"Rear suspension bottoms out....my bum takes up the entire seat !" to many pies Alan ? Excellent review.

[@HelmetHead]

😁 Thanks 👍

[@monkeyingaround243]

Found your videos super helpful before I bought my Monkey Bike a few weeks ago! It's hilarious fun riding it around, flicking it through corners and going full throttle everywhere and not getting close to being in trouble 😂

[@HelmetHead]

Thank you 😁 Glad your enjoying the Monkey fun 👍🏍🐒

[@briancady1892]

Great video.. I live in the US. I purchased a new monkey in July 2020 have taken a 310 mile trip and a 470 mile trip as well as general local riding. I have just under 2000 miles already. I agree the chain does seem to stretch more than I would expect. I have gotten about 110 miles to the gallon riding varying terrain. I also agree that the suspension is a little weak. In general I love the bike it makes me feel like a kid again.

[@simonwoods316]

Have ordered a new monkey due early September....I'd there a worshop manual?

[@chris_dowsett]

Cracking review. Great to see a review that answers the real questions buyers want to know.

[@HelmetHead]

Thanks Chris 👍

[@hornet-cb2000]

the way you feel about that monkey and described all the positives is exactly how i felt about my honda cg 125 Brazilian 1994 could put that bike through anything and it never complained once great vid dude

Thank buddy 😁 glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@Bowlin01]

Great review Alan, I much prefer the 'emotional' review rather than just a list of specs, well done.

Brilliant review. Best comment " its not trying to be anything else" . Thing is with a Groms etc, its like they are trying to be a Sports bike. Whereas this is for fun and more fun only. Gonna get one 🤪

[@HelmetHead]

Thank you 😁👍

[@FenTour]

You have nailed this review Alan. Brilliant.

[@HelmetHead]

😁 Thanks Fen Tour 👍 🐵

[@jfro5867]

I expect the OEM chain is knackered because the rear suspension is fully compressing so much and being stretched to the max so much. I read that there is a max rider weight of 110kg on standard suspension. You probably are outside what it was designed for. No offence. Great bikes tho.

[@anthonymckernan2536]

Great review now I want one haha

[@HelmetHead]

Buy one 😁 thank you for the great comment 👍

[@DG-vf1kb]

Nice review. Another annoying issue with this engine (MSX125 Grom too) is the premature wear (around 2,000 miles or 3,200 kilometers) of the cam chain button. Otherwise, it's a fun little bike.

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi DG - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I am intrigued. What is the cam chain button?

Brilliant review. Informative & well shot. 😷👍

[@abigailbovenzi7845]

Probably more serious than your other stuff 🤪🍺🥮😆 but I liked it. A few people I know have lent towards a Monkey because of your videos, this is an informative honest review that should help many people decide if it's right for them. Great 😊

[@timpethick7862]

Great review mate! Not sure that this would take my 19 stone though 😆😆😆 . Looking for a reliable bike as a second bike.

[@HelmetHead]

Thank you 😄👍

[@ianm8429]

If you change the rear and front suspension it will take 19stone. I am 18 stone, i put hagon rear shocks on £140, i replaced the front springs with hyperpro's £110 (it was quite a job to do front springs but there is a utube vid to watch and you really need a special tool). I love these monkeys! Smiles per mile more than any bike ive ridden, very capable bike.

[@wylde39]

how do you get new suspension? Chain? raise the mud guard. Any links to where to find things?

[@ianm8429]

I agree, my monkey is the best bike bike i've owned for smiles per mile (i've owned a lot of all sizes). When you say 'Honda monkey cycle' I just think of a womans menstrual cycle and laugh my head off because this bike really has no tantrums or complications and is far cheaper to run! Wey hey ;-) I get 200mpg giving it full beans everywhere. I also put a rack on the back of my campervan and now can take it with me for mega fun trips. AWESOME. No need to do all the silly upgrades like exhaust and intake, its a 125 duh, but i did replace the throttle tube for a shorter twist on the wrist, front and rear suspension a must, tail tidy (make your own with 2 bits of angled steel easy), 14 tooth front sprocket £5 easy job for a little more top speed. The bollox. I am going to put knobblies on for some off roading. I swapped out the standard gear lever linkage system for a direct lever £20 it is better but still neutral can be hard to find first time. I would suggest cleaning the oil spinner filter and gauze before the recommended 8000 miles, i did mine at 1200 miles and the gauze was half full of crap, DIY job i would say if you have some basic tools (again utube vids available for this).

[@HelmetHead]

Great commet and brilliant advice 👍 nice one 😉

[@simonwoods316]

I javent bought one yet..I live in a shared house with a small carpark outfront..some lighting from the street...what security measures would you suggest?

[@HelmetHead]

I’d use a heavy duty chain on the rear wheel ideally chained to a grounding point. Plus a disk lock on the front and a cover over the bike. The most important thing is making it hard to steal 😉👍

[@simonwoods316]

Thank you just an idea one of the other housemates has a motorcycle covered over and chained..he rarely uses it...he may agree to me using my Kryptonite U bolt attaching both bikes together to save putting a ground anchor in.

[@simonwoods316]

Just about to test ride a Royal Enfield classic I would have preferred to test ride the meteor as it is a cruiser but there is not one available... This is all just to gain a bit of perspective re Honda monkey..

[@davidmcmanus4751]

[@marcusgallagher3390]

Am I right that the monkey doesn’t have a gear indicator? Is that a big deal if it’s going to be a first bike purchase?

[@HelmetHead]

Yes your right no Gear indicator. You can get an after market one fitted.

[@jacksutton2489]

Hi mate, quick question on the monkey. What are your personal dimensions?? I’m 6’4 and hover around 100kgs, trying to work out if I’m too big!

[@HelmetHead]

I'm 5'8 the bike is definitely worth a test ride. It feels bigger to ride then it looks. 👍

[@daveblaylock526]

you mentioned a couple hundred quid for shocks. where and what brand are you speaking of? i ask because I've been looking for shocks for my Monkey and all of the shocks I can find that have good reviews are 400 plus per pair.

[@HelmetHead]

Hello this is the sort of shocks I was talking about www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164361346432 But yes a good branded pair is £400+

[@ianm8429]

Hagon shocks are good £140. I looked at all options and these have proved really good value and on the softest setting carry me a 17stone bloke easily. The front springs need doing as well, Hyperpro springs £110 i can recommend but this is not a trivial job for DIY, but possible though as i did it.

[@alainberthaux2140]

very good vidéo , thank you , me i have a monkey yellow very good motorcycle alain france pyrénées

Thank u 😃👍

[@julianthayn9872]

What kind of basic upkeep maintenance have you done on it in 900 miles? I'm about to hit 500 and wondering if I should be doing anything (this is my first motorcycle).

[@HelmetHead]

Hello the bike is super easy to look after. First oil change at 600mile and its worth checking your chain and adjusting if needed. After that Oil change ever 1000miles and this will really help look after your engine. Oil filter change after 8000miles. This is how I look after my bike hope that helps. 😉 Ride safe 👍

Hi I'm 5'8 and the bike feels perfect to me. But it's a hard choice as I'd like a go on the Rebel but I'd still pick the Monkey as it's so much fun. 👍

@@deonogorman928 It did feel like a massive ride but the 180miles included stopping loads for filming plus the well over weighted ruck sack. As a one off I'd happily do 310miles but only once 😂🤣 to buy the a well priced bike 👍. It would so hard to give a time on that millage depending on roads etc. Maybe base it on around 50mph plus add stops for rests maybe 8hrs. Would make a great video 😂👍

@@HelmetHead Thanks for the fast response! Appreciate your input! Be blessed!

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Seymour Buts - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I'm 6ft 3inches and weight about 200lbs. I find it very comfortable and the only small bike I can fit. Mirror extentions are essential if you want to see more than your elbows. I'm averaging 147mpg and got 200 miles out of a tankfull before it ran out of fuel. It is made in Thailand, not Japan. Quality is exquisite. Comfortable cruising speed is in the low 50s and top speed attained was a very brief 70. It will pull top gear strongly at 30mph within City limits, something I value. If you want to cruise effortlessly at greater speeds then buy something else. I changed the oil and cleaned the filter at 600 miles and now replace oil every 1000 miles. Chain stretch or frustration with the gear change has not been an issue for me. I fitted a carrier and a 25L topbox but the carrier cracked, presumably from the box vibrating so don't overload the carrier. Now let me get back to Monkeying about!
