We’ve made a couple of upgrades to the engine package on this Honda Grom:
Grom top end build: • Honda Grom Top End Bui...
Grom exhaust upgrade: • Honda Grom Exhaust Ins...
Grom clutch replacement: • Honda Grom Clutch Repl...
Now, we’re going to work on handling. In this video, John will add a couple of Honda Grom suspension mods. We’ll install an Ohlins fork kit for the Honda Grom, and we’ll also add an Ohlins shock.
The shock installation on the Grom is straightforward. We’ll dig into the Grom by removing the seat release lever, the exhaust, and a couple of other items to access the shock mount bolts. John is going to install this shock upside down since the reservoir is attached to it and we need the clearance, but you can also install an Ohlins shock with a remote reservoir.
After we’re done on the back, we’ll move to the more complex job of installing the Honda Grom fork kit from Ohlins. This will involve removing and disassembling the forks, replacing the internal components, refilling the tubes, and then installing the Ohlin forks on the Grom.

In the video we’re working with a 2018 Honda Grom ABS, but you may have similar steps for your Honda Grom. If you’re not sure whether these steps apply to your machine, leave a comment and we’ll get back to you. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Such nice work. The way you work, keep your workspace clean, protect what you are working on, .... awesome.
YES! FIRST! Love this, I'll have to attempt this on my Grom myself.. great walkthrough.
Happy Holidays to you and yours, John. Hope you're doing well and keep up the fantastic work.
Love the videos, very detailed. I am teaching my 10 year old son how to wrench on bikes. We buy broken minibikes and fix them up. So you should definitely do a Honda Ruckus next!!
GOOD JOB JUAN TALLIE. LOVE THAT LOOK ON THIS GROOM. LOOKS SO GOOD. GOD WILLING... I'LL BE WAITING ON MY EMAIL.
I’ve really enjoyed this series! Would love to see a CRF 250L ( I know, I know ) that was unique! I have a 250L on my short list for first dual sport! Keep up the great vids!
holy crap those rear shocks really break the bank
@Kent Rierson Lol, don't know if you're a 2nd account of that guy's or not but....
That stuff is normally a scam/phishing method. (Considering both these comments are in at the most 1 hour of each other, I think it's more plausible you're just a 2nd account.)
Real deal mechanic,easy to follow, thank you very much sir☘
New to the channel and I must say well done to the point with all the information needed to tackle the project. I'll be purchasing the same kit for a 2021 honda monkey .
Great video guys 🦾
Enjoy the bike life
Great vid.
14:35 Is it possible that both rings would be facing the same direction from the factory? If so, would this cause a lack of damping in the opposite direction? Both of my factory glide rings had the teeth facing toward the long end of the damping rod, which the aftermarket kits call rebound damping, does that mean I did not have any compression damping? It would make a lot of sense with how easily it bottomed out from factory.
Good day to you sir... I well like to as.. If honda msx125 and honda xrm125 are they same engine they use?
Is this the last video of it? No video of the air-fuel ratio gauge installment, startup or road test?
You shouldn't torque down the top caps with the top clamp torqued... you won't have the real torque because the clamp is "crushing" the fork tube !
I have a 2019 Grom Non-ABS. I can't find the hole in the inner fork tube for the tool "locator". Pulled the inner tube out further than I think i should have and no hole.... any suggestions?
So my fork cap 36 mm bolts got blemished with some sort of chemical and it faded the black paint on them. I ordered replacements but can I just take out the old ones and replace them without removing the entire fork assembly?
You will need a 34 mm socket for the Ohlins caps, and at 11:45 that is the stock washer, not a washer that comes with the kit.
Is their any specific company anyone knows who makes better for dirt and street suspension trying to make it a backup transport vehicle for, y travel trailer and truck
What happened to this series, there were parts you talked about in earlier videos, eg the ecu which you then skipped completely ?
Whats wrong with installing shocks upside down?... does it affect the bike? Or does it work the same either way?
Time to do a 2022 model as an ADV off road (mini African Twin)model call it the "African Single" :-)
Which oil cooler kit did you use on the bike?
Is he using a socket extension on the oil bolt to lift the bike with a jack?
What size was the rear shock you installed?
refreshing to hear you talking in metric measurements :) Thanks from the rest of the world
Becoming very nice bike
I would love to see a ktm 500 exc
love to see a, Husqvarna Supermoto 701, that would be amazing.
really tho i want one of those
What’s the brand of that torque wrench?
Does this fork kit work on the CT125?
Anyone know what kind of mirrors those are?
The service manual for the Grom recommends 10W fork oil, Ohlins recommends part # 01309-01 with the FDK-111 kit for the Grom, which is their "Road and Track" but does not specify a weight. I ride the Grom mostly for commuting and weigh ~180lbs with full gear. Do you recommend the Maxima 5 weight for all circumstances when installing this kit?
Did you ever get an answer on weight?
@@ammoonlin-ki4rg I ended up going with a Racing Bros fully adjustable kit, I'm confident it's better than this non-adjustable kit designed and manufactured by Öhlins' Thai subsidiary. As far as fork oil, I went with Bel Ray High Performance 7.5w. I would recommend this setup to anyone.
Yfz450r or raptor 700 next!
16:03, Might be best to tighten the bottom two pinch bolts, then the top cap, then the top pinch bolt.
Please modify the Honda cb300. Nice bike. Thank you.
Honda CT 70. With a 212 cc engine
Dress up a Honda Trail 125 next!
is there a reason why you wouldnt replace fork seals, since everything is already disassembled? seems like cheap insurance before putting the forks back on
which seals would you rec?
@@leqthai OEM seals are always the easiest choice.
Does this have an ECE number or ABE for use on German roads?
I'm definitely doing this once I'm done with Uni lmao
This is an amazing build but I think you should do an SV650 next. I've always loved how the new SV650 feels and so do a lot of other people.
Can't believe the rear shock is soooo expensive!
pleassss modify honda cb1100ex
Where is the video of this thing running and revvimg?
Looks like they just gave up on making videos for it. Lame.
Good😘
235ml for each side, isn’t right? Sir!
Where are the rest of the upgrades or even start up?

9:45 there is absolutely no explanation how you losen that bolt...
whats the torque spec on the top fork nuts?
Way out of my scope... I will have to take my bike to a shop.
Damn that's way too much work if I have that done on a bike I'll just have you do it and pay it
