“As you hold the clutch in, coasting to a stop, that's when you notice it. As you gear down, the sound goes away immediately when you go into second. 3rd, 4th and 5th make the sound as you coast to a stop.” This is from post #55

I can agree with everything you posted except…. I have first hand knowledge of this as well and it was only in 4th and 5th. In 3rd it was not present. After coming to a stop it went away and did not return

I have a friendly Honda store nearby. I was talking to the service manager about this today and he said he hasn’t heard of this. I think most people that bought one aren’t serious riders and the majority of these Groms are sitting in garages with low miles. I’m thinking about purchasing the 5 year extension warranty. Mine expires next month. It would buy me piece of mind. I shouldn’t have to but I do like the bike enough to keep it and I can cancel it anytime and get a prorated refund if the issue is ever identified and an easy fix. This wasn’t what I expected when I bought a Honda.

Sorry for your troubles. I was thinking about adding a warranty but after reading these last few posts I’m going to sell mine and move on. Thanks for posting your story.

Sold my 2022 Grom. The 5 speed didn’t work out for me. I lost faith in the quality due to the noise issue in the upper gears. I was without a Grom for a few days but scored a 2020 Grom today with 600 miles on the od and a Corbin seat. Looking forward to doing some long rides.
