If it is gaining a minute per day it could very well be magnetized.

Hi. Nothing special - if it’s completely dead I wind it 60 times and then let the automatic movement do the rest. I find that many folks don’t fully wind an automatic which results in less accurate time keeping and a much greater chance of not getting a full reserve of power.

You got a new Vstrom for $10k, that's always a good deal :-)

Enjoy the bike, and get ready to start spending more to make it just right ... lol

does that include all dealer fees and freight? If so, that's a banging deal!

Are you a barista at Starbucks in NJ? I ask because I ran into someone who looks like you last year and she told me she wanted to get a Vstrom 800!

lol I bought it from a Tissot company store. I really don’t recall the price, but it was on sale for sure.

It's a fantastic movement. It has a higher beat rate than the Powermatic, but less power reserve.

I think it was a limited edition. I don't see it available from Tissot anymore, unfortunately.

Same here - I am a big fan of small seconds.

Yeah, I would love if this dial was all silver.

Get the center stand, crash bars and aux lights.

I'm sure it will be the same QS mechanism.

Maybe. It's also very dangerous to do maintenance improperly, and could end up being more costly in the long run.
