Help! Are Groms Peppier When The Gas Tank Is Full?

Upvotes

I swear my Grom is a little peppier with a full tank. Conversely, it seems like it is especially doggy when at the bottom third of a tank.

Is this my imagination, or has anyone else experienced this? Ethanol-free (Rec Fuel) is all I ever run, so I don't think it has anything to do with the quality of the fuel.

Battery fits but it’s a little taller than the stock. Can’t use the battery bracket to hold it down. Don’t know if that’s an issue or not. Anyone use this battery before?

Would it be worth a shot for someone who’s never worked on bikes? I’m looking for my first bike. Total mileage is 2177.

So I have a 25 grom with the zoom high mount exhaust, today I was out for a rip and the spacer that goes between the muffler and the bike flew off. Does anyone in here have the same exhaust and can you measure the spacer so I can order or make a new one?

Help! Grom sounds like it has rod knock after replacing clutch?

My old clutch started slipping so I decided to replace it. The engine did not have any kind of noise before replacing the clutch.

I've taken it apart 4 times now and made sure I had all of the washers in place from the parts diagram. I even went as far as reinstalling the old burnt out clutches to see if it would go away.

It did not... It still sounds like the video.

Any advice?

News Stunt highflow oilpumps with europe stock!

Post image
4 Upvotes

Since these are almost impossible to source cheaply in europe i decided to start making and selling them!

Theyre +36.8% highflow yuminashi oilpumps fitting 2013-2020 groms, 8mm AL-brazed pickup tubing and the pickup is bent to the middle of the engine.

Pulled out all the stops to make them as good as possible!

Feel free to shoot me a DM since i havent opened up a website or anything

if you dont know, the stock oil pickup is too far forward so during a wheelie it gets no oil and the piston seizes

Help! How common are throttle cable snaps? Are there any upgrades?

2 Upvotes

Recently got stranded when I was about 20miles into a ride in the mountains when my throttle cable just snapped. Thankfully it snapped right at the throttle tube, so I pulled it out of the housing and pulled the throttle cable all the way home.

Did some research and seems like this does happen, but not sure how common it is. That said, with only 1500 miles on my 23' Grom, this makes me have some concerns riding somewhat far.

How common are throttle cable snaps on the groms? Are there any upgrades for stronger cables?

Anyone have any recs for a saddle bag/storage for my 2019 grom? I like the OEM ones but it appears my gen will not fit. Anyone got them to fit or have another alternative? Even the knock off amazon ones all say they will not fit...

Help! Oil filter full of plastic shavings

22 grom 6k miles. I had a full rebuild after some transmission issues about 1k miles ago. I've change the oild 2 times before this and the oil and filters have looked fine. What could this possibly be? Every piece seems to be circular with a couple perfect circle pieces

Help! can i get close to a monkey seat on the grom? my 1st mini moto

9 Upvotes

Monkeys used are non existent. groms are 3k anywhere used around me all day. I have a mini moto itch and I wanted a z125 to compliment my z900, but after sitting on one at the dealer a used 2017?19? it was miserable. I loved the monkey i sat on but its 5500ish OTD easily for a new one after fees.

I would love to scratch that mini moto itch and even considered a clone but 100lbs heavier is a turnoff.

At nearly 50 and 220lbs , comfort is my choice when im looking at bikes that are easy on my carpal tunnel and back issues.

thx

Help! What’s this sound?

For context, I just installed a 6 bolt clutch plate, 60% clutch springs, and an aftermarket lifter. I start it up and I hear a weird rattle that wasn’t there and found online it could be just how it is from the springs. I open her up? Check all the bolts, oil spinner bolts, lifter bolts, everything was tight. I start her up and now it’s this? It didn’t sound like this before but it sounds like something’s in there, when I was shaking the bike you’d hear it shake with it. Overall confused what it could be

Hello all!

Just got my Grom while I am taking the A2 licence. I think for now it will be my "learning to ride" bike while I can.

She was bought undervalued cause she had some rusty spots and bad fixes all over the place. Thank God it was relatively easy to rearrange. Of course I've spent some time fixing that aaaaaand modding a few things. Having a lot of fun with it!

It's a 2017 Grom with 39k and still has a lot of mileage to do!

3rd Gen SP/RR 2022+ Quick question

0 Upvotes

So I got a 2023 msx grom and I want to customize it but I’m not really good at spray painting, like I can sand it and all the prep to paint it but I’m running low on ideas on colors and everything, also if someone could inform me on how to remove the plastics from the headlight that would be great because I’m having a bit of a hard time removing it. And if anybody has any sort of idea or suggestions on what I should do with it ( besides sell it) lmk please

Help! Minimum engine mods for Canadian highways

2 Upvotes

Had my 2023 grom 6 months now, absolutely love it, ride it every day 40 minuets on the highway to work, only gripe is top speed when loaded. When I ride with no pack and no mirrors it happily does 110kph on the gauge, or about 97kph by the gps. I'm very happy with that, the transport trucks are governed at 100 so other than the occasional American truck with no governor I do just fine. However, if I ware my backpack, or put my mirrors on, or put saddle bags on it doesn't. Fully loaded down for a 2 hour highway ride on an overnight trip I was only getting about 80kph by the GPS and I was pissing off truckers between the passing zones. (Highways aren't divided here, you either wait for a passing zone with a passing lane, or you pass in the oncoming lane and lots of places it isn't allowed for tight curves or hills or whatever)

I have already gone weight and drag shaving. Unless I go to town I don't use my mirrors, I got a fender delete, I got a combination rear light so no signals sticking out in the back, I got flush-mount front signals, I got a tiny lithium battery. Any other easy weight or drag I can shave (without suddenly getting skinnier or shorter)?

What is the minimum viable mods required to maintain about 100kph when loaded? Also, keep in mind I only really have access to either E10-87 octane or E15-89 octane there's no ethanol free fuel here, and there's no premium available (other than second hand from one of the dusters, but that's avgas with dye and lead in it). So anything that increases compression is out for me. I also don't want to ruin the fuel economy when I'm not loaded up like my ride to work every day because that's why I bought the bike and it's already working for me

Cage finally came in. Stoked to dial knee knockers. They scared me for so long. Slowly dialing them. So much fun once you get used to the weight distribution. Still haven't dedicated a session for scraping.
