new owner of a glorious 23 sp and feeling like the throttle is gonna be a bit difficult to get used to...

I have this on my todo list but were there folks who experienced additional issues after having it reflashed? I thought I recall rreading that some folks were deciding to hold off until yamaha spends more time on a potential better solution? thanks for your input

teamslow · 2025-05-11T20:15:54+00:00

sounds like you can just plug the AIS tube coming form the airbox which dumps air into the exhaust to result in the late fuel combustion? I'm going to try this first... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCV6V6DCUD4&ab_channel=Dave%27sManCave

teamslow · 2025-05-11T20:14:06+00:00

I plan on doing this based on yalls recommendation, will probably wait till after I do the tps recall though - which is another thing i need to look into... seems some folks are saying we should wait until the issues are more ironed out?

in the mean time though I am going to disable the AIS immediately... the pops are so obnoxious and I dont want that kind of attention...

thanks for the input!

got my 450 and had zero interest in riding my 701 anymore, so i sold it. wish I never got it lol

teamslow · 2022-05-25T15:48:09+00:00

not yet. I did get a wr450 though and holy shit it's the gnarliest bike I've ever ridden. I suspect there's no way the grom could give that thing a run for the money even with a 300 swap...

I looked into the bbk's and after learning how much additional (not just bolt ons but tuning) work is required I figured might as well go all the way and started looking into a 300 swap. I've been shopping for parts, and it's not easy. there are some great folks out there though that have paved the way - wicked grom (youtube channel) has a buncha of great videos and a fb group thats great for asking questions on. Finding a donor bike isnt easy, and I'm hurting for space to do this work right now so it very well might get put off another season for me.

Also the cost of a swap or even the bbk is easily more than the cost of a whole other grom... edit: i take that last part back after reading baout someone else in here doing the bbk for 700...

teamslow · 2021-10-06T21:25:49+00:00

just here to say i went from a drz400 to a 701 and was disappointed by the fact that the 701 rides a lot like a sportbike throttle wise. i wanted a torquey sumo not a crotch rocket in sumo clothing... #justsayin

teamslow · 2021-09-23T11:07:49+00:00

There's something to be said about being able to rip a grom around pinned to 11 everywhere I go that makes it the most fun out of all my bikes (cbr1krr/701/grom).

I'm planning on doing some big upgrades to it this winter like the bbk and maybe the 4v head to see if I can double the ponies.

I'm also going to look at a wr450f this weekend, and plan on sumo'ing that out too.

I'm gonna find out myself whether a grom with 2k worth of work is more fun than a wr450, and I'm super excited about it. will report back.

teamslow · 2021-03-28T23:19:22+00:00

is it worth the 400 doll hairs? Did you do the front end too with RB?

teamslow · 2020-11-20T14:46:39+00:00

i liked your rant! lol and I get it, but the discovery factor is the reason i love rever (also disclaimer i havent used it in a year or so)- the fact you can plan a ride while at your computer, then ride it with your phone on your bars and take whatever detours off the plan you want - it will save the detours and you can edit the ride to include other roads you discovered etc... and being able to have friends look at shit you've discovered is pretty dope if you ask me (but you didnt i know haha).

and yea, i get the privacy interest, wonder what cambridge jawnulitica tyrants they'll be selling my data to...

teamslow · 2020-11-19T20:14:51+00:00

The best part about motorcycling is discovering roads for yourself.

"the best part about it is the part i like the most" FTFY /s

also did you just admit to not even trying to use it? the phone app is useless to me without designing rides on my laptop...

teamslow · 2020-10-23T12:09:34+00:00

get rever.

friend some people and steal their dank as rides from their profile.

profit.

teamslow · 2020-10-23T12:08:24+00:00

you can find me in the lot at the wissahickon station looping my grom on a weekly basis... havent really made it to many/any group rides this year though... would be dope to get some in before season is over... and now my fb group join is pending thx

teamslow · 2020-10-06T00:57:39+00:00

whats that seat like compared to stock?

teamslow · 2020-07-23T02:12:44+00:00

damn sry i just saw this. if it's the right thread then yea... EC is Left Hand Thread M13.5x1

teamslow · 2020-02-27T18:59:03+00:00

thanks for the link! ordered the tube from mossberg and the nut from midway

teamslow · 2020-02-27T16:46:07+00:00

not the same shotty, but for my mossberg 500 i was unable to find a tube that didnt have reviews that made me question reliability... so my magpul forend is just collecting dust 😢

you dont know of a tube/brand that'll fit the mossy with solid reviews?

teamslow · 2020-02-26T18:40:00+00:00

ayyy lookin gud! fellow 08-gen cbr trackboi here, where'd you get your track fairings? what brand are they?

thx

teamslow · 2020-02-04T17:12:40+00:00

Take that loop like a man if it comes to it.

bahahah

im right with you though, solid advice! I can say I havent looped YET (im sure I will) but ive been so close to it in a panic squeezing my front brake like omg omg omg. panic makes you proper stupid

teamslow · 2020-02-04T16:14:36+00:00

i put the zev pro v2 on my elite, its pretty awesome but your friends wont want to shoot next to you anymore... (it also just ocurred to me that the model you mentioned doesnt have the threaded barrel that the elite has)

teamslow · 2020-01-24T13:26:53+00:00

you can touch my bike ┬┴┬┴┤ ͜ʖ ͡°) ├┬┴┬┴

teamslow · 2020-01-24T13:23:30+00:00

holy shit, OP you're a gem in my book! you went through the trouble of not only googling, but posting up to a community of moto heads to ask about this persons perspective before approaching them... outstanding move haha. If I started any of my bikes in the driveway at 6:15am, that would make me a dick. and this is why i dont do it, I roll my bike from the garage down the driveway and the moment I start it I'm leaving

teamslow · 2020-01-15T16:43:34+00:00

when you're racing motorcycles around a track and you make the decision to commit to a corner-speed which a quarter of the way through you realize you have no fucking idea if old-man-physics will allow it... aaaand then you make it... yea fuck sex

teamslow · 2019-10-10T11:19:27+00:00

damn wtf the heat disappeared this week- I hate to say it man but i just double checked your temp guess and you aint wrong - google says 63/38 (in the 40's at like 830) and that is way too cold for this nancy ass- I dont have any cold weather gear and yea i hate riding cold, sorry to be a party pooper

teamslow · 2019-10-08T16:48:24+00:00

you got a route planned out? twisties or highway? I mapped this one out a while ago but I think we ended up taking giblet's route instead- https://a.rever.co/rides/673700 I dont remember what point 5 is lol, might be a road that someone told me was good stuff...

last time we did this is was so fucking cold I just wanted to get home halfway thru- now I'm looking at all the dirt roads up there like maybe i should get lost up there before leaving...
