Hoblick Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 so ill be racing the Grom with OMRL this season. right now it is going to run in F3 class. I they are unsure right now if the the Grom will be aloud to run exhaust and air filter mods, but i decided id go ahead with it anyway, and we are gonna use my bike as a test mule for if it will still remain in f3. Here is the cool thing, Honda Marysville is actually sponsoring my bike the season. Very awesome of them. They are supplying me with some of parts to help out this season. Also I gave a call to Oliver, owner of sportbikelites.com to ask him about the billet rear sets they offer, and we started chatting and he ended up hooking me up with rear sets and brake line @ cost. so what have ordered so far.. Ohlins Shock (thanks Riders Discount)Tyga Moto Maggot full exhaust (thanks Ebay)SBL Billet adjustable rear sets (thanks Sportbikelites.com)Core motor Braided front brake line (thanks Sportbikelites.com)and thanks Marysville Honda for..Dunlop TT93 GP tiresProtaper EVO bars and mountsWPS featherweight lithium batteryJT 14 tooth front sprocketstill to be ordered are..k&n pod filterRacetech Gold valve kit and springsBazazz ZFI and dynotuneso a big concern for me with the Grom is the weight. its 225lbs wet, the other bikes in the class around around 164lbs. the other being gearing, which i won't know the outcome till i get to track. pulling off the rear license plate holder/fender/turn signal assembly dropped 5lbs off the bike. The headlight assembly should net me another 6-10lbs of weight reduction. tonight i installed what parts came in.. the ohlins shock and full exhaust old exhaust weighed in at 11.10lbs new exhaust weighs in at 3.25lbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoblick Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Its all gonna depend on seat time with it. Im gonna try to get as many practice sessions as i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnone Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I know it's early, but if you get 58's before May 1st on that bike I will be surprised. Maybe 57's before the end of 2014 season. I wish you well and love that you are doing it. I just don't think the bike is very capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I know your doubts chris, i have them too, but untill its on the track i wont be able to truely find out what its capable of.Hence why i said hoping for 55sIm also hoping that with the more modern suspension, brakes, and fuel injection. It will help it around the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 You better put ALL the parts stickers on if you want to hit :55's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Lookin good. Congrats on the sponsorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Totally gonna sticker it up.Actually marysville honda is doing a graphics kit for it, part of the deal.55s at thia point look like a long shot. BUT, if first practice out i can get 58-57s. I think its doable this season. Again, no one has had one at crp, so this is gonna be a learning curve, and r&d year.If things go well hopefully more will get a Grom and there will be a grom class 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoblick Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Got a chance to out the rearsets and brake line on.The stock rearsets weighed in at 2.7 lbs a pieceThe SBL ones weighed in at .95 lbsI think the will break apart first crash lol. We shall see how that goes. But you can see the difference in position. A lot farther back and about 1" higher maybe more, from the gound the measured around 9.75" (as steady as I could hold the bike and take picture at the same time).. The stock pegs are think and have a nub for feelers. The SBL's like I said, farther back and up, they measured around 10.75" from the ground.Brake line went on smooth, added some motul rbf600 and bled.

redkow97 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 LArry isn't too skinny and he manages 1:04's at CRP. bring 4 guys and you can have your own "hefty" race class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Motorsports Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Looking good buddy! Your parts should be here by the end of next week. I can't wait to see this thing when it's all done!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 some parts came in from Honda Marysville..Protaper Evo barsprotaper oversized bar mountsDunlop TT93GP tiressunstar 14 tooth front sprocketstill waiting for the battery to show up. my K&N filter came in from ebay as well the pod filter replaced the huge/ minimal flown airbox the weight savings pile ProTaper Evo bars installed these Dunlops should do a little better than the stock Vee Rubber tires lol yes the Grom is in my house, made it a little more comfortable to a few bolt ons, having it in a spare room lol. I also got the shift pattern set to GP shift now. so only thing left at this point is install the featherweight battery, order the Racetech fork springs and valves, and order a Bazazz. Dyno Brian will be doing the tuning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
