Special order parts from toys r us, huh?
-
Haha. Sure. Had to ride it home in first gear because I bent the shifter under the case.
Got home. Bent it back. Proceeded to ride.
How's that triumph coming along..............
-
I know the feeling. That happened on the buell when I hit some gravel and slowly laid the bike down. Bent it back with some vice grips and off I went.
Triumph is same old same old. Took it out for a nice ride today tho. Just gotta baby it in 1st & 2nd until I get to working on it.
-
Does it just need a new clutch? Because that's cake bassface
-
Most likely its internal gearbox issues or the detent arm behind clutch. I just gotta get inside the clutch cover to check the easy stuff first. If its the dogs inside gearbox, that'll require engine removal to split the case.
-
Sell it. Buy a grom. Thank me later. It puts a limit on what size chicks you can bring home
-
Ill pass. I dont need training wheels
-
^lol
Having ridden a lot of stuff. I can say the grom is almost more fun than my Supermoto was. And sport bikes cannot hold a candle to the amount of fun that you can have on a supermoto.
Don't knock it till you try it.
-
Agree to disagree my friend.
What constitutes as fun is in the eye of the beholder. -
If there's one thing we agree on, it's that we will never agree on bikes hahah.
-
Haha. I was only going about 25-30ish. I was riding with another buddy who has a grom and we were just practicing around on some wide industrial roads.
I was honestly more worried about the bike so I white knuckled that thing when I slid.
I'm going to buy a 12 bar and crash cage for this thing shortly. Because I will crash it some more for sure.

straight-faced, Mr. Serious, blacked-out-600-rider takes a grom off-road. "yeah... it's small and it's cute." The dialog cracks me up.
no offense, but, it would have been faster, and more fun, to ride my bike (read: bicycle) across that field than whatever that was.

I've heard the thing to do with dirt bikes is to take the original plastics off as soon as you buy it and put some aftermarket ones on. Then when you go to sell it you can clean the bike up and put the original plastics back on and the it will look like it's hardly been ridden...

Yeah, he looked like he was struggling a bit, and the field looks like a terrible place to ride. Plus the Grom isn't really intended to be ridden off-road... The point was that he thought he was too cool for the toys-r-us bike, but had fun on it anyway.

Took crap off in preparation for the making of a removable core support and engine swop and overall phuckery of this thing
And got stuck at the white bumper bullshit. One of the torx bolts has a snapped head and the other one is larger than the torx bits I have. I have a t50. I think that's a t55.
I'm tempted to just cut the shit off and hack it up and just buy new/used stuff that doesn't have a million years of rust on it.
Since I will be making a removable core support anyways, I was thinking that cutting everything off the front of the car wouldn't be a bad idea....?
Any thoughts?
-
Pic for size comparison
I don't think the grom would do much lol. And plus I just put new parts on it on Friday. Have to keep them looking nice for at least another week until I crash it again
