The story I got was the dude crashed it, got injured and his wife made him sell. He mainly used it as a daily driver. Supposedly. Runs fine and already has bars on it, though they are kinda wide. Will have to see how they feel at the track. May cut them down or get some more narrow ones. Need to get a number plate, some LED strips for front blinkers and some sort of LED headlight so it can stay 'kinda' street legal as a race bike. I also need to drop some new springs and oil in the front and toss a new spring on the shock, so another $200 or so. Can't complain... all-in after everything I need to do (which honestly isn't a lot) I will be under $2,000 on this Grom. This will be my main/only street bike after the Triumph sells. Deal's Gap next year gonna be interesting Edited November 5, 2018 by what 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I replaced my old fuel pump with one from high flow. Thanks @2talltim for the suggestion. They did not have a regulator replacement, but pretty much everything else. The old pump may have just needed the filter replaced. $70 still beats the over $300 Honda wants to replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hi flow is still going strong. I think the connie has run better than ever since the change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Rode all three bikes today. Changed the oil for the first time in the Z(some good ol Rotella T6). Flushed the brakes on the Vstar. And tucked them all back in for the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
