Just bought a 23 Grom for my first bike and I finally am able to get over the fear of going faster than 25mph. This is the perfect first bike as it is light and helps us with fear tackle them!

[@bigbadsanta7003]

I looking to pick up my first Grom this summer, this video and your mods for Groms has been extremely insightful into what I needed to know going forward! Thank you 🙏 for these videos

[@CTGromer]

That's what I'm here to do is create content based on what I've learned about the grom, thanks for taking the time to watch, I really appreciate it, let me know when you get a grom!

[@CharlieSuangka]

Love My Grom, and you hit a bunch of real good points on this one! However, we do 100-200 mile trips occasionally, and it's still super fun. 5-7 hour "Days' on the bike. Most fun bike I've owned in my whole life. Great "2nd" bike, and "mini bike fun" for sure. The power is perfect for what it is. A few mods, get your Tinker On, and it's a bit more fun. The constant talks/conversation with folks wanting to know about them get some getting used too. :) Probs, not a great "First bike". And agree for sure, Packs of Mini Motos are better. The old guy was right too! You can "bone out" through the grass, fields, and parking lots that other bikes won't do easily. I've put 14,000 miles on my Grom in about 18ish months, lots of back roads, Burn outs, Skids, and it "lives in the red line". We use our Rev Limiter as a Horn! :) So Fun! I have never been a "wrench" guy, and have done all the service, mods, and upgrades to my Grom myself. Oil ever 1000-1500 also. Did the Kitaco cover/ Spinner Delete. Got the DHMotor TB cam and Reflash, SO GOOD, Highly Recommended, great bang for your Mini Moto Bucks. :) Header with the stock muffler, The "Radiator tube" intake tube mod, with a UNI Airfilter (40 bux total) Re-Geared - 37t, With Speed Corrector, get the 12 Oclock Labs one for only $75.... LOL. :) and it'll do 60 mph easy now, pulls up the front easier, still tops out around 71mph with a tail wind, downhill, or Draft. :) Cheers Gromers!

[@CTGromer]

Thanks for adding your own review, story and mod list! I like your mods! Couldn't agree more with all of your observations about your grom too. Its crazy I was never a guy who liked to wrench, but when I got my grom, I was just curious and before I knew it I was doing all the maintenance myself and loving it!

[@rickymahoney6664]

Very informative video and I like hearing what u don’t like. It’s easy to see what’s fun about them but I won’t know the bad things without hearing from others experiences so thank you for that.

[@CTGromer]

Really glad you enjoyed the video... OG groms are the best!

[@Mark-gk1bu]

Thanks for taking the time to make this very informative video. I have one concern though, and it's about replacing the oil screen and spinner with the paper element filter. While it is much more convenient to access and simply change a paper filter, engines that come from the manufacturer with the screen/spinner oil cleaning system generally have high volume low pressure lubrication systems. Those engines typically have a roller bearing crankshaft and the oil pump is designed to "bathe" the bearings with lots of oil, instead of force feed a thin film of oil between the bearings and crankshaft journals of a plain bearing type engine. So, in essence, small roller bearing engines generally don't produce enough oil pressure to force contaminated oil through the tiny pores of a paper element filter. It might work for a while, but in the long term it could potentially shorten the lifespan of the engine.

[@CTGromer]

I appreciate you looking out and the good explanation. Fortunately, the Kitaco kit comes with a more capable oil pump to combat the paper element. Mine's had no issues for 4,000 miles.

[@Mark-gk1bu]

@@CTGromer I wasn't aware the kit came with a it's own oil pump designed to compensate for the paper filter. Thanks for the info.

[@DoRC]

@@CTGromer it's good. I did a bunch of comfort mods (gel seat insert, lower rear 1", bar risers, thicker grips, rubber pegs) so it's a lot nicer to ride than stock. Vibrations are low and it's got enough power for me. I'm at an age where I just don't have any interest in getting tickets anymore:)

Nice video CT Gromer, Although you didnt mention that it has no gear indicator which can be purchased seperately + fitted which as a new rider I feel is important to have.

[@greghatfield4216]

Thanks so much. I am looking to get my first Grom. Admittedly I have shamelessly been a Metropolitan Scooter rider for about 5 years now. A friend gave it to me who could not ride anymore. I have taken it on vacation on a carrier and loved getting around ..... slowly. But, feel in love with the first Grom I saw a few weeks ago. It seems to be a perfect step up for what I use it for. Did you do the drone work?? I'm a licensed sUAS pilot, just wondering.

[@CTGromer]

Yes- did all my own drone work with a Mavic Pro! The Honda Metropolitan is a perfect little ride for in town. A grom would be a very fun step up from a scooter. its gets you into manually shifting through the gears, more speed and way more fun in my opinion.

[@Adam.297]

Hell yea. Almost 2 weeks and 150 miles on the Grom I picked up and can only complain about the weather being shitty enough to not feel comfortable riding as a new rider.

I see you said about the Grom groups but seems everyone is early college age. Other question I have is do you feel like there's much vibration or buzz in the handlebars?

Pricing is insane lately here in California, thats for sure. I'm 34 and there are some guys older than me in our group, there's some vibration in the handlebars, not too much.

[@CTGromer]

You're comment is nice. Thank you

[@tyvonscott5890]

Good thing I love anything on 2 wheels. I used to be a gsxr owner...my baby was stolen last Sunday 😔. Grom was next but discouraged now

[@CTGromer]

Sorry to hear about the GSXR, that really sucks. Why are you discouraged?

[@Tenyearslater13]

Use to race motocross and I always say I wish I still had a pit bike this would be perfect

[@CTGromer]

Its like a pit bike in a lot of ways- get one if you can!

[@chiefhashish5634]

I wanna buy yours man!!!

[@CTGromer]

I may sell it one day, but no time soon man, Pick one up used and build it out just like mine!

[@darioconcepcionjr2372]

I agree with you 100% I own 2019 Honda fury and a 2013 ninja sx 1000 I love to ride them. Enjoy them very much but I also own a 2018 grom I'm a OG guy 51 not young but not old. The.fury makes me feel gangster the ninja like Miguel Duhamel. Now my ground puts a smile on my face from ear to ear Makes me feel like 15 again On my Schwinn sting ray I can care less what people think or have to say Folks are always going to have their opinion you can't stop that but I also have mine Live life have fun to the fullest Someone Says It's a clown bike there right it is a clown bike .you go to the Circus and a clown makes you laugh and smile you have fun right like I said enjoy life live life have fun i love to grom 🎪🛵🛴🚲

[@CTGromer]

Outstanding advice, I'm glad to hear i'm not the only one having the best time on the grom! You're right though, people care way too much what others think. Thanks for the comment!

Awesome scooter

[@CTGromer]

It really is. Thanks for watching!

[@jean-philippehamel7026]

Nice video. Is the honda Monkey popular in the US ?

[@CTGromer]

It's getting there, still not nearly as popular as the grom, I think they're super cool. Waiting for them to get cheap on the used market and I'll grab one!

[@sonny_z900]

I had the first msx125/grom in 2013, sold it in 2014. Made a replica H2C of it. I wish I didn't trade it for a MT-07/FZ07 but the CBR600FS. A new MSX125 is coming soon , maybe I get that one.

[@CTGromer]

The new one is going to be awesome! I'll for sure grab one!

[@abbytailss]

ah! this video was super helpful im a newbie into the world of motorcycling, but i have been doing research about getting my first bike :) i would prefer to get a naked bike over a sports bike because i am not ready to face death in a sportsbike lol, plus i have never ridden in my life before! i want a bike that is low in displacement, and a lot of youtube videos recommend the grom for a beginner :) im actually going to the dealership to check the bike out in person and i can't wait! any other advice i should consider?

[@CTGromer]

I think you're well on your way, I totally agree that a naked style bike is a much easier bike to learn on. The grom is a great one, a CB300R is another good choice. My advice would be to ride as much as you can, build your skills, purposely practice fast and low speed turns, and make time to practice low speed maneuvers, emergency braking. Most importantly, keep your head on a swivel, look before you change lanes, and anticipate cars doing the worst thing possible all the time, and have a back up line ready incase they do. Good luck!

[@mcbrite]

More expensive but mitigates a lot of the downsides of the Grom while even ADDING to the fun factor: 701 or other supermotos!

[@CTGromer]

I agree! I've got a DRZ400SM when I want to ride the groms big brother with better suspension!

[@Adam-wt5id]

I drive a miata so i do t mind people thinking im slow. I want something enjoyable. I want to start with a grom and when im ready id like a gsxr but i dont see myself letting go of a grom if i had one. Like you said, its just for fun, dont take it so seriously

[@888jackflash]

I've been riding for 50 years, have owned 27 large bikes, Touring, Trackdays, everything... and I am getting PULLED into the Grom Spiral! I'm old and fat, but I still ride hard, and would love to have a Grom for around-town antics. Obvious mods would start with spring rate improvements, for a 270 pound Boomer; I change the springs on all my bikes.

[@tmg1262]

I love mine! It’s like having an adult hot cycle

[@CTGromer]

I don't know what a hot cycle is but I'm going to take your word for it!

[@karterbessey7956]

The bike at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="297">4:57</a> is really cool, kinda want one

[@CTGromer]

That bike and that dude are cool, too bad they never come out to the rides anymore! Thanks for always supporting Karter!

[@karterbessey7956]

@@CTGromer I've got some special stuff coming for the bike soon, I'll start going on the grom rides again so I can show everyone😉

[@Ricardo_Moto]

I'm mostly a enduro bike rider (mostly ktm500) I weigh 95kg, 185cm. Am I too big to be able to ride a Grom? looks like so much fun!
