Hi all. I put a new front wheel on my SM (had Warp 9 build a 19" with the SM rotor) and followed the instructions when reinstalling (tighten right pinch bolts; tighten axle nut; loosen right pinch bolts; flex fork legs; squeeze brakes; tighten pinch bolts; loosen and retighten axle nut). This...

I tried taking an intro to dirt class on my SM last weekend. All went well — I dropped it fewer times than all the GS riders — but on one drop I broke off the end of the brake lever. The SM lever is not on the parts list Google sheet. I guess it's a Brembo part but there is no number stamped on...

This is an overlanding (back country moto camping) show in Flagstaff. Looks like it will be fun. Hit me up if you go. I’ll have my SM. /adam

My main bike is an Africa Twin. I run Conti Trail Attack 2s front and rear and I virtually never feel any loss of traction on the road, whether I'm running on clean asphalt, tar snakes, or street paint — even when it's damp. By contrast, the SM seems much more squirrelly. I can easily feel...

Well, my wife's test ride on our new SM didn't end well. She's 5' 5" and weighs 115 lbs. (not much shock compression), so only the tips of her toes touch the ground; she was nervous about tipping over when coming to a stop. Sure enough, as she was stopping she reached for the ground with her...

On my SM I literally cannot see over either shoulder with the mirrors in the stock position, so while I can see my blind spots I can't check my six. Has anyone fitted longer mirror brackets to improve visibility to the rear?

I just went down to my SM to try and figure out the wheel size and noticed that both tires say "Tubeless". Are the wheels actually tubeless, or are these TL tires simply run with tubes, which should be fine given the low maximum speed of the bike?

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...

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...

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.

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...
