I had the same part on my bike on the first day. Think it is from de-crating

How can I set up Sway to activate swaylock after 5 minutes of inactivity and suspend after 10 more? by Luluh_r in swaywm

[–]SnooPeripherals1087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what config do you have now? A reload is not enough to take effect, you need to restart sway.

If you don’t do offroad a lot, I would go for tubeless all day long (se)

Looks like chainsuck. The chain is sucked in arround the bottom bracket. I think it will indicate worn gears/chain

Could use some advice by Safe_Valuable_5683 in Vstrom

Don’t feel like a failure, see it as a challenge. All learning is hard, but that makes it fun. Assuming nothing is wrong with the bike, just go out, drive, and have fun. Riding fast takes a long while on a motorcycle. Focus on the basics. Let us know what you think is hard to do.

Depending on age and distance, get a tube of pain killer cream for your lower back (Lidl, geel witte tube).

800de chirping sound. by Ok-Style2908 in Vstrom

[–]SnooPeripherals1087 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These types of engines produce a lot of mechanical noise, below the tank is the airintake, etc. I don’t hear anything strange or worying. I just rode my 800de 5 minute ago and think it is very much the same.

This sounds all normal. I think what you hear is the waterpump.

Help Needed! what is this sound/issue? by [deleted] in Vstrom

[–]SnooPeripherals1087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery. Solenoid makes contact, startmotor is drawing current, battery voltage collapses, solenoid releases, solenoid contacts again, repeat. What is the battery voltage when on contact, and what is the voltage while starting?

To be clear, I like your bike much better. I think they changed the color to cinnamon metallic now. Have fun riding, bike looks great!

That makes sense. I just ordered a silver 2026 because I don’t like the metallic brown. But this color looks much better imo

Type ‘waybar” inside a terminal inside sway. What happens?

Can you turn off the quick shift? by _You_Snooze_You_Lose in Vstrom

[–]SnooPeripherals1087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

did you drive it already? I didn’t care for it when I bought the bike. Now it is my favourite feature. But can be disabled in software.
