Complete Fork Upgrade Package with DDC – Suzuki DL650 V-Strom
 
So you took your V-Strom 650 off the pavement and quickly realized that stock suspension feels more like a pogo stick than a precision adventure machine? Time to ditch the dive, tame the terrain, and transform your ride with this Complete Fork Upgrade Package!
 
The included 0.80 Kg/mm straight-rate fork springs are a huge improvement over the stock mushy progressive springs that dive under braking and struggle off-road. Designed for adventure-ready performance, these springs provide consistent support and better control, making them ideal for riders weighing between 150 to 270 lbs in gear.
 
Why Your DL650 Vstrom Needs This Kit:
 
✅ Dirt-Worthy Damping – Cogent’s Drop-In Damper Cartridges (DDCs) give you a massive improvement in front-end control, soaking up bumps, ruts, and washboard roads like a pro. No more bottoming out on that sneaky pothole!
✅ Straight-Rate Fork Springs – Stock springs are too soft and too squishy, but these precision-engineered springs give you predictable, planted handling whether you're carving corners or bouncing over a rocky trail.
✅ Premium Fork Oil Included – Because your suspension deserves the good stuff.
✅ Easy Installation – No fancy tools, no messing with shim stacks, no suspension PhD required. Drop them in and ride—simple as that.
 
If you want to make your Vstrom to handle like the adventure bike it was meant to be, this fork Upgrade package is the #1 mod to start with. Whether you're hitting the twisties, logging highway miles, or venturing into the dirt, this kit will keep you in control and riding smoother than ever.
