Well in some bikes it's one piece, in some it's several separate pieces. For the most part, you really want one on street, but if you manly do offroad, like enduro and cross, the loose underground is your cushioning, so it's not needed there.
Ethan's top secret project will be announced next Friday! He has been building something Huge for you guys over the last two months that you guys are going to love! That is why he hasn't been in the videos recently 🥲 Thanks for your patience. It is worth the wait trust me!
The rear wheel rubber pieces are normal as long as all the pieces were there. Its a cush drive to make take off and shifting less violent on the chain and sprockets. :)
Crazy I have a 2022 grom converted to offroad, 14t sprocket, hand guards, knobbie tires, tuned with a full exhaust and intake, pro taper bars, billett foot pegs and way more
That rear wheel full of bits of rubber is very similar to a Honda cush drive used on lots of small capacity bikes. The new rubber comes as 4 pieces total
The rubber in thw rear wheel is a kush drive setup. Factory on alot of bikes and big on stuntable bikes. Takes the shock away from the hub on clutch up wheelies
All I did to my grom was exhaust, cam, aftermarket ecu, and a intake. Threw dirt tires on it and have just absolutely beat it since 2018, strictly off-road doing as much hard enduro as you can on a grom lol
My Grom has close to 1000 off road. Took it to Tillamook State Forest once, took it to Moab twice and it's been over Slick Rock and The White Rim Trail once and Hells Revenge twice
This bike is a steal at $14-1600 brand new shipped to your door BTW. Xpro Boom Vader 125cc. same as my profile pic, on air ride and stretched. Very cool to see some Honda Grom Clone Content yall! thanks for the upload!!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo one some models yes. The oe grom has 2 pucks joined together (4 pair), my klr650 they're all joined together. Being that its a Chom I'm kinda surprised it even has a cush.
What in the what what?!? Droppin on a Wednesday?!? I knew a grom vid was coming! You should see the build Vasley just did where he dropped a banshee engine in one.
You guys are awesome! I'd love to meet you! That storage place you guys got kicked out for doing wheelies is 10 min from my house! Keep up the good work! Hopefully I can meet you all in person someday!
Great video content as always guys! I feel like I know that time trial track very well now, after seeing so many times over the last few years, always look forward to these great videos, thanks!
remind me of my previous dirtbike which is a kawasaki ksr 110 (very similar to the honda grom) and i change the tires to dirtbike tires change the sprockets remove some weights and it was so fun to drive until i blew the engine and sold it
I have a grom clone myself with over 800 miles and it. Off the bat it needs rear sets and forks if you wanna stunt it. But good luck gotta fix something after every ride on a boom Vader
those rubber things in the wheels are supposed to take up some if the jerk when dumping the clutch, its kinder to the engine. and yes, real bikes have them too, my zx9r has them, i think even my ktm sm has them.
If the Honda grom’s rims were 2 inches smaller and you swapped the engine for something like a predator 212, it would classify as a full suspension mini bike and you could legally enter it to the go power sports 180 race.
@@lel9460 Yeah my point is that it’s a tiny bike. Instead of a predator motor you could use a Honda 160 gx motor. It’s pretty similar and it would still classify as a minibike.
The editing throughout this video was soooooo good, died laughing the whole time. Will is such a good personality for this channel, keep em coming bois
And I thought I might manage to finish my track before the snows up for the grom and you had to buy one to now... not fair hehe, does it have 9hp like the grom? Its a cush drive in the wheel btw, it's common on street bike.
i had 2 bikes that used that rubber connector for the spoke and those freaking suck. on one bike i was lucky enough to find a hub that had the good old bolt option. and yes, both bikes where Chinese knockoffs. i cant remember the name of the first bike but the 2nd one was Skyteam PBR and that is a clone of Honda Monkey R
This is going to be a really cool build.... I love small bikes and this one has the potential to be really, really cool. Especially if it's going to be a 3 wheeler.... Hopefully they do some engine mods as well because it seems a bit weak, even the Modified Razor was able to beat it. LoL
I have a Lifan GY-5, those grommets on the rear are starndard, they don't last. The Lifan itself tho, is more reliable than a Honda :) So much abuse, runs so hard!

14" rim swap. cbr250r motor swap. forks and shock. it becomes twice the bike.

The rubber in the hub is called a cush drive, it keeps you from cracking your hub with a chain drive on the street 👍
Makes sense. Are they normally one piece?
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo no, the rubber pieces are replaceable, there's usually 5 or 6 of them
All the talk about no experience on a street bike, followed by having no idea what a cush drive was, had me giggling.

Actual groms have the rubber inserts too. Actually most street going bikes do. It’s called a cushdrive. It lessens drivetrain shock.
I love how much people customize Groms. They always turn out so awsom and funny!

Many different motorcycles use them. You can buy polyurethane versions to stiffen it up.
@@ridethroughlifertl Help keep from shredding gear boxes and sprockets on the street.
No just small capacity bikes, most all street bikes old and new have cush drives
@@kyleewert5630 true but they're usually a different design. That one specifically is very reminiscent of small Hondas.

I always thought a grom could make a good offroad bike. Maybe if you extended the wheel base a bit it wouldn't be so wonky?
An extended swingarm would help out a lot!
