Honda Grom Clutch Replacement (How-To), Stiffer Springs, Oil Change, Oil Spinner Clean

I destroyed the clutch on my 2017 Honda Grom 125cc about a month ago. I replaced it, changed the oil, and upgraded to stiffer springs. Finally got around to putting this together. I'm not a mechanic and don't claim to know what I'm doing so watch and follow at your own risk. However, I did learn a few tricks and tips, so hopefully this is of use to some of you. At minimum, you can see what tools I used for the job. Enjoy!

Just did the exact same thing, your vid + the factory manual = Grom is back to lifting the front tire. :)

[@AverageCarGuy]

Great video. Only thing I'd say is please don't use an impact to tighten the bolts. You need to torque those down very gently to the right spec. But otherwise you did amazing.

Having issues getting my cover to fit back on. Wish you would’ve showed that

My 2015 clutch is slipping my buddy has a Barnett clutch kit for a 2017 would that fit my 2015 grom clutch ?

[@xCanuckfan16x]

hi there im wondering how you get the clutch cable off? I've never done this before and the vid didn't cover how you get the clutch cable notch off? it is very simple or could you explain that? did you need pliers? THanks brother!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hey there, I don't recall exactly the steps I took. It's been a while. But I remember it being pretty dang easy as far as that part goes. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Thanks for checking the vid!

[@GoonRides]

16:55 does the pressure plate go in first or does the clutch plate (the clutch plate is the one with the teeth, and the pressure plate is the flat one)

[@terrencetoussaint4709]

its better to watch people like you cause you would more understand the problems we may face

[@tannguyen-dg8su]

i know its an old video but can u change the clutch springs without taking off the spinner?

[@povadventures3740]

what's the torque value of the clutch cover? Thanks

[@raptorgamer8878]

❤ thank you

[@2NinjaTwins]

How'd you burn out your clutch? What really happens when it's being burnt? I'm curious because I have a feeling mine may be on it's way out but I'm not sure. I ordered the 60% springs and lifter plate, so I'll be able to see when I'm inside, but I'm curious as to the affects of burning it up. Great video!

[@thomascummings1524]

with a clutch thats blowing you will feel slip in ecceleration (loss of tourque)

[@richmsx125]

My bike is making some noise, taking cove off i noticed the spinner itself move in and out on the shaft quite a bit is that normal

[@91voltron]

F**kin awesome video very confident changing my clutch now. Thanks 🙏

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Nice! Glad it helped. If I can pull it off, anyone can! Lol. Check out attention deficit as well. He had some good vids regarding this. Good luck, brotha!

[@91voltron]

Jon's Moto Garage It was a good video but he skipped a lot of the finer details that made me nervous to do but you nailed the points I needed.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Heck yeah!

[@180closetskateshop1]

I need help I’ve followed the steps and my clutch lever has no tension at all messed with adjusters etc any advice ? Is the cable stretched

[@Yonex333]

Nice vídeo, can you please inform what was the torque you've used in the external case bolts? I've broken one, i accidental use to mutch torque!

[@Bryzenn]

HELP! I installed a after market 5 disc clutch, new clutch plate and springs. After putting everything back together I’m UNABLE to get the crank case cover to line up. It’s like it’s binding around the bearing for the oil spinner and the rod under the clutch basket. If anyone has any help for me please let me know!!

[@speezy1414]

at least the neighbors won't call the cops on you because it just sounds like a weed eater hahaha

[@tayassu78]

Awesome! Thank you 😎

[@GBodyJosh]

No crescent wrench in sight

[@tristantrevino8004]

Anybody else flinch when he used the impact or just me??

[@jamesarneson7769]

Why is it that you didn't add the extra clutch bolts when replaced the clutch springs and clutch cover. I know honda only gives you three but when your adding heavier clutch springs in my mind its all ways safer to add more bolts to give the clutch better clutch pressure. IF I were you id order three more bolts and add them real quick. Very simple too do it.

[@wheressu]

What bars are on the grom?

[@anthonyvo6207]

All neatly organized and dint got the common sense to put aluminum foil over the exhaust

[@chilid1ck13]

Hey, you have a link to your handlebar setup?

[@speezy1414]

they look like pro taper contour fat bars (1 1/8)

[@JP-eb2hy]

Hey Jon I am about to do this same job with my grom as well (stiffer springs) and I couldn't help but notice your oil pump. Is that the stock one still? I see you rippin big wheelies on it and was wondering if it is really necessary to swap out for a modded one? My wheelies aren't as rad as yours yet but I am slowly progressing. Have you had any oil deprivation issues with the grom? Thanks again for sharing a good D.I.Y on how to do this job.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I havent done the oil pump mod but would recommend it. I intentionally keep my wheelies short(ish) distance because of it.

[@JP-eb2hy]

@@JonsMotoGarage For sure Jon, yeah man you are right I don't wanna have to send it to a shop to get it rebuilt just because I did not cash out for a $70 😅

[@chrisstugots2]

Do you torque down the clutch lifter plate??

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I dont recall to be honest.

[@thewongster99]

Are you running a stock sprocket?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, stock sprocket.

[@emmanuelandrade1418]

How u fix ur Honda grom if it cuts off when shift ???

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hmmmm... not sure on that one.

[@mrwaerialphotography9325]

does that when the kick stand is down, check the switch there

[@davidsimard5700]

What spring rate are those? And what’s your sprocket set up?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Stock sprockets. I wanna say 50% stiffer springs but not certain.

[@davidsimard5700]

Jon's Moto Garage ok thanks. Are you considering changing sprockets?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

@@davidsimard5700 Nah, I've been good with the stock set up. Are you thinking about swapping for the wheelie game or another reason?

[@davidsimard5700]

Jon's Moto Garage ya for wheelies. But I’m at 14/ 37 now and can’t really pop it up that easy. Especially in 2nd. So I’m thinking of going to a 35. But also thinking clutch could be going out. It’s got 6,333 miles and springs are 60% stronger

[@JonsMotoGarage]

@@davidsimard5700 Gotcha. Yeah, I haven't messed with gearing or looked into it much. I've yet to figure out second gear sit downs but haven't spent much time on them either. Sometimes I pull it off by sheer luck. Lol. I'm better shifting from first to second or doing second gear stand ups.

[@andrewwilliamhorton789]

You didn’t torque anything 🤔
