you and me both haha i gotta take off the case cover on the clutch side so ill get to see what it is tonight...

so far a few coworkers have taken bets on these options

1. the sprocket for the timing chain was destroyed
2. the key way for the sprocket was destroyed so it spins
3. timing chain snapped down low and i cant see it
4.broken crankshaft
5. broken plastic guide that broke the chain or made it come off

feel free to guess which it might be haha

 

These are so easy (and cheap) to mod though. White plastics are available from mexico, but rumor has it 2023's might have more color options.

 

I was reading all 76 pages on advrider today. Before work got busy

 

Early on, I thought maybe the ring gear on the clutch lost a tooth but that doesn't explain dying after running pretty well. Broken cam chain would be fairly obvious if you've got the valve cover off, wouldn't it? Cam gear @ the crank? Would think that unlikely but who knows?

 

So I pulled the other side off and everything looks fine? But when I turn the motor over the timing chain sprocket on the crankshaft does not spin the sprocket behind it and in front of it both spin everything spins buuut that one sprocket… so I’ll have to pull the clutch basket thing to access those sprockets to see wtf is going on

 

5'5 3/4"

I had a lowering link on my DRZ with the forks slid up in the triples. I didn't have any issues then, so hoping for the same

 

Brought one set of lights into work and put some yellow tint on. Kinda digging it

 

Or you could sell the Grom to me

 

This would go well with the Africa Twin

 

Dang that looks really good!

 

I want one

T-Rex makes a pannier rack with plastic cases for $250

 

That does look shockingly close. Love my new Triumph though! I do have a love affair with the proper ADV bike look, but I think the sport tourer I have fits my needs much more appropriately (and at a better price point)

 

I'd do Squadrons. S1s are nice, but the additional lenses will light up the area better I feel and look more proportional on a big liter ADV bike.

 

I can’t get the T-Rex pannier rack because I sit on the back part of the seat. Dang tall people problems.

 

Wouldn't know nothin bout that

 

Hows it riding?

 

So good. I do need to pick up a windshield visor or wait for the Puig tourer screen to drop for it though. I'm a little more torso than leg, so on the highway, the wind buffets the top inch or two of my helmet and gets a little noisy. Not terrible but would make a long day in the saddle a bit longer if on a bigger ride.

I also am patiently waiting for someone to make a bigger brake pedal lever. My big feet overshadow the teeny tiny oem pedal.

 

Honda released some new colors for 2023 AT. It looks good
