I bought a 2008 DL1000 Vstrom new and it was a great bike. I sold it in 2011 and had to take it back for an electrical problem recall once but it never gave any problems at all. I loved the whine of the timing gears setup...no timing chain. Stromrider...I have nearly a case of the popular Wix oil filters for the Vstroms...I think the 650 and the 10000 might use the same filter Wix # 51359. If interested pm me and I'll give you a good deal on them. Thanks
