Boom Vader Gen 2 Exhaust Shipping Update!

My latest update from Amazon about my Boom Vader Gen 2 exhaust moved! Yes, I’ve checked the Amazon site every couple of days and found the last part of my Boom Vader’s exhaust upgrade has had its tracking information updated.

Drum roll, please!

Some News Is Good News!

With an update on the package’s tracking and status being: “Package transferred to another carrier for delivery.”

I feel it’s almost here, but again, Almost.

Last Of My Boom Vader’s Performance Upgrades. (For Now!)

Originally the plan was to keep the Boom Vader motorcycle stock as long as possible, mainly for the break-in period. However, as I kept riding the Boom Vader, I felt it needed more and more upgrades. Especially performance upgrades. My stock Boom Vader top speeds at the red line weren’t very impressive ( Stock Boom Vader’s Top Speed Test ), but this improved with the upgrades.

I’ve upgraded the front sprocket of my Boom Vader, a typical upgrade for a Grom Clone. I went from a 14 tooth front sprocket to a 17 tooth front sprocket. I got top speed upgrades doing the front sprocket change, but the bike now has a hard time getting up to max speed (red line on the tachometer). My Boom Vader top speed post after front sprocket change: 17t Upgraded Front Sprocket Boom Vader Top Speed Test.

I’ve upgraded from the stock carburetor to a VM22 Mikuni carburetor. Another typical Grom Clone motorcycle upgrade, but well worth it. The stock carburetor that the Boom Vader came with started leaking. Another specific Grom Clone motorcycle problem. With the new carburetor upgrade, including removing some exhaust parts, the bike started getting some acceleration improvements.

The last step for a performance boost from my Boom Vader motorcycles is a low restriction exhaust.  

I made a mod, or improvement, to the stock exhaust ( First Boom Vader 125 (A Grom Clone) Exhaust Mod!) but couldn’t feel a real boost in acceleration. However, doing so got me to jump on the bike for a longer ride, and riding the Boom Vader is fun. 😀

Now I get an update that the drop-in exhaust upgrade is moving, so I’m getting ready for this step, stock exhaust out and new exhaust in. Yippee!

Remember, Upgrades Don’t Always Mean Faster Boom Vader. :/

Remember, the top speed of my Boom Vader is limited to what RPM I am at and the gear. Besides changing the front sprocket, I’ve done nothing to change the motorcycle’s chain gearing. So the top speed after the front sprocket change is the same top speed now(@7500+ RPMs), but with faster acceleration getting there.

Also, Not All Performance Upgrades Equal A Faster Motorcycle.

Now don’t get wrong, I am looking forward to any performance upgrade I get to acceleration, but the new exhaust will allow for a pretty attractive slip-on muffler choice.  

I hear the muffler I have, still sitting in the box in the corner of my dining room, is a good muffler—low resistance with good sound. I can’t wait.

Just An Exhaust Shipment Update.

I received the new muffler and new exhaust gaskets for this upgrade ( Ordered My Boom Vader Exhaust Upgrade Parts (A Dummy)  ). And I have been waiting patiently, sure, for the last part—the exhaust piping which is coming from China. 

Once here, I plan to do the exhaust upgrade ASAP and share with you the outcome. Thanks for checking back, and stay tuned!!!!

Ride Safe, Ride Fun!
