It really depends on where you are riding, and what type of riding. If you are speaking about the Grom it's probably not worth the bother.
On my GPRs I have noticed a difference when I've had them on vs off.
For something like Stockton the benefit would be the bike would be more likely to slide in a low side than get caught on something. Not really a big issue though, and why it's probably not worth putting the on the Grom.
