This is How I Made My Honda Grom FASTER | Intake & ECU Flash
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- 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.

This guys vocabulary had me engaged in the video he lists all the sources and explains everything perfectly, thanks dude! Earn a like and a subscription
If you literally like his vocabulary then you literally must watch the Kardashians and literally think they're literally smart too.
Lets see that Grom reach the triple digits
Haha I’m going to need a SERIOUS tail wind!
100km/h?
@@정원우-z5j 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!
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 ...
I never knew that bikepanels had a passengerside and a driverside. Learn every day! 👍
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.
These would be bad ass with a 250cc engine.
Yo can put a cbr 300 motor in them fyi
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?
Dude u sound like a kid in a candy store when u first fired it up😃thats awesome I'm happy for u 👍
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. 🏍
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
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....
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
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 know that teenybopper song from the 60s ““leader of the pack“? With the little motorcycle vroom vroom in the song? That.
When you're topping it out I'm tucking my head trying to hit higher speeds haha
Is this Chris fix?
Lol. Doppelganger bike version.
"how much cc ?"
"one thousand"
killer grom, looking forward to the turbo build 🤙
Haha thanks man
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.
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
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
This video is so helpful and I love his personality
I feel like a grom would be perfect if it were like 15% larger and had a 225-250cc engine. I suppose there is the 390 Duke, but I like Honda.
TurboSol cbr300?
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.
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
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!
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!
So much enthusiasm! That was a great and informative video
The vents are awesome
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!
its a freakin customizable Toy Bike... Love it❤👌
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??
I hit 90kmph at 8k rpm with my stock grom. My weight and height helps alot
I just wrecked going only 50mph around a bend that was oily for some reason. cant wait to get a new set of clutch and brake levers and a new shifter so that I can finally ride again :( didn't sustain any injuries myself other than some abrasion and surprisingly only cosmetic damages to the bike :D ride safe everyone!
Glad you are good
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
Your videos are just great, no hyped shit just very clean videos 🤣 if u understand what I mean😌
Road my buddies yesterday and that seat man.. total ball crusher. You must be used to it but going from my fz07 to the grom had my area killin. I’m buying a Z125 this week to fool around with my friend, thanks for the video I’m already looking into ways to increase acceleration.
Oh yeah this seat will tear you up on long rides lol
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.
Coming next video: insurance company modding your arse, naturally aspirated.😂
This video is making me miss my grom so much 😥
Get another one!
That sounds way better
I'm Italian and my stock grom does 120 km/h (74 mph) maybe because of the different gearing
125's are sensitive to different variables, like rider weight including gear and altitude.
It didn't LOOk like he was in full tuck when trying to top it out so that probably took 5-7mph off top speed...I was judging by the shadow of him so it's a guess. And like the other comment said, with small cc engines a lot comes into play when judging the top speed of the bike
Keith Schneidly my friend i weight only 65 kilos But with another person on the Back (total weight of 125 kilos i got about 62-65 Mph
Its cuz he's italian
OMG, You did a fantastic job on that GROM!
Thanks man!
That Grom is dying for a set of white wall tires. Trust me dude, that will totally set it off.
I'll have to think about that!
i put in a straight pipe intake and new ecu. did the reflash for my setup and i can get it to rev limit at 73 no problem. only time it struggles to get over 70 is with head on wind or a hill
Appreciate all the clean straight forward contend. Keep it the vids coming bro
Nice job on the custom vents
Those groms are sick
You gotta love it when that OCD kicks in. lol
Love your vids bro! Inspired me to get my own Honda vehicle and I couldn't be any happier!
Hell yeah man!
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!
First time I’ve ever seen someone use a pressure washer nozzle as a punch lol
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? 😂
I’m in Idaho too just in nampa but I’m finally buying a brand new grom and need some friends
I know you're just doing a comparison before install, but remember, your speedo is no longer correct after changing sprocket diameters. The speedo calculation is within the transmission
Dan and Yong correct, yet the MPH on the bike is still the control that we are monitoring
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!
My boy has a evo, good taste
You need to add DHM's cam to your bike to really get an even bigger difference with that tune
Thinking about it!
Just fit a CR 125 engine that should make it go
Very good video , your Grom is amazing 👏
dude i wish i can have a bike like this
Dang a grom, ek civic and evo im subbing
You can buy Mash metal and glue it on.. after you cut out hole. Then you can put under light kit. Light Shine through
Look better
Your Grom looks awesome 👏🏽 great job bro
thank you!!
sounds amazing!
I think so too!
I have the same little filter on my scooter.. even smaller ones exist
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!
awesome. really enjoyed this mod, great job
Thanks for watching!
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!
Just watch this dude,
I also own a Honda.
Mine can run to 10k rpm.
Honda engines are reliable, you can max out every gear until it limit then change gear.
This little engine likes more torture. 😁
i never use air fillter like that, its just for some short racing.
Eco and a modded Grom... winning.
If Honda installs a 250cc or a 300cc engine on the grom, I'll buy one.......... 125cc is too tiny.
Wouldn't be a Grom anymore
@@ownubadboy10
You can call it MegaGrom !!! .... more than meets the eye...
thats not the point of a grom the point is something small and slow but fun and you can explore with it.
Buy a ninja. 300cc engine on a tiny bike with tiny wheels will be fatally unstable to ride
You must oil that filter before you fit it. I hope you grom still runing fine. Dry filter let through everything
It comes pre oiled
@András Papp BOOM! Roasted!
@@1029zsz......no.
I love GROM🤟
Later updates could be adding light kit on the back of the new vents. Lol.
my grom is 90kmh all stock, great break in
That's only 55 miles per hour. His Grom runs 60+ mph that over 100kph. 😂
45mph on Overland right there
00:00 what’s up guys this is AuStIn!
At those speeds I'd for sure wear a jacket!!! Also who doesn't run 91/93 in their bikes!?!?!
من الجزائر 🇩🇿 اعجبتني هذه الدراجه فهي مناسبه في بلادنا لصغر حجمها 😘💝💖👍👍👍👍😍🤩♥👍👍👍👍👍From Algeria, this bike was impressed with our country for small size
Look at my hands, My Hands! I want to be a hand model.
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??
Im happy with it all stock. Guess I’m weird. But I do have a ZX14 if I want to go fast.
More air also needs more fuel.Take injector out and replace with Honda Pcx150 injector
You can go buy sink pipe. Cheaper and put your hole it in.. and k&n filter $30.
Elbow on the gas tank when you leaning down. Bike will go 75mph. Stock bike
If you have little wind 65 to 68
Yeah it does speed limit occassionally. You could probably buy a bike with a little bigger displacement. It till a mini bike. You can put lip stick on pig. It is still a pig or a grom.
you’re in the 208 im bout to buy my first bike and it’s a grom
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?
Good video..I learned a lot 👍
sweet evo there
Thanks mang
Wow, you guys run in 87-89 octane.. Here in the Netherlands we run 95 stock and 98 (and even 101 at some gas stations). That's quite a big difference... Doesn't that affect the performance pretty badly?
Awesome video though! Wanna get my bike license real bad, but have to finish my R33 first, hehe.
Yeah we have crap fuel here :(
Different units, Your 98 is our 93
GROM GROM GROM!!!
Was that Adams polishes you were spraying? I love that stuff, it's all I use really
Brilliant!
Great informative video. Thanks. So you also installed the bigger front sprocket? How many spokes...
Where's my Idaho squad at
You need to forward this to @grommiebear and @fooligan Thanks man!!!
Could you make a quick video showing the speed with 91 octane
I can do that soon!
