Attention Deficit omg this happened to me what do I do please help I’m so scared I’ve just potentially destroyed my bike it happened when I was tightening the spinner back up
Also...watch out for the oil port metering valve...it can fall out of the cover when reinstalling....it will kill your grom if it comes out... it's in the front of the case near the cylinder. Make sure it's in.
"im not too picky with my oil, its a grom, itll be fine regardless" but has chosen literally one of the best oils on earth for a motorcycle. good job dude!
Great grom maintenance content! All my buddies that ride for sure have never done this! I keep telling them just get in there, its not that hard! Thanks for the great video! If you have some time, peep, a few of my newer grom videos, thanks!
Appreciate this as I'm planning to do the oil change myself at 4000 KM. Great tip about removing swingarm and the penny thing. Great views on what you were working on as well. Love to see a chain adjustment vid in future. Or even if you ever change tires too :) Merry Xmas!
Just thinking about the penny method… Couldn’t one put the transmission in a high gear and while they are loosening the bolts for the spinner press down on the rear brake pedal?
That penny is a BAD idea. It fell inside my engine, It took a LOT of time and work to get it out. At least use a larger coin like a gold dollar or a quarter, and maybe put a string on it, better yet make or buy a wrench to hold the spinner in place.
Not very smart but ok I almost bet chances are double it will start smoking at medium to high mileage now because you didn’t correctly break it in Iv seem it happen to many many bikes because you kids listen to each others shitty advice
Eh just send it😂 Awesome seeing a comment from you I remember the good ol’ 250r Athena days! You are the reason I wanted to sell my street bike and get a dual sport!
Hey man. I’m going to change my oil so. My local shop only has valvoline 10w40 full synthetic and regular. The full synthetic is a little more expensive. Is valvoline a good oil for this bike or should I buy the Honda brand online ? Also should I go with the regular or the full synthetic?
Thanks Brother. This was nice to refer to for my new Honda Monkey 125cc. Perfect video!!! Surprising to me that the pesky 1st gear rough take off from a stop went away. I thought I was stuck with that nuisance due to a too tall 1st gear but the oil change made it run SWEET!
Hey, Thanks for the video. I'm having a hell of a time getting the rearset off of that pivot bolt. I don't seem to have enough slack to pull it all the way off. did you have to disconnect something to give yourself a little more slack? (@ 2:20 mark).
That is a centrifugal oil filter, and Honda Cub engines have had them since he beginning of time. They spin the shit out of the oil before it heads down the crankshaft to the main bearings and big end, and they work very very well. Pain in the arse to clean, but no need for a costly crap filter. Loctite hardens once air is excluded, that is why the bottles are half full when new. No need to wait 24 hours AFAIK. I get you use the bike, and it is no tarts handbag, but if you are taking cases off it is a smart move to give it a bloody good clean first just in case.
@@chuckbowen4334 Honda recommends cleaning the spinner and screen only once every 7,500 miles. Even if you were to replace the gasket every time (I wouldn't unless it's f'd up), that's still less than how often you'd replace oil filters.
Should snag that kitaco cover to remove the oil spinner + add oil filter, makes the job so much faster/easier. Also don't have to mess with the case seal.
Two yrs and no replies?😳 You probably know by now but it is a thread locking compound you put on the threads of a bolt then tightening the bolt. It sets like a glue and reduces the ability of vibration loosening the bolt. As for the strengths, blue is the go to for most applications. It holds hard but still able to crack it loose without risk of shearing off the bolt head!
Thanks for how to video. I have had many Hondas and never cleaned the screen. Loser? Probably. LOL I will definitely clean my spinner and screen on Grom. Cant believe the shit in the spinner. Once again thanks for the tip
What’s the difference between synthetic and non synthetic? I’m about to do my first oil change on my grom and going to run valvoline 10w40 but have to choose full synthetic or regular.
It's actually better to run non-synthetic in the Groms because they have a wet clutch but run whatever makes you feel better. I'll stick with the cheap stuff👍🏻 Valvoline 10w40 non-synthetic is what I run and I love it.
Planning on getting one soon, so after the first 600m service, whats the recommended service after that? also do you recommend changing both of the seals too? Nice video!
HOLY SHIT! The sight of 'metal shavings' inside a 'HONDA' engine almost is enough to cause me to need fresh underwear! A 'HONDA' engine? "Say it ain't so!" (in fifty-years of riding and driving...I've NEVER seen that much build-up of 'shavings' in an oil-pan or filter...that's an insane amount of serious damage going on!) It took a few seconds...and I put '2 & 2' together...and the answer is YOU ARE DELIBERATELY 'BASHING THE GEARS' WHEN SHIFTING! That's the only possible answer for 'where and why the fuck is all this metal coming from?'You said so yourself..."I beat the crap outta' this!" (you ain't kidding!) Instead of allowing 'case-hardened' gears to 'gradually wear-in' from repeated meshing...you're putting enormous stress on them with 'speed-shifting' and 'clutch-popping' which then serves as causation for surface-layers of 'hard-steel' to 'flake' from the impact of 'slamming one gear into another'...like slamming two hammers together 'face-to-face'. (Here is a 'quick and easy' tip...get a 'nasal-cannula tubing' from a drugstore...take the finger-pump from an empty hand-soap container and insert the 'pump-tube intake' into the cannula-tubing (it's larger and the pump-tube will fit snug) and then insert the tubing into the oil-fitting w/the dipstick out...and start pumping!)This is a 'practical application' of the 'Inverse Square Principle' in that your finger-pumping is creating at least x3 'atmospheres of force' at the tubing's end and it WILL'suck that shit out' of the engine! Keep 'probing' around until you're 'drawing air' and you're 'good to go' for a re-fill.The huge advantage? You can do this with a 'dead-cold' engine and the tubing will'suck-up' anything that has 'settled' at the lowest -point in the engine.(this will work with ANY engine...but...with a larger motor it will take longer! A LOT longer!)
Well everything was a success. Just put the loctite on, how long do you think I should wait for putting oil in. 24 hours? Also thanks for the informative video!!
Awesome I'm glad it worked out! 24 hours is recommended but whatever you feel comfortable with, thanks for watching I hope you stick around here on the channel!
Yo AD! Nice vid man, thanks came in super handy. I did drop the penny in my case too but was able to find it and dig it out w a pair of needle nose, no worries and I like the penny suggestion worked super well! In addition, I used the penny between the gears from the bottom when tightening the spinner cover and it allowed me to torque the 3 bolts down and avoid using loctite (I heard it’s a b&!@$ to loosen loctited bolts later on so wanted to avoid using it) One Q for you, when I was done I found a lock washer on the ground. Don’t remember it coming of the Grom when I was taking stuff apart but not too sure. May just have been laying around randomly from something else. Do you recall removing a lock washer during this job? Thanks again AD!
Sorry to hear about the penny but thank you for the positive comment I am glad it worked out in the end! There aren't any lock washers that I know of so you should be good to go!
GUYS! Don't you ever use a penny to block that shit. I just did like this today and the penny dropped inside the engine, all the way down and there is no space to get out it took me 4 hour to get out. So use there something BIG. It was a nightmare to get the penny out from there :( .
I liked the penny idea but opted to buy the kitaco gear holder instead. Sucked spending about $30 on it, but after hearing the lost penny reply I'm glad I did. Just did my first 600 mile oil change on my honda monkey. Great tutorial. Only thing I had to do different is hold onto the rear set bolt as well on the shifter side since it was spinning in place while I tried to unbolt the rear set. Great video and guidance. Tnx
As I recall locktite is an anaerobic adhesive, meaning it doesn’t need air to cure. Just clean the screw threads, apply a drop of locktite toward the end of the screw, install the screw and torque it down. No need to wait until it “dries”. Actually if you torque the screws to specification locktite is unnecessary, but it won’t hurt anything. (Caution: Always use low strength or blue locktite. If you apply red or high strength locktite it will be very hard to remove the screws next time.)
I'm machined away most of the weight on the oil Slinger amazing how much more pickups zip power your bike has removing the two pounds of metal hanging on the end of the crankshaft
mine came out clean too. no metal flakes whatsoever but some gunk in the spinner like yours. also i used the penny trick on the bottom side too when tightening back up. i put a strip of the lintfree towels in the back cuz i was scared my penny might be gonna do a bad thing LOL
My father's BMW has a magnetic part inside the casing which attracts metal shavings as the oil flows through the engine. I wish the grom had that because it makes for an easy clean
Gold Plug MP-01 is the part number for a quality stainless steel magnetic drain plug for the Grom. If you decide to go with Gold plug you need to pay close attention to the torque specifications for the oil drain plug(you should with the stock plug as well), as stainless is much harder than the case material and can easily strip the threads if over-torqued.
My third oil change with 26000 klm's.I also removed the cover from my oil spinner,some grit in it.Very clean after regular oil changes and a clean K&N air filter.Rock on,ride ya Grom,ride it safe.
Awesome man! And I'd clean the spinner every couple thousand miles or so, might be overkill but it really doesn't take that long once you have done it a few times
If i ride any machine alot i usually change oil between every 3-4 months, check the screens or case at the same time so you get a good update on the health, "hard" breakin has been the key for me and never had issues. Knock on wood😂👌
Hi, I want more power, do you recommend buying the Kit KITACO 181cc? Do you think I'm going to have problems? I like your videos Thank you!!! and gasss
Hey man any advice for how to jumpstart a 2017 Grom battery? I kept her in my living room all winter and since I didn’t start her up for 6+ mos she’s Not wanting to start. I’m seeing conflicting info out there on battery type and so I don’t want to do the wrong thing. I’d appreciate your help.
I didn't see a gasket on your oil spinner ,did you change it ? I'm doing mine now and the gasket has a front and back can't figure out which way around it goes . might just have to guess and before anyone say just look at the one you tuck off it was so flat you can't tell . Cheers .
I just test rode a monkey 125.. the engine is the same as the grom. It punches above its weight... I was surprised by the torque. I liked it. I'm ashamed to say...I bought it. I own a monkey 125.. And I like it....I payed dearly for getting one of the first ones in Ga. The mark up was crazy. Much more expensive than the grom....I guess that retro thing is worth some coin...I do notice that cagers like to disrespect smaller bike...you know things like going out of their turn at 4 way stops and trying to run you over...but, I Carry a side arm...the first person to hit me with a car will get a few shots in their direction. It's only fair.
Hey man I love your videos! I’m fixing to buy a brand new yellow Grom today. During your 600 mile service, did you check the valve adjustment? I can’t find any really good clear tutorials on how to do this. Can you please do a tutorial on how to adjust the valves on this bike? The tutorials that I’ve found, there isn’t enough light provided to see how the guys are sticking the feeler gauge between the intake and exhaust valves. I’d rather do this procedure myself than pay the dealership $150-$200 to do it. I’d GREATLY appreciate it man!
Scott Pink you can watch a Honda CT90 valve adjustment video, the engines are almost identical and the same principle will apply, only variable could be the tolerances, so look those up for the Grom. It’s a very simple process.
Also, after I did my oil change I can kind of hear more...sandpaper? Type noise. Like that stock salt shaker noise but a bit louder. Bugging me. Might just get a louder exhaust
DISCLAIMER* If using the penny method be very careful as you may lose it in your case!
Attention Deficit omg this happened to me what do I do please help I’m so scared I’ve just potentially destroyed my bike it happened when I was tightening the spinner back up
Please please give me advice I can’t find it anywhere
Lean bike over and shake it out, try to find where it fell.
Attention Deficit what happens if I can’t find it
Couldn’t find it I’m freaking out why did I put a penny in there
Also...watch out for the oil port metering valve...it can fall out of the cover when reinstalling....it will kill your grom if it comes out... it's in the front of the case near the cylinder. Make sure it's in.
"im not too picky with my oil, its a grom, itll be fine regardless" but has chosen literally one of the best oils on earth for a motorcycle. good job dude!

Jon Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!! You can expect a chain adjustment video in the future!
Did you have to adjust your clutch cable after? Mine wasn’t working and I adjusted it. Not sure if it’s me or my head but my handle seems more stiff
No I did not, you might need to check the lever / rod on the case you might have oriented it wrong.
The rod can only go one way through? And that pin that goes in the back of the case can only go in one way also? I know it should be all the way down.
Just thinking about the penny method… Couldn’t one put the transmission in a high gear and while they are loosening the bolts for the spinner press down on the rear brake pedal?
That might work! I'll give it a try next time!
Did that work?
Thanks subbed
Punch some holes in a bit of cardboard to organise the bolts, follow the shape and order.
That penny is a BAD idea. It fell inside my engine, It took a LOT of time and work to get it out. At least use a larger coin like a gold dollar or a quarter, and maybe put a string on it, better yet make or buy a wrench to hold the spinner in place.
Instead of a penny, I just twisted a paper towel nice and tight. Popped right off, no risk of a penny getting lost and easier to grab.
pro tip, dont take dumbass advise like stick a penny in the gears. because gravity exists and now holding my bike upside down and shaking it thx
I'm at 233miles on my new 2020 grom and I rode it hard right off the lot too 😎 #ohioGROMlife
Not very smart but ok I almost bet chances are double it will start smoking at medium to high mileage now because you didn’t correctly break it in Iv seem it happen to many many bikes because you kids listen to each others shitty advice

Would it have been better to drain the oil using the oil plug before taking loosening the bolts around the cover?
You might as well!
Yes, that's why you could see oil leaking out before he removed the drain plug.
5:25 it's a Honda... What'd you expect?

But...you still have to buy gaskets..it's a wash.

Hello, when do you think the best to change first oil and do service ? My grom now at 500km ( not sure mils maybe 300 ml ? ). Thanks
Around 965km is recommended!
Attention Deficit thank you so much . i will show your video how to do it because i dont have honda dealer close to my home but yamaha.
Fun fact. You don't have to remove the rearset.
You don’t have to but for video purposes I wanted you guys to see!

And I like it....I payed dearly for getting one of the first ones in Ga.
The mark up was crazy.
Much more expensive than the grom....I guess that retro thing is worth some coin...I do notice that cagers like to disrespect smaller bike...you know things like going out of their turn at 4 way stops and trying to run you over...but, I Carry a side arm...the first person to hit me with a car will get a few shots in their direction. It's only fair.
That is awesome Chuck! I hope you enjoy it, the price on the Monkey is crazy but you are paying for the nostalgia, 2nd amendment for the win!
Not video related. But I know groms vary in price from different regions. Where I live they want almost 4 grand out the door. How much was yours new?
+thesouth50 About the same here!
They recently dropped in price again where I’m at so it’s just over 3500 out the door here now, I think..
Torque specs please. What are the torque specifications of every bolt on this video?? Please appreciate it.
You will have to look at the service manual for that. I did it all by hand it's really not that big of deal for stuff like this.
Attention Deficit I'm actually doing it right now and my rear set bolt (the bigger one ) is torqued more than 100 ft lbs.
Grabs a penny
How long should I wait for the lock tight to dry before putting the oil? Can anyone plz let me know?
24 hours to be safe, I didn't worry about it though.
@@AdventureDaily awesome! Thanks!!
how much oil do you put on it??
1 qt. for me, use a tiny bit more if you wheelie.
car & motorcycle oil is the same??
I recommend using motorcycle oil, better for the clutch.
ok thanks for everything..
Of course!
What do you use to clean the oil screen?
Contact cleaner, brake cleaner, etc.
Or soap and water and let dry.

+YMD 53 I hope this helped!
Got my forks tore apart now changing springs.
YMD 53 That's on my list of things to do..
Heat bottoms to 320 left hand thread.
The bike has no Cooling why would you let it idle for 15 minutes
Engine temps were fine bud it was winter😂
Hey man I love your videos! I’m fixing to buy a brand new yellow Grom today. During your 600 mile service, did you check the valve adjustment? I can’t find any really good clear tutorials on how to do this. Can you please do a tutorial on how to adjust the valves on this bike? The tutorials that I’ve found, there isn’t enough light provided to see how the guys are sticking the feeler gauge between the intake and exhaust valves. I’d rather do this procedure myself than pay the dealership $150-$200 to do it. I’d GREATLY appreciate it man!
+Scott Pink I'll plan the video! Thanks for watching!
Attention Deficit awesome man thank you very much I bet it would help out a lot of people like myself lol Thanks again! Subscribing now!
Scott Pink you can watch a Honda CT90 valve adjustment video, the engines are almost identical and the same principle will apply, only variable could be the tolerances, so look those up for the Grom. It’s a very simple process.
Great video. I learned a few tricks. Have you done a valve adjustment. Cant find a good video.
Thank you! You can watch my valve adjustment video here th-cam.com/video/nMo1cslrA2o/w-d-xo.html
just dont use the penny trick :)) or you will suck all day as me if you drop inside the engine :(
Quality content man. Happy I came across your channel, keep it up.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
For the threadlocker is permatex blue medium strength good
I would use it!
Might want to check online though and see what the experts say.
Threadlock or actual Loctite super glue?
Threadlock!
Attention Deficit Awesome thanks!
Is the Locktite necessary?
Yes due to the vibrations of the engine!
My penny ended up in the abyss of the case. Great vid tho👌 lol next time ill try something a little bigger lol.
Sorry to hear that. It's a method I've seen used many times so it's nothing I made up. Glad you got it out though!
Also, after I did my oil change I can kind of hear more...sandpaper? Type noise. Like that stock salt shaker noise but a bit louder. Bugging me. Might just get a louder exhaust
This just happened to me ever take it out?
That was pretty clean 🧼 in there, screen looked great. ✅
