The diode prevents people from hot-wiring your ignition live. The ECU will only accept the (time to perform) signal when it sees the resistance of that diode. Remember this if you ever replace the keys and locks on bikes.
The diode is also present on older bikes with carburetors and points ignition and no ECU to speak of though. It can usually be removed with some creative wiring if you don't mind not having a clutch interlock for the starter. Sounds like it already served a purpose and then used to serve an additional security function since that's just a good idea when you have an ECU onboard. Otherwise I don't see why they wouldn't just use a resistor
It needs more acceleration, gearing, and top-end just for safety on our faster roads. It's not even legal on many highways. A 250cc should be offered for the USA, IMO.
But take all the grom badges and icons and replace all icons and badges on the 250 with all grom icons and badges and see if anything else from grom can be used to turn a 250 to look like a grom and then you can go picking on grom geeks with shock and awh with a monster grom or would be an insta gram
@@donniebaker5984 do you know what a grom and a 250r look lije respectively? There is nothing alike about those bikes except the basic motormounts and the badge
Loved that! When I was 16, I blew up my FS1E and bought a second hand YB100 motor and stuck that in, I was missing an engine bolt so I just stuck a big old paintbrush through it - the engine never fell out :-) I think I went from 4.8hp to 8.2!!!
My country: "Wow, a power increase from 9HP to 12HP, awesome! I can really feel the difference!" This guy: "This bike needs a little power up. Maybe 9HP to 25HP is enough."
Nicely done. You're spot on about it being more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow but it's even funner to ride a tiny bike fast with a more powerful engine. I've been wanting to put a WR250 engine & transmission in a TW200.
For fuel Air ratio adjustment, I used a resistor in between the O2 exhaust sensor and the unit. Though the ECU reads the signal digitally, it still enriches the mixture to the point where 1kOhms resistor gets black exhaust soot. But you can feel what setting works best. It's a bit of give and take. Too high of a resistor (I tried with a 1kOhms pot) and the top end suffers, but the bottom will ride great. Too low, and the bottom end suffers. So a mixture (I think I used a 250Ohms resistor, but don't quote me on that).
@@The_Cat_Authority actually the right way to do it now is with an aracer ecu. I do not know anyone with just a "retuned ecu" for their swapped grom. I have a 250 swapped sf.

I wish Honda would let us choose an upgraded 250/300 engine from the factory as an optional upgrade that would make them sell a lot more units imo. I’m going to get one but I will be engine swapping it because highway speeds at a normal rpm is a must for me.
That was interesting, & fun. I guess for the price of a Ducati Monster the job is nearly perfect and the chances of surviving are so much better than the Monster that it's easily the better choice. Plus you dont spend near as much on fuel. Nice one!
The panigale worked because they actually worked on the running gear and swingarm. Theres a 700 fzo7 grom but that had a LOT of mods to the swingarm and running gear.

Love to see that lil muscle grom. Also i like the way you explain the whole process to the audience, perhaps it will be more easier to understand if you speak lil bit slowly. Imho, but overall it's good video buddy👍🏻
When I was a teenager a few friends and I put a Yamaha 650 engine on a go cart frame.... After a few steps forward and a few steps back we had a ignorant amount of speed in a flimsy frame less than 3 inches from the asphalt. It was fast, way too fast. Yes we all maxed the thing out on our neighborhood streets, and no one got hurt... I think we lost interest in it when we all got real cars or motorcycles.
I was wondering why Kawasaki made their little z125 to be the grom killer but they didn’t put a 250 or even a 200 or even a 150 motor in it. I was guessing it had something to do with engine size laws and all that but seeing this guy put a 250 in a grom makes me very happy. If I were him I’d make the tires slightly bigger and maybe a little big bigger suspension and make it a step up from the grom in all areas. Good shit making this tho man.
Very nice power upgrade. it would be really nice if honda started offering the grom with larger engine size choices. even a 650cc would be really nice. and of course the frame and entire motorcycle would be increased in strength to handle the increased power. i just like the smaller size of the grom, but really need significantly more engine power. 125cc is not even close to enough power for my comfort. i like to be able to move out of the way quickly, as needed, when needed. and overall, i enjoy a more powerful motorcycle, while simultaneously being able to fit the motorcycle well. the grom really is the perfect size motorcycle. it just needs reinforcements where needed, and much much more power, for those of us that prefer more power to be available, at any given time.
Why not just swap the whole front end of the CBR ? Instead of worrying about controls, plugs, gauges etc... Plus get a brake and suspension upgrade presumably.
@@jasonb6570 Okay, if it works it works. My observations are from seeing three different guys kill the motors riding extended wheelies on pit bikes. If this one works out, cool. But I’d be feeling spooky.
Very detailed and clear video. I dont own a grom, but sort of wish I did after watching this video. I also love half baked questionable automotive ideas. You earned yourself a new sub my man.
From what I understand the diode is for the hiss system (honda integrated safety system) the diode converts 12v from the battery to 9v to power your ecu.
LOL! That's awesome! I'd never even heard of a Grom before. I'm not a real fan of four stroke singles, but they're OK so long as they have a decent muffler. My mind was thinking two stroke 350 twin out of a Yamaha Banshee, but that may be a wee bit of overkill lol.
The pink wire out of the ignition switch needs to see 5vdc to the ECM so you can't just cut wires twist them together and steel the bike. It's usually not even in the wiring diagram.

Should make a video to see how fast the Honda grom was going with the new engine . It looks super cool...
Quick question, Since the cbr engine now sits at a weird angle will you have any problems with the oil pick up?
Yes. Yes he will.
@@SchoolforHackers There are several build threads and reports of guys putting thousands of miles on after a 300 swap, with no damage to the engine.
@@jasonb6570 Okay, if it works it works. My observations are from seeing three different guys kill the motors riding extended wheelies on pit bikes. If this one works out, cool. But I’d be feeling spooky.
My coworker has a 250 swapped grom, he loves it
Hahahahaha it sounds like it’s under water lol
Very detailed and clear video. I dont own a grom, but sort of wish I did after watching this video. I also love half baked questionable automotive ideas. You earned yourself a new sub my man.
the question is, wouldn't it be easyer to fix the CBR and ride that?
Of course it would be easier. Where's the fun in that? With that mindset, why would anyone ever swap a more powerful engine into ANY vehicle?
From what I understand the diode is for the hiss system (honda integrated safety system) the diode converts 12v from the battery to 9v to power your ecu.
I’m so sorry you live in California.😞
and I'm sorry you don't
I have a 1990 ysr50 with a 2010 ninja 250 engine the pull is incredible and worth it.
Did it half drunk, huh? You just moved up in my RUclips channel priority. My I ask, what were you drinking?
I did the 420 accelerator kit on my r6 with many many mods. 420 chain is plenty strong and will give you more torc an power to the ground

LOL! That's awesome! I'd never even heard of a Grom before. I'm not a real fan of four stroke singles, but they're OK so long as they have a decent muffler. My mind was thinking two stroke 350 twin out of a Yamaha Banshee, but that may be a wee bit of overkill lol.
wow a creator who doesnt stall a build into 24 different videos, nice.
The pink wire out of the ignition switch needs to see 5vdc to the ECM so you can't just cut wires twist them together and steel the bike. It's usually not even in the wiring diagram.
Haven’t even bought a Grom yet and looking to do a swap. I can’t leave anything alone. Lol.
I can't believe past matt finished a project in one video, can you believe that guy.
I like your videos. You're knowledgeable and you share in such a way that the information is usable!
Dunno why I'm watching this. i own an MT07 and ive bought a CBR650R that im picking up on Saturday but I cant stop watching this 😭
