than it actually was.

@@StromerTH-cam спасибо, я не знал об этом. Хороших вам путешествий )

Thanks!😊

Up to 100kmh it's not that bad. After that, not much left with 50HP.

@@StromerTH-cam Thank you, I was given a BMW F 650 GS, built in 2003, 50 hp and 37 kw. I'm really looking forward to driving.

Hello, it's me again, I'm a little worried about my motorcycle BMW F650 GS. You can check the oil level at the front of the glass (if you look at the motorcycle from the front then the right side) and you can't see any oil in my glass. Is it because the motorcycle is cold? Where is the oil level when the motorcycle is cold? Kind regards, Leo

@@leonhard1911 Hi! Yea, you can only check the oil level on a hot engine with that bike! Over time some oil from the oiltank will drain down into the "oilpan". Since the glass is sometimes kinda hard to see through, just open the filler cap when you check the oil level.

@@StromerTH-cam thank you so match

Eigentlich sehr zufrieden. Konnte das Teil jetzt mal für 3 Tage durch Serbien bewegen und hab als größte Schwachstelle für mich tatsächlich das Federbein gefunden...bei meinem Gewicht (75kg) ist die High Speed Druckstufendämpfung quasi inexistent. Dh. ist der Koffer auf schlechten Straßen extrem unbequem. Der Verbrauch war allerdings extrem gut! 3,6-4l/100km.

yea, a real tractor!

It's the 621 in the south of Slovenia near Logatec.
