  • @MrCamoman12
    @MrCamoman12 4 роки тому +7

    The reason youre probably experiencing the "lag" at lower end is one because that cam you put in one is made for mid to top end pull which is why that ecm is raised to 10k rpm's (so you can benefit from 6-10k in the rev range) which is basically replacing the low end power for top end in a similar way that gearing does (and some bottom end could be gained back with a gearing change) and two because that decomp was giving rotating mass and a heavier rotating mass helps with bottom end (and could be gained back through the use of a heavier flywheel or clutch basket). As someone who has always wanted a grom but cant because i live in a small town that id have to ride highways (atleast 30 minutes) to get anywhere so i thought that a grom was just a dream and id keep riding big bikes, but this has changed my mind. I also didnt want to bore or stroke a grom because i dont have a case puller to pull a bottom end and i didnt want to lose reliability with a big bore. This seems like a viable option that doesnt kill the bank

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  4 роки тому +3

      I agree with you completely. It makes sense that I'm really feeling the bog, because I removed my oil spinner as well, which contributes a significant amount of rotating mass. It really does pull on the top end now though. Just depends on how you want to set your grom up. I appreciate your informative response!

    When you feel the lag at low rpm, that's a bargain with high duration/high lift aftermarket cam, you can cope it a little bit by raising your compression ratio

    Did the cam and ecu limit wheelie potential? You were talking about how the grom revved higher but how was the bottom end affected?

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  4 роки тому +1

      This is a very good question. Did the CAM and ECU affect wheelie potential? It's hard to tell, but I'm gonna say, yes, slightly. If you're clutching up, I'd say not as much but if you're throttling and bouncing, yes I'd say you lose a little. One thing is for sure- the bike hesitates a little more down in the low RPM range, and the grom needs that "grunt" down low, and pretty much everything its got to get the front end up. ESPECIALLY on sit-downs. Stand-ups are much easier. What really affects the wheelies in a negative way in my opinion is removing the oil spinner. Removing that rotating mass in the engine is also removing the engines inertia, or its ability to keep some momentum through resistance. It revs faster, but you dont seem to get as much "pop" when you drop the clutch and yank. Great question, It's not talked about alot. Thanks for commenting!

    You guys are missing the point of the PCV. It affords you the ability to make changes to the bike, and only pay for the ecu once. If you are content with just the stuff you've done, then by all means, reflash your ecu. But it's like a drug, once you start, you're hooked. The power commander (at least on my last two liter bikes) also had expandability for a/f and other stuff.

I'm comparing what you get for dollar spent and the PCV just by itself is $350, then you have to buy the wideband sensor, or at least dyno it (more money).

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  4 роки тому

      At the time of making the video I was running stock gearing, but have since dropped a tooth in the front which helped with the low-end bog. But yes, it's not that it's slower coming out of first, but its a little hesitant at low RPM. But that all changes when you pass 7,000rpm! Good luck- curious to know how you like it!

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  4 роки тому

      it might help some, but its not worth the money. Its cheaper to also add the full intake and just reflash the ECU. But it also depends, are you going to continue to mod all the way up to BBK? If so, the PCV is better because you can constantly retune it yourself with wideband.

      I agree, but its SOOO much more money than just reflashing the ECU for the mods you have. That being said, if you have the money, nothing beats the wide ban sensor. My channel tends to speak more to budget, than top of the line though. Thanks for commenting!

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  5 років тому

      Hey thanks for commenting! Because of the difference in timing with the new CAM, I would recommend a reflash custom to the CAM, in take and exhaust. If you had a wide-band autotuner for the PCV it would be ok though. If you don't, I'd highly recommend getting the ECU reflash from David.

    Hi from Belgium !
    Love your vids. I just purchased a Grom 2017 (MSX 125 in Europe). I wonder one thing. Here, we got some differences about gas. We have the choice between 95 and 98 octane (and sometimes 10% ethanol in it). Do you think the new ecu will accept that ?

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  4 роки тому

      its all about compression ratio in the engine. Grom compression is pretty low in stock form, so it can safely run USA 87 octane fuel with up to 10% ethanol. 95 octane is more than enough. Just remember with ethanol in the fuel don't let fuel sit in the bike for too long. It goes bad quicky.

  • @gromadelphia9667

      You would need to reflash ECU, yes.

  • @spyropyro3159
    @spyropyro3159 4 роки тому

    Hey meaby you should've tried with the ECU only first, and then the cam only to see what made the most difference, and if combining both did anything else compared to using just one.

    • @CTGromer
      @CTGromer  4 роки тому

      This is true, but I can tell you that enriching the fuel/air on the grom doesn't make much of a performance difference so much as keeps the bike running at safe temps. The CAM is what makes the big difference and because DHM sells the two in a pack, thats what I chose to review.
