The reason it is harder than stock to get into neutral is because to pivot point of the shift lever is moved forward by a substantial distance, effectively making the throw of the shifter much shorter, while also decreasing leverage at the end of the shifter. It now takes more effort over a much smaller distance to get into neutral, which makes it very easy to skip neutral and end up in second. The rose joint/heim joint/rod end bearing method is a much better way to improve the feel and precision of the Grom shifter without adversely altering its geometry. The linkage also protects the shift shaft from damage in the event of a drop, as you mentioned.
Removing the rubber casing on that middle linkage on that OEM will allow you to remove that middle piece before anything else and then you don't have to loosen the rear set at all. That's what I did when I installed the IMS shifter. 🤙🏻
+MSX WarHawk thanks for the advice!! Glad I didn't cut that casing though cause the stock went back on.
Grom Garage yeah I cut mine to get it off a little easier! I was committed from there on lol.
But, I agree N is VERY hard to get with this one. Even harder then the stock! Maybe it's just something I have to get use to again being its different. Hopefully.
+MSX WarHawk only took me a couple days to get used to it.
Z Garage why did you take it off? What was the deal breaker?
Not difficult getting into N at all. I used to ride dirtkbikes and this shifter is a thousand times better than the stock one. More responsive and much better feel overall.
Haha. Shifting hurts my foot. Don’t wear slippers while riding.
My crocs are pretty stylin’ if I do say so myself
It’s wicked easy I heard I’m getting one now probably get some time to get used to but I heard you just click it instead of a soft click
Just so everyone knows, Straight up pumps has a neutral shift plate for $30 that is supposed to make shifting into neutral easier. Could make this aftermarket shifter practical.
I have reverse shifting in all my bikes, and I actually reverse shifted the grom as well with all the stock parts, meaning I had to take out the lever and the whole link and put it together in a different way, at no point had to touched the rear set bolts.
Just makes removing the shifter a bit easier without having to force the parts off
How can i make my grom gp shift? Which rear sets would i need or can i do it stock like i did on my big bikes? Any tips would be great thanks
I kept my stock shifter but changed the linkage to a rose joint best thing I ever did and I did my wifes too she loves its,you get great gear changes and no neutral issues at all . can I ask where you got your bar end mirrors ,cheers mate great video .
Yeah that's another option people are doing. Mirrors are just some cheap eBay bar end mirrors
Dylan O'Sullivan whats the rose joint sizes. Please oh please
gabrielsaidso go on eBay and you can buy the rose joint there ,just put in search bar rose joint for msx 125 and it will come up ...
Good vid - I ordered one of these last week, going to install and give it a try.
+MotoMiyagi nice! Hope you like it!! I love mine, but then again I usually ride in motorcycle shoes that have a thicker toe.
Great video. Thanks for the share. Im waiting to sell my 690 KTM and get a Grom. Let the mods begin....... LOL Subbed and liked
Just put on my IMS shifter as per this video. Went on super smooth. Thanks for yet another great video. You dudes Rock!!!! Do you like the Z way better than the Grom? Sure miss the Grom videos. But I like the Z videos as well. Thanks for all your helpl
Glad it helped ya out! We feel the Z is a more refined bike than the Grom was. The Z feels like a much better bike stock for stock compared to the Grom.
what is that wire next to the shifer? 1:28 by your finger? my grom is so low when i turn to hard the shifter bend up and that wire ripp apart same for the kick stand
awesome video . and thanks for the info
Holy crap y'alls production quality, video quality and overall way you go about showing and explaining in your vids has vastly improved since the first time I saw y'all a while back. Nice evolution guys! Keep it up
M1911Mike thanks a lot, working hard to make the best videos possible 👍🏻
So do I need the c clip pliers or not I'm taking it off tommorow
If you put your mind to it, anything can be c clip pliers
Its a snap ring and those are snap ring pliers
Thanks for the heads up 🤙
Awesome video! Do you have a link to where you bought your shifter? Looking to giving this a try but there are a LOT of different ones to choose from.
its just a random one off ebay.
What shifters fit the 2022+ grom?? 1996 kx60?
Thank ya much for this video and the intelligent comments guys. I won't be getting this shifter when I get my grom or z125. (shruggs shoulders)
Easy fix for your gear stick foot.Cut some leather from an old belt and glue to your shoe where the gear stick hits it.No longer will you have a sore foot.
I tried something like this but I put it on the inside of my shoe... I just kinda thought it was ghetto lol
@@GromGarage wear cowboy boots lol
Even easier fix: wear correct footwear so that the rest of us don't have to subsidize the cost of the surgical repair of your shattered ankle with our health insurance premiums.
What are those pegs called?
I always in 2nd and barely tap on it and it will go into neutral so easy. do that alot as I'm rolling with the clutch in at a red light or pulling into my driveway
it’s not hard to find neutral at all. lears how to ride and actually wear gear and it’ll be better than the stock shifter. don’t tell other people to not get something just because you don’t like it.
why doesn't anyone post the link in the descriptions how else would we find the exact part?
Because links always change
whats the hard racing piece youre talking about?
+auomauom here is a link to it. It just supports the inner part of the shifter shaft

Shift shaft support
+DimSumNSX yeah, definitely recommend it, unless you are running an aftermarket rearset with solid pegs
Z Garage would still rock the shift shaft support.. helps in general.. haha shifts are a lot smoother
What's the model number?
1-H4V3-N0-1D3A
Lol if shifting hurts imagine crashing with those shoes on and twisting your ankle
This was years ago, I have riding shoes
I just bought a brand new grom yesterday i find the shifting very notchy and easy to miss shift does it getbetter after you break the motor in ?
Him going underneath the bike scares me
How many mm is the shifter 10 mm or 11mm
+Break Time couldn't tell you anymore as we don't have the Groms anymore :/
What kind of seat do you have on that guy?
+Daniel Conley it's just a stock seat
Grom Garage Doh! I didn't realize you guys were working on the "OG" grom. That's why mine looked a bit different. If you or anyone comes across a good aftermarket seat for the MSX please let me know.
+Daniel Conley what seat are you talking about? The grom seat??? It's just stock if that's what you are talking about
Grom Garage yes, I understand that now. I misspoke since it looked a little different from my 2017 model grom.
+Daniel Conley sorry, this is Kyle, didn't know justin already responded (didn't show the comments under it :)
buy the kawasaki factory part !!!!!
...it's for a Grom 🤦🏼♂️
learn how the bike works .
Did he really say “I got the sticker to get the extra 2 horsepower” ?. Is he serious?😂
+Drizzy Drew it's only 2hp since it's a small sticker. If it was bigger it would get the full 5hp that every sticker adds.
Ohhh okay
I think realistically it's only about an added 1.2hp for a small sticker like that
Lol this guys needs to redo the videos to much work didn't have to do all that
that's not a c-clip !!!!!
You're a C-clip
Then stop wearing soy boy shoes
Just got a pair of actual riding shoes.
