Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Stay safe, be cautious, and enjoy the rides !

Hard to beat the overall fun of the Grom! We take ours all over! Last week we rode 2 up through over 10 Miles dirt/sand backroads of monument valley

Sold my wonderful 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 ABS KRT because at 78, with old man ailments, it's difficult to maneuver in the patio to get it ready for egress - HOWEVER - I've NO problems with my 2018 Grom and 2018 Genuine "Buddy 50" scooter!!!!!!!!!! I don't have a wife, but my lady's firm and round Ruckus is a thing of beauty.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it was helpful

Thank you, and glad to help 👍

How do you see the measurement sitting on the bike if you don't have any friends. Lol

​@@toddboden972Use your phone on a video or camera timer?

Sure thing !

Thanks

You bet!

Happens when it spends serious time outside and on the carrier. Lube after adjusting

Thanks, hope it helps

I believe the rear axle nut is 44lbs, but you may want to research to be exact. I never worried about the torque specs on the double nuts on each side of the Swing-arm that push the axle back. The rear one holds the front one in place (the front adjust the swing arm placement, then the back nut will tighten up against front nut so it can’t move and loosen. Hold the front while tightening the back nut into it).

Thanks for the feedback

Nope. No stand needed to adjust the chain

Fair question. It only takes a couple turns of the axle nut before it will be easy to turn and loose enough to adjust.

I’m not sure. I’ve never actually put a measurement to the top after adjusting as done in the video

Just make sure it’s exactly the same on both sides before you ride it. If you went to far back on one side, and need to move the rear tire forward again to start the process over…. - leave the main axle nut loose. - sit on the bike. - Roll it backwards a few feet and then hit the rear brake hard to stop. -The rear wheel will stop quick, and the axle/rim will slide towards the front of the bike (because the axle is still loose). - if this doesn’t slide the axle forward enough, repeat the steps of rolling the bike back and hitting the rear brake again. - then set the adjustment bolts to this spot (which has too much slack in chain). - now start working the wheel back again with small increments on one side and then the other, until you have the correct amount of chain slack. - then follow the steps to tighten it all back up.

Thanks for the input. I believe it’s case dependent. If the “tight spot” is tight due to being under tension from being in gear and chain tension originating from tire pulling on the chain attached to sprocket/drivetrain, a rider may get a false of a “tight chain.” (And to add, the tight/tension on the chain is dependent on whether the bike is rolled forward, or backwards, after turning off and in gear. This will be depicting its appearing tight on upper level or lower level of chain. Hence good to be have your machine in neutral to not worry about misreading the possible slack, or lack of).

You must of skipped a step somewhere because the little nuts on the side draw the rim away from the bike, hence they tighten the chain. Do you loosen the axle? Or maybe not loosen then tear little but to allow the front nut to move freely. And be careful once you start adjusting. You don’t want to make the chain to tight.

@@builtnotbroken Thank you very much, I'll give it another go :). Let's see what happens.

If the axle slid all the way to the back of the cutout in the swingarm then that means ur chain is stretched out, take it to the mechanic and have him install a new chainkit, should be like 30$ plus 1-1.5hours labour

@@2f4fh Thanks man, I bought a new chain-link and sprockets, changed them out myself, but I appreciate it brother. My bike rides like new now 😁

like do you tighten one side before loosening the other?

Are you referring to the large axle bolt going through the rim? If so, You put the wrench on one side (to hold the head of the bolt in place). Then you’re spinning the nut on the other side to loosen. If you turn the nut a few rotations it should be loose enough that the wheel can freely move backwards when you adjust the chain.

Agreed. It’s on the carrier a lot in the weather. Lubed it after adjusting the chain 👍

Super clear👍

​@@builtnotbrokenwhat do you use to lube the chain?

​@@toddboden972cable/chain lube

Hope you figured it out

Doesn't seem like you were actually paying attention, try again because this is a very informative video

@drewcarr6609 wow you're a jerk. You realize that there are new riders that can't just imagine the missing gaps in instructions. Stop gatekeeping maintenance learning

I agree with you. He edited some of the video out at the worst times.

Good for you to own it and not pretend you’re something else
