How frequently? I just passed 60,000 miles on my '03 DL1000 and this has not been done yet. The bike still runs like a bandit and the fuel economy hasn't changed.

What kind of luggage you put on the bike ? Msko ? Lonerider ?

On recent model of vstrom the Motech trax rigid boxes are too high and too forward so the passengenge are not confortable at all, so think a more versatile and adjustable luggage are better. ?

Chain oiler
 
Had my Scott oiler on the DL 650 for about 9 years now.

The first chain and set of sprockets lastet nearly 53 000 km here in OZ, where it is sometimes hot and dusty.But the speed limit is 110 KMH.

Easy as anything and worthwhile, would't ride without one. Takes not only their oil, hydraulic fluid will do fine.

Highly recommended.
