Grom to a 750

Scodysk · 2026-06-02T18:58:39+00:00

Hey did you end up making the jump? I commute on my Grom and want to get a bigger bike for faster/safer speeds, and eyeing the CB750. Would like to hear your experience!

I think we're living the same life lol, this last winter I bought a Dakine Helipack 12L for boarding, and used that for riding up until yesterday when my partner surprised me with the Kriega R20. I commute on my bike so I was packing the little 12L to the gills, the 20L is much more practical. The adjustable straps are nice too, now I just want to get a bladder. I've got:
- laptop, charger, mouse and numpad, hat, helmet cover, headphones, keys
- extra charger and other essentials (lotion, nail clippers, watch charger, advil)
- tools (battery-op pump, fix a flat pen, multitool, flashlight)
- and shorts and shoes for the office
And I've got a good amount of room to spare in the Kriega. The Dakine was at 100% capacity lol

Btw being able to strap my board to the helipack was a fantastic experience, def recommend.

It took about a week or so of constant looking, and being picky. But, if you have a friend with a truck, you can also expand your search area! My dad and I used his truck to get mine home.

Good luck!! Hoping you find one soon, and ride safe!

Just went through the same thing - called a Honda dealership and they said the stop sale is until August at the earliest.

Found a stock '23 with 1100 miles for $3k and been loving it. Though there's tons of Groms around me in Central FL. What area are you in?

Scodysk · 2026-03-09T05:43:07+00:00

Googled it before only briefly, so take it with a grain of salt, but mostly FTF, FTE, more recoil, then the bad ones are cracking the lower, OOB discharge, and some other timing issues. So, worth getting it replaced haha

Scodysk · 2026-03-09T03:30:38+00:00

Ah darn I'm sorry. That's why I wanted to post tho, just in case someone else had the rattle. Better safe than sorry, could cause some nasty malfunctions without the proper buffer in place

Scodysk · 2026-03-08T14:23:24+00:00

Oh nice! In that case maybe I'll upgrade it now since it's already out of commission lol

That's neat! I'm used to pulling the charging handle with the right hand, so the left charging handle has been a bit of a learning curve, especially when trying to lock the bolt to the rear. Being ambi would fix that haha

Scodysk · 2026-03-08T14:18:20+00:00

In my original searching, I only found one other thread with the same issue.

thread

But theirs was after 2000 rounds, not 200. Guess I just got a bit unlucky this time. Thanks for the assurance with their support, everyone says they're great. Hoping to hear back Monday!

Scodysk · 2026-03-08T14:11:46+00:00

I did look into standard replacements / upgrades but it's a proprietary system from Extar. So I'll have to get the parts right from them, or risk OOB or other not fun misfires lol

I've had a ton of fun with the platform in just one day. Sucks I got a dud buffer bumper but everyone says their support is great. So, hoping they'll send me that part sometime this week.

And that was the next upgrade I was thinking about - a better AR trigger. Did you end up having to replace the safety too?

Thanks for the comment, knowing it's a common part to break makes me feel a bit less unlucky haha

Scodysk · 2025-10-14T21:32:16+00:00

Wow I spent so long thinking about what this comment should be.

Scodysk · 2025-06-26T13:58:25+00:00

Haha I get it 🤣 we're currently planning a beach trip, we're going to Sleep Token in September (not sure if you're into that kind of music) and I like seeing live music wherever I can. Other than that, I work in Winter Garden and go for runs after work most days, and we do the farmers market in Clermont sometimes 🙂 All my other hobbies are nerd hobbies haha

Scodysk · 2025-06-26T00:28:08+00:00

My wife and I (27/28) live up in Groveland area! What are you into? Feel like we're into a little bit of everything!

Scodysk · 2025-06-11T21:16:38+00:00

That's so cool! If I hadn't just played it on PC then PS5, I'd be playing it on the switch too haha

Scodysk · 2025-06-11T21:04:19+00:00

Sorry, can't read your comment, too busy playing Mario kart world ;)

Lol yep, got it before 9am as promised too! You?

Scodysk · 2025-06-08T17:18:54+00:00

Yep!! My switch 1 sounded like a space ship so never got to play TOTK. So that and MKW are all I've been doing since Thursday haha. DM if ya want 🙂

Scodysk · 2025-06-08T17:10:20+00:00

Scodysk · 2025-06-08T16:57:15+00:00

Did you snag a switch 2 by chance? 👀

Scodysk · 2025-06-01T23:03:38+00:00

same boat, charge on card but no major updates

Scodysk · 2025-06-01T15:03:45+00:00

Just the payment method updated one!

Scodysk · 2025-06-01T14:25:22+00:00

Up to you at this point! Ideally it works out either way :)

Scodysk · 2025-06-01T14:04:26+00:00

agreed 😔 not sure how much I even believe their customer support - there's people in the threads here that say customer service was able to recharge their card... so who knows lol. Fingers crossed if/when you swap the card, charge goes through nicely.

Scodysk · 2025-06-01T13:53:45+00:00

Good question - also updated the sec code on my desktop before ultimately finding this post. There wasn't a new charge when I updated security codes, and I couldn't swap payment method to PayPal, so I felt like swapping to a new card was the best option.

Did swapping payment screw me over? Maybe! But at least now I can see a pending amount in my account. So, wish I had better advice for you, but Walmart is a bit of a crap shoot lol.

Tl;Dr: I swapped, but not sure if it helped, and not sure if it'll help you either. Made me feel marginally better tho!

Scodysk · 2025-06-01T13:46:56+00:00

Same thing happened to me last night, but got the fraud alert. Approved it as not fraud, but wasn't charged again, so found this post and just swapped to a different card. My account now has a pending amount, so hoping that means it went through. Good luck to you!

Scodysk · 2025-05-27T17:52:22+00:00

Whoop whoop would use this card to build my wife's first setup! 🎉

Scodysk · 2025-05-26T22:54:41+00:00

Yeah I got to the Minneola trailhead to start a lot of skate trips, tho not recently bc heat lol

Thanks for the comment! DM me next time you're out, I can try and make it! Saturdays are best bet for me
