We’ve made a couple of upgrades to the engine package on this Honda Grom: Grom top end build: https://youtu.be/6Awk0ejj5-4 Grom exhaust upgrade: https://youtu.be/T7ei0cpPlss Grom clutch replacement: https://youtu.be/yUizHj88ftM
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.
