[Water Warrior 2]

All done as of today. 2 sprockets, new chain. Checked and adjusted the clutch push rod on the side of the case. All set for a summer of riding with a trouble free Suzuki. Thank goodness for pain killers as a 3 to 4 hour stint down on my knees or bending over is a killer. Would love a bike lift like a bike shop but it is done and I will recover. Old guys shouldn't have to fight so hard to R and R a rear wheel with all the assorted spacers and pieces that require 4 hands and 4 arms. Did a quick check of the rubber cushions in the rear hub and they are as tight as new. I must be a pretty smooth rider to accomplish that.
51750 kms(32,000 miles)and I've done the sprockets and chain for the 2nd time. Had a shop do the front sprocket as I haven't the big tools or expertise to install the master link without the special tool. Oh yeah. Somebody asked, it is a 32 mm socket for the front sprocket R and R.
Had a smart young man working on the bike. He had previously worked in a Suzuki shop and knew his way around a Vstrom very well. A very good learning experience for me as he was more than happy to share his knowledge and make my future trouble shooting and maintenance much easier. Not that I have a lot but there might come a time. Rain tomorrow but Tuesday will be warm and clear. Ready to try out the new gearing in the twisties and hills.
