I've been a mechanic for more than 35 years, It's really nice to watch your videos. You demonstrate a great working knowledge and name components as you work on them..great work. I've just bought a grom and have been watching videos . 90 percent of them don't really display a comprehensive knowledge of what they work on.. Keep up the good work. cheers from rocket in Australia
I’m a Honda guy, so I’d Love to see a ‘modding’ series on a lightweight dual sport 4 stroke …. a CRF250 ## (there are so many variants R RX L etc) And EXCELLENT Instructional videos. Very professional, thorough … Best that I’ve seen yet 🏆
Every now and then when kick around another mod. We've done a Grom, we're adding a turbo on a YXZ1000 now, and we're always looking for another project. We'll add this to the bucket list.
Nut-drivers make tightening hose clamps delightful : ) In shop I worked, we were forbidden from using silicone spray because it's so fish-eye bad for anything that's painted. For hoses, we often used a bit soap, or soak the hose in a bit of hot water, to soften it.
At 2:51 hes got the valve in backwards. The spring side should be pointed towrard the sensor. Small end with the rubber needs to be pointed towards the throttle body
This exhaust is slightly restrictive for the Koso 170cc 4v due to the fact the exhaust inlet hole is so much smaller than the Koso Exhaust outlet on the head, bottle necks really badly. Maxed this exhaust at 21.5 whp. Switched the exhaust to Brocks and made 26whp although lost some bottom end due to the brocks not having that loop system. Love the look though.
There was a hose (vacuum or breather?) that attached to the stock intake manifold on the brass connection that didn't seem to have a spot on the new Koso Intake. Did you run into the same problem? What did you do with that hose?
Isn't the the internal part of the idle control valve on backwards? The seat set part is backwards. Looking at the diagram from Koso shows the nipple facing into the throttle body.
I know this is an old video. but do we really need the "air box"? Isn't there and K&N filter that will clamp right onto the throttle body intake then we can just discard or store the air box somewhere for later or never?
Awesome video as usual. anyone else have the issue where the nut for the throttle stop was loose out the box? Aslo I cannot fund the actual idle setting procedure anywhere i have the same exact setu with PCV and Wideband 2 with custom exhaust.
I have seen on RUclips a kid racing his PW80 and it looks as fast as a YZ80 ,I bought my daughter a brand new (2004 at the time) still have it MINT ,put on FULL FMF, The X-TENDER rear lift Bush from America new bars etc but even though I've opened up airbox, played with jets and had full exhaust it'll NOT REV out like others I've seen. So i know MANY people who would LOVE to know how to get these brilliant little 2 strokes to REV OUT ,JEEZ MY PETROL STRIMMER REVS HARDER (ANY IDEAS) Loved this as I'm thinking of getting a Grom thanks SCOOBS UK.
hi john talley i have a question for you i have a 2017 honda grom and it was running fine but yesterday it was going working right. it was losing power like i was giving some throttle and it wasnt going fast it got me home. it turns on but when you give it some throttle it doesnt responded. i change the spark plug and put new gas in it. what do you think its wrong with it so i can get it back working right again. thanks
Get a fairly standard single or twin bike from the 1960s/1970s era and modernise it. Is fuel injection possible and disc brake front wheel, what suspension improvements are possible.
For inside the airbox does a velocity stack that works with the stock connecting tube work for the Koso connecting tube? I didn't see on the video where you showed inside the airbox.
in thailand we call this bike MSX125 your exhaust yoshimura so nice and i want to make my bike like this....... but i don't have enough money to buy any item like this :(
These videos are a HUUUUGE help, seriously.

Can't wait to hear how the bike... I mean, my bike... sounds like! Great job John!

That double nut on the exhaust studs awesome
noticed you have all SnapOn tools except your hex sockets. those craftsman ones have rounded on me over the years.

You make over 20hp on a grom? Wow
Been 3 months no video of grom exhaust
Still no video of it running?

Please compare after this upgrade, but with stock muffler vs aftermarket. I still wanna use stock muffler.

I'd love to see you build up a 2021 Honda adv
I would love to hear the sound of that exhaust
It's coming!
Need some help on my 83 Honda ct110 what can i do about a bad cdi ignition model since honda no longer makes one?

Is it possible to eliminate the stock air filter assembly altogether and replace it with a Unifilter pod filter?
^^^^^^^exact words^^^^^^^
There's a moped in the philippines RS125 FI. For experiment if that koso bigbore kita would fit. They have similar engine tho
Would this build be identical to a super cub?
I would like to see you do the same for a z125 Kawasaki and or the Chinese clon Grom.

So does that mean I can add a 34MM throttle body on my stock 125cc ?
How about the limiter on the stock E. C. U?
how much it cost to swap one like this? or how to buy one already built?
Thx for the vid. Looking forward for the other videos
What total cost ?
Excellent presentation.
Thank you kindly!
WHERE IS THE FOLLOW UP VIDEO TO THIS ONE?
Can you do a timing inspection on a 1997 to 2006 klx300r?
I would love to improvement to Honda NAVI
I wanna see a cb1000r modified... or an older cb919 😊
I hope you can modify the engine of a XR 650L...

In malaysia we can make this bike go 200km/h or 120mph
How did it run?
new subscriber here sir.. ☺️ Very nice video installation tutorial.

I think you're upside down to install idle air control
That must be the biggest air box per cc of any bike on the road.
30 years old. Right
That works for a 2017 125
Icebear trike 150cc
Nice honda
The world of almost fit.
