Thank you DOC. I have watched some of your videos off and on for some time but, never had a Vstrom. I recently acquired a very nice '07 with 23,000 miles/37,000 kilometers and so far have replaced the chain and sprockets. Now I'm digging in and changing coolant, air filter and spark plugs. I have a Climer manual that I purchased right away for reference. Usingthe it requires a lot of skipping around through the manual that I will hopefully become acustomed to using. Your videos have always impressed me and now I have the opportunity to put your procedures into practice. Thank you again from the beatiful Ozark mountains of southern Missouri, USA.

Dr Vstrom Thank you for this nice work, its great that you took this time to document the process in such a clear manner. Your English is also very good indeed well done and keep the good work up. To help you here is the meaning of "Prop" which in this context means a support. Prop has many meanings in English... PROP To support, or prevent from falling, by placing something under or against; as, to prop up a fence or an old building; to sustain; to maintain; as, to prop a declining state.

The method for popping the plastic fasteners with an Allen key was handy as I have to do my floor lining on my Suzuki Wagon. Some of the fasteners are probably similar. P.S have you got or heard of a lizard cam? It's a very useful device with a camera on a twisting tube.

2 of the tasks involving the removal of the big plastics from either side of the fuel tank are: "Spark plug section 2-6" and "Cooling system 2-18" of the Complete Suzuki manual that is not provided with the bike and you have to buy. These plastics are referred to as Left and Right cowling inside that manual and are described on section "Chassis 7-7".

i remove my tank slightly differently, not the proper way like you. i undo the bolts as you do, then hold the fairings open by string or wire wrapped to the grips. this only holds the plastic fairings open about 2 inches maximum, but leaves loads of room to get the tank off. saves alot of time not pulling and replacing all the panels
