Brammo Empulse / Empulse Front Sprocket
« on: January 30, 2018, 12:23:05 PM »
I have about 12k miles on my 2013 Empulse and Im about due for a chain and sprocket replacement.
From the research I have done on the forum I understand that this is the sprocket to get?:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/JT-Heavy-Duty-Sprocket-JTF1439-14t-fits-Suzuki-GSX-R250-RK-89/201718272757?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Looks like they are sold out though. Are there any other vendors that will ship to the US? Or is there another suitable replacement?

Any suggestions for rear sprocket and chain?

TIA!

Found a few in this price range on cycletrader. 6k for an Empulse... thats an amazing price!

I suppose the only show stopper may be parts availability?

Brammo Empulse / My Empulse Fell Over in the Garage - Need Replacement Mirror
« on: July 22, 2016, 10:14:16 AM »
Still not quite sure how I managed to do this but my Empulse tipped over in the garage. I was getting ready to leave this morning and had moved the Empulse from where I usually park it, set it on the kickstand, and as I was heading back into the house it just tipped over. WTF!
Thinking more about what may have happened, I think I could have nudged it forward when I dismounted and pushed the stand beyond the pivot point... it must have remained balanced for a few seconds because I was almost in the door when it decided to tip. Very strange.
Anyway, only damage is a bent shift lever (managed to bend this back), broken clutch lever (just the end snapped off, still usable) and a broken side mirror (needs replacement). Handle bar end has some slight scuffs too. Overall pretty minor damage.
My only question is, what brand / model mirror is OEM replacement? Looks pretty standard to me, but a quick search via eBay returns far too many results to dig through. Any ideas?

Off Topic / Karmic Koben eBike on Kickstarter
« on: May 11, 2015, 10:32:55 AM »
Its no electric motorcycle but I wanted to see what people here think of this eBike:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hongquan/the-kben-a-modern-electric-bike-for-the-human-race

The CTO of Karmic is Neal Saiki, founder of Zero Motorcycles who also worked for Santa Cruz, so they definitely have the technical knowhow to make a great eBike. Target weight for the production model is 36lbs, thats very impressive for an eBike with an aluminum frame.

Most of us know Wes Siler too, he has an article on the bike here:

Warning, the comments below the article are... interesting.

Brammo Empulse Mods / Empulse Color Mods
« on: October 01, 2014, 08:56:27 AM »
Anybody know where I can get these green parts?

I assume they did all this aftermarket, but it would be REALLY cool if Brammo offered customization like this, where you could order colored battery clamps, tank cover, and other swappable parts. The catalog has got some great stuff, but as easy as it is to customize the Empulse's colors it would be cool to see these kinds of parts in there.


Wouldnt it be cool if brammo had something like Moto-Maker for the Empulse and Enertia?

Brammo News And Views / Brammo eCruiser, ENT Scooter!!
« on: September 23, 2014, 09:19:21 PM »
And... Boom goes the dynamite:

http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/brammo-ecruiser-ent-engage-spied/

The eCruiser looks pretty sweet, but Im holding out for the RR.

The "Ent" should sell like gangbusters in Europe and Asia if price appropriately.

Very exciting stuff!

Edit: Looks like Ted picked up the story yesterday:

Brammo News And Views / New Post on EmpulseRider.com
« on: August 26, 2014, 10:31:16 AM »
Thats right, the website is still alive and I have not given up on Brammovangelizing - Yes, I think thats a thing. With the new job, kid, (as well as another right around the corner) life has been kicking my ass. I have much less time on my hands, as I did before. Lame excuses aside, Im gonna try and bring the site back to life.

That said, most of my traffic goes to the Electric Motorcycle TCO and Solar ROI Calculator apps... like 98% of it. Thats why I keep the apps updated. After all those apps, and my mediocre writing skills, are what set my site apart  ;).

Off Topic / Polaris Slingshot

You guys have got to see this:
http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/polaris/2015-polaris-slingshot-review-first-ridedrive-video.html

Reminds me of the Ariel Atoms that Brammo used to dabble in. BAD ASS, but can you imagine this beast with a Brammo powertrain? Seeing as they are in cahoots, its certainly possible down the road, right?

Three wheels, requires a helmet and a motorcycle license.

Brammo News And Views / TCO Calculator Updated
« on: April 22, 2014, 04:59:45 PM »
Check out the new bikes! There are a few bugs left in the code that will prevent you from sharing your TCO comparison but I should have that ironed out by this week. The Brammo incentives on the 2013 models is a little old too. 2000 vs 2500, etc. Wanted to post here first before Twitter and Facebook in the case where you guys find any other errors.

Notice the change in URL and logo. ;)

Just got the email announcing Brammo's lease program where you can get an Empulse for as low as 269 /mo ($2209 down). Pretty solid deal IMO. Here is the link:

What method is Brammo using to change the color of the battery bracket / clamp parts? Are they anodized?

Brammo Empulse Mods / Brammo Tail Tidy Kit
« on: March 29, 2014, 08:48:14 AM »
Is the tail-tidy kit available to order yet? I know Brammo had to re-think the mod after the tail assembly recall, but it should be available now, right? Please excuse me if I missed something obvious (like I usually do).
