This is How I Made My Honda Grom FASTER | Intake & ECU Flash
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2019
- After 3 Years of owning my Honda Grom (MSX 125) it was time to finally squeeze a little more power out of the 125cc engine! To my surprise, it was noticeable fast(er) and louder after installing the intake and reflashed ECU!
I understand that using words like “power” and “faster” can raise a few eyebrows when referring to a Honda Grom. This is not a fast bike. However, there are a few things you can do to extract more power out of this mini bike engine. After having (only) and exhaust, I wanted to do it right by adding a Dinger Built Intake and a CJR ECU flash! The intake sound and throttle response is the best this bike has seen!
The Dinger Built Short Ram intake for the Honda Grom and z125 is Dyno proven to add a slight bump in horsepower and torque. Combined with a Cameron Jones Racing ECU reflash, the new ECU timing can make the intake & exhaust safer and and more powerful. The Grom now has a higher redline, a 91 Octane tune, and NO check engine lights! Truly a OEM style plug and play setup for the Grom. I give you guys a couple 0-60 pulls and some Grom top speed runs!
I also show you guys my new functional side vents for the Grom that show off the K&N intake and hopefully provide cooler air to the bike. Unfortunately the Dobek Performance EJK didn't work out for me and things like the Power Commander V and Aracer were a little out of my budget. If I didn't go with the CJR ECU flash, I would have most definitely went with the Finbro ECU and Injector setup.

next video : adding turbo to the honda grom
Is this possible? I want to do it
Cameron Mchugh anything is possible 😉

And also put NOS on the mix.
next video ... try not moving around so much ...
Lets see that Grom reach the triple digits
Haha I’m going to need a SERIOUS tail wind!
100km/h?
@@user-pu1iu7sc3y mph that grom goes 100km/h already cause 60+mph
There’s a guy local to me selling a 3 year old grom for 7500 dollars . Said it’s full mod lol I’d like to try it . ( I ride a Ducati )
Heavily modified builds can
100mph is high for that wheelbase but it's not too hard to reach
A few guys on the island can keep it in the 100mph+ range
Definitely surprising when they roll up next to us on the highway
More into cars but the simplicity of working on these honda bikes and how cheap it seems along with your videos is making me want to get into this after my accord phase.
Groms are super easy to work on!
Appreciate all the clean straight forward contend. Keep it the vids coming bro
Dude u sound like a kid in a candy store when u first fired it up😃thats awesome I'm happy for u 👍
Love your vids bro! Inspired me to get my own Honda vehicle and I couldn't be any happier!
Hell yeah man!
Glad this worked out for you. You sounded really amped haha. Thanks for sharing the moment with us!
Yeah man I was pumped on this setup
This video is so helpful and I love his personality
I just started watching grom videos like maybe 2-3 days ago. I’m planning on getting a new 2020 grom here in the next month. I was thinking about swapping the engine and throwing a Koso 170cc Big Block with 4V Head and doing the intake and ecu. This video showed up on my recommendations and I’m glad it did. Congrats on your upgrades! This just made me want to get it even more. 🤙🏻
I'm so envious... I really like my height but I'm waaay to long to be able to ride on a grom. :D Did you buy one?
Glad to see someone else out there has an Evo and a Grom haha. Cool vid man, may have to follow suit with the intake and ECU because 55-60 mph with the wind at your back can get old on a 50 mile ride
So much enthusiasm! That was a great and informative video
I never knew that bikepanels had a passengerside and a driverside. Learn every day! 👍
Well Guy you sound like a kid with his new Dragster. You should be excited about your new setup, you put in quite a bit of work on that nice little bike. Enjoy and be careful riding it. Nice little demo guy. Don Powell, Tyler, Texas, USA. 🏍
OMG, You did a fantastic job on that GROM!
Thanks man!
Good stufffffff!
I did the Yoshimura exhaust and modded the stock air box removing two of the snorkels as well as the mesh attached to the filter and I can hit 65 no problem myself...I really like the look of your vents exposing the cone filter and dinger built piping ...looks killer
Aty's Bike Garage that’s what I want to know.
@@Sergio-fu7mv No but it helps. Removing the rev limiter gives you a few extra mph and re-tune for 91 helps.
This actually doesn't work and will make your bike slower.
My first mod was removing the ugliest front fender in existence
Your Grom looks awesome 👏🏽 great job bro
thank you!!
"how much cc ?"
"one thousand"
killer grom, looking forward to the turbo build 🤙
Haha thanks man
These would be bad ass with a 250cc engine.
Yo can put a cbr 300 motor in them fyi
Very good video , your Grom is amazing 👏
The vents are awesome
awesome. really enjoyed this mod, great job
Thanks for watching!
I think people underestimate going 60mph on a bike. I’ve never ridden a grom but I have a built and upgraded pocket bike that rips and it’s so much fun.
Your videos are just great, no hyped shit just very clean videos 🤣 if u understand what I mean😌
You know that teenybopper song from the 60s ““leader of the pack“? With the little motorcycle vroom vroom in the song? That.
Nice job on the custom vents
its a freakin customizable Toy Bike... Love it❤👌
First time here and feel like the ChrisFix of Groms, and you even sound like him too!
We have 95 octane "super" as basic and "super plus" with 98 upto 108 octane I guess :D Maybe thats why I run about 68mph on a straight with just exhaust and little air filter mod (no complete change). Have to do the ECU reset as I don't know if the former owner ever did. Nontheless your reaction is priceless :D - keep up your cool videos!
Yup fantastic wee film Anthony. The thing is with the wee Honda Grom parts are cheap and don't cost a fortune. The up grade to your bike is very straightforward and I dare say most people can do themselves. It's an easy bike to work on with out must hassles. The brill thing was you noticed a big difference in performance as well. Which is even better news after your simple modes. Love the wee Honda grom and thinking about buying one myself. That's why I love watching these small films on how to boost things up abit.
Thanks man! It’s fun to tinker on these things
Great informative video. Thanks. So you also installed the bigger front sprocket? How many spokes...
Those groms are sick
sounds amazing!
I think so too!
This is great! I'm looking at getting a Hunter Cub CT125 and if it can run 60mph all day I will definitely be getting one... Looking promising!
Might already have a video about this but could I ask what kind of Pro Taper is that?
Good video..I learned a lot 👍
They look pretty cool. I am currently on a Triumph Speed Triple. This would be an absolute shock to my system!! My wife on the other hand has never ridden. Tossing the idea of selling/trading my Speedy for 2 Groms. 9 hp makes my guts tighten. We just bought a camper a couple months ago. The idea is the ability to toss both in the back of our truck and tool around where we go camping or buzz around town. We also have tons of UTV trails around us. We are in the Midwest. Do you think I would have tremendous buyer’s remorse? Again, it’s to get my wife riding and another thing for us to do together. I ride solo now and don’t really like it. I like riding with someone. Great video!! Thoughts??
This video is making me miss my grom so much 😥
Get another one!
Very nice video! I have a 2015 Honda Grom. Just with a slip on & sprocket 14T sprocket throws the speedometer off by 3 miles per hour at about 15-30mph & 4mph 50+ my other buddy has a Honda Grom bone stock & when we ride side-by-side I would stare at his speedometer, lol that's how I can tell that it throws it off, just an FYI 👍😎👍🛵💨69mph btw is fast as shit! & as long as you're happy with your bike that's what matters 😁 I'm just keeping mine stock mostly 4 reliability purposes good enough 4 me.. i just have fun riding it around w/friends. Love the Grom 👍👍
& i put some Michelin bopper tires. Stock vee "plastic" tires sucks big time
When you're topping it out I'm tucking my head trying to hit higher speeds haha
Was that Adams polishes you were spraying? I love that stuff, it's all I use really
That sounds way better
To get more speed on small bikes in my mind adding "better" exhaust and intake gives a little more top end power but no extra rpm so it will be a tad more powerful when your wrist is snapping itself wide open. The real benefit would come from increasing low down torque and changing sprockets so you can get there quicker and still have the same or better top speed. How often are you wide open vs accelerating🤔
@Michael Davis that's what makes these kind of bikes the most fun is the acceleration. I mean they aren't really built for really high speed anyway. Popping wheelies and that's where the funs at I think.
Brotang Youst I spend 25 minutes one way to work wide open so....
Got a Toce dual exhaust, gonna put the dinger built (currently just a box mod) intake on it, and DHM just authorized a dealer literally 5 mins from my house to do on site ECU flashes. Oh its on!
I would love to see more bike content!! Random question...what do you do for a living?
That used to be all I put out! Until I got the civic lol. I do Marketing!
Question do you have a tutorial guide on how to modify the vents ? .... I just purchased mines and I was wondering how you modified yours? Lmk please thanks
Great vid man, currently running a 2018 Honda cb125r with a gianelli exhaust which improved the performance by a lot, currently waiting on a k&n air filter to arrive from America and hoping that adds a little extra to it 🏍
Nathan Scott I am very interested in buying myself a Honda cb125r, so I’m just curious. What is the top speed you get with the gianelli?
Sebastian_ Dogboy getting 65-70mph normally, on a highway I’ve had 77 max :)
Ok. Thanks! Ride safe my bro
Sebastian_ Dogboy you too!
I can tell you live in the Boise area because I recognize the roads you were on but anyways I am looking at getting a grom myself and was wondering where you picked yours up at??
Bruh this. Is. Fucking. LIT 🔥.
Dang a grom, ek civic and evo im subbing
Is this Chris fix?
Lol. Doppelganger bike version.
Great video btw
I hit 90kmph at 8k rpm with my stock grom. My weight and height helps alot
My boy has a evo, good taste
14t sprocket. So presuming the speedo to be accurate you got 62.5 at an indicated 67 and 67.2 at an indicated 72.
Because of the way a grom engine dumps torque at higher rpm you probably only just about got it's stock top speed back. You will have a little better acceleration in gear but overall lowering gearing on a 4spd bike which can't rev isn't the best idea.
dude i wish i can have a bike like this
no offense but, anyone else notice he was using the knife with the plastic guard still on the tip at 2:20? its not a big deal but was kinda funny to see. Keep up the good work anthony!
i never use air fillter like that, its just for some short racing.
How does the flashed ecu compare to stock ecu with the filter + exhaust apart from higher rpm? Does it run any different? I heard if you reset the ecu once the mods are done the bike will adjust the fuel to the new air ratio.
The ECU was a huge upgrade. Night and day difference with the Mods. Much different than a reset
Later updates could be adding light kit on the back of the new vents. Lol.
that vent looks bad ass....
Nice job👌🙂
by any change have you try out 100 octane gas or any additive booster on the gasoline such as Lucas, STP, VP, etc... that would fund to watch..
Tunings fun, on a 125 you are just shifting the torque higher, big bores the way to go 👍
For power big bore's are good but you lose the Honda reliability...
A good quality kit that’s a sensible bore is reliable. As long as the kits piston is a similar weight to standard there will be little extra stress, good fuelling is key.
More torque low down means there’s no need to rev it so high.
Brilliant!
I’m in Idaho too just in nampa but I’m finally buying a brand new grom and need some friends
You gotta love it when that OCD kicks in. lol
Hard to believe that bike is 3 years old. You take good care of your stuff. Looks brand new. You might have mentioned it but I missed it if you did. How much did you spend on the mods?
Ok now I’m in decisive… which air intake should I get? The singer built? Or the chimera??? Both uses K&N filters which I’m a big fan of K&N. Current have a K&N cold air intake system in my Honda civic and it’s flawless.
I love GROM🤟
I love your civic bro 🔥
Thanks man!
Thanks for the video. I have a 2015 Grom with a Tyga exaust on it and just got a Chimura air intake as a birthday present. Was also looking at the Dobeck EJK, but after watching this I'm thinking maybe not. Other people have recommended the Yuminashi ECU which is like $80. Did you look at it at all or have an opinion on it? Looks like maybe an easier and cheaper option. I'm not planning on any other mods at this point.
Hey Brian, did you ever get that Yuminashi ECU? Just curious if that worked for you?
@@brandonhudson7656 No I didn't get it. I ended up doing an ECU flash through DH Motoring and was happy with it.
@@brianmatney6290 awesome thanks!
Dude I love the under fender thing. Whered you get that??
yesssss. the grom vids are back!!!!
don't worry, i started with the grom videos and stayed because of the EM
I missed making Grom videos!
how is your fuel economy with these mods? i've been thinking about a grom instead of a scooter for a cheap commute.
The mpg would decrease slightly, when you install a full exhaust and an intake, the air to fuel ratio is lean. There is more airflow than the stock ecu outputs. So you would see maybe a 3-6 mpg decrease with the power? This my personal guess with the experience I have.
You’d get like 95 mpg* rather than 100
Thx for the replies I got a gt650 instead xD
@@diederickb1806 "i've been thinking about a grom instead of a scooter" *buys a gt650* Good call xd
@@diederickb1806 you still alive? 😂
Hey! Is that a steering damper on your triumph? If so I have one and would like to see how u have it attached. I have a street triple. Ty John
Awesome vid man. Where are you located??
Im happy with it all stock. Guess I’m weird. But I do have a ZX14 if I want to go fast.
I doubt the air intake does a lot on top speed. The stock airbox is good enough for 20% above stock airflow.
I would swap out the sprockets to get higher top speed (on GPS).
Have you thought about doing DHM cam and reflash?
in thailand we made it run 80 mph/ 130+ kmh
Grom has so much more potential
you can push it harder ;)
잃어버린 사람들을 위해너무 많은 죽음 I got a stock one to 70mph on flat ground
Come visit Philippines, we can make a mio sporty, 150+ top speed, thai bikes are cool tho.
for the race it's ez 160+ for 125cc and 150cc
asians like us live with small bike to push it hard enough
but for the street use i'd say 130+ is the best number for fast and reliable
we TH don't have luxury of variety
like PH MA or IN kinda jealous that you have the hands on many bike that we dream of
Y15R Ultraman edition as example
hope one day our market will be the same someday.
I hope japanese motor company also release that bike in Thailand.
But yet I still like Honda XRM first gen with a 110cc though, Its reliable and has a high RPM rate simple change the Cam, Carburettor, front and rear sprocket and rear shock and you can dust moder 110cc,125cc and ever 150cc if your tuning is right.
You need to forward this to @grommiebear and @fooligan Thanks man!!!
sweet evo there
Thanks mang
Can you clean the bike with a steam jet with open vents? Are there any parts exposed that aren't meant to get wet?
my grom is 90kmh all stock, great break in
That's only 55 miles per hour. His Grom runs 60+ mph that over 100kph. 😂
Can you do a how to on the custom intake panels you made?
How is oyur gas mileage looking after this? Like, can you ride for however long you need to from full to just barely empty, and then take the miles you went (Using a Trip meter on odometer) and divide that number by 1.45 (Gas tank on Grom) and let us know what that number is? The average mpg for a 2015 Honda Grom (Assuming that's what it is, video is 2019 and description says 3 years) is 101.45 according to Fuelly (website)
and just wondering if these mods brought the MPG down drastically or just a little bit.
Ok so I’m confused on the vent deal. I ain’t quite understanding how you done it. Anymore info to maybe help me understand better?
for a 125cc here in PH, 67mph is like running a stock scooter in flats, we can do something about that, like running 120kph's(gps read) with just a little mods
port, camshaft, valve springs and injectors or carburetors with no bore up or stroke same as adding conrod pin Height
I currently have the zoom
Twin loop on mine, (mostly because of you) but been thinking about copying you again. How do you like your current exhaust? Mostly noise difference?
I would stick with the zoom loop. The brute is nice but not worth the switch unless you just like the look
45mph on Overland right there
Omg were do you live, i live in Florida it looks great to ride where you live no traffic ?
kid, I dont want to make the grom faster. do you know how to do an LED headlight swap on hondas? all the new hondas are LED now and I want to upgrade if the parts are interchangeable.
It needs a turbo to big for the bike. Next mod put a big ass turbo on it. The inners of the engine don't matter the loud bang and lack of rpm doesn't matter.
After adding the cold air intake, new flashed ECU, and running premium unleaded. What kind of MPG are you getting. Just got my 2018 grom abs Wednesday(brand new). 1st time rider, after getting way more experience I'm thinking about engine mods.
Honestly I have seen much of a change. Still near 100mpg for sure
Sick
Ever come up to Spokane and ride with their groms?
When is the Flux Capacitor kit coming out? BTW, I'm buying an Asian "Grom" (MSX) with only 900 miles on it for $800 . They're built over here so they're significantly lower priced.
❤❤ feel good
I have the same little filter on my scooter.. even smaller ones exist
