I took my Grom out for my first ever ride to get the butterflies out of my system, it was a fun 25 km ride and my thoughts are...

1. These stock mirrors are garbage... I just ordered some new ones from Webike.

2. Rear brakes are junk! I am not sure if they just need to be worked in but you had to jam the pedal down to stop.

3. My clutch feels way out there on the friction zone.. I would like to adjust it and also get new adj. levers.

4. My throttle needs to be adjusted as well, seems there is a bit of play almost 1/4" to 3/8" - I would like it bang on for instant GO!

Otherwise... I can't wait for my next ride.

Cheers!

Best way to fix rear brake is pull the wheel clean the heck out of the rotor, and pads
That was the cure for mine.

what did you use to clean the rotor/pad? brake spray cleaner?

The mirrors do suck, yet that's an easy fix.

i adjusted the clutch cable...it needed it too!

On the brakes, I am 165 lbs and u gotta squezze em good to stop.

I also didn't know the kickstand sensor existed and it fooled me when i tried to put it in1st gear with stand down and it stalled.

Get a Corbin seat too, the stock seat is tough.
