Leave the brake lever cable tied on, leave over night, that should get any air out.

What is wrong with the 5th bolt? Snapped or thread stripped?

I haven’t looked yet actually, but he made it sound like they just weren’t there. I guess thread being stripped would make sense, fingers crossed that’s not the case 😞

What's the deal with this being 150? It's pretty tempting for the odd commute

Mistake in listing?

Bore out kit?

Probably should avoid either way. 800 miles on it though

For any bike, I go with as standard as possible these days.
If it’s bored out, who did it and when? Why? Which kit?

Too many questions. Also, I see you on a Ruckus, not a Grom.

I thought Ruckus/Zoomers were silly money these days but a quick check and they're actually not bad. Not as popular with the hipsters any more?
It would be the smart choice really as SWMBA could also ride it after doing her CBT

Do want

I'd ask to see what the issue is, if the thread is striped I say use a timesert instead of a helicoil. Fingers crossed it's not a snapped bolt but just missing.

There are some trick grom bits out there and some decent kits but need to know what has been done as it isn't a straight change the 3 piece kit.

I'd want something bigger than a 50 myself.

Nah it's totally fine for centre of town. I cycle 5 days a week to work so any argument for not enough power or whatever is moot.
My last bike was a 750 and it spent 6 months having never reached 3rd gear.

It's the Big Ruckus that are JDM which kept fetching strong money. They're on my list of decent town bikes but I missed the prices escalating to the point where it no longer seems worth it.

The 250 engine in the Big Ruckus is apparently very very reliable.

Curse dude. Curse. I’d fucking love a ruckus regardless of CC.

Reckon everyone on this thread should get one. Circle jerks ruckus ride

This Ruckus headlight kit for the grom has me feeling some kinda way

Not arguing with you, from my experience of having a 50 in zone 1-2 and it was fine sticking to 30 roads. But anything more than that may be difficult. So derestricting is better IMO.

Are they c=decent twin lights? More bates and less dominator.

Never mind the lights, what the hell is that swingarm mod? Also custom headers. Actually, I’m feeling that whole
Build. Linky please

They are stupid, but they are best thing ever. Thats a Japanese one you want a UK one imo. Only problem with FI ones is the FI Units sometimes go but that it.

Scorpa’s back home.

First job of the morning, drain fluids and strip head/cylinder. Assess piston slap.

This is not just any Scorpa, this is an M + S Scorpa!

Overpriced, a bit too rich, and better value from Aldi?

Ha. Very good! I presume Aldi is like Lidl😁
