[@davehowie03]

I appreciate all the referencing to the service manual. It’s way more important than some garage wrench heads would lead you to believe.

[@BlockheadMoto]

I always try and buy one for bikes I'll be working on. I call it the bikes Bible, haha

[@davehowie03]

BLOCKHEAD oh for sure. The manual is always smarter than I am. It knows exactly what to do.

[@therealrealshocker]

@@BlockheadMoto where can I purchase the service manual that you have for my 2019 SF Grom?

[@WildmanYino]

I found the link I posted above in a grom forum, I downloaded drop box so I could just have it on my phone easier for the future but you can look at it online too without downloading

[@zifu_]

If you read the service manual, they don't recommend you clean the oil spinner/screen every oil change. It says to clean the engine strainer screen and oil centrifugal filter every 7500 miles. Initial service also is at 600 miles or 1 month, then every 2500 miles or 6 months.

[@edgufler1122]

Yes !! This will be a very nice series. A Honda Grom How to. A lot of people will need this series on KZbin. At some point in time down the road maybe do a Video of all your upgrades and modifications you did to yours cause it looks great. Thank you for this video Blockhead. This the best 2018 Honda Grom Oil Change video I have seen.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Hope that it helps many people out there as previous How To videos have! I'll def have to do a walkaround video sometime soon. Few more things left to do! Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for the support!

[@edgufler1122]

I watched the video and it is great and thorough. I love the way you Custom your Grom

[@djohnson3678]

yes, he does an amazing job. better than factory . looks like a bike from a video game . . . . i wanna say borderlands?????? almost, mabe???? but still radically awsome.

[@edgufler1122]

Yes like he graduated from the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute. He could fly through that.

[@williamb.9110]

Humble beginnings! Just got a GROM for my Son. Good step-by-step!

[@Mwhitehouse99]

Great vid, gonna go ahead & change the oil on my 18 here tomorrow. 💪🏼🏍

[@iconacy]

I just put a full quart in. It’s what it calls for. And it makes it really easy. You put the entire qt in check levels it’s perfect everytime

[@AVSalyer]

Can't wait to get a Grom for all the fun I could have!

[@Tommyvon]

Great vid thanks for posting. I do have to nit-pick.. Even with the block of wood under the side stand, theres no way the Grom is level. You'll get an inaccurate read on the dipstick and overfill. Overfilling is very bad. One of those stands you pointed out is better to use to get an accurate read. Or i just sit on the bike and reach down and read. Sucks but because the dip stick is so short, it actually matters.

[@bencheee3099]

Awesome video man! Thank you 🙏🔥

[@baham9217]

How did you clean the oil screen? Besides what you showed, did you rinse it in gasoline, or another cleaning solvent? Or was it just with your fingers and paper towel? Thanks ✌️

[@supertopsecretagentman5833]

Hey if you don't mind me asking, what kind of tires do you have on the grom? I'm itching to get rid of the stock vee rubbers!...anyways, love the the videos man keep em coming!

[@vorticosecomb]

Good stuff. Much appreciated, my man 🤙🏼

[@jumpjump18-70]

Hi! Do I need to clean the filter the first time? I havent ride it much! An answer would really help🙂 best regards

[@tvd1188]

Miss the grom content on your channel! I got interested in them thanks you to.

[@usernamemykel]

Do you have the "iffy neutral" problem and/or solved it? Thanks for the vid.

[@petecorran7686]

Thanks for the video. I'd love to get those knobby tires you have on your Grom. How do they do on the street?

[@crazykev75]

Your videos are great

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks Crazy Kev!

[@xXxXFALL3NXxXx]

What tires are you running on your grom?

[@chrisolson8640]

How do you check to make sure oil is getting to top end? Galley bolt?

[@bernieburnstein5590]

6000 miles on my grom never opened up the gear and changed the screen oil changed every 1000 miles still runs like a champ

[@Drive315]

my grom is just like this one, color and exhaust too... check it out on my channel !

[@justinhamilton9]

You did the work to take the cover off and didn't clean the spinner... Your wild!! I cleaned mine at 600 and it was FULL!, Also motul 10/40 cleans up a lot of the funky shifting on the Grom.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Damn, full at 600? Most other peoples that I saw wasn't that bad even at like 1500 miles. I'll have to give Motul 10/40 a try next oil change, thanks for the tip Justin!

[@CTGromer]

I was thinking the exact same thing! Why not just hit the spinner right quick! Oh well, Still a great maintenance video, thanks for taking the time!

[@a.b.4824]

Ack. Also need to mention that motor should be warm BEFORE draining the oil (maybe newbies do not know that). Also there is a Kitako cover I can suggest. You then don't have that spinner any more but a real oil filter you can easyly replace from outside. Anyway, thx for the video dude.

[@therealrealshocker]

@@a.b.4824 does the oil capacity change when you install the new cover/filter or is it still 1qt

[@JohnDoe-xq9yi]

What do you use to clean the spinner????

[@Unbound707x]

After first maintenance, How many miles for regulatory oil change?

[@casandracrawford6257]

Thank you for all your great how to videos. I have referenced and watched Your videos, for all the little mods I’ve done.. super thorough, super Helpful . Thank you

[@Drive315]

my grom is just like this one, color and exhaust too... check it out on my channel !

[@danteyamato4977]

How about Top 1 10W/40 oil for grom, and can maxima oil use to 2500km

[@JayMac3180]

Do you have a link to the knobby tires? Or name and size? Thanks in advance!

[@thebrokenrojin5916]

Awesome how to. Thanks for the quality content

[@wetzelatorps3]

Where did you get those tires?? I've been searching all over for a set of knobbys and can't find anything definitive.

[@Triippybird]

Wat size tools do you need to use

[@anthonymorales6980]

How did you clean the screen? Awesome video by the way!!

[@xaviermccloud4586]

What service manual is that because mine came with a small booklet.

[@emmanuelcruz2853]

Hey which stunt bar its that on the back of the bike??

[@thetruman231]

Where did you get your crash protection?

[@Firestorm637]

Nice video.

[@slytherinsheir11]

Can you change the oil without cleaning the screen?

[@Jaybiv]

please mention the sizes of sockets etc you are using???

[@Kristoagui001]

I put 1 qt and it’s not even touching the lower level? Also a little bit of smoke was coming off the crank case while idling

[@Triippybird]

wat size sockets do you need

[@unknownuser4044]

What service manual is this? Haynes ?

[@lilballer76031]

Is there an oil filter in the 2018 geom I can’t find the location

[@DileoFilms]

Mine won't come off i have no idea why. 2020. Removed 10 bolts and unhooked clutch cable as shown. Won't budge. Help!

[@sergiouvalli7122]

how did you take that clutch cable off so easy

[@anthonybranchflower4308]

Where can I get that service manual

[@yigitaydn5596]

if i dont need to clean the filter am i still need to unscrew all that :|

[@Spartanivori]

Would’ve been nice to know what socket sizes I need but it’s ok. Thanks for the vid

[@eldanimaton171]

It's synthetic oil?

[@joegarcia5611]

Can you explain the torque specs?

[@stevegraf191]

I can’t get the cover off. The silver piece has a bolt that has a lock on it.

[@TheAverageUSGamer]

Manual says the first service is to be done at 600 miles* also if you're trying to learn wheelies synthetic oil might not be the best choice. Grom has a wet clutch and synthetic oil wont have as much "grab" compared to conventional oil.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Might be a good excuse to wear out the stock clutch and get a new one, lol

[@TheAverageUSGamer]

BLOCKHEAD Stiffen those springs!!

[@djohnson3678]

xD good one .

[@djohnson3678]

@ Marcus Taylor . . . . so he can perform better wheelies??? . . . just a wild guess. if so , so much for comfort.

[@jake2772]

Wow way more work than the z125 oil change that’s crazy.

[@RandyC2393]

Good vid. Also just wanted to let you know, you forgot to hold the bike in an upright position while checking oil.

[@MichaelBiebersWorld]

12:34

[@nabsol3211]

Where do you buy a physical copy of the service manual? Thanks.

[@jamiebanyard1792]

Haynes have manuals for almost any vehicle, i buy one straight away when i get a different bike, having all the info to hand is invaluable. Around £20

[@Smallbore2wheels]

that chunk has to be from all them wheelies. lol joking aside that was a pretty big chunk

[@BlockheadMoto]

lol, it actually felt like a piece of paint, it wasn't metal. But yeah man, probably a lot of that from wheelies, haha

[@reallyoldfart6540]

I noticed you left the sliders off, I stripped a screw on mine, two small a hex size for the size of the threaded portion, and replaced the screws that came with it with beefier larger Allen wrench size (Fastenal, tell them what it's for, heat treated). I had the dealer do the first service, before I put sliders on it, but the second I found lots of goo in the spinner, one of those pro motion gear jammers works wonders for that little plate.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Yeah the sliders I actually retrofitted to fit this 2018 Grom, but they were made for a 2017 Grom. It was blocking me taking off the oil dip stick, so rather than deal w/ the headache, just removed it. I've since installed the ZabFab sub cage on the back to protect it a bit. I might get another set of sliders, we'll see!

[@CheekClapper69]

So where can I acquire that subframe thing behind the taillight ?

[@Drive315]

my grom is just like this one, color and exhaust too... check it out on my channel !

[@nleloggineverbrokeagain9922]

That’s a subcage for stunting

[@nleloggineverbrokeagain9922]

You can get it from solid stunts

[@speakersteve9586]

TQ specs on the side cover bolts?

[@3647Edd]

7 lbft

[@JOE-hu9qk]

Should of only put 0.8L in at the start then check the level and then added some more just as a precaution

[@Drive315]

my grom is just like this one, color and exhaust too... check it out on my channel !

[@pin3apple95]

What kind of crash protection are you running ?

[@3647Edd]

R&G , UK stuff!

[@aurisgomez8732]

if you could recommend a starter bike for someone 6'5 250, what would be your recommendations? great videos btw

[@djohnson3678]

get a dirt bike , a 110 cc [ a used one ] . to learn from so you wont be upset for dropping it. the 110 cc has a very good amount of power for someone that is 250. i should know, lol , but i have lost some weight. if there is a MSF school near you they have a dirt bike course that you can take, that should be everyone's first learning experience to being on a motorized 2 wheeler. the firs thing most people learn on a 2 wheeler is . . . . '' balance '' . if you can control that while barely in motion then being on a 2 wheeler will not be to much of a problem. do the msf course , it will do you good. . . i promise. it is not just once, you can take it anytime you need the feel to learn more. . . the more the better, as everyone should. what would be your recommendations?starter bike for someone 6'5 250? first thing is, what type of field [ style ] do you prefer : dirt roadway [ cruising , touring ] [ lone wolf or passenger ] highway [ touring, street bike ] [ lone wolf or passenger ] dual [ cross country, adventure ] [ lone wolf or passenger ] drag racing merely stating that because you want to learn how to be a safe but a kool kat with knowledge of how to CONTROL life on 2 wheels. your welcome bruh

[@davehowie03]

It honestly depends on your size. Most people say to stick between 250cc and 500cc. I’m 6’2” 250lbs and my first bike was a 750cc.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Auris Gomez, checkout this vid regarding starter bikes! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6Gud6iXrql8irs Glad you enjoy the vids, thanks for the support!

[@bodabodaguy3193]

Dude this music while high and being like”heh now I gotta do bike mechanics😏”

[@daveperez3557]

Link to the service manual ? Anyone ? Thanks in advance !

[@christiankdt9381]

Hope this helps for future references

[@stephenowens8627]

Same thing why do all that and not do the spinner 3 bolts maybe holding of for another vid mad like you said to do it so why didn’t you, on a first service 🤪

[@abraham7330]

Wait why can’t I just let the oil go just leave the screws in

[@TheJoshKarma]

I have milky oil what should i do blockheads?

[@ronthegrom3672]

Not a professional but I had it on my older bike and I was told it was water getting into the engine. Goodluck!

[@HuangHangLo]

Thats just condensation. Nothing to worry about. It goes away and comes back. Totally normal.

[@coryfisher2688]

If you saw such a large foreign object on the oil screen why wouldn’t you clean the oil spinner?

[@user-mq4xp1gq3q]

0:18 "it's incredibly easy"...lies. I've never seen an oil change that required such disassembly. I'm glad Honda abandoned this crappy design and started going with actual oil filters. Great video!

[@NickVetter]

After spilling all 32oz of oil today with my gallon jug I'll be investing in a better oil pan.

[@Chillingworth]

why tf would you use anything other than the oil the manual says it's not expensive at all... I get it...it's a honda engine it'll last forever yada yada but me personally, i'm going to be using the actual oil that was meant for the engine. why would they even bother making different types of oil if you could just interchange them whenever you feel like it?

[@coreyshortland2074]

Hey blockhead! Are you ever going to get a drz?

[@BlockheadMoto]

On the list for sure! But need a bigger garage before adding any more bikes to the stable. 5 bikes in a 1 car garage is pushing it already, haha

[@coreyshortland2074]

@@BlockheadMoto awesome!! Definitley go the SM better swing arm and forks :) i ride one my Insta is @corzajs check it out if u wanna, if not all g :) ride safe

[@djohnson3678]

those fragments on the filter screen is from the material from your clutch plates. i would have taken those three bolts out to check if there was any forigen loose material in it. . . just for safety. awsome video !!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Yeah I'll be opening it up next time around and doing a vid on it! 👍

[@KittyGirlTravelProductions]

How can you make an oil change video without even saying what size tools are needed.

[@HDBrider]

What's the bolt size?

[@drbbanjo5586]

Damnn people got dipsticks to check there oil… I didn’t get one with my 22 grom.. Lmaoo

[@crotchrocketsteveo3512]

dude you were supposed to check the bike while it was standing straight up and down not on the kickstand that was your only issue on your first oil dipstick check you likely had the correct amount of oil

[@ALFONZO784]

Dont even know why Im watching this as Ill never buy one, Ive ridden them fun bikes but Ill never get one because my size makes me look goofy on them lol, but great instructional video anyways 👌🏽

[@martymicfly5430]

Do you even know the difference in the oil one 10/40 actully a thicker oil only just for injustmeant for higer heats if you in that climate 10/30 is not as thick so it can get to parts of you engine quicker for when it needs it nothing to do with cleaning it lol

[@Nico_Ford23]

I like those thick meaty hands

[@kiwidude8931]

1st?

[@BlockheadMoto]

Almost!

[@ImCaducify]

Didn’t even show how to put the clutch cable back

[@GoonRides]

Your oil was on the low side because you didn’t thread the dipstick in
