*UPDATE*
Just went on a 30 minute ride. Highway and town. NO BOGGING AT ALL. The bike has cleared it self up nicely. I broke 67 on the highway. Thanks for all the responses.
Ok. So this morning I go grab some Shell gasoline. No Ethanol. 87 octane. I notice they advertise "enriched with nitrogen", I was having second thoughts but I said to myself..."it's just marketing, I'll be fine". So I fill up to the brim.
I rode to the barbershop for a hard day of work and everything was great and normal.
The GROM was parked in a shaded area as usual. It was over 100 degrees today so I'm sure she appreciates the shade.
I just left the shop to head home and get ready for concert I'm playing tonight and I notice the smell of gasoline. I look down... There's a wet spot where the gas dump tube is dripping. "Ok I overfilled" I thought to myself.
I shift to first and take off. Feels weak. Once I get up to 3rd around 6k it's starts bogging down hard. I'm paranoid and PISSED OFF at this point. I keep attempting to ride as normal hoping its a hiccup and it bogs down to the point of shutting off at the stop sign.
I didn't know what to think. Maybe the enriched gas from shell isn't marketing and my poor baby didn't want any. Maybe she's too hot. I pull over a car wash to lightly most her with water. Hoping it help. It did.....sort of. It bogged a bit as I left And cleared itself up in a few blocks.
I will be taking the GROM to Honda service so there's record of this behavior. I just had to go through this with a stupid ruckus. Definitely don't want my brand new GROM doing this.
Any clues???
