My scrambler942. I’ve changed a lot of shut from stock. Took off all the oem lights and replaced with QualityLED fork wrap turn signals and a all-in-one tail light strip. swapped the oem exhaust canister, which held the cat converter, to a Vance and Hines competition exhaust. I also wrapped the headers.Changed out oem air cleaner with Vance and hines naked filter. To compensate for the change in air and fuel I flashed ecu with a new dyno map made specific for my modifications. I ultimately decided flashing the ecu is the best option because 1) I can eliminate factory restrictions within the eco and 2) I don’t have to have a piggy back system such as a power commander which is just an additional electrical component that could potentially fail (which has happened to me before). I installed an after market windscreen that makes highway driving much more comfortable. It also goes with the lines of the bike.
I take the bike off-road sometimes so I made a metal skid plate to protect the engine.
I did a lot to this bike but I don’t remember everything at the moment. I think I need to get some tubeless wire wheels cuz this oem set has tubes
Need to chain out OEM seat for something more comfortable. Need to get ADV foot pegs as well cuz oem pegs are the same as R1 pegs which is no go for comfort. I’m also waiting for someone to make a chain conversion kit. Nothing is wrong with a belt drive, I actually really like it because of the extremely low maintenance but I like the look of a big ol beefy chain more.
Also gonna do a future mod with the countershaft drive cover to make it visible to view while in motion... that hooeee would look crazy with a chain drive combo and nobbier tires

This is the training bike that humbled me today. Everything was actually easy except for taking off in first. Stalled the engine probably 30x today. Thought feeling out the friction zone and applying throttle would be easy since I've been driving a manual car for 7 years.... nope.
310cc engine only but super touchy and friction zone is razor thin.
Class was fun though.

Any tall riders in here that ride sport bikes? Are they comfortable to ride?
I'm 6'2" 34 inch inseam. I like the Honda cbr650r a lot but wondering about comfortable ride position. I love the cb650r too which is a standard naked bike that will probably fit me better.

It really comes down to how flexible you are at the hip and knee. I'm a tall rider and ride a Ninja 636, I usually start getting stiff after 45 minutes or so if I'm on the highway with no stops. It's not an issue with city riding because you can stretch at stops/lights.

Now they have the superleggera versions which is even more insane.WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TODAY, SO PULLED THE BIKE OUT AND TRAVLED AROUND THE CITY OF CLEVELAND TO GET PICTURES IN FRONT OF EACH OF THE CLEVELAND SCRIPT SIGNS.

I've been checking craigslist and facebook marketplace daily. Are groms really that great or are people taking advantage of the trend?
People are selling used groms for damn near the price of a new one. I get they have after market parts but still..... I would love to have one though.
