what's up guys we're working on the 2020 honda grom but this will apply to
tons of different groms and monkeys and other even other honda mini bikes
uh what i noticed is the shift lever is a little bit too high for me
you know unless you're wearing motocross boots or road racing boots you don't need as much clearance
to reach the shifter so i'm going to tilt my shifter down one notch and see how that feels
and the first thing you want to do is take you a black magic marker and just
draw a line from that slot right there all the way across the shift shaft that way you can see
exactly how much movement you're giving and uh you should need an eight millimeter wrench
or a little socket whatever you want to use
pull it towards you you know because it's upside down so you don't want to push forward on it or
you will strip it out and usually with these you have to take the screw or the bolt all the way out
okay now i got it out here this little guy
now i'm going to pull it off the shaft and just tilt it down one notch
and if yours won't budge you may have to take your little slim screwdriver and just tap it
in there to spread that out just a little bit otherwise you may have to wiggle it off
try to hold it steady you know don't pull it all the way off if you want to do this easily
and then rotate it down one notch
and it should be flush with the shift shafts also
okay put our bolt back on some people put blue loctite on you know shifter bolts like this
just to make sure they stay in place because you don't want to really have to tighten this a ton
because it's not what you're tightening is not very strong
so just snug her down oh i need to lubricate that foot peg
i hate squeaky foot pegs okay all right now
much better yeah i was having to really re lift up to get an upshift on the shifter because i'm
just wearing street shoes for riding this little thing so it's a little easier if you just tilt
it down a little bit easier to shift on kind of more like a road race bike or a sport bike
and i do not like anything squeaking
no squeaks on a motorcycle for me so we're gonna spray that spring real quick done
yeah this is a really cool little bike the honda grom if you've never had one i highly recommend
them if you're looking for a small little get around town bike or an awesome pit bike
or college bike you know a campus bike a campground bike or whatever these are better
in my opinion than little scooters now you do have to shift gears on them like a regular motorcycle
so that's maybe one detriment that some people who aren't used to that would might not like otherwise
though they're just fantastic it's even got you know passenger foot pegs so you can carry two
people on it uh you know it can go almost 60 miles an hour pretty easily depending on your gearing
and they're just great little bikes so check out our channel we've got other cool stuff about this
