Disclaimer
First off let's get the ground rules set. I make no claims regarding mechanical know how. I am a shadetree mechanic and have learned how to do things on my own, with the help of service manuals. If you find something I say or do here questionable let me know (vstrom@mightyshep.com). Be considerate, I am not inclined to listen to how great a mechanic you are, or how my solutions suck. If you feel that way go somewhere else. For the rest of us, here you will find maintenance solutions for V-Stroms. I own an '06 DL1000, so the information will be geared towards the 1000.
