I needed a bike to handle the trails. Used Honda Groms were going for close to brand new price and I didn't want to have to worry about beating and dinging up a $3500 motorcycle. At $1200 this was perfect for some wheelies and off-roading adventures. For anyone new to the Honda Grom Clone community, this video should shed some light on the steps to getting your 2020 Boom Vader Gen 2 (or possibly other clones) from the crate to the pavement. I'm trying to have all of the info in one place by making an all in one video of everything you should be prepared for when purchasing a Honda Grom clone, including assembly.
Check pinned comment for additional info.
====Download Manual====
The manual is a joke, but it has some useful info.

====Notes====
Inspect your gas tank for metal flakes, I didn't have any, but I have heard recently of this being a problem, vacuum it out if necessary.
The stock carburetor is hit or miss for some. I had issues starting the bike, which were resolved after switching to the PZ22. I have a video coming out on that soon, it's also a long video covering tuning, so I didn't want to make this one even longer.

One of the spacers broke while loosening so I had to get a shorter bolt, if this happens to you, this is what I ran.

I'll make a video on this when I change it, I'm currently looking at RK chains. I heard stock Grom chains work too, but I haven't tried yet.
