dumped a good amount of money so far i see

 

What else are these things for? :blackgrom:

 

duhhhhhhhhh

 

What is the highest temp reading you have gotten when riding in NOVA? I briefly saw 242 as the highest from the opmid

 

I haven't seen it go above 225 yet. Only did two longish rides out to Falls Church and back, though.

 

Makes me wonder if you prepared yourself for a bigger big bore after buying the full motor. You know they will come up with one lol

 

I dunno what you mean?

 

LOL
I think I need to bump my thread :in love:

 

I don't really keep track of what I spend on this thing, to be honest. It's literally mentally categorized as a "money black hole toy," haha. That being said, I've pestered ARunto quite a bit with questions since he has a lot of the same mentality on setup.

I only got the 218 motor coming so I can keep up with bigger bikes on longer rides because I think it will be hilarious and humbling.

It honestly makes me laugh whenever I ride the Grom and it even makes it more fun to ride my bigger bikes afterwards. Sometimes you lose track of how cool it is to have 170hp on the Diavel, but an hour of riding the 10hp Grom makes the next Diavel ride a wheelie fraught hooligan experience. If that makes sense?

 

Smith Mountain Lake has some great back roads!

 

Updated with new stuff. Couldn't resist the draw of blacked out forks and rear shock, so I'll be replacing the Ohlins!

 

dude I live at smith mtn lake. hit me up next time your around

 

Will do. Place has some bomb ass switchback turns with big elevation changes - I had a blast screaming around the back roads.

 

Oil cooler installed

 

Rear CARD on. Working on front since I'm doing new bars and LED light as well.

 

CARD all on.

 

Fyi, I talked w brocks , only 1 spring needed in the front

Wow ur shit looks good !!

 

Thanks dude

 

I'm diggin it. Great job

 

Finally got to 300 miles on the new motor. Did the oil change and swapped in the GoldPlug oil bolt, Takegawa super oil pump, and Sex Machine clutch springs. The springs are 30% stiffer versus the 10% RPM ones that I replaced. I didn't replace the plates yet, I'll do that at 600 miles.

Then I had a nice ride with the wifey and nothing blew up, so I live to Grom another day.

 

great Grom build thread--a template for what I'd like to do if I had the time (and $$) lol....

 

Great looking build!

 

G-Craft Billet Fuel Cap

 

Tyga Carbon Fiber Cowl Vents
G-Craft Billet Rear Brake Resevoir

 

How's that cap attach and does it work good ect?

 

The fuel cap mounts to the OEM plug and lock. You just flip it over, pry out the little steel disc that covers the screws, remove three screws, and the top cover comes off. Then you use the same three screws to fasten the G-Craft plate on, replace the steel disc, and you're done. The only annoying part is re-seating the rubber gasket around the little steel plate. It's not difficult, just tedious.

As for how it functions, it's perfect. I love the look.
