Suzuki V-Strom 650_Vstrom upgrades: The BEST mods and accessories for your bike

[@timothyangus954]

I have similar mods to my 2013 model. The screen and mirror mods are a must and can confirm they work. I have ridden it around the world, it now has 71,000 miles on it and it still runs great.

[@AdvExOz]

Thank you. The Vstrom just goes and goes. Glad to know that my selection works. Ride safe!

[@jimbojones2457]

Loved your video mate! I just bought a brand new 2024 model so i'll be definitely getting the windscreen and the Quadlock. Thanks for sharing!

[@AdvExOz]

Thank you. I am glad that you found the video helpful 😊. All the best with your new machine. Take Care

[@ChuanMOTOVLOG]

It's a great add on for rider ergonomics , very underrated bike , been using my v strom for 7 years , it's a joyful ride for me , tailored to my physic and it's a blast

[@AdvExOz]

Thanks Chuan.. definately under rated bike..

[@dleebox2268]

Underated? Idk about that, this 650 xt is a well loved bike

[@GJS-live]

Thanks for this! I just got the Shad 23 panniers today and will try and install tomorrow! Also got the headlight grill to fit. I agree the headlight is ugly. Cheers from Scotland.

[@AdvExOz]

That's excellent. Glad the video helped

[@1001CP]

Great job setting up your bike the way you like it! I have my 14 Vee and set it up over the years to do more off road and it is amazing. Your looks great my friend!! Stay safe in all your travels my friend!

[@AdvExOz]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I am hoping to do some off roading in the future, will have to invest in a skid plate and some better tyres. Hoping to upload more videos Thank you once again, stay safe!

I love your videos. I just got the exact same vstrom in yellow

[@AdvExOz]

Thank you 🙏🏻 . How are you liking the vstorm?

[@worldtravelerforlife]

@@AdvExOz I love it. I took it on an overnight trip last weekend and had a great time. the bike is comfortable and rides really smooth. mine is a 2018 that I bought with 5,000 miles on it.

[@brianlennan7237]

Sorted the issue. Removed the nut/bolt thing that the original mirror threaded into. This gave me a right hand thread to suit the new oxford mirror. Cheers

[@daz1639]

Hey up matey, fantastic information I'm in the uk and deciding what bike to get after my MOD 2 , and I'm defo getting a vstrom , but love the aftermarket gear you got especially the screen and charger on phone clamp, cheers pal 👍 ride safe ride long

Awesome vid - will test the mirrors out and down the track the seat and exhaust would be nice...

[@AdvExOz]

I am really happy with the exhaust. The MJM seat is also really really comfy. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@AdvExOz]

Hi There, Unfortunately, these seats are custom made, You will have to contact MJM seats directly and work out your requirements. goo.gl/maps/PoPVLwuZETmWSdDw7

[@cautilligab]

you are super smart with your money my friend, starting with the motorcycle model. you spend where you had to and saved where you could. bravo! One question. I read that when installing heated grips you should switch to led bulbs to compensate for the power consumption. cheers my friend

[@brianlennan7237]

Hi. Still Investigating. The kit I've been sent is 10mm RH thread . I think the bike may be L H thread. I need to get a second opinion. I'll let you know when its resolved.

[@brianlennan7237]

Hi Have been to some bolt shops. The original mirror is 10mm with a left hand thread. The bolt supplied with the oxford mirror is a 10 mm with a right hand thread. Easy R want to sell me adapters at $18 per mirror. I was wondering if you removed the threaded section that the original mirror screwed into.(As well as the original mirror) Cheers

[@AdvExOz]

Hi Mine just went in as is. Didn't have to make any changes whatsoever. I am really surprised how your case if so different. Wondering if oxford have made some changes?

[@borilapostolov7474]

Really nice and useful add-ons. Please tell us more about the handlebar risers. Are they pull back and what dimensions/manufacturer.

[@AdvExOz]

Hi, it brings the handlebar forward towards the rider, rising it by about 1.5 inches. It makes a lot of difference. Thanks for watching.

[@jrflorenanoutpl]

About the Radiator Guard. I was wondering if there is more heat from the radiator due to the installation of it. I understand the Radiator Guard is to protect the radiator, but I am worried that the bike heats up without it, I can't imagine with it installed. Hope you can read and comment.

[@AdvExOz]

Hi Jorge, the radiator guard has good ventilation and there is also a small gap between the guard and radiator which possibly helps more with heat dispersion. I have have the Vstorm since 2020 and have done over 15000 km on it, engine has never heated up and my temperature is always constant between 2 bars and 3 bars. So in short, it does not cause any overheating issues. If you found this video helpful, please do share it with other. Do consider subscribing to the channel as well :)

[@AdvExOz]

Thanks 🙏🏻👍🏻 I did add a tiny bit of clear silicone to the edge and that fixed the issue. Glad you found the video helpful ☺️

@@brunosequeira8790 you can just scrape it off.. if you do it well, you won't even realise it's there.

[@manyazid_travel]

you need to install Givi Sr3112 top box support.

[@AdvExOz]

Not really, it depends on how much weight you plan to carry.. general around 10kg is max I carrru because my top box is not all that big.

[@kuzan1337]

Do you need to drill in the bolts when mounting the headlight cover? Or were there some holes already there?

[@AdvExOz]

Hey, you can if you wanted too but I didn't. There is no holes pre drilled.

[@tomekpaz2955]

do you ride with a passenger ?? sh23 cases are sharp and protrude forward. can a short passenger keep his legs comfortable?

[@AdvExOz]

Hi Tomek. Yes the passenger can definately sit confertably. No issues with short individuals at all. I prefer the sh23 because the size is just right for what I need. Thank you for subscribing to the channel.

Hi I've bought the oxford trapezium mirrors. They dont seem to be the right thread. Did you use adapters. Dont suppose you remember which one. Cheers

[@AdvExOz]

Hi Didn't need any adapters on mine. Just worked fine as is. I'm curious as to how it's different.

[@christophebaboulin4869]

Thank you for jour vidéo... From France I enjoyed your mods... Just a question :how do you clean you givi glass ?

[@AdvExOz]

Thank you Christopher. I just use Windex ( window cleaner) to clean the guvi glass on my travels. Works a charm.. When I was time bike, I just use whatever soap, and then wipe it down with a soft cloth.

"Loud exhaust save lives". I don't know. But I do know 2 things: 1) loud exhausts are an absolute nuisance for everyone but the guy sitting on the bike; 2) defensive driving saves lives.

[@AdvExOz]

Well said! It seems like loud exhausts are the motorcycle equivalent of a toddler throwing a tantrum-everyone notices, but only the toddler seems to enjoy it!

[@brianlennan7237]

Hi Year me to. I've got a mate who may give me a solution. Anyway thanks very much for your input. Happy riding .

How is the seat going? Still happy with it? I’m thinking of having mine done by them and any advice is welcome. Thanks

Hi Mark, no complaints about the seat. I find it really good and comfy. If I ever get a new bike, I am definitely getting an MJM seat!

The seat looks great. Are you still happy with it? Thinking of getting one myself for my 2021 650xt
