Brammo Owners Forum

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?:

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!

I road in last week and as I was heading to work on the highway the power cutout going from around 30% to 0% and "Recharge Required" message. I turned the bike off then back on, and off I went. Went to WOT and boom, same deal. So this next time I went easy on the throttle and eventually made it to work (5 more miles) with no more drama. Before this happened I was feeling a bit of a stutter at WOT. This has actually happened to me before, but at much lower SOC, like at 8-12%, and always in cold weather. Seems to run perfectly >60 degrees though. I have never had any issues charging though.

And they are still selling new ones! Heck, if your thinking about throwing $3k at the transmission, its almost worth it to spend a few grand more, get a new one and use your current bike as a donor bike. Right now I am seeing a handful listed on cycletrader.com for just under $6k. But with no parts or real warranty support, thats still high. I would pick one up today for $4k if only to part it out... perhaps sell the non-empulse-specific parts on eBay to recoup as much as I could.

I have around 12k miles on my Empulse R with ZERO issues so far... but I know the party has got to end at some point.

My hope is that Polaris is still hashing out the consolidation of the Victory brand, and the Empulse is just sitting at the end of the list of loose ends. Damn...

Not only parts, but who is going to perform warranty service?

I suppose thats another concern... Did you manage to find a front sprocket yet? There has got to be a cache of Brammo / Victory parts somewhere.

If these thing continue to get cheaper, it may almost be worth buying one for spare parts. 

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?

CAT's experience makes me wonder if they would swap or at least discount a Victory Empulse for you, Freepz. Heck, I have heard of them going new for around 6500 IIRC. That would get you into a new 5 year 100k warranty too... and still electric! Although the new Indian bikes are pretty sweet!

BTW, congrats on the new bike CAT!

Maybe Polaris will start thinking about Brammo drivetrains in a Slingshot

I would say Lithium batteries are just as likely if not more likely to go up in flames like this.

Wut...? I have to disagree... How many Brammo's have spontaneously combusted?
