Honda Grom - EVERYTHING You Need to Know

[@Steven-kc7id]

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!

[@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!

[@Skittlez981]

I just confirmed my deal to get a 2018 grom and I’m honestly so excited for it it’s my first bike and it looks so cool. A grom has been my dream bike for years now and now it’s finally becoming a reality.

[@craftman780]

I'm definatly thinkin' about buying one, (I don't even own a motor vehicle in general) and was smiling ear to ear every time your group was on screen. You guys looked like y'all were having lots of fun :3

[@TrackMonkey327]

Nice video. I'm taking a basic rider course (as a refresher after 5 years off from riding) and my school bike is a Grom. It's awesome. I can't believe how much fun it is to ride.

[@CTGromer]

Dude they really are fun right? Enjoy! Thanks for commenting.

[@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.

@@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:)

Just purchased my first new car, and first car in general, and chose one that is extremely reliable to get me to work every week. I own a e-bike and used to actually ride it to work, and in the past I used to ride BMX. I've wanted a motorbike for a long time, but wanted something that would just be fun to ride around and would put a smile on my face, as well as something I can customize to suit me, and the Grom seems like it will fit the bill. I just need to get my endorsement and eventually license and I'll definitely be buying one of the 2022 models, they have a oil filter and I love the way the white one is set up and they are very reliable, exactly what I'm looking for.

@@CTGromer I bought it yesterday! $2000 and it was a matte grey 2018 with 2500 miles. It had the flush-mount blinkers, fender delete, red shorty levers, and he gave me a new back tire since the old one is pretty dull. I road 50 miles the first day in total haha, I love it and would make the same choice again

@@2NinjaTwins dude thats a screamin deal!!! Congrats!

The "haters will always say" bit sounded way to personal 2:38

[@CTGromer]

It might be! Hahaha, I should've said, "based on real events" Thanks for commenting!

[@user-kp8hx1mf8i]

@@CTGromer Forgot you often respond to messages! The bit was accurate and added to the videos entertainment, so I think it was solid. There are many hardcore Harley riders in the area, the grom sort of goes against what Harley's classically stood for. Fun to ride though

[@BriceTooNice]

used or new hmm

[@CTGromer]

Used in my opinion, more of a bargain depending on your local area. At this point, I might just wait for the 2021!

[@nakchannel7821]

very nice.

[@CTGromer]

You're comment is nice. Thank you

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!

im 6'4 and about to buy a grom for fun and for commuting 10 miles each way to work... that red charger in the pic is eating me alive in gas money lol

[@samviskocil9423]

Do you find it comfortable to ride at 6'4

[@angelusmortis3256]

@@samviskocil9423 idk and wont know i have since moved away from becoming part of the grom community for right now... ive moved towards a dual sport... all the same fun and shenanigans with being able to go on the highway from factory... not to mention i need bigger saddle bags and luggage racks to haul my stuff to and from work...

[@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!

[@trent4924]

Can you daily a grom

[@jseden]

The low risk thing is kind of a myth.. much like people thinking that 50cc things are safer. I almost bought a grom but it was going to by my only vehicle so I went for a rebel250 for half the price. Definitely a little less fun but it's also got twice the engine and is a little more reasonable on the highway while being even easier to work on.

[@CTGromer]

Rebel is a reliable bike that will get you from point A to point B every time with easy maintenance, congrats!

[@jseden]

@@CTGromer I've had it for about a year now.. 6k on my watch without any issues. Would definitely recommend for a no frills commuter. It's unlikely I'll sell it, it's just a great thing to keep around. Will probably Bob it out at some point.

[@CTGromer]

@@jseden That's awesome man, as long as you're riding and enjoying it thats all that matters, merry christmas!
