HI friend ! I really love the Honda Grom but When I ride at the high RPM around 6000 to 9000RPM the engine start having noise . Is your Grom have the same problems like mine?
It's just a sign that tells you slow down a bit lol. Seriously though, when you over rev these little engines they do make that weird sound but I'm sure it's nothing, as long as it's idling properly with no hiccup.
the 2021 grom cuts injection at 8200 rpm, do you take it to 9000? 😂, I don't know what grom you have, mine is perfect after 6000km, but no, it doesn't go above 8200rpm, it's a two-valve engine, it's not made to go above that
I live 5kms away from my work, a car is no longer practical for me (1990 E30 325i), the engine never gets warmed up properly and due to that, the fuel consumption is much higher than normal. Looking for something small, practical, A to B purely for the city and short distances......would this work for a 10 minute drive to work? or is the distance also too short to get that engine warmed up?
well, it depends on the ambient season, if it's winter, no, but it's not something you should worry about with this bike, it spends the same amount of fuel, in such a short journey it's also invaluable, with the engine hot or cold, I have this same grom with 13500 km, I know what I'm talking about
I just bout one and I love it. Please tell me where I can buy a Yoshimura full system for it? Need all sorts of accessories. It's a pain that all the parts are in USA. Is there anyone you know who can hook me up. Regards
I rode a Grom and a Monkey. They were the slowest bikes I have ever ridden! It is the only motorcycle I have ridden where you turn the throttle and NOTHING happens! They remind me of those go carts that you rent and race on the track. They are governed I think for about 10mph and when you push the gas pedal it takes them about 5 minutes to think about moving. IMO, the Grom and Monkey are ok around the neighborhood or on country rural roads, but I wouldn't feel comfortable taking them on any highways or major roads where the speed limit is over 40mph. If you tried to merge in front of a car or a truck, you are going to be road kill! Forget highways! Why buy a 9hp motorcycle and soup it up to 15hp when you can just get a 300cc and have 35hp for a little bit more? They are are for pussies and kids that are afraid of a real motorcycle. I had a Honda 300 CBRR that I sold because it was too slow to stay with traffic, and it was over stressed on the highway because you are running near redline all the time. They are unsafe IMO in most situations because you can't avoid accidents because of insufficient acceleration.
I’ve realised the Honda Grom and Monkey are the biking equivalent of the original Mini or Fiat 500. Not fast at all…but then they weren’t built for speed, but damn are they great fun to drive lol
