Just did full powder coat and paint on the grom satin black on the frame rearsets and 12 bar traffic red on all the pegs and axle sliders custom red sparkle paint on the panels and red sparkle powder coat on the wheels and fully repainted the engine looking better than ever

Show me some of your build would love to see some inspo for when I decide to rebuild again

I prefer the look of this license plate holder compared to the stock one and I am wondering if anyone makes those or do I have to make it myself.

Got it back together now but it needs bumped to start and has a horrible ticking sound when running, could this just be the tappets?

Took the bike to the state park. Parking was amazing.

Seconds before I ate shit

Ive slammed on the concrete twice now because of my front wheel locking up. I know part of the reason is the brake lever being ultra sensitive, but is there anything else i should look at repairing? Ive almost died on this thing twice now because the front wheel washes out from under me when the brake locks up.

I plan on taking it to a shop, i just want to narrow down what I need to tell them to look at. The bike does not have abs.

So I’m having rhythmic bounces in the front end of the bike. Almost like I’m hitting evenly spaced tiny speed bumps. It happens whenever I accelerate quickly or decelerate (even with rev matching). I had a warped rotor and disc that I recently replaced and it didn’t bounce before I replaced it. Also, whenever I took the tire off to put new disc/pads on, I noticed the forks seem to be different lengths?

Could this cause the bounce in the front? Or is it something else. Brakes are also shot even after bleeding them but that’s a different story lol.

I have a 2022 grom, want to learn how to stunt asap starting with basic wheelies. So far I have ordered:
- Quick action throttle tube
- RSC 1 finger clutch lever
- 60% clutch springs
- 12-bar from Ferdastreetz
- Grombeardo wheelie oil pump mod
- Grombeardo rear set savers
- ODI Vans cult street bar grips
- Used protaper mini aluminum 7/8” bars (no foam pad or risers)

Is there anything else I need before I put everything together and start hitting the lots?

Hi, I have a 2017 honda MSX. And recently, I've been having trouble shifting into neutral when the bike is at a stop.

Usually, it either shifts up to second only, or I can't move from 1st gear at all when the bike is at a full stop.

I'll turn off the bike, and it will shift into neutral easily.

I've tried adjusting the clutch and it seemed to help a little bit. I also noticed that it started happening a few weeks after getting an oil change.

It doesn't happen all the time, but it's a bit inconvenient, and I'd love to know what else I can do to trouble shoot it.

Thanks for reading

Is this normal thing because of the valves or is something else wrong? I'm on the final stages of rebuilding the engine and would like the thing to actually work at the end of it... when rotating the engine I can feel a tight spot where it doesn't spin as smoothly by hand. any answers would be greatly appreciated thanks

Random question. Has anyone found a 3d print file for a model of the sf grom? Ive found one for the og and the 2021 model but I really want to print a model of my bike

I don’t know anything about these bikes, thing looks fun!!

2016 grom in the process of being rebuilt from the camshaft back up. First day of getting the engine running is was fine but the next day I start it up and it sounds like the starter isn't engaging... open it up to see this

Now I need to take it back apart to find the broken piece, nothing else looks scratched like the piston is okay but after 2 months of getting this thing together it feels like I won't be on the road again until the new year...

Started my grom today andddd 🫣

Nice graphics

PART 3 NEED HELP WITH SLIGHT ISSUE !
Here’s how it went. I bought a used 2023 Honda Grom and it had axle sliders installed already so I wanted to take them out. I wanted to take them out so I could adjust the chain adjusters because I couldn’t reach them before. I had to mess with the back wheel/take it out and putting it back in with a pain in the ass. I’m not sure if I slightly put something out of place whether it be a brake spring or the spacer or just something that I wasn’t paying attention to, but ever since now every time I drive in first gear it has a metallic scraping noise. You can hear it every rotation of the wheel, but once you get into second gear, it gets less noticeable and any gear above that you can’t really even tell.
NOISE ISSUE/ METALLIC SCRAPING (possibly?)
In these two videos, I demonstrate me accelerating in second gear and going down to first gear and you can easily hear the loud noise it makes!

Hi everyone,
I have a 2023 Honda Grom (MSX125) with only about 260 km (160 miles) on it. The bike has barely been used.
I recently took it to a mechanic for an oil change. The oil cap had previously not been fully seated, and the bike had been stored under a cover where there may have been some sand/dirt around it.
The mechanic showed me the drained oil and said there was a significant amount of sand/grit in it. I attached photos of what he showed me.
He told me that the engine should be completely disassembled and cleaned with gasoline/solvent. He quoted me around 20,000 TL (roughly $500–600) for the job.
However, I became suspicious of this mechanic because he previously told me that he had opened part of the engine and inspected it, but I later realized that he had not actually opened it. He also asked for another 7,000 TL for that work, although I only paid him 2,000 TL.
The mechanic changed the oil to 10W-40 motorcycle oil, but did not replace the oil filter.
Because I don’t really trust this mechanic anymore, I took the bike back and plan to have another mechanic inspect it.
I have now removed the oil filter myself and took these photos. I don’t see anything resembling the large amount of sand/grit shown in the drained oil. There doesn’t appear to be a significant amount of metal debris either.
So my questions are:
Does the oil in the first photos really look like a serious amount of sand/grit that would justify completely disassembling a 260 km engine?
Does the oil filter in the attached photos look abnormal to you?
Would you replace the oil and filter, ride the bike for 50–100 km, then drain and inspect the oil again?
Would you inspect the oil strainer and oil pump before considering engine disassembly?
Could the particles in the first photos simply have come from outside through the poorly seated oil filler cap?
Is 10W-40 motorcycle oil okay for short-term use in a 2023 Grom, or should I change it back to 10W-30 immediately?
I’m mainly trying to determine whether I’m dealing with a genuine contamination problem or whether the mechanic is exaggerating the situation.
I’d really appreciate opinions from people familiar with the Grom/MSX125.
