Project: Grom 2.0

[Kurlon]

i talked to AKFab about potentially making a liner damper mount for the lower triple. getting 90-100 MPH on 12" wheels does get sketchy.

Anyone making alternate clamps? My CRF70 on 12s was stable at 100mph, get enough trail in the front and the Grom should be too.

Reaching into my box of straps for the CBR300 to take home, I found the key I lost. Good thing the lock set was only $40 to replace.

CBR300 motor pulled off the donor bike last night. New spark plug installed. just waiting on the swap hardware.
from the videos on YouTube, the block off plate, throttle bodies elbow, and the throttle body mods need to be done before the motor can get bolted to the frame. there is no clearance to do some of these things once the motor is in the frame.

sounds like a nightmare for future maintenance!

the only thing that sucks is the spark plug. the radiator for the swapped Groms covers the spark plug area, so you'll have to disconnect/move the radiator for spark plug changes.

Its a 4-stroke and a Honda. How many spark plug changes are you expecting? Change the oil and the air filter and go

A friend sold a 7k mile Honda RC51, had just done an oil change. The guy paid big money for a "tune up" that included an oil change and new plugs.... 7k mile plugs lol

this motor i agree as it'll be pretty much all stock. i put a fresh plug in last night when the motor was on the workbench. it will have a cone style intake as there is no room for an air box on the Grom frame.

my red Grom has a high compression motor, so that would want plugs changed more often than the stock 300 swapped Grom.

so what, like every 20k miles? lol

the red one would need a new piston and rebuild at 10k i'm told.
the swap one, that plug will last the lifetime of my ownership with it
