Thomas Spagnoli: workshop approach for Suzuki DL650 V-Strom cool down restart confirms heat related sensor fault

For Suzuki DL650 V-Strom cool down restart confirms heat related sensor fault, I would slow the job down for ten minutes and make the evidence visible. Guessing feels fast, but it usually makes the repair longer.

1. Define the condition: cold, hot, idle, load, rain, bumps, full lock, after refuel, or after charging.
2. Test the basics first: battery, grounds, fuel quality, connectors, vacuum leaks, air filter and recent work.
3. If intermittent, move the loom gently while monitoring the symptom. Do not pull hard; you are looking for clues, not creating new faults.
4. Replace parts only when a measurement or repeatable test points to them.

Keep the original setup in mind. Many faults appear after a small change, and the change is often more useful than the symptom.
