This is a planning and project thread for my project bike that is already pretty overbuilt turned-up grom. This thread is the documentation starting from version two, as I did not document version one.
Here is the current state
Disassembled as of Dec 2022:
What's Coming In Version Two
Here is the current state
Disassembled as of Dec 2022:
- 2020 Honda MSX starting point
- Protaper KLX 110
- Domino Grips and universal throttle (Will need adjustment and the ends soldered)
- Two Motogadget 3 button bar controls wired through the bar
- Koso DB-03r Dash
- Womet 2 finger levers
- Stock hydraulic brake cylinder
- Takegawa hydraulic clutch cylinder
- Venhil Steal braided brake lines
- Stock triple tree
- Custom triple bar STEDI light array (needs to be redesigned as the eBay braces are not appropriately angled)
- Motogadget front signals (need to be remounted when the bracket is rebuilt)
- Racing Bros adjustable front fork shock system
- Racing Bros external reservoir rear shock (Paint had some rust and flaking issues. Working with the dealer to replace within warranty)
- Corbin custom raised grom seat
- TST tail plate and integrated tail light
- Anti-Gravity Battery
- Custom loom hand built (there were some major issues with this v1 loom which will be remediated in future versions)
- ECU reset button
- tracker wired in
- ABS Delete
- DoctorSpeed Spedo healer (This may be getting replaced as the dash has a speedo healer, and the ABS has been deleted)
- Underglow light pods
- Complete AC circuit delete
- Mototgadget M-Unit (used for controlling large parts of the loom in v1, v2 loom will be limited to ignition and lighting only running it's on a separately built loom)
- Dynojet PowerCommander V EFI Piggyback (this is being replaced with the Microsquirt)
- Dynojet Wideband 2 O2 Controller (This may be getting reused if compatible with Microsquirt but will likely be replaced with something more compact and lower power draw)
- Dynojet AFR gauge (will be replaced along with the controller if necessary)
- Takegawa Oil Catch Can
- Digerbuilt titanium 34 Race Intake and high-flow air filter
- 34mm Big throttle body
- Kitaco 181cc NEO 2v
- Takegawa Super Cam Chain Tensioner
- Takegawa Oil Pump Upgrade (Doesn't have the wheelie oil snorkel)
- Upgraded Stator from Steady Garage
- Takegawa 5 Speed TAF Close Ratio gearbox
- Takegawa Slipper Clutch
- SMR 6 Disc Clutch
- Kitaco 60% Clutch Springs (yes, heavy springs and a slipper clutch, it needs to be dialed in, but downshifts are smoother while the clutch bites hard on acceleration)
- Takegawa hydraulic clutch cover (spinner delete, filter add)
- GCraft Tank less Kit rear brake tank
- TYGA Rear Sets (These may get replaced I don't really like their design)
- Yoshimura RS-07 titanium exhaust and header (O2 bung added identifying that the header pipe is not Ti)
- Upgraded sprockets and chain (these will be getting replaced with this build)
- Billet chain adjusters (these will be getting removed and sent to my bike in Thailand)
- GCraft Engine Plate
- Dingerbuilt ceramic bearings (only the fronts and the rears blew out and did damage to my rear wheel. It's unclear if this was related to a baring defect or installation issue)
- Michelin Power Pure tires
- Wiring is hard.
- Good wiring is VERY HARD.
- Running a piggyback ECU modulator works but is very fiddly. I spent most of summer 2022 constantly trying to fix my tune.
- The groms are VERY limited on spare battery power.
- Almost all of my parts worked together, but anything touching the loom was a bad day. I considered returning to a stock loom, but ultimately, there were too many changes.
- Grom Stators are two wire which makes playing with that system hard. I recommend using the stock Reg/Rec, as I have yet to identify a DC-only Reg/Rec that works with the grom stator.
What's Coming In Version Two
- G-craft Big Triple square frame
- G-craft Single Sided Swing Arm
- G-craft Aluminium Side Stand
- G-craft Side Stand Holder
- ShiftUp Rear Brake Disc
- Kitaco 32T Rear Sprocket
- Loom V2 (More details on this to come)
- Seperate Lighting and EFI Looms
MicroSquirtSpeeduino Teensy 4.1 with custom board design- Active AC -> DC Rectifier (Design schematics to come)
- Buck/Boost converter on custom board (Design schematics to come)
- Wideband Controler (I need to identify a low draw controler) This may get built into the ECU boards
- Connect up digital speed on KOSO to front wheel sensor if possible
- (optional) Brembo brakes
- (optional) Brembo radial mastercylinder (might get two for the clutch)
