I just picked up my SM on Saturday and one thing I immediately noticed was the significant chain clatter when under acceleration, a noise that immediately disappears when the throttle is dialed back. Other than that the drivetrain sounds like I would expect: an electric motor "lugging" hum at...

2018 but it was a demo with ~240 miles. Also an SM, and with the SM-R coming out I think there is some motivation to move them.

Bringing this thread back a bit...the dealer showed both a $500 delivery fee and a $250 dealer prep fee on the sticker. Negotiated the combo down to $250 flat, plus 9.5% discount on the base price.

Hi all. Wondering if anyone has experience with changing out EX/SM incandescents for LEDs. I saw the Motominded Rigid S2 headlight option which looks good, but I'm also wondering about turn signal and tail light options. Can the stock bulbs be replaced with LED bulbs without causing fast...

Alta's web site doesn't show a dealer in San Jose.

That makes sense. The $495 I was quoted seems excessive.

For those of you who bought new, did you have "handling fees" included in the out-the-door price? I normally think of these as pure dealer padding and have never paid them on past Honda bike purchases, but am curious as to others' experiences.

Given the imminent arrival of the SMR, I'm curious what people think a fair price would be on an SM at this point.

So I did my best to overlay these two images of a Desert Sled (blue) and Redshift SM (red) at the same scale and with the rear hubs aligned (the parallax is not identical on the two photos). Some interesting findings, in particular that the rake is more or less identical but the head tube is...

Yeah, exactly. I'd describe the scrambler as basically naked, with a high rounded front fender, minimalist rear fender, teardrop "gas tank", ribbed seat with tall side panels, flat adventure-style bars, knobbies, and a big headlight. I get that an electric version will look different, but I...

Great info, thanks. I have neither the time nor the patience to build my own wheel, however; would Buchanan's be able to know what questions / measurements to ask to get a full wheel assembled to which I could just bolt the brake disc?

Hi all. I'll be ordering an SM soon and like all my bikes am looking forward to the farkling / customization process. In this case I would like to see if there is a way to shift the styling of the SM away from Supermoto and towards the scrambler look (of which I consider the Ducati Desert Sled...

I'm wondering about kind of the inverse of this question: What would be involved with fitting a 19" front wheel on the SM? I haven't purchased the bike yet but my plan is to use it as an exploration vehicle on a hitch rack behind our RV. As such, I want to fit it with 50/50 tires and make some...
