wELL, THE v-Strom was designed to compete with the BMW R1150GS, so they had to build in some self destruction features. Gino

Why not find a nice used Transalp? 48/54 mpg or a little better with a 16 tooth sprocket. Ed Windsor

I love my wife's transalp. The motor is excellent. It's no liter bike and certainly is no competition for a bike with 90HP that weighs 25lb more.... -Jim Duluth

If it is a success, the best thing about the V-Strom is that it might convince Honda and Yamaha to bring over their Euro Trailies. Ralph

I don't know quite what makes Suzuki think that this is a sport enduro tourer. Sport, yes. Tourer, yes. Enduro, shit no! 14. NKLR - Suzuki V-Strom to the US From: jett@...

To the person that stripped out a threaded hole in his cylinder head with his torque wrench, I would suggest that you get a "beam type" torque wrench, rather that the "clicker type" you surely must have been using.The Clicker type gives you no warning about when it will click, and you have no idea where you are as far as the torque goes.With a beam type, you always know at what torque you are at.Then when you get close to your torque setting, you can slow down and take it easy as you carefully approach, and then reach, the desired setting.You won't go over the desired setting, unless you are paying no attention.The "dial-type" torque wrench has the same good points as the beam type, but are a little bit more difficult to use, as you must first set the dial, and then pull the wrench to reach zero.These type are also very expensive, unlike the beam and clicker type.You also want to use a torque wrench of the correct torque span-in other words, you don't use a torque wrench for a fastener if the desired setting is at either end of the span(for instance zero to 100 foot pounds)of the torque wrench.You wouldn't use a 0-100 ft/lbs wrench. if the desired setting is 90 ft/lbs, as it is too close to the highest setting.You would want a wrench of,say,50-150 ft/lbs. I hope this makes sense. Jon Neet
