Suzuki DL650 V-Strom
2004—

I have tried to tell the Suzuki DL 650 V-Strom model history on this page, as I know it. The page is still under construction. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

Based on the DL1000 V-Strom, Suzuki presented the mid-size adventure tourer, Suzuki DL650 V-Strom for 2004. Seat height is set at a low 32.5 inches (825mm) and the saddle blends into the ample 5.8-gallon (22.5 liter) fuel tank. As for the 2004 DL1000, the windshield can be adjusted in a 50mm vertical range, and can be angled differently as its raised or lowered. The DL650s compact instrument cluster includes: an analog speedometer and tachometer; digital LCD, odometer, tripmeter, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge; and LED neutral, turn signal and high beam indicator lights along with an oil pressure warning light. Suzuki says the Suzuki V-Strom 650 sport enduro tourer was ”built for fun, ready for the adventure.” Key Features: * SV650-based 645cc 90 degree V-twin, DOHC 8-valve, liquid-cooled engine with revised cam profile and 4% more crankshaft inertia for stronger low-to-mid-range power * Electronic fuel injection features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV) - maintains optimum air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response * Auto Fast Idling System (AFIS), automatically sets throttle valve opening during cold engine starts by monitoring coolant temperature * Digital ignition system provides optimum ignition timing with separate maps for each cylinder * Lightweight shim-under-bucket valve system operates 31mm intake and 25.5mm exhaust valves, plus valve timing with emphasis on low-rpm power * SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electro-chemical Material) plated cylinders minimize cylinder size and improve heat dissipation * Smooth shifting 6-speed transmission with cable operated clutch - final drive ratio lowered from SV650 for improved low rpm performance * High-efficiency liquid cooling system for optimum engine operating temperature - includes compact oil cooler * Plastic outer clutch cover and engine sprocket cover for reduced weight and noise * High-mounted stainless steel exhaust system with aluminum muffler tuned to enhance engine torque and low-to-midrange performance * PAIR - air injection system reduces CO and HC emissions - California model equipped with catalyst in exhaust to further reduce emissionsChassis Features * Slim and compact front fairing for maximum wind protection, plus large comfortable seat - fairing includes large multi-reflector 60/55W headlights * Compact step-motor speedometer and tachometer with LED illumination, plus LCD display for twin tripmeters, odometer temperature gauge, fuel gauge and digital clock * Height-adjustable windshield for maximum wind protection and comfort - can be manually adjusted to three positions in a 50mm vertical range * Large rear luggage rack with rubber-padded platform to help keep bags and luggage in place * Aluminum twin-spar frame and aluminum swingarm are lightweight, compact and rigid - bolt-on sub-frame simplifies maintenance * Preload-adjustable 43mm front fork for a comfortable ride under all riding conditions * Link-type rear suspension features a single shock absorber with adjustable rebound damping and a knob-operated hydraulic preload adjuster for easy adjustment * Dual front disc brakes with large 310mm rotors and twin-piston calipers, plus single-disc rear brake with 260mm rotor and single-piston caliper * Lightweight cast aluminum wheels - F: 2.50 x 19 with 110/80R-19 radial tire, R: 4.0 x 17 with 150/70R-17 rear tire * Large 5.8 gallon fuel tank for long-range operation
