So this weekend was Cruisin the Coast here in Mississippi. Got up with a bunch of local Ruckus guys and some Ruckus guys came over from Louisiana. Riding with them at times I wanted a little more performance. I only plan to do intake, exhaust and a Power Commander. Slap all that on and dyno tune it and I will be done performance wise. So this morning I got up and decided to shoot an email to the people at DynoJet who make the Power Commander and this is what I got back:

"We do currently have some product development projects for the Grom underway. We are sourcing new wiring harness connectors and working out some engineering solutions for the O2 sensor. I have no ETA for a product release at this time..

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Heck yeah that is great news. Don't tell me those gy6 rucks were leaving you in the dust?

 

[LateNA]

I am completely stock and this one Ruck was whooping my ass. One of the NOLA guys.

I thought about hitting up cruising with my grom, but probably would've taken the R1 instead. Just didn't have the time to get out there. Where'd you get yours from?

We go hard in the NOLA. what you expect??

 

[LateNA]

I got my Grom from Brookhaven Honda when they first came out. I don't even ride the SV1000S anymore. I rode it Friday and it just doesn't do it for me like the Grom.

He is actually a BR guy. I am just doing a basic intake/exhaust and Power Commander on the Grom. Keep that reliability and squeeze a little more performance out of it.

Yeah, they got their's about a month and a half before we did. They also got 3 to our 1. Good thing I put my deposit down in June, lol.

 

[LateNA]

I got one of their first 3. And I didn't even have a deposit.

 

[badlag86]

My district service manager told me that they sold all three pretty quickly. Same with h-burg, and same with one other he'd visited. this was well over a month ago he was telling me that.

 

[LateNA]

I had been in contact with Brookhaven for about a month. I talked to Nate and let him know I was buying a black Grom and had cash in hand. Shoebacca got his Grom on Thursday, the first on the forum. Nate called me Saturday around noon and told me they had one black Grom that was available. Before they had 5-6 deposits but supposedly they all backed out except one. A guy from the dealership bought the other one, leaving one available. I went Monday and picked it up.

I work at the Honda dealership in Gulfport and we have only gotten one in, a red and it went to a walk in customer who wasn't even looking for a Grom. He is a local bike collector.

 

[1BadGROM]

You must be speaking of Courtney. Lol I was suppose to race him for money. Good thing I didn't.

 

[badlag86]

very nice. I work at the honda dealer in slidell. we got a black one, sitting in my garage... lol

I am. banks619 has the intake mod and the Yosh full exhaust and he says he got him on the highway, so you may stand a chance.

I talked to my boss and told him I was buying a Grom and gave him a chance to sell me one, but he said "I rather make a little money on it." Roger that.

I got an extra 4 mph out of my grom with full yosh and airbox mod. actually hit 69 mph by kinda drafting a camper.

at least you got a grom, lol. plenty of people out there with no such luck.

 

[LateNA]

I got one, and I got it pretty much when they came out, so I am happy. Plus I got a smoking deal on it. I hit 70 mph downhill the other day. I have the full Yosh on order but it has been backordered for over a month. Supposed to have been released the end of last week. banks619 has the full Yosh and he walked away from me going uphill on a bridge out here.

 

[badlag86]

where did you order it from? I had my parts manager order it straight from yosh... got here in a couple of days. great deal on it once you have a dealer account too.

 

[LateNA]

I called Yosh directly and forget what the price was, but it was more than the price I got through my Parts Unlimited rep. I think he got it for around $300 for me. The carbon full system.

 

[badlag86]

I paid around 320 for the carbon full system. I just ordered sprockets from tyga so i can (hopefully) clutch up some wheelies in second gear. First gear comes up great, but second is just too damn long. haha

 

[LateNA]

We haven't ordered from Yoshimura in forever, I want to say the price they quoted me was close to $400. I want to get my Power Commander, intake and exhaust done before I mess with the gearing.

 

[badlag86]

The exhaust is literally about 5 minutes to install. The spring puller that comes with the exhaust sucks though, so be careful. had to use the one in my toolbox after the yosh one broke.
