Bolt Motorcycle Hardware Continuous Grommet GRM-EURO Grease-Free

Description

Product Overview

The GRM‑EURO continuous grommet, manufactured by Bolt Motorcycle Hardware, is a precision‑engineered component designed to replace the original quick‑release grommets found on a range of sport motorcycles. Constructed from a proprietary rubber compound, this grommet offers a unique balance of flexibility and durability, allowing it to conform to the mounting holes while providing a secure grip on the release pin. The material eliminates the need for lubricants such as grease, which can attract dirt and degrade over time, thereby extending the service life of both the grommet and the surrounding plastic panels.

Measuring 2.75 x 4.25 x 0.5 inches and weighing just 0.64 ounces, the GRM‑EURO is compact enough to fit within the tight confines of modern motorcycle chassis without compromising structural integrity. Its design incorporates an easy‑release pin mechanism that can be engaged and disengaged with minimal force, reducing the risk of accidental panel damage or personal injury during routine maintenance. The grommet’s rubber composition also provides a cushioning effect, absorbing vibrations and protecting the bike’s bodywork from stress‑induced cracks.

Compatibility is a core strength of this product. It is engineered to meet the specifications of Kawasaki, Husqvarna, and KTM models that originally used part number 47106003160, making it a direct, drop‑in replacement for the OEM component. The GRM‑EURO has earned a strong reputation among riders, reflected in its 5‑star rating from verified customers and its ranking as #63 in the Continuous Grommets subcategory on major e‑commerce platforms.

Usage

Designed for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts, the GRM‑EURO grommet excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. Whether you are performing a quick panel removal during a track day pit stop or conducting a thorough overhaul in a workshop, the grommet’s grease‑free operation ensures a clean, efficient process. The rubber compound’s low friction surface allows the pin to slide smoothly, reducing the effort required to release side panels and eliminating the need for forceful impacts that could damage surrounding components.

Riders who frequently adjust fairings, windshields, or other aerodynamic elements will appreciate the grommet’s ability to hold the pin firmly when engaged, preventing unwanted movement at high speeds. Additionally, the grommet’s resistance to oil, fuel, and environmental contaminants makes it suitable for use in harsh riding conditions, from dusty off‑road trails to wet track environments.

Because the GRM‑EURO does not rely on grease, it also reduces maintenance intervals. Users report that the grommet remains functional for extended periods without the need for re‑application of lubricants, translating into lower long‑term ownership costs and a cleaner workshop environment.

Installation Guide

Before beginning installation, verify that the mounting hole dimensions match the specifications of the GRM‑EURO gromet. Clean the area of any residual grease, oil, or debris using a lint‑free cloth and a mild solvent. Align the gromet with the hole, ensuring the pin channel is oriented correctly. Gently press the gromet into place until it seats fully; the rubber’s flexibility will allow it to conform to the cavity without excessive force.

To engage the pin, insert it into the designated slot until it clicks into the secure position. The pin should remain firmly locked, resisting movement under normal riding conditions. To release, apply light pressure to the pin’s release lever; the rubber’s low friction will allow the pin to slide out smoothly. Re‑check the fit after the first ride to confirm that the gromet remains properly seated.

Compatibility

The GRM‑EURO is engineered as a direct replacement for the OEM part number 47106003160, which is used across several Kawasaki, Husqvarna, and KTM models. This includes, but is not limited to, the Kawasaki Ninja series, Husqvarna FC series, and KTM 1290 Super Duke. The gromet’s dimensions and pin configuration have been validated against factory specifications, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for additional modifications.

For riders who own multiple motorcycles or who are considering upgrades, the GRM‑EURO offers a universal solution that can be stocked as a spare part. Its compatibility across major brands reduces inventory complexity for workshops and simplifies the parts ordering process for individual owners.

FAQ

Can the GRM‑EURO gromet be installed without removing the side panel?

Yes. The gromet’s flexible rubber material allows it to be pressed into the mounting hole with the side panel already in place, provided the panel is not obstructing the pin channel. This feature speeds up installation and reduces the number of steps required during a maintenance session.

Is any special tool required to engage or release the pin?

No special tools are needed. The pin is designed for hand operation, featuring an ergonomic release lever that can be manipulated with a fingertip. This eliminates the need for wrenches or screwdrivers, further protecting the bike’s bodywork from accidental scratches.

How does the rubber compound perform in extreme temperatures?

The proprietary rubber compound maintains its elasticity and strength across a wide temperature range, from sub‑freezing conditions to high‑heat environments typical of prolonged high‑speed riding. Laboratory testing has shown that the material does not become brittle in cold weather nor does it soften excessively in hot climates, ensuring consistent performance year‑round.

What should I do if the pin does not stay locked after installation?

If the pin fails to lock securely, first verify that the gromet is fully seated and that no debris is present in the mounting hole. Clean the area if necessary and reinstall the gromet, ensuring the pin aligns correctly with the internal channel. Should the issue persist, contact Bolt Motorcycle Hardware customer support for troubleshooting assistance or a replacement unit.

Does the GRM‑EURO affect the bike’s warranty?

The GRM‑EURO is a direct OEM‑compatible replacement and is covered by its own manufacturer warranty. Installing this gromet does not void the original motorcycle warranty, provided the installation follows the recommended procedures and does not involve any modifications to the bike’s original structure.
