2022 Honda Grom Performance Mods! | DHM Cam / Intake / ECU flash

[@CharlesManch]

the mini drag races look hilariously fun!!!!

[@rrazote2279]

You shouldn't need premium gas, unless you're running higher compression piston. Mid-grade should be fine. When you did the reflash, was there an option to raise the RPM limit? I know there was an option on the previous gen Grom/Monkey and I raised mine to 9750. Block tires are going to be sketchy at higher speeds. Changing the front sprocket down will give you better acceleration and the cost of top speed.

[@aeror115]

The machine looks nice Love the look

[@colbyclark2479]

You need to go 1 tooth bigger in the rear because in 5th gear its stopping at 8,000RPM. If you go +1 in the rear you will be able to rev out 5th gear more resulting in higher top end and also a little bit for quickness through all the gears. Best of both worlds plus you will be able to use those leftover RPM from 5th gear!

[@Kilt_Camera_and_Carry]

very cool grom build!

[@StayBased1]

This kinda seems like my experience with my 2019 Grom. After doing stage 1 (exhaust, air box, ECU flash) it didn't add as much top end as I'd hoped but it made the bike alot quicker to redline which was really all it needed to make it perfect for marauding around the city

[@rrazote2279]

On the last gen 2018-2021 Groms the best (bang for the buck) mods are intake, exhaust, TB cam, and ECU reflash with RPM raised to 10,000. You should see at least 3 HP increase. Going down to 14 tooth front sprocket will give you better acceleration at the cost of top speed. I easily reached mid 70's on my 21 Monkey. Things can get sketchy on the stock tires, so be careful at speeds over 64.

[@charliesmith874]

@@rrazote2279 is 10k rpm safe for stock heads n valves etc?

[@rrazote2279]

@@charliesmith874 From the forums, to other Monkey/Grom owners, I've been told up to 10k RPM is fine. Past that and there's a chance of the valves floating. There's a valve kit you can buy for under $100 that can fix that problem, but at 9750 that engine is screaming, so I dont know that anyone would want to push the engine past 12k (that's the limit I've heard people set the RPM with the valve kit). You'll definitely want to use top grade oil and change sooner. I used Motul and changed every 2000-2500 miles. Heat can kill these little engines fast, so I would recommend an oil cooler and oil pump upgrade.

[@charliesmith874]

@@rrazote2279 ah right cheers mate, hopefully getting a grom next month so yeah just looking into my options to squeeze a few more horsepower out of it haha

[@terryoler1935]

Nice mods. Have you noticed any difference in fuel economy? Will the cam hasten engine wear? I am looking for 2023 Grom right now. I am 75 so the Grom is about my speed.

[@willyhamster]

with greater performance comes with a loss of fuel economy, but the economy is so good the begin with that it doesn’t make much of a difference, you lose 10-20 miles of range maximum

[@gregspears9022]

I gained mpg with intake exhaust and tune. I dont have to ride it as hard to get up to speed so that helps

[@chrississon2646]

Looks like you woke it up some, thanks for the review

[@TE_53349]

bit late but i have the new voge r125. man, that bike really picks up after 7k rpm. after break in, the odometer resets and goes to 0 miles then lets you use all 12k rpm. speedo reads 75mph, a true 71mph from gps

[@89foxguy]

I love my 2022 Grom. I too did DHM tune with chimera intake set up. Over winter I plan on doing the cam.

How does it feel with intake/exhaust/tune vs stock? Like acceleration and top speed I'm keen on doing it!

[@89foxguy]

@@ReeceCoza it feels a lot more responsive and definitely noticeable difference. Top speed is increased for sure. Downhill I saw 80mph but that most likely wasn't spot on but can say I was moving.

I must be doing something wrong. I got my ECU flashed from DHM and see almost no difference. A little more power in 4th gear. I have a cheap iStunt exhaust, MNNTHBX intake and a 14t front sprocket. DHM recommends taking the baffles out of the exhaust. I have an aftermarket baffle in because the exhaust was just too damn loud. I'm wondering if I remove it will it make a big difference.

@@TalonSei Nice, maybe some power adding wouldn't be as bad as previously thought.

@@TalonSei My completely stock Grom shows 141.2 mpg. That's a pretty good decrease, but imo, well worth it.🤙

Knobby tires take down the mpg more than anything.

[@moremoney2]

Just did the first oil change on my stock 2022 Grom. 541 miles with an average 169.7 mpg. Top speed is about 57mph. Bought it to take in my van when I go camping. If I have a need for speed I will get on my R1. It gets around 38mpg and will easily go 170+.

[@zackpoor5609]

Do u know if the procircuit exhaust made for the 2nd gen would fit on this new model?

[@blanquitodjj]

Do you think if you had less knobby tires, you’d go a little faster on roads?

[@DHMotoring]

Absolutely, street tires are worth a few MPH easily, not just because of being smooth, but also because they weigh a bit less. 71mph on knobbies is pretty legit!

[@TalonSei]

Maybe a mile or 2 faster

[@RutgerJonaker]

@@TalonSei What tires do you guys have ?

[@TalonSei]

Kenda big blocks

[@btankful]

I noticed no difference (in top speed) between the Kenda 761 (50/50) and Maxxis M6024 (knobbies), so I put the Maxxis back on because it was more planted in gravel. Maybe there's more difference between real street tires, like Power Pures and knobbies.

[@johnw65]

My 6'3"- 190 lb son has an old 4spd Grom. He could go faster in 3rd than he could in 4th! So, he got a new drive sprocket that's 1 tooth smaller, and WOW! His Grom will now do 64 on the flat and 69 with a tailwind! I got to ride it and 69 on a Grom is lotsa fun!

[@crazylife6319]

next time, zip tie your cam chain to the sprocket

[@akustaka]

Running 91 pump octane is pointless unless you physically are changing the compression ratio, installing the cam may of affected the compression but your friend running 91 on a stock grom is silly.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

Where I live, the only ethanol-free fuel is 91 "premium"... the rest have 5-10% ethanol, which has less energy than gasoline, so you can get a small performance increase by going ethanol-free.

[@akustaka]

@@Thirsty_Fox That's actually been proven false.... You wouldn't get necessarily a "performance increase" but instead "increased mpg" because the computer would realize there is unburnt gasoline (energy) in the exhaust via the 02 sensor. Look up a video by the channel called "Project Farm" where he ran high test gas vs low test, the high test only lasted like 2 seconds longer than low test in a generator with a light plugged in and running while having a watt meter on the output of the generator. Needless to say, everything was within the margin of error. I will repeat myself, "running 91 pump gas in a vehicle not designed for it is wasting money", unless your engine can properly ignite the higher octane you cannot properly burn it. Best case scenario as you said ethanol free has a little bit more energy, in which the computer of your vehicle will notice the excess "energy" in the exhaust and adjust the injection of gasoline accordingly, you will not get more "performance" but more "mpg" instead. Just because the "potential energy" is there does not mean your compression can properly ignite it. Worse case scenario you waste money, and force your catalytic converted to work harder, thus lowering its lifespan.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

@@akustaka Believe what you like, but there's definitely a benefit of not having ethanol in your fuel. I wish all fuel grades didn't have it but alas. Another reason to avoid ethanol beyond mpg and performance is that ethanol is hygroscopic and retains water, which is especially bad for carbureted bikes, but even FI bikes that are left sitting any length of time. Most modern engines can adapt for the fuel used and make timing adjustments for optimization.

[@Speedpunk650]

@@Thirsty_Fox First time I filled up my grom's tank I put premium in my gas tank. High octane gas gave me bad performance. My Grom was choking and shit. I watched a video on YT on how to fill up a Grom and the guy said to use 91 octane gas. That was a mistake. You're full of shit.

[@Speedpunk650]

And for the record I bought a brand new stock Grom. These minibikes arent designed for high octane gas and it gives worse performance. Read your owner's manual.
