  • If this sounds exactly like what your Grom needs and you'd like to help support this channel you can purchase one here! www.scooter911.com/product-pa...
    There are a lot of reasons to upgrade the rear shock on your Honda Grom. You might be looking for a smoother more controlled ride on your daily commute. You may be looking to gain a couple of seconds on the race track. You may even looking for that extra bit of ground clearance for your off-road mini-moto adventure Grom. Whatever your reason to ditch that old NON ADJUSTABLE pogo stick on the back of your Grom is, this performance shock from NCY is a fantastic option.
    As you may well know the stock rear suspension on the Grom is not adjustable. That means that you are locked in to that mushy bouncy ride. And if you're a larger rider that means your weight is gobbling up most of your suspension travel. OH NO!
    The NCY performance rear shock features adjustable spring preload. Which means you can pretension the spring to stiffen it. Adding preload to your rear shock can change the geometry of your bike under extreme loads like racing or off-roading making it adjustable to fit your riding style!
    And even if you're not a heavy rider or putting your Honda Grom through extreme conditions the dampening rate of this NCY shock provides a much smoother and controllable ride!
    This video would help someone if they wanted to know how to replace the rear shock on a Honda Grom. Whether or not they were looking to replace the shock with a performance upgrade.

    Hey G, off topic, but what are your thoughts on the new Honda Navi?
    👍/👎

    • @Scooter_911
      @Scooter_911  Před 2 lety +1

      Not off topic at all my friend! Truthfully I've been so busy with starting up my shop I havent gotten a chance to check one out in person yet. But from what I can tell its using an old powertrain from the retired elite 110 which was a super solid platform. And because that bike was sold world wide there are already off-the-shelf mods for the engine and transmission. All and all I'm pretty excited about the Navi. We have a lot of customers who are looking for a good reliable bike in that price point and until now we really didnt have any new bike to point them towards. The other thing i love about the Navi is that its an automatic. As manual transmission cars are becoming fewer and farther between a lot of people are very intimidated my manual transmission motorcycles. This is a great way for people to enter the 2-wheel world. OH YEAH AND BUILT IN STORAGE?!?!? thats the best! I'll probably do a video review of one if I ever get one in the shop.

      @@Scooter_911 yes a review would be great! All in all I agree it's a good bike for basically all the points you bring up. I'm definitely interested in getting one. Chinese brands have been manufacturing similar styled bikes for a few years, by similar I mean sport or sport-touring styled automatic motorcycles/scooters with the gy6. Essentially automatic Grom or Ninja 250 clones. Now I can turn a wrench, and get along with Chinese bikes fine, but having a solid Big 3 company put out a bike in this category with dealership support and warranties will be nice.

      @Lane AWD Folks, I don't care what is done, what is acceptable in peoples view the fact is the less material you have touching the road the less traction you will have. It's a matter of physics you cannot get around.
