Grom build

[RandyO]

Also closed the Auto Tune loop that’s been gathering AFR data with the new OverRacing exhaust and 93 ethanol free fuel. It runs much smoother now on low throttle and the front tire lifts high on clutchless power wheelies.

This NEO181 bike should be 22-23hp now. Still using a Grom motor.

how does the frame & suspension handle that horsepower, when you go over 70, do your knuckles turn white ? I start to shake as if I had Parkinson's. I'm ok on a 400lb bike, might be nervousness when I weigh 60lbs more than the bike, or just old age

the suspension is upgraded to Ohlins front and back, so it can handle it all. the axle is the only issue i've ever worried about with the high power builds, but there are others with 40+ horsepower engines on the stock axles. The clutch has been upgraded to support the power.

After 70+ MPH, the front wheel feels a bit sketchy, but i did get the wheels balanced this time when i had the angled valve stems added. they werent way off balance, but they needed some weights

I'm hoping the steering damper I got helps my K-Pipe above 70

Different triples to give you more trail should stabilize it at speed.

i havent seen them for Groms, but i wouldnt be surprised if OverRacing makes them. There's someone on the FB group building a Grom with everything from their catalog. Frame, subrame, single sided swingarm, etc. only OEM part is the harness.

We were in Thailand a week ago and I was amazed at how many Groms I saw, probably thousands in the 8days we were there.

Groms or Navis ?

Likely a combination of both

This Grom has been running rough lately. Checked the plug and now I see why.

Unfortunately these NGK 8201 plugs are very difficult to find. I don’t trust ordering on Amazon.
