Very long detailed nearly 30min deep dive on the install with helpful pointers for someone looking to learn how to do it from my video. If your watching for entertainment, please play at 2X speed & see it all in 14 min :) 

Installing Kitaco Clutch Cover Filter + Oil Cooler Adapter & Sight Glass kit that removes the stock oil spinner, removing nearly 2.5lbs of rotating mass from the engine making rev matching easier & lightening the bike. The oil filter setup keeps the engine oil cleaner longer & makes oil changes 10X easier :) The optically clear glass sight in the cover enables inspection of the oil level & color for analysis easily on the fly! 

Hardracing LLC provided the kit, special thanks! 

Thanks for watching. This series part of a path to make the Grom safer, longer lasting & slightly faster with a bit more power. So far the modifications include a full loop stainless steel ZOOM exhaust, power commander V & chimera cold air intake with K&N cone filter. A rear fender delete kit & now this Kitco clutch cover filter setup. 

Next video we will see the 3 row Kitaco oil cooler being installed. 

Future video an addition to the PCV called WBC2 or wideband tuner optimized for Grom SF by Hardracing LLC will be added, a bung tig welded to the exhaust for the Bosch 5 wire wideband O2 sensor & an AF gauge that will enable a future big bore Kit Takegawa 143cc + Koso enhanced intake to enable the Grom to make 14-15 HP, up from 9.7 stock. A koso enhanced oil pump, EBC clutch springs, & Opmid temp sensor & +1 front -2 rear longer gearing will raise the top speed so that highway cruising at 55mph will not peg the engine at 7K rpm constantly. 

Enhancing the power output will enable 2up riding with Meg at highway speeds, easier hill climbing with Meg onboard & better acceleration.

Switchable engine control mapping on the WBC2 will enable a high efficiency lean burn setting for commuting to & from work & a high performance mode for freeway & interstate riding sparingly. 

Tuning Honda Grom like this super popular & lots of other videos, including from Hardracing's Youtube channel to show you how to do it // I made this one mostly to document & share my experience of making it happen! Cheers & thanks for watching! 

I save my old engine oil & recycle it at a local auto parts store & want to encourage you to do the same as doing so eco-friendly & helps close the lubricating oil loop to make engine oil more sustainable & less damaging to the world's natural environments! Cheers for cooking & engine oil recycling
