DAYTONA custom parts that improve practicality without sacrificing individuality

Lightweight and compact for an adventure bike, the V-Strom 250SX is built with characteristics that allow it to be enjoyed on flat dirt roads and other light off-road riding. However, the concern is damage in the event of a fall. DAYTONA has developed a number of new items to enhance the V-Strom 250SX's protection and travel performance, including a split upper and lower engine guard to reduce damage in the event of a fall, and a windshield extension kit to reduce fatigue on long-distance rides!

With these items installed, traveling with the V-Strom 250SX is sure to become even more comfortable and enjoyable. Here, we will take a look at some items that will improve the travel performance of the V-Strom 250SX, focusing on new parts released by DAYTONA in 2024!

Upper Pipe Engine Guard & Lower Pipe Engine Guard V-Strom 250SX ('23)

■Upper Pipe Engine Guard & Lower Pipe Engine Guard V-Strom 250SX ('23)

The Pipe Engine Guard, which is split between upper and lower, is an item that greatly enhances the V-Strom 250SX's defensive capabilities. Unlike some fog light brackets which offer little protection, it was developed to function as a solid engine guard, and a solid shaft-type joint is used to connect the left and right steel pipes.

■Lower Pipe Engine Guard V-Strom 250SX ('23)

The diameter of pipes for both the upper and lower guards is 1 inch (25.4mm), which is commonly used for Harley-Davidson type handlebar sizes, and the exterior has a matte black painted finish. They can be used as a location to clamp various devices, such as camera equipment, as well as DAYTONA's LED fog light unit, Precious Ray.

■The lower engine guard has a sturdy structure with a pipe that goes all the way around to the pivot. The rigidity of the chassis as a whole is also likely to be increased.

■The lower guard also comes with a reduction slider to reduce damage in the event of a fall.

Oil can be changed with the lower engine guard installed. Also, the exhaust pipe does not need to be removed for installation.

■With both lower and upper engine guards installed, the bike's volume is considerably increased. They are also highly effective as dress-up parts.

Windshield Offset Bracket V-Strom 250SX

■A kit that allows the choice of two windshield heights. The photo shows the raised position.

The Windshield Offset Bracket uses the stock windshield without modification. The mounting position can selected from two choices, the stock height or 50mm up for further wind protection.

■The Windshield Offset Bracket is reasonably priced because it uses the stock windshield as is. The photo shows the raised position.

The upper mounting bar, which is on the rider's side, is millimeter bar size (φ22.4mm) and is the same thickness as handlebars commonly found on Japanese bikes, allowing for the attachment of various items such as smartphone holders and navigation systems. The position of this mounting bar itself is also adjustable by 20mm (forward and backward), making it easy to secure clearance between the device and the windshield.

■The upper mounting bar is a versatile φ22.4mm. The photo shows the raised position.

Model Specific Hazard Light Kit V-Strom 250SX

■A model specific hazard light kit that enables the use of the hazard function which causes the front and rear turn signals to flash. The lights do not stay on at all times.

This kit enables the hazard function to be used on the V-Strom 250SX, which does not originally have a hazard function. It is a coupler-on kit that includes all switches, relays, etc., and the wiring length has been adjusted specifically for the bike model, making it easy to install.

■The Model Specific Hazard Light Kit switch installed on the right switch box. A hazard mark sticker is also included.

Model Specific Hazard Light Kit V-Strom 250SX, Gixxer 150/250
■Contents: Relay x 1, Switch x 1, Double-sided tape x 1, Cable ties x 5, Hazard mark sticker x 1

Light Clutch Release Arm V-Strom 250SX

■Light Clutch Release Arm V-Strom 250SX

The Light Clutch Release Arm V-Strom 250SX changes the lever ratio by lengthening the clutch arm on the engine side. The clutch lever operation becomes lighter, making it easier to operate and reducing fatigue on long trips. It is also compatible with the Gixxer SF250 and Gixxer 250, which have the same type of engine, and the black anodized finish makes it an effective dress-up part as well.

■The Light Clutch Release Arm increases the stroke amount but lightens the clutch lever operation.
