Honda Grom Dirt Bike! Maxxis M6024 Tire Install And Fender Mod
what is going on you guys I hope you all are having a great day so I’m gonna rush right now have some plans for the ground you already saw the title let’s get it done feels great I will explain all of this in a second well this is sketchy alright guys sorry for the rush there is literally not enough time in the day so I know a while back I talked about wanting to turn my Grom into a dual sport and I don’t want to say that my mind’s changed but I do want to do something a little bit different so I’m still gonna do a few dual sport oriented mods but I’m also gonna use it as a stunt bike so I’m not gonna go over the top with the dual sport stuff but as you guys know I love to go off-roading so we did it guys we picked up some Max’s tires the local power sports dealer only had front ones in stock so I got a brand new front with a slightly used rear huge shout-out to Shannon Wilson go ahead and give him a follow so I didn’t want to change these myself because my wheels are still in perfect condition and I don’t really have the right tools to do it I do all my dirt bike tires myself but that’s a little bit different I usually don’t care about the wheels on those so my buddy Tyler’s dad knows somebody that has a tire shop in Delaware so I’m headed there right now got an hour till close so hopefully you can get it done so we can go riding tonight but I’m on my way to pick up Kylie right now so I’ll check back in with you when we get there what’s happening good oh you would not believe 2007 gsxr 600 fairings it their wheel chuck did not fit the ground wheels they’re too small so he’s gonna have to make something custom in order to do it I really don’t want to go to a dealership because they charge a ridiculous amount of money to do it I would rather support a local shop and get it done so we’ll see what happens I might have to spoon them I don’t want to tear up my wheels but we’ll see the next – well you guys we’ve made it back home from the stealer ship got the wheels with me I’m so happy with the way they look like I said my buddy Shannon hooked it up with this tire as you can see it’s pretty worn down so I might as well start with two new ones and I’ll probably give us back to
them but here they are would you just take a look at that they look so good got the gold rim stripes still on there from decal dino guys I’ve been wanting to run these since I got my crumb I finally have them on there and I couldn’t be any happier check out the meat on that whoo here they are side-by-side this is the rear one obviously quite a bit wider these are pretty well worn down compared to the new ones so I’m happy with that the Grom is still standing surprisingly but I’m gonna go get a Lexus right now and we’re gonna try to put these back on the bike all right guys so time for the not so fun part I’m gonna be completely honest but I’m gonna start with the front first just so I can show you my bike is probably gonna fall in the process this will be interesting you just want to make sure that your brake pads are separated so you can get the disc in you can just stick a flathead in there and kind of work I’m open go ahead and put your spacers in you don’t want to forget those I was curious to see how these nabis would fit underneath this fender so we will see boom got the front end you definitely want a better stand than this guys this is what I call the rednecks special also definitely make sure that these are torque to spec the front is 40 foot-pounds in the rear is 44 you know me most of the time I don’t worry about torque but this is definitely one of those that I always make sure is torque to spec now the back is definitely a lot more tasking than the front you have to get the disk on and ninja 300 fairings the spacer on the caliper as well as fitting this drum inside of the wheel perfectly so it’s definitely a lot more involving but you can get it done make sure you have your spacers in and ready beforehand all right so you’re gonna want to start by putting your axle in your chain adjuster go ahead and pick up the wheel all right chain adjuster fell out definitely get your axle started going through the left side as soon as you can it kind of helps take the weight off of everything but after that if you don’t want to put your caliper on whoa and now here’s where you want to tighten your chain and get your wheel into alignment and after doing this a few times you’re definitely gonna want some aftermarket chain adjusters I’m gonna go ahead and tighten that lock nut down torque to spec you ever pick up a ground whoa we have knobbies so as you guys know I’ve been doing a lot of off-roading lately on the ground and we’ve been doing some pretty serious stuff and I know a few of you guys noticed but some of you didn’t you guys thought I was still running the street tires but I wanted to be sure to do a good review of these tires for any of you out there that are interested I also just did one last minute modification and I think you guys are gonna like it dude that looks dope with no fun girl you see how much stuff’s caked in there oh my god I know it’s like 10 pounds yeah but do you see the black marks where it was like burning out against the fender the neck very that is crazy so now I was thinking one last thing it’s gonna be pretty redneck but it might work the problem with doing this is the water literally will just like shoot up like straight into your face so I think I got some little dirtbike plastics like outside the ground man you could just runs it tight right here oh heck you’re out on that around this dude that looks bad what you doing there oh you know just some custom modifications here I’m going with the factory Kawasaki fender on the ground it’s actually the rear fender I’ll take a hex 100 faceting by zip ties only oh come on you all have faith in zip ties zip ties are 2008 zx6r fairings the best now that just stuff you do zip ties are
the best invention I make sure we put some of my backpack this side looks a little loose right here it is Kawasaki Grom check that out man you got some Kawasaki vibes going on here don’t be alarmed but these tires will fit with the stock fender but the problem comes when you start to get in some thick mud and go through some clay that fender will actually clog up with mud if you guys remember one of my videos way back when I got stuck at a construction site and I almost had to call somebody to pick me up because my fender got clogged oh I’m gonna regret this oh crap Oh guys we just got stuck oh look at that mud my front tire has so much mud in it that it’s not spinning I’m getting worried here yes oh one of the guys on the Morgantown trip wasn’t running a Fender at all and it was just shooting water and mud like straight up into his face so I didn’t want to do that but I also wanted to take it off so we can really have some fun today so I had an old KX 100 rear fender sitting around and I just mounted it up and motorcycle fairings it actually looks pretty good guys I think in the future I’m actually gonna trim this down and see if I can get it to fit up in here to give it a nicer cleaner look Plasti Dip it black or something and I mean he could buy a supermoto fender for these but I just thought it was hilarious and it actually fits fairly well and it’s gonna do the job just fine but so far you guys I am loving them on my last off-road ride this is what I was running no I was not running the street tires that kind of riding would literally be impossible on the street tires so finally got the nobbies on they’re headed into town right now to meet up with a scooter crew we’re gonna see what we can get into should be a good day I’ll take you along with me enjoy the ride Oh oh my gosh oh my god dude this is definitely a trail that was definitely a gunshot oh that was harsh that’s no good [Applause]
