Glad you're enjoying the bike, they're great. Also best practice would to be just forget neutral and keep it in 1st at red lights so you can take off if a cage comes in to quick behind you.
I highly recommend get the shift shaft support and it will help u go into neutral a lot easier. Won’t get rid of the problem all the way but it for sure makes it a lot easier to find and also makes shifting a lot better
I'm for sure getting one but not sure if new or used. It'll be my first. Online marketplace might be the move. I live in Mexico City so it'll be tons of fun but it's been tough finding distributors who sell new. Safe riding
Hi shred , your dead right the groms are a blast , anyone who is unsure just go for it , ive 2 groms 5 speed , and monkeybike 5 speed and 4 benelli tnt’s ,the groms is the best road bike , just ,the monkey is a hoot and the seat is the best , benelli’s are impressive too , all are immense fun ,🏍🏍👍👍greeting from England , I’m a 60 year old teenager and proud of it !!
@@dillonwilber3722 hi sorry Dillon I’ve just donated a grom to a local nun so she can nip out from the convent , to buy her cigarettes and booze from the nearest shop 🏍🏍👍👍👎👎
Yup, its the transmission. Its hit or miss and honda will replace it free of charge. My buddies grom was 5 months out of warranty and they still honored it.
@@TwoFeetDown92 ahh okay gotcha, you think i should buy a grom as a first bike or get like a 600 ? I rode a grom last year but literallly up and down the street and it was. Fun but first time ever on one, and if grom you think i should get a 2020 or a 2024?
*I got mine a little over a week ago and already have 350 miles on it, finding every excuse to ride such a fun and easy bike to ride. I’m paying $16 a month for insurance!*
got my 1st grom April 7th, been busy plus crappy weather...so only 80 mi so far. love it tho. not thrilled with insurance mine about 26/mo liability. ty for vlogs
Yes I’ll definitely make one! I use the DJI action 2 camera usually on my helmet chin mount but new helmet so I was rocking my chest mount in this video and using my movo mini wireless microphone.
Do what I did, was saving for an africa twin and ended up buying a grom and cb500x lol Edit Pay cash if you can, first time Ive never had to finance and its amazing. You buy it and its yours instead of the dealers for 5 months lol
This man has a dc shoes tattoo on his forearm 😭. Is your name Kyle and if so slap a Monster Energy sticker on the side of that bad boy and call it a damn day 😂
FOREMOST INSURANCE is the best hands down they mainly deal with motorcycles boats atv etc and they r owned by Farmers Insurance from my understanding.. I have a ZX10RR and for full coverage for that bike and 2 Groms is $100 bucks and $85 of that is for the ZX10RR. Definitely give them a shot
@@robgoose8126 I have two past dwi from when I was an alcoholic so I know for a fact they have the best pricing for me atleast and a lot of ppl I ride with have the same insurance as well. I did shop around though but everyone was higher. Have u reached out to Foremost? But 3 bikes full coverage which includes free towing and all the extra goodies I can’t complain at all. Also it does depend on where u live and your age because I’m in Dallas and a lot of ppl who have a clean driving record have said they pay more and have switched to foremost. My Uncle has his own insurance thing and shops with all the companies so I know for my situation I have the best deal as of now but things will change after a few years. But nice to know there may be another company that’s cheaper for others for sure
Very nice but either you won’t be disappointed. I will say that coming from owning big bikes like gsxr750 and other medium size bikes the grom is just a blast to fool around on through town.
@@focuskid22 I ride it everyday 60 miles to and from work haha! Got my 12 bar coming in. Very excited for it. I’ve noticed people either love it or hate it.
Wow I wish I had more ride time. If I do ride it too work it’s only a 4 mile ride lol I’ve had it for a month in a couple days and only put 260 so far. I’ve only put an exhaust on mine
Pretty close to mine as well, $119 yearly. Loving my Grom, just wish I didnt get stuck with silver w green highlights color. Been slowly working on vinyl wrapping the whole thing, and have a vinyl cutter to make some custom Grom lettering.
@@focuskid22 I don't think a whole set of plastics was in my budget 😂. The vinyl was a fraction of the cost and I had all winter to do it.

Every honda I have ever bought has been through them.

Hell yeah my friend! Do you mind me asking who your insurance is though?
I've tried the Yoshimura exhaust on a grom and it sounds incredible, it's got a great crackle
I ended up with the Kemimoto Amazon exhaust and I’m very pleased with it.
My insurance is $149/year for full coverage.. had no difference in ABS/non-ABS
Not bad at all

I really want a grom and a rebel 500. Which should I buy
Depends on the majority use of which your gonna do.

My middle name is Kyle actually and I also skate and mountain bike.
I thought I was the only one. Yeah, it’s hard to put a neutral. I just bought one. I got the red one and it’s hard to put in neutral.
I have a 2023 grom insured through GEICO as well. My policy is $77 for the year. I am in California if that changes anything.
That’s great! I don’t how but must be something different like age, record, idk lol
Do you have abs? I wonder if that makes a difference in insurance cost..
Mine does not. It probably does!
@@iamrishio mine does not.

They are so fun. I love mine.
18.79 a month through state farm.
is it ok just to stay in 1st at a red light instead of going into neutral?
Yeah but I like to go into neutral when it just turns red and rest a moment.
It’s actually best to be in gear 1 at any red light, in case you need to accelerate in sudden danger
My insurance is $110 a yr just liability. Full coverage was gonna be like 250 I think. In NC. Yes neutral is hard. Gotta go from 2nd slight tap down
Was thinking about getting one for my first bike later on, but thinking its better to maybe put the money towards a Z400 instead idk
Very nice but either you won’t be disappointed. I will say that coming from owning big bikes like gsxr750 and other medium size bikes the grom is just a blast to fool around on through town.
You can ride 🏍️🔥🔥
what is the top speed on this grom?
The fastest I’ve had it was 72 full tuck and it takes awhile lol. I can cruise between 60-65 full throttle sitting up and flat road.
@@focuskid22 I hit 75 mph tucking HARD on flat ground
@@AT-kt4wy I prob could if had more time lol
May I ask you something? What's the difference between 2021, 22 and the new 2023? Is there anything different than the color? :)
Well the 22 and newer is the new generation. The plastics are all new and it gets a 5th gear added as to older years only having 4 gears
