Suzuki DL1000 VSTROM description
Have you wanted to ride The Alps and Europe, but didn't want to ship your bike over and renting was too expensive? Well, here's the solution: 2003 DL1000 with 89,714 miles (144,380 kms). I bought the bike in 2003 with 410 miles on it. Clean Virginia title and registration. The bike is stored with Stefan Knopf at his facility in Heidelberg. Fresh oil change when I put it to bed in July. Asking $3K. That number is between NADA Low and High values and is pretty firm. Details: Two complete sets of keys (Ignition & seat, Jesse, Givi). One is with the bike, one is with me. Farkles: OEM Center Stand OEM Heated Grips SW Motech Crash bars SW Motech Skid Plate SW Motech Footpegs SW Motech Handlebar Crossbar Jesse Odyssey I sidecases Givi 46 liter topcase Denali 2 LED lights SW Motech lightbar Hyperlites 3 Powerlet sockets - 2 on fairing upper and 1 below left butt cheek. Blue Sea fuse block w/ground. set up as a switched source. Cee Bailey vented windscreen 2 RAM balls on mirror mounts and one U-Bolt on handlebars. Issues: ******************************* The clutch slave cylinder leaks down - a known issue with VStroms. To this end I have a new cylinder assembly, new crush washers, DOT4 hydraulic fluid & the bits to bleed it in the tools pannier. The reason that I haven't done it (about a 15 minute job) is that after reading more about the problem, I want to get a new pushrod first, in case the old one is messed up and eats the new cylinder's seals. The part is readily available and costs about $13. ******************************** There is a weep somewhere in the coolant system that I can smell from time to time. It's not a huge leak (about 4 ounces of coolant every 10-15K miles), but it IS annoying. Since the tank has to be pulled to get to the majority of the clamps, and the hoses are original, I'd seriously consider replacing the hoses on spec were I to go to the trouble of pulling the tank. ******************************** The rubber weather seals on the Jesse sidecases need replacement. The last time I contacted them, the hit was $30 for the pair. A 5 minute job. ******************************** Facilities are available at Stefan's to do all this stuff, or you could farm it out to the local Suzuki shop. The front right turn signal mount is busted - the cup that the stalk mounts to. It broke in a fall coming back from the 2006 CF1K. Epoxy took care of it. 40 kms of bad road last year busted it loose again. I have the stuff to repair it (again), but forgot to bring it with me. ********************************* New battery September 2015 Tires (Anakee 3s) have about 6K miles on them and I'd put new shoes on before another long ride. Chain & Sprockets also have about 6K miles on them and are in good condition. (Both of the above were new when I shipped the bike in March of 2015.) ********************************** Misc stuff Battery negative terminal is disconnected for storage - 2 wires. One large system ground and one smaller ground going to the fuse block. Just a reminder as to why it won't light up when you turn the key on. ********************************** In left Pannier: OEM Tool Kit (complete) Tool bag with above kit plus some decent hand wrenches, hex keys, a small multimeter and some misc. bits. Also a 1/2" ratcheting breaker bar with socket and hex key for the rear & front axles. Factory Shop Manual in loose leaf binder - genuine product. Stop-n-Go plug kit with compressor in stuff sack. Gummy Worms in above tool bag. Chain lube 2 (count 'em) complete sets of brake pads. When I shipped the bike, I shipped all of the bits that went with it. Spare oil. I bought 4 bottles as an oil change takes 3 quarts plus a bit. But these are liter bottles, and 3 did it. Oil filter. And... the clutch bits mentioned above. *********************************** In right Pannier: Kilimanjaro jacket & liner (2XL). Used to be Hi-Viz yellow. Not really either now. Instant cred in LD circles, though. Size 44 low (over the ankle) boots that still keep water out (or in) *********************************** In top case: Shoei Multitech helmet (L) with spare visor and mount for Contour video camera.. Wolfman "Blackhawk" tank bag. Cable lock with combination Hi-Viz vest & first aid kit (Euro required) Spot lenses for Denali 2s. A couple of microfiber cloths. And a bungee net. |
