Slinging Lead 🤣. Probably accurate! Never thought of that! Thanks for commenting!

CT Gromer lol

No the modded one was faster because the credit card was lighter after the money spent

@@brucedaboss3132well technically he’s not holding it since it’s someone else’s money haha

She's quick for just a grom! Stock bore too!

Grant bowen lol true!! Only on a Grom! Thanks for commenting!

It really is, and yes, it really is!

My lil bitty 70cc scooter would really hurt some modded Grom feelings lol

Because it really needs like 9 gears to actually have a good enough overdrive gear to cruise with.

Much appreciate the compliment my friend, thanks! Think I just passed 2K now!!!

I really appreciate the compliment, and I'm glad you'r enjoying the content. thanks for watching :)

Well said. You get it. Not everyone does with these groms and that's ok you know? Everyone is different but you definitely nailed it. Modding them becomes so addicting, then hopping on the bike for the first time with that new mod and feeling the difference albeit small, its so satisfying!

CT Gromer I didn’t think you would reply, I personally don’t have a grom but My friend does I’ve ridden his I’m currently trying to save up for one keep making videos they rock!

@@robert-zh2gl I always reply! Keep saving up and let me know when you get one! I have another video dropping soon I'm currently editing- 2 year review of the grom! Make sure you watch out for it!

Ohhh man congrats! You've just opened pandoras box! Have fun man and congrats on the purchase of a grom. Best investment ever!

Gil Zr you’re welcome, very glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for commenting.

I really appreciate the compliment, I try very hard! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!

Thanks brother! It really is amazing what happens when you just get the engine breathing properly! Thanks for the comment!

Every man has his price- we know Nathen's. Thanks for the compliment bro, glad you're enjoying the content!

Bro I just bought a 2020 last week. So much more fun than my old bike at a third of the speed

Enjoy it- I agree, they're so much fun. Completely different kind of chill and fun compared to a sport bike.

Very much appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying the channel!

Thanks brother!

It's all about the Bonus Footage! Glad you enjoyed the video

My pleasure! Hope you enjoyed it

Make a video about it

I appreciate it! It's very unique looking and night and day more comfortable than the stock seat. They're hard to find now, it's called a MAD gel seat.

Lol! I'm going to have to go watch an episode of How Its Made now! Thanks so much for the kind words, I'll keep the content coming!

Damn i thought the same thing!!!! Awesome videos though, thanks CT Gromer

DMXRACR looking back at the footage I see what you mean, the position of the cross pad on the after market bike makes me have to tuck differently then the stock open bars. I don’t think I actually got any lower. If I did, it’s negligible, and doesn’t change the important number which to me is the 10-55mph time. Definitely see your point though, thanks for commenting!

@@CTGromer Thank you for replying! I just looked aty the video again and you are TOTALLY correct! Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I appreciate your accord. I do ENJOY your videos and hope you keep them coming. I watch them because I appreciate them and your efforts that go into them with cameras, editing and the information you are providing! Thank you! Also, love the comedy you DO put in them as well. Good luck and see you next video.

@@dmxracr9202 Can't thank you enough for the kind words! I'll keep the content coming! I'm truly glad you're finding value and enjoying the content too, don't be a stranger around the channel!

I'm geared stock from the factory on my grom (the black one). But I'm not afraid to really wind it out when I'm going for speed. The re-flashed ECU on the bike allows to to rev to 10,500RPM before the limiter stops me. Thanks for commenting!

@@CTGromer and is that okay? I too was closely watching how you winded it out lol. So is the flashing just to get around that limiter and only helps if you wind it out like that? And is it okay to do that? Thanks for the video man!

That's correct, using both would be redundant. I no longer use my Power Commander 5 Module and have replaced it permanently with the DHM Reflashed ECU. Aren't they the best??? It was 104 degrees when we shot this and we were still having a ball! Thanks for commenting!

It definitely will! I’ve owned two with only a couple hundred miles when I bought them and both got a little faster by the first 1,000 miles. So do not fret! Thanks for commenting!

Did it ever get faster @wayne?

J3553 H4RR15 I’ve not heard that, but that’s right where I’m set! Right between ..003-.004 on both! Cheers, thanks for commenting!

What's up dude, I really appreciate the sub and the compliment on the channel! I try to keep the content information dense and not too much advertising. I will actually be reviewing the DHM stage 3 kit with high comp stock bore piston as my next video! I'll also be doing speed comparisons between stock grom, DHM stage 2 and DHM stage 3. I know what you mean about having quiet exhaust. I wear earplugs with my yoshi. It's loud. However, it gives me the most power. If more air is going in, you have to maximize the tune by having more air go out. The best options for you would be to get a Zoom exhaust. They're affordable, and they're relatively quiet if you keep the baffle in them, especially compared to the AR exhaust found on Amazon or the yoshi. Actually, the Amazon grom exhaust is pretty quiet too!

Oh nice, I'll be sure to watch your next vid! From my amateur research, ECU/cam/piston (plus intake/exhaust) seem to be the best bang for the buck--only downside for me being a loud exhaust and requiring higher-octane gas. Plus the extra $$, haha. That makes sense; I think I'll just bite the bullet and pick up an exhaust then. Still under warranty, so I'll probably wait 'til that's up. Thanks for the reply!

MPG difference is minimal, I honestly haven't noticed a significant drop. reliability- still hasn't broke down on me yet. Just checked the valves again after 2,000 miles with the new CAM - still in spec :)

@@CTGromer That's awesome, I've heard with certain cams, the valve adjustment had to be tightened down pretty much all the way, did yours begin to run out of adjustment? The reason I ask is, if the valves naturally get loose down the road they won't have any more room to tighten back up.

They have a lot of room for adjustment, I think it would be pretty hard to run out of tolerance for them.

What!?? What are the odds??!! Thats awesome. But do you have RamBox though? Haha

Dustin Ilic thanks Dusty!!! In my opinion, finding a quality used Grom to purchase and improve your life and mine should be your top priority.

If you can justify the price, I think they would absolutely make the grom faster. The grom only has 8-10 horsepower depending on your mods, so things like body weight, tire pressure, body position matter a lot. Reducing friction to allow the wheels to spin easier will definitely make the grom faster. How much faster? Who knows, but it can only help.

Thanks for your answer ct gromer I will do it on my Grom I also had tb cam from Dhmotoring and I love it I also think that the bearing change will be helpful and bring the power better to the wheels

Glad you enjoyed, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!

I would honestly wait around for a deal and try to grab one for $2,500 - $2,700. plenty of them out there, you just have to be patient and look every day. Have the money ready so you can strike quick and get the deal! Thanks for commenting!

I have no idea, though they are a clone, a lot of times the parts are not truly universal. Sorry, I cannot help you with that one

Get out of here traitor

They're not calibrated, no. However, I can guarantee they're not 8-15mph off. Maybe 1-2 miles off. I've driven beside my wife many times and asked her what her car speedo is reading and its always been close to the grom. Thanks for commenting!

I've seen good 181CC kits that yield a lot more power, but thats a pretty big bore. I'd stay stock bore as long as you ca if your concern is long life and reliability. the 181s run very hot and if you have a lean condition at all, you'll overheat it pretty quickly. Not to mention the added stress on the bottom end from a much larger piston. Just my $0.02.

CT Gromer thank you! Yes I think based on watching your videos that a Chimera Air intake and an exhaust may be the best thing as I want to keep it fully reliable. Great content btw! 🙌🏻

I have, I actually just did the install and will be dropping a video soon in conjunction with upgraded clutch springs! Keeping watching!

Alex Strong oh man I would love to see it respond to that too!!! That’s probably next, if I were to do anything else performance related- we’ll see! Thanks for commenting!

@@CTGromer I enjoy your vids man, keep it up :)

@@stronkwurks8769 I really appreciate it, I'll keep the content coming!

Cholo Mojica you’re right. I’m always running 30psi- but I did not check the stock bike. That definitely makes a difference in these little low horsepower bikes! Good advice- thanks for commenting!

Thanks for saying so!

Yes, the popping is just the wind, and my microphone malfunctioning. My grom does not pop at all, even on deceleration. It sounds to me like you have a lean condition- get the o2 bung hooked up ASAP, and adjust those valves! It's not hard - I cover it in my latest video actually: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sMh-ocp3ptuXemw.html Skip to 8:25 for valves. Good luck!

CT Gromer thanks man. I appreciate the advice and link. The bike was dyno tuned with the power commander V. So I think it’s just the valves. But I am excited to see what the wideband does. It auto tunes to specified AFR at all throttle position as opposed to the Power commander that is only at 80% and up. Should be a good upgrade with all the others already done

@@timothyvalle2614 Oh yeah, that Autotune is no joke. You'll get it all worked out bud, thanks for commenting!

Dude that’s some serious commitment! I bet it moves! No doubt you’d be faster with some power pures! Let me know what happens when you big bore! Thanks for commenting!

@@CTGromer yeah totally man I've done every other supporting mod to go big bore and even the clutch cover. I really want the Neo kit.

@@Ty5oN101 The neo is the best I think too, only $997 though! lol! Let me know if you do it!

@@CTGromer If I don't I'll probably go 4v Koso. I think I'm gonna go 5 speed first before I go BBK unless I find a cheap new kit somebody never put in in the meantime. I just got so many other vehicals I'm putting money into and it kills me.

@@Ty5oN101 Oh yeah, I hear that. Once you start modding stuff, these machine grow arms and turn you upside-down and shake you out like a piggy bank every time you go in the garage! They're so entitled you know!?? lol.

lol, ok.

Depending on how much you weigh, I think you could get close. The only thing that will make more of a difference is the cam, which I recommend.

@@CTGromer Appreciate the response. Ended up watching more of your videos and went with yoshimura, chimera intake, 14t sprocket, DHM ecu flash and cam. Any other recommendations for top speed?

@@Tarzan2922 Nope that will do it! Thats the best you'll get out of your grom without going BBK, which I'm against because you use your reliability that the grom is legendary for.

@@CTGromer thanks man! Keep up the good work!

Its definitely possible, I've seen two turbo'd groms. They're not that effective, but definitely a novelty.

LMAO! Happy to help. Thanks for commenting.

Not sure if you're serious but you'll regret it!!!! I started at the top and ended up with a grom. Had a ZX10R, KTM supermoto, harley, R6 and all that's left in my garage is some dirt bikes and a grom lol. Grom is the most fun I've had on any of those bikes. The supermoto came close, but was too big to do the dumb things I do on the grom. I also seemed to attract cops on the supermoto because it looked like a badass MX bike and sounded like a monster trapped in a cave. I couldn't go off roading without cops from the next town coming to check it out. My grom has a stock exhaust on purpose now so that I can do stupid stuff without getting the stink eye from people. I ride a wheelie and people just laugh at me lol

Definitely. I always promote the Zoom Looped exhaust, decent quality and half the cost of the Yoshi. Give that one a look.

@@CTGromer does it gives that extra power also?

@@pegganstunt8985 it does!

@@CTGromer okey thanks

I don't know what the future holds, I'm going to stay 125cc's for now. But who knows down the road, thanks for commenting!

I appreciate it! Thanks for the support!

That's because IT IS in Clovis! Do you ride at all?!

Fallensaleen02 lol! Well I’m glad I was able to barely squeak it out at the end! Thanks for watching, commenting and liking!

YES. I've tested all sorts of different grom exhausts, and I can tell you without a doubt, the Yoshi makes more power than any of the ones I've tested. You definitely get what you pay for in that department.

@@CTGromer ok thanks

@@CTGromer what is THE second best exhaust for a Little cheaper Price?

Even fuel octane can't be trusted though. See this nice report; www.eea.europa.eu/publications/fuel-quality-in-the-eu

I wish we had 95. I run 91 in mine; but I have stock bore and stock piston, so I think i'm just paying a little extra for nothing. All my toys get the higher octane fuel.

@@CTGromer It was merely a reminder for international viewers. And will make a difference for sure. Honda ECU will normally self adapt. But only within a certain range of octane. I know this as my Buell XB12-Scg also runs a K&N filter, open exhaust and re-programmed ECU. People easily copy within forums without ever mentioning type of fuel.

@@henriwolbrink I find my z125 runs better on 87. Tried 91 and higher see no difference.

Yes, I tucked on both bikes, I have to tuck differently on each bike because of the cross member on the protapers that is not present on the stock bars. Thanks for watching!

CT Gromer for someone new to riding would you suggest getting a grom with or without Abs on it ?

@@ajalamcgregor9354 depends on what you want to do... stunt = no abs ride = yes with abs

Lit Brit Great question, I should clarify: I tucked in all of the speed runs. Thanks for commenting!

What's up Chris? I'm running an Icon Variant. Love it.

Yes they were, that would have some affect for sure.

Hey! all the mods I mentioned in the video at 1:25 in. Chimera air intake, Yoshi exhaust, Kitaco clutch cover (minor) DHM Re-flashed ECU + TB CAM.

You're probably right to some degree it will effect reliability. Thats why I stay away from big bore and things of that nature. Thanks for commenting.

What's up dude, I wear an Icon Variant.

Hahahaha! My good buddy Nathen! He's in a lot of my videos, thanks for commenting!

@@CTGromer , Subscribed. You handled that a lot more politely than I could have. You didn't even use the word anachronism.

@@BrendaEM haha, I appreciate it, he's just being funny, it's the internet. How about the word, "Paramecium?"

Maybe in the future, I am about to install a high compression stock bore piston though!

7mph difference roughly, yes. But it got there significantly faster on the modded grom. The tucking was brought up once before, because there is a cross member and pad on the modded grom, I had to tuck differently than on the open handlebar design on the stock grom. All good points though.

Technically not, because it has to be at least 150cc from the factory to be highway legal in California. Its never stopped me though :)

@@CTGromer awesome man do cops ever mess with you because of that?

@@salvadorruiz5791 Never been pulled over on the freeway, no.

Both of these groms had stock gearing, and stock speedos so the comparison should be valid in that regard.

Gotcha- priorities right??! lol

I tucked in both speed runs, just had to tuck differently because the bars are different on both bikes. The modded bike has a cross-member that I had to tuck behind, whereas the stock grom I can tuck my head between the bars which are open with no cross-member. Can definitely see how this would cause confusion though.

Get you one bud! Let me know if you do!

I can't I don't got the cash

Nathen knows what's up for sure. Glad he insulted me into racing the bikes!

sometimes a little cringe goes a long way for its entertainment value

LMAO!!!! I like that. I'll take it bud, thanks for commenting!

that's really fast for just an aftermarket exhaust, especially for your size! Thanks for commenting!

@@CTGromer I just tuck down as far as I can haha. I wanna do some power mods though, just so I can hang a little easier with a couple dudes I ride with

Sean G. They really help. I’d recommend re-flashing the ECU and an intake. Best bang for your buck!

@@CTGromer first thing I'm gonna throw on is that intake. It really seemed to make a big difference for you. I know it gets good miles per gallon regardless, but do you notice a considerable difference with a cam and a tuner in terms of fuel usage?

@@seang.4533 Yes, you'll really notice the intake, and it'll will run safer when you re-flash ECu to richen the air/fuel mixture. Honestly, I didn't notice a significant drop in fuel economy.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! God thing Nathen convinced me!

You definitely need those mods. Life changing for your grom!

That's insane! How much do you weigh!?

@@CTGromer Like 12 Stone ish, I actually got it to 74 but that was down a small hill. But yh around 69-71 on a flat.

@@ChrisHealen ok, thats wild! 12 stones is approximately 168 lbs, which is just a hair heavier than me. Stock grom 71 MPH is awesome.

How!? I have a 2019 as well and my max speed is 68 down hill with the wind behind me! Weigh about 150, so thats crazy!

@@YZ2502fast Dont get me wrong when it gets to about 68 -70 ish it sounds like its dying so I dont really do it.

162 lbs for me, Nathen the guy racing against me is 145 lbs.

Are you local here in Clovis and Fresno?

Everybody's Grom is a little different, I've said this before, because I small differences in manufacturing, I truly believe just like the silicone lottery with computer processors, you get some groms that are faster than others from factory. Enjoy!

@@CTGromer true sir...btw keep up the good work!! Loving all this grom vid
