Great video! What's the model of this yoshimura I want to make sure I order the correct one. Thanks

[@UnknownOverLand]

This was the Yoshimura RS-3 Full System.

[@thenipplerider4323]

Lovely video! What was theO2 sensor you replaced the OEM with? And was it a drop-in?

[@UnknownOverLand]

That O2 sensor came with the Bazzaz EFI I had installed at the time. In a later video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYG5q35qarqChZI) I replace the Bazzaz with an Aracer setup.

[@goodboyringo9716]

At time 4:13 , the wire . Would have been nice to see where it plugged into.

[@UnknownOverLand]

Because I had a Bazzaz Efi I had installed, that o2 sensor was for that rather than the stock. In a later video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYG5q35qarqChZI) I replaced that with the aracer.

[@jeffreyelliott622]

Now if I get me one of these Honda Monkey's will you put one of these exhaust system on for me since I'm not mechanically inclined ?

[@UnknownOverLand]

I’m sure you could do it, it’s a pretty easy install!

[@1k9trainer]

You should put the spring on before you tighten down the muffler

[@UnknownOverLand]

That's a good idea, would help set everything up.

[@brianhoward9217]

Thanks for the great install vid! Please tell me, does this have the DB killer spark arrestor in it?

It is a separate piece you have to buy, but I did run one in mine basically all of the time.

[@YOSHIMOTO_HI_SPEED]

Was the monkey a good starter bike? Love the low maintenance and retro look but is driving it easy? I’ve only driven manual transmission cars never bikes

[@UnknownOverLand]

Compared to a lot of other bikes, I’d totally say this is a good starter bike. Handling, weight, and the smaller engine size makes it easier to control and learn on. Just take it slow, get good safety gear, and have fun!

@@UnknownOverLand just got my 2022 honda monkey in banana yellow 🍌 So excited!!! Ordering this exhaust when they are back in stock

[@UnknownOverLand]

That’s going to be awesome! Congrats!

[@findingneutral]

Would you happen to know if this exhaust would be compatible with the Kitaco Honda Monkey Skid Plate fitment wise? Tnx for any info.

[@UnknownOverLand]

Amazing timing on your question because I was literally looking at that this morning as well. I believe that it should. The way that it installs it's meant to cover the stock headers (including the cat) which hangs a fair amount below the engine. The RS3 header has a bend much closer to the engine which seems like it'd keep it nice and high, and away from the skid plate. The one worry I have, though, is the side of the plate where the stock exhaust comes "up"; because the stock exhaust header has the cat, the bend upwards starts further back whereas the yoshi exhaust comes almost immediately up the side. This might be right where the side panel of the kitaco sits, but I'm not sure.

[@findingneutral]

@@UnknownOverLand That's exactly where I think the Kitaco bracket will interfere. I already own the skid plate and just ordered the same exhaust as yours. I was freeze framing your install trying to catch the angles to see. I even called Yoshi but they said the did not know. I get my exhaust later this week. I'll update you on the outcome and thank you for sharing your insight and great videos.

[@UnknownOverLand]

Yes, please let me know how it goes. I know there are a few other skid plate options out there, but this was definitely the one I had my eye on.

[@findingneutral]

@@UnknownOverLand Will do.

[@findingneutral]

@@UnknownOverLand Well the skid plate did not fit due to the header pipe, without me doing some handy man mods to it. I will say I went ahead and drilled some new holes and bent the sides out a bit and made it fit . In a nut shell on the plate itself drilled two new holes as far back on it as I could go where it attaches to rear bracket that get mounted up under the engine near the kickstand area. Then I had to flex bend outward the side flare parts that come up on both frontal brackets that connect on the sides of the engine on both sides. This made more width to accommodate the header pipe coming outward more on the exhaust side. Then I had to cut out a piece of the bracket arm on the left. Where I bent and flexed the plate outward it looks a bit shabby even though I protected it with tape and a rag, but i was not about to not try since the skid plate was almost $200. It feels solid in place and doesn't look cockeyed either. So all in all I'm happy with my rigging and feel confident I could take it off and on for any maintenance needs. I do not think knowing what I know now I would buy the plate knowing I was going to have to mangle it to fit though. But I also hate hearing "tink tink tink tink" as pebbles smack my engine under side. I'm sure you could make it work with your skills if its something you really want. I looked for other plate options but did not see anything except under cowlings. If you want to see what it looks like installed on my bike shoot me your gmail and I could send pics. I'm not a creeper or anything.

[@Fourstar97]

Sounds and looks great! does your check engine light come on now?

[@UnknownOverLand]

So far, no. I do have a Bazzaz fuel mapper on the bike as well, and haven’t had the check engine light come on yet.

[@yvonnecarpenter2957]

Pardon my ignorance, why do you ask? Is that related to/caused by the exhaust replacement?

[@UnknownOverLand]

Some people have seen the check engine light come on for different changes to the bike, but it seems pretty rare.

[@Harleyforever20]

Just curious, did you install a free flowing air cleaner or a tuner?

[@UnknownOverLand]

I have both. For the intake I'm using the MNNTHBX MTake and for a tuner I've done a few things. Currently I'm running an aRacer, but I've also had the Bazzaz on the bike as well as have had a re-tuned ECU.

[@Harleyforever20]

Cool!

[@silkcustoms520]

Nice. Is that a stock Engine case. I could use that stick exhaust for a Restore I am doing. Did u have to rejet the Carb ?

[@UnknownOverLand]

Yes, the engine portion of the bike is stock. It’s actually fuel injected (PGM FI), so no rejetting. I did remap via the ECM, though, just to make things run a bit smoother.

[@patrickbresseleers5571]

The Lambda probe can simply remain in the cylinder head ... you don't have to screw it into the exhaust!

[@UnknownOverLand]

This is true, and I believe some after market headers don’t have the bung in place to move it. When I went aracer, the replacement probe only really fit in the header.

[@terryykfykf]

there’s a banana cutout at near the pipe.. nice touch

[@UnknownOverLand]

I really like when manufactures put in those little details. Makes it just that much cooler.

[@terryykfykf]

Indeed... hahahaap

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

Also a little monkey cutout. You can order a monkey shirt on the Yoshimura website. Has a small bike on the back and says Small bore life.

[@UnknownOverLand]

I may need to get one of those shirts.

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

@@UnknownOverLand I saw the guy on the Eastcoastish KZbin channel had one and somebody mentioned it in the comments. So I got one myself. Personally I think they should include one when you order a pipe for a Monkey.

[@findingneutral]

Would you happen to know the db level of the RS3 at speed? I've looked online and only found the idle DBs. Your a Guru so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

[@UnknownOverLand]

I don’t have it immediately (though i may have posted it somewhere in some of these comments sections) but I can try and get some readings tomorrow and let you know.

[@findingneutral]

@@UnknownOverLand Awesome thanks!

[@findingneutral]

@@UnknownOverLand I just scanned all the replies on this thread. Did not see the dbs. It would be interesting to know. Top rev and maybe a drive by throttled up if the db reader can do that. I wondering if its anything near 90-100db at its peak.

[@UnknownOverLand]

@@findingneutral I realized that the comments I was thinking of were in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKaZeayqmryXbpI Basically I found "Without the DB killer, idle it's about 86dB while rolling on the throttle it peaked around 116dB. With the DB killer, idle was about 82dB and throttle was around 112dB."

[@findingneutral]

@@UnknownOverLand You Sir, are awesome. I know this will sound odd ball, but I just accidentally ordered a Delkevic ds70 oval carbon for a 2020 Yamaha XT250 I also just bought. I meant to order the 18inch version. Delkevic advised the peak db level on what I ordered would be 105-110 with the baffle in. In trying to figure out if that would be tolerable or just plain obnoxious I figured I would use the good old Monkey Yoshi RS3 as a base line. Based on your findings, which I greatly appreciate 🙏, since I was having zero luck finding anywhere, I can stop stressing about having to get the brand new muffler then turn right around and pay to ship it back then order the other and pay to ship it out etc...

Hello! I have one question ... Where can I reliably buy a Yoshimura RS3 Full sistem for a Honda Monkey? Where did you buy yours? Of course I expect it to be original. Greetings from Austria.

[@UnknownOverLand]

I replied to this on another video, but no harm doing it here too! I bought mine on Amazon, but they also have them available on Steady Garage, MNNTHBX, DROWsports and Hard Racing (and likely lots of other sites, but these are the ones I frequent most for Monkey related parts).

I think they call it banana yellow.

[@Skatapatita]

WHY CHANGE EXHAUST BRO

[@UnknownOverLand]

Mostly for better sound, but it also helps the little bike breathe a little easier.

[@larrygoldman3971]

What was that sensor and wire you removed?

[@UnknownOverLand]

That is the stock O2 sensor. I have a replacement O2 sensor that came with the Bazzaz Z-AFM which I installed on the header itself.

[@yvonnecarpenter2957]

@@UnknownOverLand Can the exhaust be installed without replacing that sensor too? What is the advantage/difference between the original sensor and the one you installed?

[@UnknownOverLand]

If you don’t really change anything else, you can leave the stock sensor plugged where it is normally.

[@wannesvanrooy805]

how much does it cost

[@UnknownOverLand]

It depends on if you go full exhaust or not. The slip-on only seems to be $549, if you add the header it's about $629.

By chance, did you manage to weight both systems ? It would be interesting to know if the difference is something noticeable on a bike so small(light).

[@UnknownOverLand]

I did not, and probably should have. With the replacement header it removes a fair amount of pipe and the cat, so there’s definitely weight loss there. I’m unsure the weight difference between the mufflers, though. Maybe someone from @yoshimura_rd will wander by and chime in.

Is that red Yoshi symbol a sticker or is it permanently etched into the exhaust?

It looks like it's some type of sticker, but on first glance I cannot tell if the rivets on the side are real or just part of the decal. It does look removable, but I'm unsure what's under it.

[@felipedandrea124]

Did you feel a gain in torque or in top speed?

[@UnknownOverLand]

Generally this will be more targeted towards overall engine efficiency and some amount of horsepower. Because this system is lighter and with the change to fuel management the result would be a bit more top speed.

[@UnknownOverLand]

I totally get what you're saying, especially since $800 is a bit steep. Personally, I like the look of this pipe on the bike and I also really like the sound of it; but these are definitely personal preferences. Removing the cat, and decreasing the overall weight of the system I think are additional bonuses in the long run, but could also be done without going with the full Yoshi install.

[@UnknownOverLand]

I can see why you'd say that, it's definitely an expensive upgrade. With the removal of the cat, you will get an increase in overall HP on the bike, and the free-er flowing exhaust will also help a little bit as well. The sound and look is definitely up to personal preference. I like it, but definitely not for everyone.
