Kawasaki Versys 650 Owner's Manual FOREWORD Congratulations on your purchase of a new Kawasaki motorcycle. Your new mo- torcycle is the product of Kawasaki’s advanced engineering, exhaustive testing, and continuous striving for superior reliability, safety and performance. Please read this Owner’s Manual carefully before riding so that you will be thoroughly familiar with the proper operation of your motorcycle’s controls, its fea- tures, capabilities, and limitations. This manual offers many safe riding tips, but its purpose is not to provide instruction in all the techniques and skills required to ride a motorcycle safely. Kawasaki strongly recommends that all operators of this vehi- cle enroll in a motorcycle rider training program to attain awareness of the mental and physical requirements necessary for safe motorcycle operation. To ensure a long, trouble-free life for your motorcycle, give it the proper care and maintenance described in this manual. For those who would like more detailed in- formation on their Kawasaki Motorcycle, a Service Manual is available for purchase from any authorized Kawasaki motorcycle dealer. The Service Manual contains de- tailed disassembly and maintenance information. Those who plan to do their own work should, of course, be competent mechanics and possess the special tools described in the Service Manual. Keep this Owner’s Manual aboard your motorcycle at all times so that you can refer to it whenever you need information. Kawasaki Versys 650 Owner's Manual This manual should be considered a permanent part of the motorcycle and should remain with the motorcycle when it is sold. All rights reserved.

  • Bike Rent 2017
    BIKE RENT 2017 Hereafter the main motorcycles that we can offer our customers for hire. Most models hereunder are available in Milan and Rome, yet not all of them. Many can be hired in a dozen of other rental stations throughout Italy, beside Milan and Rome, and are liable to be collected and returned in different cities. Some other models are available in one or two Italian cities only, because supplied by rental companies with just one office. Please ask us for a specific offer sending an email to [email protected] with the following preferences: pick-up place, date and time – drop-off place, date and time – requested models (indicate at least 3 choices) and quantities – estimated mileage – any specific request. Important information: Italy On Motorbike is not the bike rental company. Bike rental is an additional service offered, advertised and promoted by us as as a complement to our tours but autonomously provided by licensed rental companies for which we are an external partner. Therefore this service will be governed by a separate contract between the traveler and the rental company directly, and Italy On Motorbike shall assume no liability for the transaction, cancellation and execution of the service. To hire a bike from one of our partners, the customer shall hold a valid driver’s license for the rented vehicle (usually old type A or new type A3) and be at least 21 years old (25 for some models). Travelers from non-Schengen countries are usually not allowed to tour in Italy with their national driver’s license and will therefore need to have an International Driver’s License issued by the local authorities – please check this out with the local Italian Consulate.

Starting with the outstanding performance of the V-Strom 650 ABS, the V-Strom 650XT has a new front fairing and adventure- ready spoke-style wheels, plus the complete accessory package from the V-Strom 650 ABS Adventure. The V-Strom’s 645cc V-Twin engine is universally praised for exceptional low-to-mid RPM performance and a surprising amount of peak power. Precise fueling from the proprietary Suzuki Secondary Throttle Valve-equipped EFI system delivers exceptional fuel economy. The fairing on V-Strom 650XT ABS has more adventurous styling with a new distinctive Dakar beak with integrated air ducts that lead air to the wind directing plates for improved cooling performance. To better match and expand the motorcycle’s mission, new aluminum reverse spoke wheels for better shock absorption and ride comfort are used. The XT's accessory package includes height-adjustable windscreen and an additional variable spoiler to let the rider further control air flow. The package also includes strong aluminum side cases that quickly disconnect from the bike and a rugged engine bar that can help you mount additional items like aftermarket driving lamps. Color Metallic Matte Fibroin Gray Pricing 2015 DL650XTA Base MSRP $10,399 . Anti-lock Brake System (ABS*) monitors brake lever input and wheel speed, and matches stopping power to available traction – a safety feature that provides the V-Strom 650XT ABS with outstanding braking performance. Dual front 310mm rotors and twin-piston calipers, plus a 260 mm single-disc rear brake rotor and single-piston caliper provide strong stopping power.
