Honda Grom Engine Management Upgrades

We went a long way upgrading our 2018 Honda Grom 125 with aftermarket parts. Alongside a host of cosmetic improvements, we also installed a KOSO big bore kit, a larger KOSO throttle body and intake kit, and a Yoshimura exhaust system.

Our Honda Grom aftermarket upgrades project spanned a multitude of videos before we strung the entire project together into the video above. To get all these new parts to work together, we also installed engine management hardware to ensure everything operates at its peak. Watch the video above and read the steps below to see what final upgrades we did on the Grom before we gave it away!

Tools and Parts Needed – Honda Grom Aftermarket Upgrades

Tools

  • Ratchet and sockets
  • 6mm Allen
  • Wire crimp tool
  • Laptop

Part 1: Installing KOSO Mini3 Air/Fuel Ratio Meter

The KOSO Mini3 air/fuel meter mounts inside the KOSO top clamp bracket, then the combined assembly is mounted on top of the handlebars, where they replace the original handlebar mounts.

Once mounted, the wires for the KOSO Mini3 will be run forward and spliced into an ignition source and a ground source running from the ignition switch wiring harness.

PRO TIP: Always splice into wires on the switch side of an electrical connector and never the main wiring harness side. This way if anything goes wrong, you only have to replace the switch and not the entire main wiring harness.

Part 2: Installing DynoJet Wideband O2 Sensor

NOTE: Don’t touch the tip of the O2 sensor. Leave the protective cap on until you're ready to install it.

Install the DynoJet Wideband O2 sensor into the sensor bay in the exhaust pipe.

Install the DynoJet Wideband control unit in the cavity within the frame beside the battery.

Part 4: Programming the DynoJet Power Commander V Software

Install the DynoJet Power Commander V software onto a laptop and connect it to the Power Commander V unit. You can find several maps on the DynoJet website.

Because our Honda Grom upgrade project has gone far beyond a typical rebuild, DynoJet suggested we take one of their maps, zero it out and then choose our own air/fuel targets using the lambda AFR target.

NOTE: You’ll need to instruct the DynoJet Power Commander V software that you’re using a DynoJet Wideband.
