Ok..dont laugh! My 2008 DL1000 has about 543 miles on it. I have noticed (today) that the brakes, when coming to a full stop are now sounding like a Ford...
You probably have some dirt/dust in them. You can either spray them out with Brake Cleaner, or hose them out with water and go for a ride and see if it's gone....
Your dealer should be able to fix this very quickly - assuming they have a mechanic worthy of the name. Brake squeal does not come from pad-rotor contact. It...

Not laughing at all, this is very serious. You are oppressing your your motorcycle, and it is becoming demoralized. You are derailing the development of...
... <snip> Thats too funny. I do love this bike, but wish it didnt have the dam 2800RPM burp/fart issue. That so far is its only flaw. My Ninja is so much...
At 7000 miles, I love the 07 DL 1000 I have. It's been smooth and reliable in all types of use, open highway, going about town, and sandy two tracks, like I...
Yeah 2800 is pretty low for this engine, it would rather be at 3500 or above, it's a v-twin but it ain't a Harley. My son went from a cruiser to a Strom, he...
... My '03 DL1000 does *not* like running at that low an rpm. Happiest at 3400+. It's got nearly 69,000 miles on it, so longevity is not affected. bj...

Another thing worth mentioning is that the ignition timing is retarded in the first 4 gears. You probably noticed that the bike runs better in 5th and 6th....
try to remember that this motor was originally developed to run against ducatis in WSB and that the TL1000 and TL1000R motors(the bikes for which the motor...

You know Willy, the SV1000 engine makes more torque and horsepower everywhere compared to the DL. It also has no clutch or mapping issues. I could never...
me either. it' s intersting that the flat track racing effort involved a DL: motor with AÂ SV slipper clutch. aparently, on the dirt, less horsepower is...
I was riding a Strom with an SV slipper clutch a few weeks ago and it definitely seemed smoother at low rpm's than the stock one. LB ... with A SV slipper...
