- I recently picked up a Honda Grom, so I thought it'd be a great idea to introduce you guys to the dude that got me into motorcycles, my buddy Dakota Neff. He has a 2014 YZ125 2 stroke swapped Honda Grom that is an absolute riot to ride. He put a ton of effort into this build, so show him some love in the comments! #honda #grom #motorcycle

You 100 percent can do this as a beginner. Schooled mechanics are great, but those who learn through error are just stronger in their confidence imo
Good point!
Yeah, I agree. Been messing with 2 strokes myself for more than a year.
That said, it is never exactly a good time, I mean, I'm into it, but even I get stressed the H out sometimes and wish I made better decisions.
the only way to not screw up is too screw up enough too learn from it
No you really can well if you have common sense I was like 10 doing stuff like this and now I’m when I work on bike shit be kinda crazy to me because I really know what I’m doing at 16 all my friends come to me for motor stuff
@@junior1896bruh literally be stressing
Imagine spending 150-200 hours on a conversion, and not even being able to tune a carb..
Was gone say all that work just so it can’t run CRISSSPPPP how it’s posted too wdf
It ran fine, in my opinion it's running a bit rich and I don't blame him with it being used on road, if he wanting it crisp he would go more lean nice on track but on road nah rather run rich and get more hours out the bike then have that crisp noise and get less hours out the top end, bike is fine
@@bobthenob9017 good point, but a little rich/crisp.. it’s .. well.. not really running as evident in the video hahaha. But I get your point. Also, idle is controlled by the pilot jet which hardly affects running rich, aka won’t affect the cylinder blabla too much as you I suppose are stating. You could run rich on the main but have the pilot jetted well..
@@okerhrh4139I run my daily bike lean and have 8000km in the bike and it’s still fine
@@hubertkam7647 so you run a 2stroke dirt bike as your daily coz I know you ain't just mentioned a 4 stoke road bike when nobody was even talking about one lol complete different thing 😂😂😂
the amount of engine braking is killing me
Two strokes have next to no engine braking
@What’s not the braking part, he is talking about the engine itself. 2 strokes get oil from their fule and when you engine brake, your rpms are high but because you only have a carburetor your engine starves of oil
Have ever had 2 stroke, like really
Yea 2 strokes don’t like that
Yep, coasting a 2t in gear (not clutched) is BAD.
Props to you for starting it up right away when it died on that public street. I would simply ✨p a n i c✨ 😂
*slight panic intensifies*
You could also bump start it easily.
I owned a trx450 for 4 years and did some small mods so it was quick but nothing nuts. The first time a friend let me drive his also slightly modded banshee I could not believe how fast that thing was. It felt like a bike. The powerband was so real and felt almost like a turbo! Such a nutty machine!
2 strokes are incredible!
Absolutely loved the video! Just keep in mind you don't want to engine break on 2 strokes. They only really get direct oil contact when you're on the gas.
Thank you for the comment! I'm a noob when it comes to riding a 2 stroke obviously. That makes sense now. Appreciate the info, glad it was just up and down the street!
@@DakotaStone yeah ofc, this Is the first video of yours I've seen. But I'll be watching from now on!
yeah that was tough to listen too
this is wrong, oil stays in the crankcase for a long ass time, you dont hurt it by engine braking. engine brake down a steep ass hill and tke the top end off, itll still be oily as fu. Ive been engine braking my street bike 2 strokes for over a decade with 10s of thousnds of miles with no harm done at all
@@bluestripes1 ya I’m not sure you know how these engines work buddy
Neff. Way to go, buddy. You popped up on my recommended. This project turned out fantastic. I miss working with you.👍👍👍🤛
My idea just became a reality with 10x the fun!
Thanks for sharing bro and more power!
Common W Dakota Upload! I don't think I have ever heard Dakota get as giggly in this video than any other video/stream he has ever done lmao. That thing looks like an absolute hoot to drive! Fun video! Btw I am watching from work lmao
I call that the adrenaline giggle.
Your laugh always gets me haha. Love ya bro! Seems like you had a blast!
honestly, minus the cost of the grom and engine you can do the swap for like $200. but getting a running 125 or 250 2 stroke is the expensive bit if you already have a gorm
Probably the craziest one I've seen with a 2T is a banshee swapped grom, obviously not in person unfortunately cause I'd definitely want to try it 😆
great build it looks incredible
Can we just appreciate the guys size props to you bro I'm big and I ride small bikes too nothing like the toy life 👌😅❤️
BIG BOYS UNITE!
Been waiting for big guy little bikes all week! 🎉
BIG GUYS ON A LITTLE BIKEEEE 🔥🔥🔥
@@DakotaStone TAKE IT OFF YOUR GONNA RIP IT!!
Could recommend a lectron carburetor kit for the 2 stroke yz125 engine, it's around 500$ and It could increase fuel economy.
They suck
Bad ass build! I love that. Yamaha powered Honda and owner is wearing a Kawasaki shirt. My only grips is the bike should start first kick at top-dead-center with no throttle. It was strange seeing you have to start with full throttle 🤔. Almost like theres something iffy with the fueling.
That bike looks like so much fun 👍🏆.
i see dakota has been watching some ronnie mac. nice eagle scream sound effects
Dude that is fkn sick!!!
I really dig your headlight set up, would you mind telling me what light it is and the plate you use above it, thanks. Nice video
this is the exact swap ive wanted to do on my grom since i got it just plan onletting the stock motor grenade itself and ill swap it then lol oh and also all stock groms that i have ridden or ridden around will all hit about 65-70 stock with no wind its the small things that matter on theses lol
OH SHIT YOU GOT A BIKE!! Havnt watched your stuff in a while ( i know i know). Clicked on this video cause I'm a bike guy and what to you know, its DAKOTA! Sick!
No worries, Neil. Glad you tuned into this one! Check my other video out where i show off the grom I picked up!
Dude sounded like me when I opened up on my cousins honda 954rr. By the time I got to 4th gear I had the giggles so bad I had to pull over.
Oh. Shared it with the boys.
Another great video not that much into bikes but fucking wit the content still🔥🔥
Josh, it means the world you check out the content regardless of subject. You a real one. Thank you so much
I'm here for any and all motorcycle content please!
HELL YEAH ROBBIE!
I thought the title said you swapped yours😂😂😂😂 I was like damn that didn't take long😂😂😂
Hahahaha no no no not yet at least 😅
That shit looks factory 🔥🔥🔥😩 I would love this
The engine braking is driving me insane lol
What’s wrong with engine braking?
@@cullenheather5875 piston doesn't get the right amount of oil because the transmission is driving it
@@osmo240 Based.
@@cullenheather5875 its not four stroke
When he said “No clutch” I was thinking the same thing 😂
I probably spent about the same amount of money on mine, however the company/ guy that built mine stole it and never returned it so I am very envious!
Soooooo cool! I have a yz125x and it’s way bigger then this bike :) I bet this thing flies lol
That little girly giggle was funny as hell !
this bike is sick
Such a blast!
I was wondering if he beat his buddy that he intended to race? I also was wondering if you still have the stock fuel injection system and if so would you be interested in selling it thanks for your time. Bike sick I bet the power band kick is was what all the laugh were from definitely a different filling. 👍💪🏍️🛠️💯🍻✌️
very nice. only down side is you'll have to carry a bottle of 2 stroke oil at every gas station
What was involved for him to do the swap? Does he have a build thread or more info on the swap?
the motorbraking/coasting without clutch hurts my soul 😫
I’m sorry 😢 I learned my lesson I promise
@@DakotaStone its fine bro nobody knows this their first time. I didnt know either at first😅🤣
Cool bike and looks well done, now you just have to learn how to ride a 2 stroke
I’m going to be honest, this was my first time riding a 2 stroke. Besides the one moped I had way back in the day but that doesn’t count.
@@DakotaStone us two smoke bois could tell 🤫 great video though
@@DakotaStoneviolation. Moped boys rise up !
That is cool
Very Cool! Good job on the conversion! Top ends 2-3x a week?
He hasn’t had to do it yet, but expecting to do it very frequently
thats how i felt when i was 10 and got my kx big wheel
He said don’t throttle it to start it but he throttled it when he started it 😂😂😂
No throttle if choke is on, or you will surely flood. Hitting some throttle as you kick can help a tough starter.
Man this is awesome I want to do this with a crf150r motor
Glad you enjoyed! That would be a gnarly swap too!
that’s the first thing 🧐 came to my mind i said imagine a 150f motor and i wonder will it fit cuz it would be insane
You need to try vasily builds 350 grom
👀
I want one now
Do it, you wont be disappointed.
Can’t wait for the off-road Grom video 💀
I going to build one one day
Kicking a 125 should not be difficult at allll. If it starts hard it's jetted wrong. If it's hot it should flame first kick with a crack of throttle... The saying if you can start it you can ride it came from the old open bikes like 400 and up displacement. Not 125s lol. Still rad idea and build. Seeing the expansion pipe on a grom looked sick! Looked like the engine came factory... well done!
how were the mounts to make?
Big dude, needs to start on a 250 swap now
Cute 😅 I’ve fitted a KTM EXC300 2 stroke in my Grom 😬
Always wanted to put a 500 two-stroke in a Ninja 250 chassis😊
It's cool as hell though!
I don’t know if you guys r in Florida. But u need to get the Vee touch. Look up the Vee touch. Dude is a beast when it comes to these toys
We’re in Wisconsin 😅😅
Hi, i have to know where I can find your New Balance shoes. What is the name of the model?
I'm also a tuner and that idle jet and fuel air mix is wack....but a great bike for swapping ends at 80.😉
Kickstarter hits footpeg can't have everything. Impressive # of tuners here. Do they still tune with needle taper and slide cutaways. I had a 490 Yam that was pretty fussy to get it right. You thinking your going to lean it out to make power be my guest. How many top ends have you replaced. The guy barely got that bike warmed up.
Fuck man that ride is beautiful bro congratulations on a CHERRY ASS MTRFKN BUILD HOMEBOY!! CHEERS FROM ELA CA , RIDE HARD N RIDE SAFE MINI HEADS, and again Thanks for showing and sharing your bad MTFKR with us!✌️😎👍🛵🏍️🎱💣💯💯
Oh it’s me!
NEFFFFFFFF
That bike sounds like its running rich down low which would explain the hard starting. The pilot circuit is not happy it shouldn't burp or sputter rolling on throttle (or die like it did at that stop sign) and its rough and too smokey at mid throttle. I would check the plugs and maybe thin out the main jet 1 or 2 sizes, make sure the air filter isn't dirty, and check the needle position. I'm not sure about the YZ but most carbs work best with second clip position from top. dropping the clip riches it and raising leans it. Also I would open up the air screw a quarter turn and see how the bike responds at idle and roll on throttle. Or she could just be cold in which case DO NOT rip it like that until she gets some heat into her.
Wow just wow 😅👌
I’m a 2 stroke guy it’s in my DNA lol
5-7k? Why? How? I guess the radiator part would be tricky. Sick build though. Great video. I want one.
The thing is he just could have gotten a modded derbi or aprilia 50 or even a 125 aprilia sumo or a Honda and it have more or the same power for like €1500 and it would be full size bike which weighs less than the grom
Hey guys anyone know if these engine mounts kit fit on a skyteam monkey bike? Thanks in advance
what fabrication has to be done?
How can it possibly get 50 mpg??!
What's the top speed?
Sounds like the carb needs to be adjusted since it takes so many kicks to start
Should put klx 50 bars on lol 😎🔥🤜🤛
You didn’t twist the throttle back at all, the carb didn’t get a shot!
Were you at Road America
Suuuper sweet my bros but why not a CR engine and keep er all Honder?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
i still remember riding the NSR150 back in highschool.
since then been on many superbikes but never got hat feeling of being sucked into the point ahead of me
2 strokes need to come back
Wonder how it would fare against a 300 swap
👀 only one way to find out.. do it up!
Definitely should of have it a lil gas when trying to start it lol
bruh how can you use 5k on a grom that you swap with 2001 yz engine
"You cant pump gas", Oh yes you can, just mix it in your tank :D That was the way years ago and still is.
請問一下這台車的引擎是用什麼車的改裝
是什麼引擎?
The engine braking on a 2-stroke😢
hes riding it like a 4 stroke hurts to watch
First time riding a two stroke! Luckily it wasn’t far, just up and down the street!
@@DakotaStone gotta learn some how lol, sick ass build tho
@@DakotaStone well you live and you learn, the clutch is your bestfriend when riding a 2t
How did this cost that much? You can buy a used 01 yz for 1000? Full engine rebuild 1200 if needed?custom sprocket 120 maybe $300 in custom motor mounts=7000 lol
You know how working on cars and bikes goes. Usually end up taking a few trips/ordering more when you’re working on a big project. Also, not really finding any yz125s for $1,000 near us
He says no gas, then immediately cranks that's throttle and starts it😂 two strokes lol
crisp
Ktm 150 tpi so you don’t have to worry about mixing 🤷🏻♂️
Big 🧠
✍🏼mix gas✍🏼haul ass✍🏼
📝
No directionals lol what happened to your hand signals 😮
Sad that he couldn't start the bike lol thing is really cool tho
Hey now, I eventually got it lmao
@@DakotaStone Haha nice video man bike is really cool
Kick starting a 125 is not an inconvenience 😂
normally a 2 stroke isnt that hard to start, sounds like its running rich or its getting to much oil
Man can u guy such pre built engines somewhere?
“Give it some throttle? Shouldn’t”. Then he immediately starts it b my opening the throttle. You have to on a 2 stroke lol. Also, should never let a 2 stroke coast. It’s not really sucking in enough lubrication at that point
I think it was because we JUST had it running before to move it over here. But absolutely, my nooby mistake not having rode 2 strokes before
Ahh, good ole 2 strokes
So much joy
5-7k how?
Idk about that engine price tag 5-7k doesn't add up to me
Alright Honda Grom , yamaha engine, Kawasaki shirt! All great brands
He got honda bike with a yamaha engine and he has kawasaki shirt! Thats a lot!
bro is riding a honda with a yamaha engine in it and a kawasaki shirt on hahaha
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COMMENT! Hahahaha
@@DakotaStone and two ducati's at home haha
Couple of Suzukis too haha
Think you from Morrocco
Pissed off chainsaw v queefer deluxe...
I don't know man, a buddy of mine put a cbr300 motor into his grom in a damn wood shed.
Make a video of it! I’d love to see
@@DakotaStone I wish! He moved half the country away. He also built a subie swapped beetle, the radiator doubled as a spoiler sticking out of the back lol
wonder how fast it goes since a 50cc 2 stroke moped can already get to 50mph just with the right tuning and parts also idk if u ever used a bike with kickstart but you need to build compression not jsut kick nonstop untill u lose ur legg
50cc mopeds go 50mph stock with restrictions removed lmao tuned 70-80cc mopeds hit 140-150kmh easily
@@MV-ri7zu show me please since i havent seen a gilera runner 180cc go 150kmp
@@Jay-rd6fe the 180cc is a 4 stroke piece of shit
@@Jay-rd6fe since I cant post a link search for a video called "Derbi Gpr malossi top speed NEW" he does 160kmh+ to speedometer so 140-150 real speed. Thats just one example. 125cc dirtbikes do 170-180kmh on road tires and longer gearing lol so 150 is easy.
@@MV-ri7zu yeah i forgot we were talking about motorscycle and not mopeds xD yeah motorscycle 2 stroke u can do more with diffrent teeth and such to make the top end even further
