    Just bought a 23 Grom for my first bike and I finally am able to get over the fear of going faster than 25mph. This is the perfect first bike as it is light and helps us with fear tackle them!

    Love My Grom, and you hit a bunch of real good points on this one!
    However, we do 100-200 mile trips occasionally, and it's still super fun. 5-7 hour "Days' on the bike. Most fun bike I've owned in my whole life. Great "2nd" bike, and "mini bike fun" for sure. The power is perfect for what it is. A few mods, get your Tinker On, and it's a bit more fun. The constant talks/conversation with folks wanting to know about them get some getting used too. :)
    Probs, not a great "First bike". And agree for sure, Packs of Mini Motos are better. The old guy was right too! You can "bone out" through the grass, fields, and parking lots that other bikes won't do easily.
    I've put 14,000 miles on my Grom in about 18ish months, lots of back roads, Burn outs, Skids, and it "lives in the red line". We use our Rev Limiter as a Horn! :) So Fun! I have never been a "wrench" guy, and have done all the service, mods, and upgrades to my Grom myself. Oil ever 1000-1500 also. Did the Kitaco cover/ Spinner Delete. Got the DHMotor TB cam and Reflash, SO GOOD, Highly Recommended, great bang for your Mini Moto Bucks. :) Header with the stock muffler, The "Radiator tube" intake tube mod, with a UNI Airfilter (40 bux total) Re-Geared - 37t, With Speed Corrector, get the 12 Oclock Labs one for only $75.... LOL. :) and it'll do 60 mph easy now, pulls up the front easier, still tops out around 71mph with a tail wind, downhill, or Draft. :)
    Cheers Gromers!

  • @Mark-gk1bu
    @Mark-gk1bu 3 роки тому +4

    Thanks for taking the time to make this very informative video. I have one concern though, and it's about replacing the oil screen and spinner with the paper element filter. While it is much more convenient to access and simply change a paper filter, engines that come from the manufacturer with the screen/spinner oil cleaning system generally have high volume low pressure lubrication systems. Those engines typically have a roller bearing crankshaft and the oil pump is designed to "bathe" the bearings with lots of oil, instead of force feed a thin film of oil between the bearings and crankshaft journals of a plain bearing type engine. So, in essence, small roller bearing engines generally don't produce enough oil pressure to force contaminated oil through the tiny pores of a paper element filter. It might work for a while, but in the long term it could potentially shorten the lifespan of the engine.

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  3 роки тому

      I appreciate you looking out and the good explanation. Fortunately, the Kitaco kit comes with a more capable oil pump to combat the paper element. Mine's had no issues for 4,000 miles.

    • @Mark-gk1bu

    Thanks so much. I am looking to get my first Grom. Admittedly I have shamelessly been a Metropolitan Scooter rider for about 5 years now. A friend gave it to me who could not ride anymore. I have taken it on vacation on a carrier and loved getting around ..... slowly. But, feel in love with the first Grom I saw a few weeks ago. It seems to be a perfect step up for what I use it for. Did you do the drone work?? I'm a licensed sUAS pilot, just wondering.

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  3 роки тому

      Yes- did all my own drone work with a Mavic Pro! The Honda Metropolitan is a perfect little ride for in town. A grom would be a very fun step up from a scooter. its gets you into manually shifting through the gears, more speed and way more fun in my opinion.

    Love the video! Only thing I can't agree with is the prices. At least here in CA, can't even find one less than $4k used and flogged to death...On a side note, do you think someone might be too old to ride a Grom? I see you said about the Grom groups but seems everyone is early college age. Other question I have is do you feel like there's much vibration or buzz in the handlebars?

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  4 роки тому +1

      Pricing is insane lately here in California, thats for sure. I'm 34 and there are some guys older than me in our group, there's some vibration in the handlebars, not too much.

    ah! this video was super helpful im a newbie into the world of motorcycling, but i have been doing research about getting my first bike :) i would prefer to get a naked bike over a sports bike because i am not ready to face death in a sportsbike lol, plus i have never ridden in my life before! i want a bike that is low in displacement, and a lot of youtube videos recommend the grom for a beginner :) im actually going to the dealership to check the bike out in person and i can't wait! any other advice i should consider?

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  3 роки тому +2

      I think you're well on your way, I totally agree that a naked style bike is a much easier bike to learn on. The grom is a great one, a CB300R is another good choice. My advice would be to ride as much as you can, build your skills, purposely practice fast and low speed turns, and make time to practice low speed maneuvers, emergency braking. Most importantly, keep your head on a swivel, look before you change lanes, and anticipate cars doing the worst thing possible all the time, and have a back up line ready incase they do. Good luck!
