Templar X 250

Now support is saying all the parts have to come from overseas so I should "wait awhile" for an update and it takes at least a week to process. Am I just getting unlucky? I wouldn't consider this "fast" service. I don't think I've seen anyone in this thread have such an important part of the bike missing (triple tree fork clamp). Literally can't do anything without it.

This was the shippers fault. And yes, there is a box with the triple clamp in it. As I recall, it has the gauge cluster too. And maybe the horn. Sucks.

They do have some parts in stock. Those ship fast. As in two day shipping after one day delay for warehouse to pull stock and ship.

Confirmed last night that they don't keep any steering parts in stock so I really do have to wait. Seems like it'd be quicker to just send me a new bike but i know they won't do that. I can't believe I'll most likely be waiting longer for these parts than I did for the bike itself.

Ordered Rear Rim, tire, rotor & brake pads.. $230. Cheaper than KKE Spokes torqued correctly seals and bearings good...I liked the factory rear tire. Good grip, wear & stiff sidewalls.. Easier swap to & from adventure tire & 42 tooth sprocket back to factory for trails now...

Swapping out the rear wheel is a sensible solution to transforming the bike between off-road and adventure/dual sport. It breaks through the idea of compromising to meet the demands of the two purposes. You will probably need two chains as well, but all of this takes up less space than TWO bikes!
