I recently picked up a Honda Grom, so I thought it’d be a great idea to introduce you guys to the dude that got me into motorcycles, my buddy Dakota Neff. He has a 2014 YZ125 2 stroke swapped Honda Grom that is an absolute riot to ride. He put a ton of effort into this build, so show him some love in the comments! #honda #grom #motorcycle

OH SHIT YOU GOT A BIKE!! Havnt watched your stuff in a while ( i know i know). Clicked on this video cause I'm a bike guy and what to you know, its DAKOTA! Sick!
Man this is awesome I want to do this with a crf150r motor
7:31 Dokota you a bitch
You need to try vasily builds 350 grom
You 100% can pull up at the pump with that. Just keep your two stroke oil in a twelve ounce baby bottle. Got 3 gallons worth right there come on now. Where theres a will theres a way boys!
I don’t know if you guys r in Florida. But u need to get the Vee touch. Look up the Vee touch. Dude is a beast when it comes to these toys
Very Cool! Good job on the conversion! Top ends 2-3x a week?
Cool bike and looks well done, now you just have to learn how to ride a 2 stroke
Wonder how it would fare against a 300 swap
Come try my bike i got 100klio and 180cc 2 stroke monster
bro is riding a honda with a yamaha engine in it and a kawasaki shirt on hahaha
How did this cost that much? You can buy a used 01 yz for 1000? Full engine rebuild 1200 if needed?custom sprocket 120 maybe $300 in custom motor mounts=7000 lol
Absolutely loved the video! Just keep in mind you don't want to engine break on 2 strokes. They only really get direct oil contact when you're on the gas.
You 100 percent can do this as a beginner. Schooled mechanics are great, but those who learn through error are just stronger in their confidence imo
“Give it some throttle? Shouldn’t”. Then he immediately starts it b my opening the throttle. You have to on a 2 stroke lol. Also, should never let a 2 stroke coast. It’s not really sucking in enough lubrication at that point
I'd say 70 tops 90? Naaaa never that lol unless u put a big bore on it
What was involved for him to do the swap? Does he have a build thread or more info on the swap?
the amount of engine braking is killing me
pls stop with the engine braking
Sad that he couldn't start the bike lol thing is really cool tho
The engine braking is driving me insane lol
Wow put a 30 hp 2 stroke on a little ass bike and it’s faster… Who would have ever thought. Maybe you should work for NASA.
I don't know man, a buddy of mine put a cbr300 motor into his grom in a damn wood shed.
5-7 k is cap i swapped mine within the price range of 2500$ and im in highschool
$5000…..on what? you can buy the whole yz125 for 2k
Save the 2stroke
Could recommend a lectron carburetor kit for the 2 stroke yz125 engine, it's around 500$ and It could increase fuel economy.
this is the exact swap ive wanted to do on my grom since i got it just plan onletting the stock motor grenade itself and ill swap it then lol oh and also all stock groms that i have ridden or ridden around will all hit about 65-70 stock with no wind its the small things that matter on theses lol
Imagine spending 150-200 hours on a conversion, and not even being able to tune a carb..
Sounds like the carb needs to be adjusted since it takes so many kicks to start
Two strokes are so much better than 4
7 grand for an engine swap? Whaaa?
the engine break
Ahh, good ole 2 strokes
85 mph isn't bad with a 300 pound fat guy on it
That engine seems trashed. Low compression. Won’t idle.
Your too big for that idiot and the engine will not carry you for long the engine's only for kids really not for large people
