Great video . Went through everything very thoroughly. There is also a cheat method too, without removing all panels. Undo all the screws, like before, then remove both black panels on the sides and infront of the tank by the handlebars. Then use string to pull back the 2 painted side panels and tie it so they are held open. Now you can remove the tank
Hey NW Adventure Rider, I can't thank you enough for a great little instructional video. I was planning to pull the tank to change the air filter. Clearly I want to change the spark plug at the same time. It is not difficult job after watching your video, but there are many more fasteners to remove then I would have expected. Nicely done.
Thank you for the detailed description of the process. I'm brand-new to the Wee-Strom world, and I have to do this. I'm hoping I learned something here.
thanks this is great video now I'm replacing mine from a dent that my son put in it so an ebay tank=$375 and now switching the fuel fuel pump to the newly purchased ebay tank that is the same 07 blue that your bike is this helped a lot thanks and keep them coming.
FYI you can get the front cylinder plug out and the valve cover off without completely removing the radiator, you can GENTLY tie the radiator up out of the way with the hoses still on. Its a good way to find out if you need new hoses; if they're old and brittle they'll break and spill coolant everywhere. I've done this to change plugs and check valves, I think it would have to come all the way off if you had to adjust a valve though.
Great video and thank you for posting, I probably wouldn't have tackled this without your help. I got deployed 3 time and there is gas about 3 years old in my DL650 I need to remove.
I appreciate the video, gives me an idea of what Im getting into when it comes to a new V-Strom-to-me that I'm looking to pick up in the next little bit! Sure is more complicated to change an air filter than my old KLR, but I think it's worth the extra steps to step into the land of fuel injection! haha. Thanks again, and I appreciate you didn't do the 'quick tank removal' as seeing how it all comes apart is appreciated.
Holy fuck! You are my saviour. I was struggling to remove the plastic panels on my DL 1000. Didn't see the 2 Phillips in the front center piece. Thanks and greetings from Germany ✌🏼
thank god for people like you, the wire's under the tank, 8,02 mins, is that your for your back light, only i have bought a fuse box which plugs into that feed, so when the ignition is switched on so are my electrics for the sat nav, thank you.
Excellent video Thank you very much. I've been paying to have my air filter and plugs changed because I was scared to death of breaking something. I should be able to handle it myself now. Again, Thanx
great video. helped me get the tank off my dl1000. those little pressstuds were a pain until you showed me how to push in the centre and it releases. thanks
Very helpful video and thank you for posting it. I would have got hung up on those clips too. I recently bought a used DL650 that has 24000 miles and am getting ready to change the plugs and air filter. Since it is somewhat of a hassle I purchased NKG Iridium plugs that last 100K miles and a K&N air filter that requires cleaning every 50K. Hopefully the performance will be a bit better than the stock parts too :)
thanks for the video it was a great help. I would like to add on my 07 the is an emissions vent line next to the overflow. just a spring clamp but something to watch for.
You don't need to remove the fairings. Just remove the side black covers with the one screw and the two pins. Then remove the Allen screws from the sides of the fairing and then the long screw that holds the tank frond end the single screw rear. Unplug the wire connector the breath hose and the fuel line. Then push the fairing to the side and drug out the tank and it's done. Don't worry about the fairing it is elastic enough to do the job. Since 2005 i have my strom i do the same procedure and never had issues with the fairing. I don't want to be wiseass,i just want help from a complicate procedure. It is much easier and faster.
Thank you for the video. You can also do it without draining fuel and without removing painted side panels and the front lip. Just like the manual suggests.
Yep, that is what I did when I put new plugs on the bike last week. U did end up removing the plastic shroud as it was just easier that fighting with it.
Well, it was named Dirt Rider Magazine's 2013 Bike Of The Year. I think it would be a very good bike for the off-road rider. The only issue I could see would be the lack of bolt on "adventure" rear (such as panniers). The only other issue I could see would be how light it is. On the highway you will be getting blown around badly. I would not rule out the XR650L. Let me know if you have a chance to ride them and what you think.
Awesome video! I've got a DL1000, think the process is the same? I've got a fuel leak at start up and other threads I'm reading seem to indicate needing a new hose and clamps which should be under the fuel tank and air box. Thoughts?
The OEM part number for the line is 15810-06G01 (replaces 15810-06G00) and you can order it online for about $40. Dose it leek when running or sitting or both? Can you tell where it is leaking at all? You should head over to my Facebook page so I can send you links and photos.
Hey. Im planning to Spray paint my bike. Although its a DL1000, its basically the same so far according to your video in removing the tank. I need to strip all the plastics thou. Do you perhaps have a clip explaining that?
What do you think about the new ktm 500 exc? I am probably an 80 percent gravel/ off road rider, and 20 percent highway. Do you think this would be the bike for me?
Hi adventure rider, great vid thank you, gave me the confidence to fully service my klv 1000 myself. one question, when remounting the tank, I noticed the fuel line connector is sitting directly on the rear cylinder head, is this right ?? is yours the same?? thanks in advance and hello from Ireland!
@@NWAdventureRider on my 2005 dl650 I pulled my tank with half tank full of gas. There evidently is a check valve in the line that holds the fuel in the tank when the tank is removed.
After owning my Strom for a few years now, I'll go ahead and say it. You WILL break the clips. They're plastic, plastic drys out etc, it happens. Just go somewhere like Amazon and get a package of 20 or 30 8mm clips. Can you guys make a vid showing how to replace the spark plugs on the Strom?
how about using the bracket, once removed, to prop up the rear of the tank so that you can use both hands in removing all the connections.???...for the rest.... great job.....biker48,,,, v strom 07 italy
Hmm thanks. Makes sense. I couldn’t find anything online. So the o-rings are meant to stay inside the line itself I assume and hence why the line wont fit back on?
I’m a brand new rider with absolutely no previous experience working on bikes or anything like it and this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
As an owner of a DL 650 (2010), I found your video very useful. Thanks for uploading!
Thank you! Those push clips were getting me

Pretty darn good video, very detailed and to the point, no long speeches. Nice.
Thanks for a nice, clean explanation. I never would have found those screws inside the small front intakes.

Good vid. Those little clips had me stumped. I feel kinda silly now, but thanks for showing those close up!
Passen in den Tank auch 35 Streuselschnecken und 65 Bratwürste?
Nice video man. Exactly what I was looking for, and very thorough. Much appreciated

Great job! This will be very helpful when I change my air filter this weekend on my 06 dl650...
Good job sir! Thanks .. greatings from Belgium.
Excellent video Thank you very much. I've been paying to have my air filter and plugs changed because I was scared to death of breaking something. I should be able to handle it myself now. Again, Thanx
I agree, and to change the spark plugs or air filter you must do it. Heck, to change the front spark plug you also need to remove the radiator.
great video man, going to respray my bike this weekend so need to take the tank off and paint it, thanks for the help
great video. helped me get the tank off my dl1000. those little pressstuds were a pain until you showed me how to push in the centre and it releases. thanks
Good video, clear and straightforward. Thanks for posting!

Thanks a lot from France :) Nice video, very usefull !
Thanks, I didn't break anything on my vstrom taking the tank off!
Yep, that is what I did when I put new plugs on the bike last week. U did end up removing the plastic shroud as it was just easier that fighting with it.
Helped me out a bunch...thank you!

What do you think about the new ktm 500 exc? I am probably an 80 percent gravel/ off road rider, and 20 percent highway. Do you think this would be the bike for me?
Very helpful Thanks
Wery usefull Thanks!!
You could really benefit from having some T handled metric allen wrenches. Sure would speed things up for you.
Thanks.
Very nice. Can you show to me how change the position lights in front the Bike?
It will be a while before I can do a new video. I just bought a new house and the bike is in storage till I get the shop built.
Hi adventure rider, great vid thank you, gave me the confidence to fully service my klv 1000 myself. one question, when remounting the tank, I noticed the fuel line connector is sitting directly on the rear cylinder head, is this right ?? is yours the same??
thanks in advance and hello from Ireland!
Do you know if the fuel pump of v strom 2007 is the same than 2011?
I DL650 has been sitting in my garage for 2 months i bought a new battery and it still want start and suggestions?
I have the 1000 and I'm nit seeing how to remove the seat?
When you pull the fuel line off, is there any form of valve in there that stops the flow? or are you pouring out anything left in the tank?
+Scott Patton No valve, this is why it is important to empty it first.
@@NWAdventureRider on my 2005 dl650 I pulled my tank with half tank full of gas. There evidently is a check valve in the line that holds the fuel in the tank when the tank is removed.
I need to clean my carb how do you do that
Is there somewhere I can see how to remove fuel injectors from a 2004 DL650?
Thx. Great vid
thanks pal !
Thanks. Very helpful. let's do it!
After owning my Strom for a few years now, I'll go ahead and say it. You WILL break the clips. They're plastic, plastic drys out etc, it happens. Just go somewhere like Amazon and get a package of 20 or 30 8mm clips.
Can you guys make a vid showing how to replace the spark plugs on the Strom?
What I do it, use forceps to pinch the fuel line off, that way you don't need to empty tank.
thanks,🙋
how about using the bracket, once removed, to prop up the rear of the tank so that you can use both hands in removing all the connections.???...for the rest.... great job.....biker48,,,, v strom 07 italy
Thank you so much!
thanks dude
I had a bunch of o-rings come out on that pipe for the fuel line. and now I can't re-connect it after removing the tank. Any advice.
The o-rings should not have come out of the line. It sounds like they were dry and stuck to the tank fitting. You may need to replace the line.
Hmm thanks. Makes sense. I couldn’t find anything online. So the o-rings are meant to stay inside the line itself I assume and hence why the line wont fit back on?
@@nicklittle626 Yes, the black plastic part that snaps over the metal pipe has o-rings in it. I assume that's where they came from.
