The purpose of this build was to create a long-term bulletproof Grom that would stand up to the abuse we put it through. From being a trainer bike idling for hours to 12 o'clock wheelies we use it the way it was meant to be used. Here's the list of specs/modifications we highly recommend to keep your Grom running optimally. **No amount of modifications can replace proper maintenance**
Subcage and 12bar (Crash protection): MKS
Dirt bars of your choosing w/ appropriate risers: Pro Taper CR Highs, KLX112 Bars, ODI CR High
Shorty Clutch Lever: RSC 1 or 2 Finger, Stock Lever works fine as well if you can adjust/bend it to your liking
Thrill Seekers Seat Cover: This is the biggest game changer for learning since it grabs you back when you start to actually get to balance-point. The stock seat is sketchy/slippery if something goes wrong.
Chain Adjusters: NDC chain adjusters with spools (Easier maintenance and swingarm protection)
Brake Lines: Stainless front and rear (Coremoto)
Oil Pump Mod: Necessary when doing longer wheelies or rev-limiter coasters. (45sec+)
IMS Shifter: Easier to bend back after a fall. (Con could be that it can send impact into the transmission)
Suspension front and rear upgrade: Rear: Avoid Ohlins Go with Ktech, YSS, or Penske; Front: K Tech
Handbrake Setup: Big Rotor Rear, P32 foot brake, and P34 Handbrake with an appropriate master cylinder RCS16 Clutch.
Idle Adjuster: eBay adjuster modified or "Gopro screw"
Throttle Tube: R6 Throttle tube or Rev3 Throttle Kit
