Changing my Grom’s chain & sprockets
Рет қаралды 8,040
3 жыл бұрынWhat’s going on guys, welcome back to tapecknows and the last video for 2020!
I decided to change the sprockets and chain on my grom. I haven’t cleaned them since my ride in Salisbury when it got covered in mud. So I knew it was time.
The sprockets were still in good condition and just needs a good clean. I’m changing to a 428 chain & sprockets (14t front and 37t rear). It definitely picks up the acceleration and it’s easier to get the front wheel up.

I hope you guys enjoy the video! Please remember to like, share and subscribe 🏍💨💨Ride Safe and advanced happy new year!

Set it in geer to stop the spinning while tightening/untightening front sprocket. With wheel unpinned, you can remove the chain (just pick it up off the sprocket) and reinstall new while it's still linked whole.

Great video, love the angles of the shots and the included cleaning shots!! One thing I noticed though is you may want to pop that chain retention clip off and flip it around so the open end is facing the rear of the bike. It makes it less likely to catch on something and pop off, as the rotation is counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise).
@tapecknows Жыл бұрын
If you look again, it’s facing the correct way
@Rider46-69 Жыл бұрын
@@tapecknows ha, I do mine from the top of the bike so it looked backwards to me. I see now from the bottom is goes on the other way and "flips" over when the chain rotates to the top relative side of the sprocket. My bad. Carry on bro, lol.

Good stuff, thanks for posting. I'm surprised you didnt use any threadlocker or anti-seize on the axle. Also, did you tourque the sprockets? I'm not sure what the manual calls for there.
@HorsepowerHouse 2 ай бұрын
Not necessary to use Loc-Tite on the axle. Never has been on motorcycles. And, don't overtighten it, or you will deform the swingarm.

What’s the best sprocket for back tire. I have a 15T front sprocket with stock back tire sprocket right now. I want to change the back sprocket chain adjusters and chain all in one shot soon. And what are you using to clean in this vid?

See your video now. 👍 What would you recommend to climb hilly rocky muddy at time dirt roads? The 15T Front and 35T rear is quite sluggish for my environment. I got about the same tires as you and just want to be able to climb my rocky dirt roads gently but firmly. I'm not into crazy speed nor wheelies. I bought a 14T front and 36T rear (not yet installed). What would be the difference between what I bought and yours, 14T + 37T? Did I bought the wrong rear sprocket size? Questioning myself for a while now so your experience would be kindly appreciated. Thanks.
@tapecknows 2 жыл бұрын
I don’t think there’s much difference between 14/36 and 14/37. Maybe a 2mph increase in top speed for 14/36. But if you’re on rocky dirt, top speed probably not a priority.
@sirishabadsingh 2 жыл бұрын
@@tapecknows Many thanks. We also have superb wide tarmac hilly / mountain roads where we can ride fast so finally, what I chose seems good enough. I appreciated your input. And one last thing: Will changing only the front, from 15T to 14T would be enough for what I need? Or changing also the rear sprocket makes a big difference when driving hilly rocky dirty tracks? Your experience as dirt road Grom driver is really appreciated.

Chain master clip should be facing the other way mate. Should always be the opposite direction of travel to the bike so that they can’t get caught and come undone.

Actually haven’t I done it right? The rotation of the chain and wheels is anti-clockwise, so the open end of the clip is facing the opposite direction of travel?

No worries. Also another tip, when your doing your front sprocket bolts up put the bike in gear. It won’t keep spinning then👍🏼
