exhausts are a thing of beauty when done right.
put them on the low side of the bike when you've done it wrong.

Bike with Less Character
- Thread starter sburns
- Start date
Yeah busy working and riding.
In May was in West Virginia for a meetup. Two weeks later in North Carolina for a meetup. Was somewhere on the Canada Day long weekend. (Camping with a friend I think that weekend.). Civic weekend in New York State for an extended (pretended?) Meet up and right now rode down to to Atlanta (very hot down here. 38c at.one point.). I'm home next week and then riding to Calgary for my Daughter's wedding which in in the Labour Day weekend. I might end up with more mileage in 2024 than the 60,090 km I rode in 2022.
Stroms are great bikes for riding!

My dash is a little different than yours. I have a factory accessory bar above my speedo.I found my sticker. Yup says 87 octane
Surprisingly the stickers on this bike are very helpful. Sticker at the back for tire pressure.
Hey @oioioi since you seem to have all the upgrades covered, do you have anything for GPS mount?
I'd like something just above the dash.
The ball mount at the end of the bolt that secures the accessory bar is not stock. I replaced the factory bolt with the ball mount. I wanted the GPS and its mounting arm to be as little as possible.
I am thinking of replacing the phone mount and possibly GPS with a 5 inch (or ideally 7 inch) Android Auto screen from AliE as mentioned on another thread.
@sburns
Which model did you end up getting?
Did it come with any "features" i.e. heated grips, cruise control, riding modes?
I see no centre stand in the first picture.
However here is my set up.
I do recommend adding a high output USB 3.0 Charger on the opposite side of the stock one.
The factory one has only one port and is the "standard/slow" type. The one I installed also displays the battery voltage as a bonus. My speedo/dash also have battery voltage reading from factory.

As expected, manual and sticker have the same info.Now I will have to look at the sticker on the tank. I didn't know there was one
As far as I know we don't have 90 in Canada (or at least Ontario) so 91 it is.
Having said that I think some guys on the Vstrom Forum are running regular on their 1000s and are not reporting any issues.
With modern engine management computers, they normally just pull timing if lower octane fuel is used. You lose a few hp but don't hurt anything. Some manufacturers use premium to get higher hp numbers for marketing but only require regular. Tiny text lets you know that regular is safe but may affect performance.
Is that on switched power?
