Got a call yesterday from the dealer I orignally went to about the Grom about their only unit coming in, they didn't take deposits so I went first thing this morning and with the help of my kickass girlfriend, rode away on my very own red Grom.. Not sure what I want to do as far as mods, I'm just basking in even having one :shocked:
Place I take pictures of my 2 wheelers
And my initiation process, I have to do a nice burnout with everything I get
Stay tuned for more pictures and ill figure out mods eventually
So I think I'm done riding for the day.. Clocked 62 miles so far and 39 of those have been 2up with the gf.. With us both we mustered 58 on flat, sitting up an 62 with a pretty good tail wind.. So far I love it and for whatever reason this seat doesn't seem as stiff as Jeankysti's did whenever I rode on his.. Idk
anywho, my only mod so far was peeling off the tank cover stickers and placing my second hondagrom.net sticker in a place another member did which I thought was awesome
My only current "woes" have been finding a middle ground between second an first gear when coasting in the 10mph range.. You either bog second and rev out first, I'm sure ill figure it out but right now its bugging me and also I (think) I'm hearing a clatter around 7k in 4th gear but I'm not sure, it's bit windy today and it may be something just shaking around but it wasn't there earlier, now it is so ill be listening more to hopefully source the noise or just live with it

Tore off the right panel for shits to look at things.. Ended up unhooking the intake tune from the throttle body and taking it for a spin.. WOW it felt like it could actually breath! Revved out like nothing and sounded 100x better! I think I'm going to pick up a pod filter and run it on days I know there isn't a chance of rain
i pulled the plug to see how it is doing, not many miles after the air box mod but it seems to be running clean
Also had my girlfriend sit on it so I can take a picture of her
Rode it to work for the first of many times to come.. Enjoyed it a lot, good to have my own two wheels again. I got about halfway to work when the fuel indicator started flashing with about 75 miles on it (note probably 60 of those had been ridden 2up) so I slowed down and drove it easy.. Made it to work and on my way home stopped to fuel up, now 93 miles and nearly 20 miles of riding with the fuel light on it only took 1.1gal.. Nice! Lol
Also broke 100miles on my way home, bitter sweet to see it roll triple digits but so much fun doing it
A couple notes.. This was my first time out on the road at night and the lowbeam sucks, I need to adjust it.. The highness however was fantastic! I wanted to leave it on all the time haha
also I rode to work open throttle body, popped off the intake tube and pushed it aside and then rode home with it reconnected, defiantly a difference in the top rpms, routed through the airbox it struggles to rev past 8-8.5 and open it has no issue getting to the limiter in wot runs.. I ordered a cheap pod filter to run when I know the weather will behave.. Not to mention it sounds SO much better with the open tb, I did notice that the DIY airbox mod goes give the intake a throaty tone vs stock and would recommend it to anyone looking for a little something
I actually adjusted my low beam tonight. I have it so the reflective dots down the road are illuminated but go dark if I weight the fork. That way I know it's not shining in people's eyes. My adjustment bolt (located on the bottom of the assembly) had to be moved about 2mm forward to be just right.
I wouldn't say this is so much of a "build", but rather a series of small modifications/improvements and parts swapping. I recently bought a 2015 grom from a friend of mine. it had 850 miles on it when I got it, and was bone stock.
first real part I installed was a zoom loop exhaust. sorry...
Hey! I recently made a thread called "Insane $7500 build... anything I'm missing?". Well I gathered some more info, I added some stuff to the list, and I also removed everything. On this thread I'll go over everything Ima do to the grom! Here's the list of parts that I ordered/will order (filled...
I have not posted my build here so I figured I would throw it out there for everyone to see, Ask questions and make fun of my purpleness :). I have learned a lot in the progress of my grom build and wasted a lot of money to the point where now I could build an engine blindfolded. I knew nothing...
Picked up a used 2015 Grom a couple weeks ago here in Ottawa, Canada. Bought it for the wife who hasn't ridden since she got her license 8 years ago, except a couple times in the fall of 2016, just before we sold our Buell Blast. The Buell was supposed to be a keeper, but it was clunky at...
Only had my bike for one day and I was already ordering parts to mod it! (lol)
The TOCE exhaust is awesome! Nothing else sounds like it. I chose it because it's longer than any other exhaust, even the folded ones. Short exhausts are great for high rpm horsepower, while long exhausts produce...
