aRacer RCMini5 for the 2022 Install + Grom & Monkey Top Speed Run!

[@Image-X]

Just think how awesome it’s gonna be with the RS-9T Dual. 👍

[@davidburgenmeyer1336]

Totally Awesome video! I'm soo Excited to get my new 2023 Monkey!

[@18droc]

Those are some good numbers. Thanks for the video.

[@jeffjohnon4223]

The fairing they make for the monkey helps a lot for speed.

[@billwilliamson9842]

the pyramid or?

[@jeffjohnon4223]

@@billwilliamson9842 Yeah that one,there are a couple just like it though,even a Puig Raptor windshield is looking pretty good,with the low power of the bike any aerodynamic improvements are going to make a noticeable difference.

Its like 100 here in East Texas. I stay in mot days. My builds are on hold.

[@CIarkNova]

I’m in Illinois. Been here my whole life. I can’t do anything less than 75 and humidity. I hate cold.

[@superairdave]

Great video as usual, love the mods!

[@taylorbrooks6610]

Gotta love the Florida humidity lol

[@SpACeCruizeR2o3]

wow i finally found a bike better then mine good review and info tips my dude

[@alphakilo-79]

Great video. Thanks. Both cool bikes, but I definitely prefer the style of the monkey and all the work you've done to it.

[@billwilliamson9842]

I have a deposit on a 2022 monkey, hope 1st gear is lower and the slight compression bump helps out throughout the rpm range. The exhaust is also supposed to have been revised to a single chamber muffler and smaller cat. was this true on the grom? also lookin forward to the better rear shocks as I am a bigger guy, anywhere between 210-260, just depends on beer and good food intake lol

[@TB_Production_aka_TB_76]

Do you plan to upload videos of you on that Monkey? I'm the same weight, so I'll find it very interesting to see a review including a topspeed test from you 🤞🏻

[@johnp4673]

My grom is 2 weeks out. I have the zoom brute exhaust and the chimera intake. Can't wait for big bore kits.

[@mcguyver3215]

Great video, thanks bro!

[@tonnynijholt7090]

Feels good for only exhaust and a filter! I’m 33 and I want a Grom😭

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I just love the monkey bike, sir ever consider a turbo :)

[@TheJosephayal]

The 2022 looks less retro

[@minibikeaction4266]

I like how your tricking out your new bike! Kind of found out the hard way that the 140 rear 120 front throws off the aspect ratio and has a negative effect on handling. best to stay with the 130/120 arrangement at lest for a race track environment.

[@Miwiz1]

Can you explain more about the aRacer temperature compensation (#5) on what would it be the best set up for koso 170cc with all the upgrades. Im having a weird vibration when hitting 70s mph.

[@goldenpond1947]

Hi! First of all tks for all your sharing videos on Monkey it really helps me a lot. I have a question that my 2020 Monkey handle bar vibrates a lot, yet my cousin's Monkey is literally no vibration(bought 6 months a part) . Wat cold be the problem or setting I should check? I have removed catalyst converter and replaced aracer super 2, increased idled, bar end weights... Still vibrates a lot. I noticed voltage is only 11.4v at idle, could this be the problem?

[@eastcoastish]

Does it vibrate at idle or only at certain speeds? Vibration is usually wheel balance (although I don't think Honda even balances these little 12" wheels)

[@johnh9507]

great videos

[@tubehead8203]

I've seen 74 on my 22 grom.

[@unique-solutions]

Sorry to bother you on this build but I need help on the correct throttle cable for my 72' CT70 with the 125cc Lifan engine like you did some time back. Standard cable is to short. Please help.

[@eastcoastish]

Throttle cables are tricky because it really depends on what throttle you have and what carburetor you have. Different carburetors have different length tubes coming out of the top, and some have adjusters and some don't. Reach out to Vince at tboltusa.com and he should be able to recommend the best fit for your application. I've started just buying long cables and then cutting it down and soldering on a new end so the fit is perfect but tbolt should have something that will work for you.

[@unique-solutions]

@@eastcoastish thanks, keep up the great builds.

[@manuelpereira1384]

Hi there, Nice video! Can you please tell me the brand and model of the exhaust system? What other upgrades does Monkey have? Best Regards

[@eastcoastish]

The Monkey has a Yoshimura RS3 exhaust. You can watch all 49 videos I have of this bike here: kzbin.info/aero/PLBC1vXtmelftuaa6aUWFnkLM6lGIpknOf :)

[@manuelpereira1384]

@@eastcoastish Thank you very much!;o) Best Regards

[@minibikeaction4266]

Did you ever go back and check and time the cam correctly, as I stated you set the cam to the ignition timing F mark not the T timing mark.

[@eastcoastish]

Yeh I replied on the other comment, it's timed to the T mark, the compression of the piston wouldn't let it sit straight at the T without holding it which is why you see it closer to the F.

[@Bryan-needsabuke]

Where did you get the spacers from?

[@xorbe2]

How accurate is your '22 Grom speedo, have you gps'd yet? I went out on the country roads today. About 58 tops gps, and only 80 mpg, seems really bad, I dunno.

[@eastcoastish]

On those top speed runs I had the GPS on the phone and they were within 1-2 mph all the way.

[@roydenvickers]

My 22 SP is only 117 miles old. I have seen 62 top (good conditions), and can do 55-58 usually no problem. Mpg is at 125ish so far.

[@xorbe2]

@@roydenvickers Mine's just under 200 miles. Yeah 55-58 is my typical top speed, but sometimes as low as 52, and I don't ever see 60 normally. On a short downhill, I got to 65 tucked. If I baby the bike in 5th gear at lower speeds, the mpg can get insane 150+ but that's boring lol.

[@Rust_Belt_Fab]

What mods are done to the Monkey?

[@eastcoastish]

There’s a large playlist of videos on the Monkey in this channel. 181cc bb kit, CNC port and polished head with bigger valves and cam, throttle body, intake manifold, injector, intake, exhaust, oil catch can, oil cooler and I’m sure a few other things I’m forgetting.

[@gaberobinson112]

are those plastics from somewhere or are they stickers I want to get a 22 but I cant seem to find the body plastics so i can get spares.

[@eastcoastish]

Just decals.

[@CIarkNova]

Is there any difference to the bLink2, and bLink basic?

[@KillaKoa]

I have been following your builds and I have purchased the exhaust and intake. After seeing the price of an aracer mini 5 with the af1 module, I’m at a stand still with following your build. I was wondering if I could use the intake and exhaust without tuning?

[@eastcoastish]

You could but it will be running a bit lean. Check out DHM, David is now doing ECM flashes for the ‘22 so he can program your stock ECM with a tune for the intake and exhaust.

[@sadmane9998]

@@eastcoastish so the reason for my check engine light means it needs to be tuned?

[@eastcoastish]

What mods do you have? An exhaust or intake shouldn't throw a check engine light...

[@emielderudder6961]

I was using an older GoPro 5 in this video, I’m using the GoPro 10 now.

[@samtarariverasanchez59]

How would u go by finding the fuse adapter for the af1

[@eastcoastish]

I got mine at Autozone, but I've since realized that I don't need to have stand alone power for the AF1, you can plug the AF1 power cable directly into the RCMini 5 for power which is a cleaner solution.

[@samtarariverasanchez59]

@@eastcoastish alright that’s works out tky

[@TheVitalstatistixxx]

What's the impact of running the Aracer without the AF-1 to auto-tune? you would just select a pre-map with your exhaust and intake selected?

[@eastcoastish]

There aren't really any tunes yet; the only tunes that come loaded on the new aRacer is stock and 170cc big bore kit with cam and intake and injector; not sure why since I don't believe a 170cc bb kit even exists for this engine yet. If you're just going to do exhaust + intake + cam or some combo of them, check out DHM, he's got flashes available for the stock ECM.

[@joetucker3690]

There is now a map for RS exhaust and intake FYI

[@Botzz28]

how is the RC mini 5? i want to get it but i dont think there is any shop around me that will install it

[@eastcoastish]

It's great and very easy to install. If you have basic tools you should try the install yourself. I bet most motorcycle shops would do the install too.

[@mochanic5498]

What exactly is done to these engines?

[@eastcoastish]

I’ve got dozens of videos on my channel detailing the engine builds.

[@nickk5245]

My mini5 messed my bike up, now the motor Boggs down past 25 mph

[@eastcoastish]

I’d re-autotune then. Make sure you keep closed loop on after the auto tune for fine adjustments.

[@aznpetyaw]

Which bike is all around more fun to ride?

[@eastcoastish]

Right now it's still the Monkey, it's got a lot of power for its size and it's goofy looking fun. They're both great bikes though.

[@SamSamuylik]

That 72 looks a whole lot like a 12 in the thumbnail 🤣

[@eastcoastish]

You're right. I hope no one would actually make the mistake but I updated the graphic anyway ;)

[@3pilot]

why's the monkey faster than grom? aren't they same engine size?

[@eastcoastish]

Both are heavily modified, the Monkey moreso than the Grom (or at least when I filmed this) out of the dealership they'll both do about 60-65mph depending on your weight.

[@javierruedas5491]

@@eastcoastish would it be possible to get the grom up to 82 as well then ?

[@jordanbass9167]

So what's the exhaust and intake you have

[@eastcoastish]

The Grom has the new Chimera exhaust and Yoshimura RS9T full exhaust. The Monkey has the 50mm Dingerbuilt intake for the Grom and the Yoshimura RS3 exhaust. I've got videos for all of them on the channel.
