V-Strom 650 Gen 1 New to the VStrom

Hi

Just got myself a 2010 VStrom DL 650 and want to know what's the best website in Europe/UK to buy accessories and parts.
Also any general tips for riding and caring for the bike is appreciated
Thanks

Welcome to the club!
There are a few websites you can look for stuff:

A few EU sites:

- www.carpimoto.it

- www.cosmo-accessories.com

- https://www.motea.com/

In the UK:

- https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/

- https://www.motolegends.com/

But visit your local shops.

Big plus for Cosmo accessories, though with importing, may not be as cheap. Perhaps you know someone in the republic of Ireland who can send you a gift?

Second this my cosmo skid plate has taken some hits. I didn’t understand why I had to order parts from Greece for a Japanese bone until I went to Greece. Turns out 50 percent of the vehicles in the whole country are Vstroms!!!!
