About to bolt on +10hp

 

Haha what did you find out?

 

parts fall off, bolts fall out even if they have loctite, and not good for highways. They are good for stunts though, and grom parts fit

 

If I don’t destroy this thing resale will be good.

 

All the ones Ive looked at tonight are around $3k with miles ranging from 600-3000. People want all their $ back after mods too

 

Yep

 

when are you going to do this? you have some time now that the virus is here..

I went for a 2 1/2 hour ride today(60miles) and the wife asked why I was gone for so long. I told her because the grom is freaking slow.

 

let her ride it, and you take your normal bike. Then she will see

 

Still trying to convince her to ride it. My “normal” bike is a 2-stroke KTM that vibrates your eyeballs out of your head at 55mph on the road so the grom still has the advantage

 

@fatfurious2 this is what I want to do. Who wants to buy a grom and do it with me?

I watched that last week. Ill do it with you

 

Man the counter balanced motors now are stupid smooth. What year do you have?

 

2005. I think it mainly has to do with a bent front rim and that’s right when the powerband is kicking in.

 

Lol that probably doesnt help.

 

Where’d you find those?

 

I was worried about dropping my new bike so I put a stunt cage on it. I figured stunt riders drop their bikes all the time so if I accidentally drop mine it will protect my bike. I then bought a 09 vstar 250 for cheap to practice before riding my z400 I don't like the clutch on the vstar. The only thing I really like about the vstar is the riding position and I don't care if I drop it. I love riding my z400 it's so easy to ride and the clutch is awesome. I wish the z400 was as comfortable as the vstar.

 

When should I expect to see the wheelie videos?

 

I'm just learning to ride for now.

 

Fair enough. I might work on wheelies today. Aka lift the front end 4” off the ground
