Liquid-cooled, 645cc, V-twin engine delivers strong rush of high-rpm power that benefits any riding mission, The engine’s 90-degree crankshaft and ignition timing provide perfect primary balance for superb traction at all speeds while delivering a pleasant, rumbling exhaust note.

The fuel-injection system employs Suzuki’s innovative SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) on 39mm throttle bodies. The secondary throttle valves are controlled by a servo motor for smooth power delivery.

Suzuki’s patented Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control (TI-ISC) stabilizes the engine idle speed and helps lower emissions. The system is compact and lightweight.

The Engine Control Module (ECM) provides state-of-the-art engine management and has enhanced settings to suit the updated intake and exhaust systems, resulting in better fuel economy and linear throttle response.


The six-speed transmission suits sporty rides with tight first through fifth gear ratios and a tall top gear (sixth gear) for highway cruising.

The multi-plate clutch has precise push rod actuation of the pressure plate for a light lever pull and a consistent release point.

A low-maintenance, long-life sealed O-ring drive chain is standard.


The strong and lightweight aluminum twin-spar frame and sub-frame have integrated mount points for optional accessory Suzuki V-Strom luggage that is easy to mount or remove and keep the motorcycle trim for daily use, but ready for touring in seconds.

Spoke-style wheels, with blue-anodized aluminum rims laced with stainless steel spokes, absorb shock from irregular road surfaces well and accept tubeless tires.

Adventure-spec Bridgestone® Battlax 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless radial tires are mounted to the spoke-style wheels for all-around reliable performance.

The V-Strom 650XT comes with hand guards and a protective lower engine cowl.


LCD readouts include an odometer, dual tripmeter, traction control modes, gear position, coolant and ambient air temperature, fuel consumption, fuel gauge, and a clock. Switching between readings can be done with the left handlebar switch.

The V-Strom 650XT is equipped with Suzuki’s Advanced Traction Control System*, which lets the rider control the throttle with more confidence in various riding conditions. It continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle opening, engine speed, and the selected transmission gear to adjust engine output if wheel spin is detected.

Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist feature that seamlessly adjusts engine speed during takeoff and low-speed riding to smooth the power delivery. It also helps reduce the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle.

The V-Strom 650XT also features the Suzuki Easy Start System, which lets the rider start the motorcycle with a momentary press of the start button without pulling in the clutch lever when the transmission is in neutral.


The beak-style fairing, with vertically stacked headlights and a stronger internal structure, helps the V-Strom 650XT cut through the wind, protecting the rider in style.

The three-way height-adjustable windscreen is wind tunnel-tested to reduce wind sounds, buffeting, and rider fatigue.

The lightweight resin luggage rack incorporates easy-to-grasp grab bars and aligns with the passenger section of the seat, offering a larger surface for carrying cargo or luggage.

The fuel tank has a generous 5.3-gallon capacity and is shaped to be thin at the rear to flow into the slimmer seat, aiding the rider’s feet in touching the ground at stops.


The Suzuki accessory aluminum side and top cases have a sturdy lock and latch system using a unique style key that does not match the motorcycle’s ignition key.

Suzuki 12-month limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).

Genuine Suzuki Accessories offers key cylinders for V-Strom 650 plastic accessory side or top cases that can be set to match the motorcycle’s ignition key so a rider can enjoy one-key operation.
